I use Open Roads as many Bus Conversion owners do, and get up to 40 cents off per gallon at many truck stops. https://myopenroads.com/

I drove my bus 2,000 miles earlier this week. I saw major truck stop diesel prices that were 30 cents to $1 more than other truck stops. I would see lines to fuel at Loves, or Flying J, or other major truck stops while across the street was another truck stop with much lower prices, but no lines.
Do most truckers get discounts at major truck stops? Why else would they not fuel up at the cheaper truck stop?
I use Mudflap sometimes for fuel discounts, but they are not always cheapest. I find heading out west on I-80 that Maverik is almost always cheapest. Mudflap often has five cents off at Maverik, but I have credit cards that will give 5% back at gas stations.

Brother had a Kohler generator that ran on propane. Factory unit. 4 cylinder 10kw. Worked well for him. He had a 50 gallon tank in his 04.

Secured the panels, I was looking for and a few extra body items. From Michael Humbert in Waconia, MN.
Incredible inventory of panels, several of many nos items.He also indicated he had 04 panels and parts for both. A couple 06's parked, an h8h 649 and another shell. Lots of components stack in several places also. Nice person to deal with. Was his father's operation till he passed about a year ago.
He mentioned he had, windshields, and rear corner windows for 04's. Didn't cthink to ask if those corner ones were rear side or rear rear. He did say, none of rear center ones. Thanks for the tips on sources. Happened to be visiting daughter in Kalamazoo, so driving distance was shorter than from Pa. But still around 9 1/2 hours, and around Chicago and St. Paul.

Not easily done at all. Many vehicle controls and systems are under the floor not to mention the structural members involved. Consider, Shift linkage mounts and control rod routing, Air brake valve and lines. Throttle pedal mounts-linkages-cable routing, Steering gear box mounted under the floor and various other components carrying the motion to the steering wheel and much more. Not to mention the dash and instrument/switch clusters having to be raised in order to retain any semblance of a usable or proper driver to controls geometry and human factors engineering interface. Way too many variables to rationally consider this. Coaches have a raised passenger level to increase the height for the under floor luggage compartments. If you don't like the driver position then you might consider getting a Transit bus with a typical low floor configuration where the driver shares the same level as the passengers, which is obviously what you seek, or a School bus of some kind. As I've always said.... Coaches are different for many reasons and usually much more expensive and proprietary in nature. They're designed for a type of service and those of us who choose to convert them must accept the reality of their inherent layout and adapt that to our new service paradigm without destroying the underlying vehicle reliability, functionality or usability in the process.
