    Another idea is to have your business own the bus, that way all the depreciation, maintenance, fuel costs etc. are charged off to the business as the owner. You would then pay the company for your use when taking pleasure trips. We do this with our company cars and it works well and keeps the IRS happy!

    Perfect record keeping is obviously important.

    Dan,

    You can post it as an article which is set up for PDF files.

    A seated coach is not going to share pneumatic systems, especially the suspension with a shell made for conversion, but right now any information is going to help.

    Hello Jerry

    We just purchased a 2000 Featherlite Vantare with an RVAC system and no OTR ac. Has difficulty in cooling in a hot enviornment. Im curious what system you used to replaced the RVAC system. I had been told that was not doable.

    Karl, looked at Jeff’s invoice from 12/3/15. I think your chambers are the same. $2652 parts and labor. Geo.

    That is correct Tim, it’s the Techlink Computer. Mine does not have a fan and doesn’t get real hot.

    Tommy,

    If Explorer wants an appraisal would’nt they provide a list (3) to choose from. The question is who is acceptable ?

    If Liberty isn’t taken seriously as they probably sell more Liberty bus then anyone on the planet how could any one else be acceptable.

    What a catch 22
