Buses with vertical weight bearing poles and dry fire shooting training commercials! Viva AZ!! Happy New Years Andrew!!! Viva Wayne also!! Great driving!
I have researched the bus / RV in great detail for 4 months. Prevost, MCI, big name RVs, seen a hundred videos, talked to converters, dealers, experts, sought the best advice. Fascinating topics, so much to learn. I was initially led to MCI E series by a top class converter, Bruce Coach in Salmon Arm, BC. And this video alone confirmed what Bruce always said to be true. Superb ride, the best there is, even over Prevost in most regards. He says the stainless steel chassis is better and stronger than Prevost. He should know, because been doing it since 1984 Well, you just made my day. I watched carefully your genuine reactions. Your face revealed the unspoken. Confirmed. E series. Nothing else. I've got 2 I'm looking at and will make a purchase this week. 1999 black (ugh) perfect maintenance, a detroit rebuilt test engine 60,000 kms on it, 50+ extra hp, retarder ,1m kms...Or a 2000 white (yay), 500,000 kms, but few logs and records. no retarder. been serviced and runs well, $5,000 less. tough choice. The plan: Roof raise by 10", 2 maybe 3 slide outs. solar system, lifeph4 battery system small backup genset which will hardly be used because of the 1300 watt solar / electric system, light weight transformation, extra insulation, soundproof throughout. Interior based on Bruces finest creation 15 years ago but simplified where possible. 1-2 years to fully convert. This video nailed the choice for good. Thanks
Bus with pre-installed pole, that is the selling point for me! I am personally a pole dancer (intermediate level), so if I had the opportunity, I would immediately buy it. I would still reconfigure the interior, so it’s an RV layout, but obviously keep the pole.
This model or the EL model are my dream bud conversion to own one day I’m tired of driving my family around in 15 gmc Yukon something always seems to give out going out of town i think next year it’s time to find me my MCI. Keep up the awesome videos
When the bus have an major failure, forced to stop and then locks the brakes, but you are not in a safe place to stop like in the middle of the road, you can temporarily releasing the brakes and move the bus to the side of the road or off the road safely using the green emergency brake release.
Thanks for the MCI content Andrew. Big shout out to Wayne for allowing you the opportunity. MCI is sorta like BF Goodrich. "We're the other guys...Remember." That's why I like my Wanderlodge. It's "The other guy."
@bob bobber My 2006 450 Lxi has 3 slides, a 525 HP Cat, 20 KW generator, hydronic heating, all steel welded construction, and 4-15K AC/heat pumps. If that's blah so be it.
Gorgeous. This is ready to go for a family like that gentleman is fixing that other one to work with his jet and travels. You could even eliminate the accoutrements and deep clean it and get comfy pillows and blankets for the generations of family..it is the tour and drive around deal..
A little short on the cupholder count for me, nice party bus though. Kyle should buy it and do high end party bus stuff. 200$ an hour maybe. Another great vid Andrew and as always stay safe and give Sadie some love for me
I always thought the MCI 4500 would take off as an entertainer conversion chassis due to how popular they are in the seated market. I have seen quite a few 4500 entertainers, the MCI is a solid chassis to work with I like that dash wrap around feel, I personally don't like how plain my XLII dash is. If I could afford it I would have the electronic dash kit done...great content Andrew
The 2013 to present J45s, with their beautiful body lines and updated exterior LED lighting, would be an absolute head turner as an entertainer motorcoach. I drive the seated version for a company in Missouri and they turn heads all over the country, especially at night.
@@rocnnrollbus I agree, I live in the Show Me State as well (Go Chiefs!!). I have seen Arrow Stage Coaches out of our state that has some great looking seated coaches..and some entertainer XLII's like mine is (was surprised they had those). MCI makes a great looking coach
I talked tp a converter. Prevost makes custom shells with up to 4 side outs, flush mounted. and o a higher ceiling height. MCI does not. Engineering all done. It is quite complex, not that simple. New structural steel under the floor, anti twist frame, complex slide out nechanisms. Prevost took the risk and then marketed thei new product. Fair enough. MCI got out of it despite the engineering investment. To convert with slide outs and a raised ceiling is a big big task. lot of underground re inforcement needed. Not for the feint if heart.
Don't even go there. MCI , Prevost are Canadian made to worlds best standards, even over Mercedes. Parts are available, service the best, all shops know these drive trains and motors proven and can fix them fast, if needed. Not so with others. Run, dont walk from the idea.
Metal is more expensive and lasts forever, heavier, stronger, safer. ideal for commercial use. RVs are cost and weight conscious, short life span, many are throwaways. not commercial units. fall apart in an accident. A bus shell is 600k, maybe more.
Actually I found it informative. I wanted to see the reaction to the ride, the handling, the smoothness, the detailing. got my answers. It's not my bus but it confirmed the quality of the E series. And i go from there.
Very nice party bus. Thank Wayne for showing it. Thank you Andrew.
It has the same Engine Transmission combo as my Beautiful Country Coach. Thanks for another great video.
Another GREAT find ! Thanks Andrew for the video!
Another good looking MCI from Wayne. Thank you for the tour. Happy trails!

