I saw that company in Key West many years ago. They had two Mercedes buses with sleeping berths and large cooking facilities. I think they had a chef on board doing all the cooking. I tried to meet them but nobody spoke english. | ||

If all those couples get that bus rocking in unison, they could flop it over, eh? Might have outriggers... | ||

When I was living in England about 35 years ago, I saw a big "Sunday paper magazine" spread on this company. Not much seems to have changed. The photos in that article were taken during a trip across central Morrocco, in the western Sahara -- very dramatic. Although, the photos showed the restroom, which was a 4X4' section of tent fabric set up vertically with tent poles and stakes complete with shovel and that didnt' seem very dramatic to me. I have a bus conversion because "I don't like camping". | ||

These can be seen all over Africa - A few times I had wished I was in a hard sided vehicle as opposed to a tent - Bruce, even in the downtown of capital cities they have 20 foot deep latrines - There are no RV parks and no facilities in 99% of Africa so pigtails or dump valves are useless - FWIW | ||

Umm. Pardon me for thinking this..but...why not simply outfit a skoolie, with under carraige lockers, like a big-band tour bus if you want that? Might be fun for tha national parks... | ||

When driving a few years ago, I used to see the Mercedes based bus running around the country. I could just imagine any US travelers of over 50 years of age traveling that way. Good Luck, TomC |
