My only concern with either is that they both have Chevy 366 gasoline truck engines.
From a longevity and mileage point of view, I'd rather see a diesel. That said, mileage will suck regardless.

They're truck engines, so they ought to be rugged enough. In the worst case, it blows in a few years, and you fix it. They're a really common engine, so there are parts galore out there.
Given the choice, I'd take diesel, but if they're not available, it doesn't really matter.

I agree. Diesel is going to run us significantly more, for something older. As for color, gotta be red. That pink one has septic. And a presidential suite. Those are things we'd have to add to the black one. I'll bet we could get it for the same price. And it's 3 years newer.

Prefer diesel, but like discussed probably cost more and not seeing them. Wish we could rig a motor to run on our urine. We drink the beer, it flows in to the tank. We could keep that bus running forever! Sort of a perpetual motion equivalent. You get 20 to 30 guys on that thing and split gas, it will be worth it.

I would be worried more about an automatic transmission versus a manual. You can limp a gas motor for a lot of miles with regular miantenance. However, if an automatic transmission goes it goes. Your talking about a lot of work to get it back on the road. Just my $0.02.
Being a bus owner I would say be very wary of anything on the internet already converted. Generally there is a reason they are being sold and I have been on the bad end of what appeared to be a to good to be true sale. Here is a place you might want to check out - this is where we got our last RAGBRAI bus and it has been the only one that has lasted more than two years for us: http://www.midwesttransit.com/bus-searc ... sp?sort=9A
Lot of these are low miles and diesel - they are required in Kankakee to rotate out the bus in so many years. Now you will have to make some steps to convert it to an RV. We added an "ice chest" which is basically a cooler, a microwave, some running water and I can't remember what else but overall it was a good purchase I would do it again in a second.
Oh and if you want to use one soon, I happen to have one but I like to stay within a couple 100 miles of CR with it. I would be more than willing to work something out with the team and have a licensed CDL driver.