Happy New Years Andrew!!!
Viva Wayne also!! Great driving!

It would need some remodeling to be a motorhome but much better than starting from scratch!
man that's a nice ride thank you for sharing again..... definitely would have to get some power washing fluid😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
These interesting buses that Wayne ends up repping are great to watch. Make sure to tell him thanks for the access...from your YT watchers!
Yes they are! will do 🙏

Aweaome video! Awesome bus!
I may be biased though as I currently live in a 07 MCI E4500
Thanks for sharing!
Nice!!!
The exterior and interior colors make me bus-sick.

Andrew great entertainment coach who did the conversion on this , i hope there is a updated floorplan similar by with 2 half baths
The epitome of an entertainer bus for sure..lol..
Cool bus
Awesome party bus
If walls could talk 😂
hahahaha
Hello
Just out of curiosity no generator? Roof air ? Satellite? I might've skipped middle of video sorry if you talked about it.
It is a beautiful Motorcoach
Use that snap!!! Saves me time lol
it's almost complete to live in fulltime, If I could make the move i would
Andrew we need more live video's and Big Tony back haven't seen big guy I cry long time I cry!"
Love this video Andrew but 1 thing the commercials🤦🏽♂️ 👍👍👍 For your friend super cool guy!"

I have a 2005 J4500 Looks the same in size etc. None converted. I bought it to convert but I think I rather get something that complete.
The placement of the mirrors is similar to a class C Coach,,,,,Or a large pick up truck like an F450,,,
Any chance you can do a video on Prince’s Eagle bus? It’s coming up for sale, I’d love to see you do a walkthrough of that thing.
Do you know where it is listed?
Should have ran a black light through that thing.... Would have lit up like a Xmas tree
Party bus!
Somene is going to take a beating on that unit.
Would love to see some videos on Beaver products.
Coming soon!
The stripper pole was in the basement!
I bet it costs mega dollars for fuel at todays, or for that matter yesterdays prices to go anyplace, across the parking lot !!!!!
Why do we see mostly Prevost shells used by conversion companies and very few if any MCI shells?
ride quality and prestige points

Looks like an old Barona Casino bus
I could make it work! I’m only short $100k
Ever think of looking at a Vanhool bus to convert
Don't even go there. MCI , Prevost are Canadian made to worlds best standards, even over Mercedes. Parts are available, service the best, all shops know these drive trains and motors proven and can fix them fast, if needed. Not so with others.
Run, dont walk from the idea.
Can i buy the pole ??,....
I need one
How old is the price of this
why is it that bus roofs are metal and rv roofs are rubber or fiberglass in most cases ?
Metal is more expensive and lasts forever, heavier, stronger, safer. ideal for commercial use.
RVs are cost and weight conscious, short life span, many are throwaways. not commercial units. fall apart in an accident.
A bus shell is 600k, maybe more.
No wonder an iPhone costs $1200. Big shots gotta have their entertainment.
It's for when the little Chinese guys came over.......
It is nice but it does not have a shower.
How much, I'm deaf and clumsy couldn't hear if he said price. Thank you
$150k....
No shower???🤷♀️@ the price point 🤪
Hello
What's a stripper pole.....?
Staff
C12? May as well be C-4...
C13
This is an old men... where are the girls...???
I want a stripper poll in my RV too.
Lol
Don't know what happened but can not push like button on none of my channels
A stripper's pole....Perfect
So many RUclips videos have such awful music you have to turn it down to enjoy Watching them
Nice bus and utterly useless for the next couple of years
easy to remodel!
useless,no shower
Why did you waste your time with this?
Actually I found it informative. I wanted to see the reaction to the ride, the handling, the smoothness, the detailing. got my answers.
It's not my bus but it confirmed the quality of the E series. And i go from there.
Giving me stripper vibes lol
