No expense was spared on this this bus conversion and it could not be built today for the cost of additional options and accessories alone.
It is set up for a couple to live comfortably in full time but will sleep 4 using the couch which converts to a bed.
The bus is located in The Rio Grande Valley (South Texas) but I will deliver it anywhere in US at my cost for fuel & expenses. There is also an international airport 10 minutes away in the event the winning bidder wants to fly in and drive it back. It was serviced last spring when we planned to make one more trip but wife had serious accident and our summer trip was cancelled. Thus, it has 0 miles on the service and is ready to go.
I have clear title to the coach.

There is much more additional information and photos of the coach and history of same on my Footloose Website
