LOL RT! Smile All I can say is, it's gotta look better in person! This bus takes glitz to the opposite extreme! Proof that beauty is only skin deep! Ha!

Worse yet, it doesn't look like the slide installer reinforced the bus body cut outs. I don't see any additional beams around the cutout, specifically at the bottom, unless it's cleverly hidden.

RE: Randy Travis's bus For Sale
guys, I have seen RT s other bus , I think dull and boring was his intention . At least he allows the driver access to the house in this one lol

can you imagine a guy who spends most of his time in a bus ? he is bound to go nuts once in a while Smile

Hate to say it, but the more I look at it the more I like it! Yikes, maybe I've been spending too much time in buses! I think it's a hickory interior with some cherry cabinet panels. I really like the floor pattern. Smile

RE: Randy Travis's bus For Sale
I really liked the closed off drivers area on our entertainer , when our girls were young . I could drive in peace and quiet while Erika dealt with all the noise hahaha

Not sure I could sit back there not being able to see where we were going Smile

RE: Randy Travis's bus For Sale
I believe I found the strengthening for the slide cutouts. As far as I can tell, there are no additional beams built around the cutouts. Instead, what they did was add radiused fillets to the corners of the basement compartment openings. Compare the left and right basement compartment openings on these pics. These fillets were no doubt influenced by Prevost's beam frame in their post 2007 coach chassis, but the end result doesn't come close to the strength added by the Prevost system. Here's what Prevost does, notice that Prevost has something of a minor c-channel dual frame rail going on too:
