Re: GameRV conversion

Nice looking bus. And shelves I've enough books to fill those shelves! Maybe I should get a book mobile, too.
What type gaming do you mean? Console lan or computer maybe?

Re: GameRV conversion

Is it all LAN based or do you have internet in the bus?

Re: GameRV conversion

$150 per hour with 2 hour minimum. Discounts for parties longer than 2 hours. $500 for 5 hour event is $100 per hour. Also check out our site, gamerv.com and yes we are on Facebook. Anyone have suggestions for replacing the drivers seat?

Re: GameRV conversion

won't adjust back and forth. I found cable undone under seat but no idea where it goes. Seat is old and wifey said she thought it looked bad so I am jumping at the chance for a new seat. I don't know if I want to lay out a bunch of cash for motorized adjustments or air ride seat. Thoughts?

Re: GameRV conversion

thought there was a picture of it up here but i dont see it. think best would be to check the bolt pattern to the floor and try a big rig wrecking yard to check it out.

Re: GameRV conversion

Look for driver's seats out of conversion vans...they frequently will bolt right up. Make sure your seat has belts if the factory seat has them attatched!

Hi Gamer,
I might suggest trying to install a seat from a Lincoln Continental. I just drove a GMC 4108 with a Lincoln seat installed and it was extremely comfortable. The seat had the electric adjustment (I'm wondering how he worked around the 24 Volts on the bus).

BTW, I really like your Game RV conversion.
