Here's a small bit of info on Kingsley: Kingsley Coach KNGS description of business

Here's another article about Kingsley: Fit for a King

Ralph Dickenson, founder, owns Buses For Sale at BusesAndMore.com - Buy Buses and Sell Buses , at least he did as of a couple years ago. Now it looks like J.D. or Darcy are listed as the persons to contact on their site. I'm pretty sure they are Ralph's kids. Maybe Ralph has retired? I'd go to busesandmore and give them a call and I bet they wouldn't mind chatting about the construction of their coaches. From that first history link I put up above it looks like the boxes were made by Thor. Sounds like regular rv construction, not that good. Then they changed and made their own I think. Maybe better? I think most of their trucks were named for the customer so if you know the name of that one you're looking at they might know about it.
