The deckers are very popular but be aware of low ceiling heights, not great for people much over 6 feet.

great bus, but have a good look at the suspension and frame, they can be prone to rust.martum_ace wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 6:56 pmam just running things through my head, I’m impressed with the kit and layout of the mega bus, looking at a vanhool tdx 29, Daf engined, any advice is very welcome

no, it will need a class 2, so your class 1 will cover it.martum_ace wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 6:57 pmthank you, I intend to take our fitter with me to view it, I drive trucks for a living, hopefully he will spot anything untoward, and there’s a choice of 7 all the same although I have my class 1 / c+e I would like to know if it could be driven on a car licence after seats are removed , any ideas?faul0ence wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 6:57 pmgreat bus, but have a good look at the suspension and frame, they can be prone to rust.martum_ace wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 6:56 pm

The deckers are all 4m height so very low internally on both decks. Mileages upto 2m kms average. We still run a 2012 Van Hool TD927 that’s done 1.7m km ex Megabus. Euro 5 unless the later 14 plate onwards (TDX). There were some sleeper ones recently advertised, which had a much lower seating capacity and therefore cheaper.

I think that’s the way I will go if it happens, the good thing about the sleepers is, I could virtually live in one straight from buying itPaulyer wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 7:10 pmKitchen and living room are mostly done. Bathroom being done at present then bedrooms will be finished.

No guaranteed, sleepers are usually over 12m long, hgv licence covers upto 12m, anything over requires a bus licence.faul0ence wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 6:58 pmno, it will need a class 2, so your class 1 will cover it.martum_ace wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 6:57 pmthank you, I intend to take our fitter with me to view it, I drive trucks for a living, hopefully he will spot anything untoward, and there’s a choice of 7 all the same although I have my class 1 / c+e I would like to know if it could be driven on a car licence after seats are removed , any ideas?
