Spartan makes a good chassis. Had friends with big Gulfstream Tourmasters who were quite happy with their coaches and the K2's underneath. But let's face it, they aren't a bus.

These coaches look:

- poorly built - don't look as insulated or strong as a Monaco let alone a Newell, Prevost or Bird. Lets face it, they're Jayco's - they made an OK tent trailer.
- built for show. They're being sold to people who don't know Jack about coaches.
- good from a distance. I doubt any of the wood is real. Likely wood grain vinyl that will peel in a year.

Of course, what's really left in the way of high end manufacturers outside of Newell and a few Prevost converters? Foretravel, Monaco, ... Most are gone.

A new Newell is easily $1.5 million or more and likely the same for a Bird if they were still made. Very few folks have that kind of coin.
