comments?

Why don't they list the approximate mileage? Isn't that an important piece of information when selling a conversion?

For some reason the excalibur is not listed on NADA.

2002Kingsley...

this is as close as I see... without any additional options... I don't now about the standard vs optional equipment or even what is in it... in the range though..
Maybe just allowing some "wiggle room" for them...

It is a nice rig though.. just TOO nice for my wallet

Love the sewer hose out the side where they dumped on the ground.

Better watch your step.

5er - The Kingsley Excalibur was their name for their fully custom line. Anything goes in this line up. I know of several coaches in this line that cost over $600K.

Dutchman - Have you heard of Prevost? They typically only sleep two and cost well over $1M.

Mine is in this line but it was actually built prior to this name being used.

Mine is for sale by the way...asking $325K also. Mine is a 2005 with only 17K miles.

What happens with a Prevost depends strictly on what the converter does to it, as Prevost sells only the bare shell, or a complete passenger-seated bus, but NO conversions. There are many converters doing Prevost(or MCI, Eagle, GMC,etc.) bus shells, and will sleep from 1 to whatever you desire.......

With our new farm and our alpaca business we are just too busy to actually use it. I could not justify having it sit in my heated barn to be used 1-2 times a year. I do have plans for a new one that we will probably have built after we sell this one and after things settle down a bit here on the farm. The new one will have a lower garage that I can use for toys or alpacas depending upon which type of trip we are on. It will be built on a Volvo chassis as well (all new Kingsleys are). We are going to do a double dinette, one of which will slide out, in the front right behind the cab. We will also have 2 sets of bunks behind the bathroom on the way to the rear master bedroom. I would love to get it under way early next year but a lot of that depends upon when our old one sells.

I am well aware of the fact that Prevost only sells the shells to many conversion companies. I used their name since I did not want to single out any conversion company in particular.
