Steve,
It looks like a door for sure.
Problem is that the windshield makes it almost uncomfortable to enter and
exit as the seat is too high.
Dennis Richardson of GMC RV told me that he was involved in a movie coach
Twister where they made the front windshield of plex glass and limited the
side curve and moved the side forward to overcome the limited space.

No windows, has rear and passenger doors (but no driver's??)

It looks to be a transmode.

Might be of use to someone wanting to something other that a motorhome.

To explain: With todays prices, there are many nice complete ready to use motorhomes for less that the cost of JUST the PARTS to make this one a motorhome. Unless you want something special or a "Larry" like rig.
<http://gmccoop.com/feature_coach.htm>

Interesting for the price.

First pic appears (to me) to be some sort of
emergency bail out door for the passenger.

I think the "Manny's" door is smaller than the Craig's
List door as well as being on the opposite side.
