Slightly O/T (off topic)

Pete Papas's 35' 102" wide body GMC/RTS Bus Conversion for Sale
GMC M/H's BIG little Brother)

Hi All
I've owned a number of GMC M/H's over the years - about 8 years ago my Wife and I decided we needed something with a little more room. We always loved the innovative design and look of the GMC M/H. We stumbled upon the GMC RTS Transit bus - designed and built by many of the same folks that created the GMC M/H. In fact it was the follow-on project for most of the M/H group.
.
Like the GMC M/H, the RTS was absolutely unique - sleek, stylish, and of course looks like a bigger version of the GMC M/H. We found our RTS Bus, a retired San Bernadino OmniTRan 35' Wide Body - drove it 2000 miles back home to Florida and spent the next 8 years working to complete its conversion to a Motor Coach - It was a labor of LOVE !!
.
I had the great pleasure of being a speaker at the 2009 Spring GMC Internation Rally at Dothan AL. Many of you may have attended my presentation ->
"The RTS BUS - The GMC Motorhome's BIG little Brother"
.
But alas, my wife and I just don't use it enough anymore - We have decided to sell our RTS BUS CONVERSION

Someone is going to get a real beauty Pete. I just loved that when I
finally got an opportunity to see it at Dothan.
