Here we go again, ambulance build

Yes I know all these things but it's up to them. Although we all work out of the same yard, they do their own thing and I try not to get involved.

Only someone who has never converted a vehicle could say that Owen You still have to fit all the furniture, bathroom, heating, kitchen including the sink waste and clean water plus all the wiring. All units still will need scribing to the walls etc

I've converted 3, starting with a Bedford OB, Mercedes 609 and finishing with a Veiwmaster automatic.
What makes you think I don't know?

I have to admit, with the last one, I did have my own garage and workshop + electrician and mechanic.

With the others, strip out, put in ring mains of 24 & 230v, then start at the back with marine ply and work forward OR for the Pop-Work Coach conversions, go to a famous Swedish superstore.

After three or four, my company could do a conversation, or reconversion ( depending on what the client wanted) in about 2 days!

Simple as all the Continental Coaches already had toilet, coffee machine, fridge and TV/Videos!

And the need to pick routes with care.

Rarely a problem on main roads.

As I say, most was already there, all we needed to know was, the number of IKEA bunkbeds, rear lounge seats, tables and curtains.
Remember, when the groups got to Wembley or other venues, everything like showers, catering etc. were already there!

Hell, the guys with the group and numourous artic could convert a skating rink or football stadium into a concert venue seating thousands of fan in a few hours and then, after the show, put it all back into the trucks before travelling overnight to the next venue.
The joys of European Pop Tours are replaced by long hours and bloody hard work!

Ha! When I converted the OB, showers hadn't been invented!

I still do my own maintenance, not bad for an 80yr old!
