Sure doubt that anyone would pay up to a million for a "wore out bus chassis". Many are built on NEW Prevost chassis and these are available often.....
Nobody said anything about paying a million dollars for a worn out chassis.
When I was at Pacific City RV park in Oregon there a group of old buses that had been converted to motorhome use. And they did look old and had many miles according to some of the owners. Some of these were old commercial buses at one time. Now I know that they are built so that they can last for so many miles. But I know being an old railroad mechanical supervisor that even locomotives wear out much less a bus chassis. Nothing lasts for ever and if you are going to restore a Prevost chassis that used to be in commercial use, it will take lots of money to get it converted.
Now I realize that you can buy the Prevost and then take it to a place where they specialize on conversions. Fact they used to have one right off highway 27 in Orlando Florida and another that I knew off was right here in Tehachapi, Ca. But you are going to pay some big bucks if you want a coach with few miles on it or brand new.
