This is a Easter Conversion and I am sorry, but it is total garbage! They take a travel trailer and slap it on a truck chassis. The structure on these travel trailers is sparse at best to save weight. Interiors are fake everything again to save weight and they are just not going to hold up to what a truck chassis is going to offer.

Also being a double axle that is setup for 40,000 lbs. it is going to ride rough. You won't have cabinets on the walls after a years worth of use.

Peter I agree with you on removing the sleepers on conversions. You can go with a condo and cut it back take advantage of the standup walk through, but to put seats in a sleeper just doesn't work. (been there done that) Passengers are going to want to be entertained while you travel, specially on long distances. So get them in the back where the TV, stereo, food, ect.. is. It sounds great to have seats in a sleeper, but it is dark, usually no one puts big enough side windows in, and they can't see forward anyway, and if they are prone to motion sickness, forget about it.
