My experience is the other way round!

We have Scania P400(somethings) and MAN TGS 440's and the MANs are awesome. Smooth as silk and quite as a Roller!
Have no idea on reliability tho.
OTOH, the Kenny's and Argosy's at my other work a while back were dreadful things by comparison!

Earlier this week, I was asked to ferry a trailer to another depot, but using the Western Star(conventional) they have in the yard.
That was it, not to drive the W for the day, just this one shuttle job, then get back and into the normal routine for the day.
Now that was one monumental P.O.S! For a new truck, has to be the worst I've ever driven.

Good luck with the mobile home .. however it turns out

We already have two in the fleet one runs down south and the other runs north to your end of the world and dam good comfortable reliable trucks they are
Mate i`ve done my time running with the idiots of the night on Sesame st
So don`t care much for the crap that happens along there or the cowboys
Just something comfortable reliable and power to spare would be nice Id like it but i dont think it will happen , I was only dreaming out aloud

Been removing sign writing today, my fingers are rather sensitive now.

You only needed to remove one "e" and two "S"'s.

Then it would become a "crisp coach".

Nice looking unit Ian, same colour as mine was too


Does it have a full flat floor, and can I see the rear end raised (floor) ?

Sunken aisle Marcus, I can stand in the centre. There is a bit of ducting under the back row of seats, it shouldn't interfere with my plans. There will be a queen size bed covering all that guff.
I will have to sink the shower into the bins, forward of the drive.

Or a Crips coach.
That's a bit harsh.

Been a dream of mine for decades.....
