Hey Oakland-
I don't know whether you noticed it or not but the first two units are the same unit, a Renegade.

Didn't realize Dynamax made a twin screw.

And what is up with Renegade and that purple upholstery and red carpet? I have seen so many like that, and in a 02?

At least it can be changed.

The s&s rig looks like it has stairs going to a loft upstairs and the picture showing the interior dining booth and barrel chairs looks like it was taken from the loft area.

Thats an interesting idea of the sleeping loft upstairs.

You don't need much headroom if you're lying down, maybe 24" or so, so you can sleep a lot more people with that idea.

Just crawl in, lie down and go to sleep.

All in all, not a bad rig, and not a bad price. A very practical layout. But ohhhhh, that screaming yellow paint job!

I made some inquiries on this one as it does look practical and the paint can always be changed.

The chassis has over 1,000,000 and it has been about a half million since the last engine recon.

I know these engines can go a long way but that seems a bit much.

Any comments on mileage guidelines for used Class 8 chassis for conversion?

Your about 1/2 the life of that engine recon, Iwould say it's go to 800,000. That seems like a lot of chassis miles, but if things have been taken care of it might be a different story
