Currently on a long trip in an older (1990) class C. Pulling my car.
Ford E350 . Have had problems up the hills in and around the Rockies.
I am making changes to the rest of my trip to avoid Rockies in Colorado.
Am thinking of selling the C and getting a shuttle bus --converting it to a MH. There seem to be a lot in my area for sale.
I now know what I need and what I don't. I really don't need a lot.
Anyone tried this and how did it turn out?
What kind of mileage do these thing typically get? I do not plan to tow my car on the next trip.
It can be done, but many shuttle buses are incredibly-poorly built. A gasser will get 6-12MPG depending on engine, weight, speed, and terrain, a diesel (1995-2003 7.3 Ford) might top 15.
There are several shuttle bus conversions at
