Re: the pusher impressions....

You say it cruises nice at 70, but what was the MPG? abysmal in comparison?

Friends of mine tell me their Allison auto trans in their pusher is CRAP...he complains in his Newmar Essex 500hp coach that NONE of the gears are really right....too many "over drives" and not enough "gears" to truly getting things rolling (basically it a dog off the line, and geared too tall on the interstate)....all this while achieving 6.5-7 mpg if he drives it like the throttle is a raw egg about to crack under even the slightest pressure.

I (too) often hear that conversions are never considered because they feel they give up some seating/living space to the cab - I think they don't realize the over (cab) sleeping or storage advantage/gain and I don't think people realize the cab seats swivel.

Additionally they don't know the advantage of air ride cockpit seating.
