Thanks Craig, but not in the market right now, I am quite happy with my older Spartan Chassis Coachmen Destiny.

We could not agree with you more. Tom originally owned a Safari Trek (Class A gas), but it really wasn't getting the kind of gas mileage that he really wanted; not to mention that the engine was up front, and that it was kind of too small for two grown adults and three dogs. The height of it inside also left much to be desired. Tom is 6'1", and the interior height was only about the same height that he is, and needless to say he was always hitting his head on something.

The Class A diesel pusher that we now have (Gulf Stream Tour Master), the interior height is 7'6", a whole foot and 1/2 taller than he is and is much more roomy. His prior motor home didn't even have slide outs. This one has two slide outs; one in the living area and one in the bedroom.

I can definitely say one thing, since I have been with Tom, I cannot see us living any other way but being full-timers. If you get bored with one city, or work is through in one city, you can always move somewhere else.

the class A is on a much bigger sturdy frame , that makes a huge differance in the ride , no heat from the motor under you feet like the gas A.
I would not by another gas motorhome after having a pusher ..
just my thoughts!!!

.I bought a International 9.0 diesel school bus that was converted into a motorhome. This bus flies on the open road, and is built more sturdy than some RV's that I have been in. Solid steel and able to buy parts and screws at the local hardware store. I am making newer modifications, and with all the open roof space, installing solar panels. Main problem that I have encountered, is that bus's are not that well insulated, but I installed ceiling tiles all along the inside. Another modification coming is installing compartments underneath in all the unused space, for tools, luggage. Should be ready to roll spring of '11.

I live in Wisconsin, am considered "poor" but I am restoring a '83 International school bus for living on the road. I just downloaded some pictures. It may not have all the comforts of home, but it is a well built, steel re-enforced school bus that holds a lot of stuff. I once was well off, working structural steel, bridges and towers and I owned a Winnebago. Plastic is nice and light, but with steel, you can modify things nicely.
