    The RTS is a vastly underappreciated bus. Composite body, stainless steel frame, and built for hard city use. His coachbuilder did an outstanding job. That front door is awesome. It looks like it was built with it from the factory.

    What a stunning coach. Beautiful inside and out. Thank you for showing us, and thanks to the owner for sharing his experience. Definitely one of a kind, and absolutely beautiful.

    I will know for sure if we ever cross paths. I do have that TV rig in mine. Not too hard or expensive. I bet folks see it and say Prince isn't dead, he went RVing!!

      Purple Rain, purple rain. Great song. Good name for this bus too.

    Purple Haze. Beautiful bus. Thanks for the tour....just a slight note..a second mic would have been goods we could hear what the owner had to say.

  • @Erez84

    I have never slept in a bus let alone owned one but this coach inner desing and the way the rooms are layed out seems to me like an absolutly PERFECT place to live in.
    Beautiful!

  • @donmoore7785
    @donmoore7785 3 года назад +15

    OMG this is amazing. The first indication we didn't have an average bus was electric shades in the windshield. Then more and more and more. "Rainfall shower with built in lighting" - many would dream of this in their house! Very very nice. Much more than a purple bus. Must have cost a fortune, but look at the results.

  • @americanrambler4972
    @americanrambler4972 2 года назад +2

    Oh, this is a great looking coach. Very nicely done. Love the one piece front door. These have always been a well styled bus. When GM decides to do styling right, they get it fantastically right! Style wise, these buses were decades ahead of their time.

  • @2011joser
    @2011joser 3 года назад +9

    Started not liking the purple but the bus is so nicely laid out and of such high quality. It won me over. It’s the best conversion I’ve seen on the channel.

  • @MrDexcars
    @MrDexcars 3 года назад +4

    What a beautiful conversion I really love it and the colour is as he says very calming and love the hide away television who would have known that was there
    Best wishes from Derrick in Wales UK

  • @StressLessCamping
    @StressLessCamping 3 года назад +2

    Wowsers - even his broom was lavender/purple! The workmanship on this bus is really, really impressive. Like the color or not the caliber of the build is really impressive.

  • @DennisDuboisLifeview
    @DennisDuboisLifeview 3 года назад +2

    That is the most astonishing bus conversion I have ever seen. I love every aspect of it including the colour!

  • @sethtriggs
    @sethtriggs 3 года назад +3

    That bus is sick.
    I didn't even know such an RTS conversion existed. Love the color so much.

  • @jakem.6359
    @jakem.6359 3 года назад +3

    All I can say is WOW!! Never would have thought a city bus could look like this. Somebody spent some serious coin $$$

    • @donmoore7785
      @donmoore7785 3 года назад

      Yeah really - a city bus. Who would know?

  • @jeremymurphy7320
    @jeremymurphy7320 3 года назад +6

    I'm not a huge fan of purple, but I could definitely see myself in that bus on some really long trips. That is super sharp.
    And my wife loves Prince so she would probably be an easy sell

      I like purple, but it’s just too much, needs some kind of stripe to break it up.

  • @briandavis9975
    @briandavis9975 3 года назад +1

    Nice bus RTS busses are great for converting roughly 6' 10" head room 102" wide typically the same running gear as a hwy bus maybe a different gear set up
    But bullet proof if I ever build another one I'll do one Scott ask him where he got the TV lift I've been looking for one for years
    I saw the drive video yeah that wheel has seen better days . Thanks for sharing.

  • @christopherstory2136
    @christopherstory2136 Год назад

    Fabulous conversion.....the color is awesome! The fact that the RTS is contoured makes it all the more unique over all the other boxes on the road. Very European modern interior! Flawless in design and execution....one of the nicest conversion s I've ever seen...(nice to see an RTS find a new life. The MTA snapped most of ours....)

  • @mr.tomraypaz6085
    @mr.tomraypaz6085 3 года назад +1

    I remember the place I grew up had these RTS buses, until the late 90s. Disney World also had a fleet of these, with the last one being retired in 2010.

  • @ngtflyer
    @ngtflyer 3 года назад +1

    That's a fantastic bus, nice layout, BIG bathroom.. And he'll never not be able to find it! Though IMHO there's a little too much purple, but personal tastes and all that. Way cool bus that looks like a really nice place to be!

    • @uliwehner
      @uliwehner 3 года назад

      my first car was a 59 beetle, i painted it the stock black with the doors and quarters in light ivory. Whenever people asked me for a ride, not knowing what i drive, i would just tell them to stand next to my car when i leave, they always stood next to the right car!

    Really nice conversion but you need a guest microphone we can't here him for the most part

    • @stanpatterson5033
      @stanpatterson5033 3 года назад

      I heard him just fine, but that is not a bad idea. Other than wireless mics and having to mix audio, he might have been louder if he had been in front of the camera during the tour, but I think it came out okay with the camera leading the owner-narrator through the tour.

  • @JuhaLehtinen
    @JuhaLehtinen 3 года назад +16

    He is properly cool dude, so his bus is too. ✌️

  • @jamesfrench7299
    @jamesfrench7299 2 года назад

    I love it not just because it's an RTS bus with 6V71 and ZF transmission, but because it reminds me of a starship on wheels decked out like that. Something from my fantasies.
    Looks very secure and ultra comfortable. A living dream.

  • @Torsee
    @Torsee 3 года назад +1

    Bend in the wheel is from the former bus driver in the city! Rage at work!

    @davidrichman8468 3 года назад +1

    I drove them when I was a transit bus driver from 1988-2010 and we called them "RTS" rolling ton of sh!! They were hot in the front in the summer because of the front windshields generating the amount of heat in the winter, they were good for the winter because of the heat, they had 6v92t motors which were turned down to 50 mph and you were lucky to get 47 mph and 15-18 up any small hill, put the AC on you had to turn it off to go up a hill (after a lot of operators got tickets because they couldn't get it uphill, they turned them up and eventually they changed the blocking sheet so certain routes were no longer given a RTS so they could get up the hills with the bus)

    • @LuckyCharms777
      @LuckyCharms777 Год назад

      Wtf?! The cops gave a bus operator a ticket because the bus couldn’t make it up the hill?! How’s that the operators fault?

  • @davidwilliams7121
    @davidwilliams7121 3 года назад

    Great looking coach! Here in Canada, the RTS didn't fly, so GMDD came up with the GMC Classic which eventually replaced the New Look. GMDD produced the Classic until 1992 when it was taken over by MCI. In 1997, MCI became NovaBus, which produces their products out of the same former GMDD plant just outside of Montreal
