the conversion done by Country Homes looked like that ... i don't know if they
nibbled a hole or just got the buses with sunroofs. you might check with them
and see if they put their names somewhere on the conversion (like a plaque
you could find).

one nice feature listed in the Country Homes brochure was that the interior
was removable ... so you could take the camper stuff out and use the bus as
a regular people mover during the week.
