Those things do look kind of cool though cabovers seem to be very out of style in the US market at the moment. The con's remain cab access, servicing, cab height among others. I would think a significant advantage in use in the RV world would be the manueverability in tight spots. Of course if you use a cabover you are really constructing sort of a midship powered bus with a detached cab of sorts. I think a cummins powered crown bus would be an easier starting point.
