I believe the max overall is 45'(though I think I have seen 47' bus conversion recently). A a full blown truck conversion on a new twin screw chassis w/ multiple slides should still come in under $200,000.

If you get something going be sure to keep us updated.

Warpath...after speaking to someone today at Show Hauler and Beck's Marine, I don't understand why the RV crowd doesn't flock to these units. Full steel cage, multi-slides, fully loaded for under 200,000? Something doesn't smell right. Why would someone pay $250,000 or more with this option? Check out these prices:

1. 2003 Holiday Rambler Navigator..40 ft...$380,993.
2. 2003 American Coach Tradition...40 ft...2 slides...$254,506.
3. 2002 Tiffin Zephyr...43 ft...2 slides...$313,775.
4. 2003 Bluebird...40 ft...636,718 with NO slides!

None of these coaches have full steel cages. I just don't get it. Call me ignorant but what's the catch?

What is so different about these conversions? Are they loud? Do they drive poorly? Are they dangerous?
