After selling my 1991 XL Prevost a couple months back, thinking about the Super C's myself. I feel your pain Scott. Seems like the 11 + years we owned ours, take a small trip and work on something, ( not engine related) but imagine that will be on anything we run down the road with.

We travel with Jim and Becky they sold their Eagle and bought a super C  on a Freightliner 40 ft long with a DD13 500 hp engine and they average a constant 10.2 MPG and they love it

[Scott & Heather]

Yeah we’ve seriously talked many times about a truck conversion. Easier to tow, easier to get engine access for fixes, excellent parts a availability nationwide, better MPGs, less overheating issues with front mount radiator, better drivability, better safety with a nose to crunch before my legs do. Lots of pluses and few minuses. I do think it’s in our future, because we are traveling more than we ever were and I don’t see that going away any time soon. I’m 39 and Heather is 37. Our girls are 5 and 3 so even though we’ve been fulltiming for almost 11 years now, we have a lifetime of coach travel ahead of us so we should consider something slightly more modern than a two stroke 1992 bus.

Scott you can take a look at https://www.racingjunk.com just to see things that have been done. A lot of those would not interest you since they have garages attached but some are amazing.

Seen a few this summer, and one had a semi tractor pulling an rv trailer.

What I don't like about the super C's is they are hard for older people to get in and out of because of the entrance they set so high

[Jim Blackwood]

Yeah but by the time Scott is that old the girls will be moved out and there may be more and better options. Sounds like for them the Super C might be a real good choice. OTOH, how big of a sleeper can you put on one? Big enough for 4 people who are used to a bus to ramble around in on trips?

Guess it all depends on how things are situated. I've seen some nice commercially made Super C units with a side door just like any Class A motorhome, complete with a step well and drop down outside steps. Pretty easy to just use the side door and walk into the cab if things are set up correctly.

Super C's have a side door but where you have 4 steps most of those have 7 steps or more,they set on the truck frame no way around the steps

As I stated in the Super C thread, the floor height on a modern bus (H3, J or E) is higher than the frame rails on any truck.

MCI later Es and Js are a very inexpensive platform to put miles on.

Super C's bodies are raised on the frames for the slides almost a foot I just came back from looking at some super C's made by Reengage and Winnebago those things are pricey new @ 400 grand some are nice though
