    Welcome aboard. First thing that stuck out is your very wide peramiters on years. I wouldn't get one too old to do what u plan. Another thing if u r fulltiming combined with boondocking at a curb is I would stick to only OTR AC chassis. If the gen quits for whatever reason u could high idle with ac for as long as needed without any adverse effects to the engine besides killing the fuel mileage. Id also stay away from darker paint jobs and ceramic coat the roof right out of the box. Hs hold more fresh water but putting more to an xl is not that difficult.

    Personally I would not buy a camper with a toilet that is not enclosed in some manner allowing movement to and from when occupied. I am not full time but I've been in mine easily 4 or 5 year over the last 10. The 40 may also be really handy and often with what u r intending.

    I'm doing a couple new patients 1 in Fl in Oct. and OK. City in Nov. If I read these guys correctly they will have me going through both brakes and suspension. if u r still looking those invoices will be good info for u if u find a bus u like with little service history so u can make an offer accordingly.

    I may be interested in getting something expunged LOL just kidding

    2000 year is big changes for the XLs Absolutely drive both XL and XLII. The ride is no different but the cockpit changed a ton. The ride is also no different on h and xl but the cockpits r way different perspective sitting low on h. Drive all 3 XL XLII and H

    Customizing the living room to accommodate your work/lifestyle should be budgeted in short of getting real lucky finding something perfect. Might even pick one up discounted with livingroom "issues" u will prob need to customize that spot regardless.Thers some real user friendly ideas I've seen for work/ play elements that will make the experience worlds better. Bays too. Entertainment center versus File cabinets?

    We have a resident pogger Dave in OK City he still has a home but he does work and play like u r doing bet he'd be a big help for creature comfort user friendly suggestions. And costs too.. Dont hesitate to talk to him he would be happy to help im sure. He too got a nonslide.
