My name is Pete and my wifes name is Jean, we purchased our bus in November of 1998.It was an entertainers coach, we were told it was used first by Trisha Yearwood, Charlie Daniels and it was used last by the Statler Brothers and then we purchased it.
The bus had 12 bunks and a front and rear lounge, a small bathroom with a mini sink and toilet, the kitchen was a microwave and an ice box. We stripped it from the rear to the middle,we did all the converting in the back half and had it usable the first year. The second year we did the front half and it was still usable, it was always usable while we were converting it. Then we jumped around from the bathroom to the front, we always had a bathroom, shower. All the woodwork was done piece by piece by my son, all the cabinets are made out of birch. While working on the inside we still had to do things on the outside, new tires, new shocks, motor and other things, (I forgot to mention its a 6v-92). It depended on the weather if we worked on the inside or outside.
A lot of other things had to be done, losing a lot of sleep figuring out where things were going to go and if they were going to fit where we wanted them.
As of today we are still living with a temporary living area, we need a new couch, tables and chair, but it works for now. Maybe I can explain more later.
By the way we did all the work ourselves, except for the motor it was done by
Diesel Exchange in Springfield, Mo.
I hope I can explain more later on, as you all know there is a lot involved.
