Cheers MJ for taking the time to photo and post those pics. those buses are really something else, fantastically well appointed. Must get a bit cramped though with 10-15 egos on board!!, not to mention a bit whiffy in the communal sleeping area!!
If i won the lottery I wouldn’t mind treating myself to one of those and spend the summers touring around Europe!!,
Guess there are some stories to tell about was goes on on those buses!1 Still, what happens on tour stays on tour I suppose

Cheers once again…and now, back to trucks!
no worries bullit, happy to help, yes it can be very cramped, and extra wiffy, hence the 3.5 million airfreshners everywhere! if you wanted a new one in that spec, you wouldnt get much change from half a million, even a good one, a few years old will be in the hundreds of thousands, i’ll make more of an effort with the trucks for you now!

Still some great pics on this thread, however, I have a small request…The thread is about Tour “TRUCKS” but is there any chance of posting up some intereior shots of the layout of those mega tour BUSES please.
They certainly look the dogs doo dhaa`s and look like they are fitted out to quite a high standard!
Cheers chaps.
as per your request bullit…here goes! she’s 22 tonnes unladen, add, on average, 10-15 punters per tonne, rear axle is lift/steer, allthough we rarely run with it up
entry thru the front door, into cab area
my office, the bus chassis/cab is based on a mercedes design, hence the same style buttons/controls. fully auto or semi auto 8 speed 'box, excellent retarder which will happily bring you to a near stop without touching the brakes
fold down full size driver bunk, entry door into main living area
view into seating/servery area
kitchen/servery area
dining area
view back at door into cab area
guess!
bus humour
upstairs bunk area, sleeps up to 16, usually only layed out for 14 as two extra bunks go accros the front up to the top windscreen
back lounge
again
well, thats all, hope you enjoyed, and hope you’ll forgive me for hijacking the trucks page, i blame bullit!
Ah the no solids crew !! , always wondered what the inside of the beat the street style tour buses were like,thanks for the photos MJ.
Still, what happens on tour stays on tour I suppose 
not got many conference haul!
