The cockpit partition makes it seem even more airplane like. The blue LED lighting makes me nauseous. Confused

I wonder if they're selling the web site and business along with the coach.

And makes the dash air a capable component of the task at hand - cooling the cockpit occupants.

I agree on the use of neon. I suppose it fits for limos which are designed to impress in small doses, but are downright tacky if examined in the light of day.

The use of captains chairs in the dinette, also gives cred to the airplane theme.

I wonder how they executed the cockpit door. Roll up? I like it.

Hey Joe. Yeah, the door looks to be a roll up of some type. It could be that it's an aluminum/steel roll up security door. I wonder if there's a secret air marshal on board? Wink Or maybe it's an accordion mini-blind. Either way I like the idea of a secure cockpit!

This was interesting - the listing states
"Gmc moter homes"

How many do you think they're selling? Maybe that 49 large is for more than one.

The only thing that gives me pause about that roll up door is the ability to quickly exit in the event of crash or fire. Sure would hate to have it stick or jam at the worst of times...

I like the wall, it seems to give more places to put tv's and could be used for shelves and large tv. speakers, fans etc.

That cockpit would be a problem for me.It would mean my wife and 2 big dogs up front. If i locked them in back they would bark till the door was opened.

Something was bothering me about that ad, I kept going back to it. The view inside the rear window is photoshopped - it is a photo of the inside from the cockpit door looking back - the fridge, bathroom and door are on the left and the stove and counter is on the right...

http://images.craigslist.org/00Q0Q_7A1uixvJcrN_600x450.jpg

Who would do that in an ad?

The interior would be too dark to show up in a picture. So for the folks that are unfamiliar with the inside, that's the solution.
I never noticed it either.
