Found this one in the $26k area.

People are asking the seller a lot of questions. There must be a lot of interest on this conversion.

Does anyone have an idea of what the tractor portion length is?

What do you think of the floor plan where the bathroom is all the way to the rear rather than putting the beds all the way in the rear and the bathroom in the center?

I can think of one disadvantage and one advantage. If you want to use the bathroom, you must walk through the sleeping area disturbing those who are sleeping.

The advantage, if you get rear ended and are sleeping in the bedroom area, you get a few feet of cushioning before you get crunched.

Here is the text from the ad:
