I think the way to go would be to find a truck with air ride rear suspension (no-brainer, at least 80% come that way), put in air-suspended seats for driver AND passenger, then put a Brock's Ad-a-Ride front air suspension kit (ask Warpath about this one). I would say that between all this air ride stuff, the ride would be QUITE tolerable. I personally believe buses have a rather queasy ride, to the point of actually being mushy. I would not want my truck riding like a bus. As you may surmise, the Oregon trip sort of opened my eyes on a few things.
Also, I agree on doing a shorter HDT conversion, maybe 18-20' coach length, behind a cab with integral 30-40" sleeper to get the extended-cab effect. This is what I have in mind to do when I get to putting my rig together. Are we on the same page here?
