I like the way it is classified as a "class A" motorhome.

I've looked at several truck conversions as they would probably be my close second choice after a bus conversion. The one thing they do have over buses is ease of maintenance. Most things are way easier to get to and just about any truck garage will welcome your business.

RE: Kingsley Coach on Ebay
I hear ya Tom. My next task, and one that I've been procrastinating on, is replacement of the o-ring seals on my Series-60 oil cooler. If it were a Class-C Kingsley the job would've been done long ago. On a class-a bus I'm sure you're intimately familiar with the hoops I gotta jump thru to get 'er done! Sad

RE: Kingsley Coach on Ebay
I know John. It's simple! Just a bolt on, but to get to it I need to remove the underbody shrouding, drain the radiator, remove a coolant pipe, tear the bedroom apart to gain access to the hatch, and possibly remove the turbo and associated exhaust pipework, and then I need a skinny person with long arms. What really hurts is that it was misting way back when I had the radiator out. With the radiator out I could have simply walked up to it, much like a Kingsley. Alas, a Kingsley is not for me. I'm way to much into the flat floor from bumper to bumper and optimization of space that a Class-A provides.

Two thoughts immediately come to mind:

1) How sick were you that day????


and the more obvious

2) DOH! Smile

Yep. It's the "gettin' to it" that's the killer. Of course, there are some things on trucks that can try your patience too.

Size wise that Kingsley is 45' long. Plenty of room!

AND, it's a Peterbilt with a Prevost back! What's not to like! Big GrinBig Grin
