The right bus will speak to you. Jean and I knew Buster was the coach we wanted after 5 minutes inside it. We also got the same wonderful feeling when ever we were in it.
We only looked at a certain type of bus and eliminated all the others. In our case it was a non slide, XLV, IFS from a converter still in business....then we did the mechanical check list. It was very helpful that we knew approximate market prices before we went there. We bought from Marathon Florida...a very good experience ...however they have extremely high asking prices on the vehicles.

Good luck and enjoy the journey !!!
