I haven't mastered posting pics here. We love our bus. We have 5 kids at home, 2 grand kids next door and I keep 1-2 of the other grand kids several days a week. That adds up to a full car when we go any where. We are 40 miles out in the sticks so a trip to town means I stock up. Even with our excursion I would run out of room before I finished grocery shopping. It doesn't happen with the bus.
We looked at vans and then the buses. They won hands down. Ours is an ex-hotel shuttle bus, so it has nice seats, no bench seats. Kids don't have to touch each other. It had the couch in the back, but we didn't want that. We had the company switched and had hanging bench seats put in the very back. When we sitting room we drop them and the back door isn't usable, but with 10 or less we have about 3 ft of storage room.
It is a one ton frame dually the stability is SOOO much better than a van. Tows our Outback even in the mountains of NM with no problem. It is a diesel. We have had ours a little over a year and 1/2. This size bus isn't terribly hard to park. I have friends that have 16 passenger vans, they like the bus much better. In fact it is on loan this week as our church group took a bus full back backing in NM this week.
