Hello 6ra3-ga: Some of the following suppliers/manufacturers don?t specify that their products are applicable for motor homes, but I found them via bus/RV/custom coach resources, such as ?Bus Related Bookmarks?: http://www.gumpydog.com/bus/bus_bookmarks.htm so they seemed applicable. However, most of the fixtures and generators listed here are specifically designed for motor homes.

I found that ?RV? ? which seems to be displacing ?motor home? as the generic term for this vehicle category ? was the keyword that brought up the most, and the most pertinent, hits. In contrast, search strings like "entertainer [or celebrity] AND 'tour bus' AND suppliers" brought up companies that rent -- or custom design and sell -- motor homes, but not suppliers of motor home fixtures.

Clarification of Answer by nancylynn-ga on 14 Aug 2005 15:15 PDT Hello again: My dear friend and colleague, Bobbie7-ga, very generously supplied me with this additional information, which should be of help to you. Walker Coach: "Walker Coach carries all generator sizes from 5 kW portables for under $500 up to 500 kW diesel industrial size units. Of course, most bus conversions use 8 to 12 kW diesel generators": http://www.walkercoach.com/generators.shtml At this page: http://www.walkercoach.com/plumbing.shtml Scroll down to "Toilets" category: "This is a subject not talked about in a great deal.

The biggest difference is that these toilets are extremely efficient with flush water. There are several companies now making these fine china toilets, such as Jabsco, Microphor, and Sealand": ------------------------------------------------------------- Bobbie also recommended Flojet and Jabsco toilets.
