We have a bus conversion (MC8) and a HDT conversion --- the bus is awesome -- can't really overload it (unless you pack 30 battery's in it) --- rides VERY well. No slideout -- but good room. We took out the old bus interior (restroom was a bear) and then we designed the interior - no cardboard - no staples.
Only one disadvantage (for us) --- is the engine. Non-turbo 8V71 does not do hills, does not do altitude.
Instead of doing an engine swap for a 4 cycle engine (read $$$$$$) we decided to purchase a HDT and TT for our summer journey's.
We spend 4 months in the bus in S Texas --- travel the US in the truck. (we're in the bus now - will head home Tuesday - truck is parked next to the bus)
Oh.... insurance cost is the same for truck and the bus.
Works for us.
