Converted coaches are a merger of a high quality highway or tour type bus with a luxury or recreational vehicle type interior. This book answers the typical questions asked by a novice and goes beyond that to address the questions that should be asked before purchasing a coach or before planning systems and an interior. Various chapters provide basic information on shells, interior design, converted coach systems and components, operations and maintenance. A list of popular or possible alternatives are presented and their pros and cons discussed. Special attention is given to underfloor systems. The basic intent is to guide the novice around obvious problem areas, to provide information for designing a coach that is more practical, to make coach operations more understandable and safer and to introduce coach maintenance concepts.
