Of course, I suggest you pull the trigger and accept that the first bus you buy won't be the only bus you buy. I see your first post was almost a year ago. Personally, I couldn't think about something I wanted to do for that long :)
(Sorry... off topic).
That's funny as I read about motorhomes for 7 yrs. before we bought. During that time, we rented a class C and two class A's. I didn't want to make a mistake as I always read to buy your third motorhome first as not to waste money making the wrong decision.
So, in January 2007, we ordered a 2008 Monaco Dynasty, 42, ft, 425 Cummins, 4 slides. We drove it happily for 7.5 yrs. and now are moving to our last coach that should last us 20 yrs. as we'll be in our 70's/early 80's by then.
I decided last year (2013) around May that I wanted to move up to a new coach and started my research. I knew it was going to be a Newell or a Prevost Chassis coach. Well, there are 5-6 Prevost converters with 3 of them doing most of the conversions. So, I had to read everything that I could get my hands on as I wanted to pick the right converter. We ordered in March of 2014.
The rest is history as after 7 months of converting, our new coach will be ready in two weeks.
But, no matter what price range that a person is looking, think how you are going to use the coach and consider all maintenance costs. Then have fun!
