Saw this on I-5 outside of Seattle...It was a church bus. Kinda funny because I don't think it even had a hitch. But it looked like a pretty good conversion.

If you have one of the heavier ones with a full floating rear axle the conversion is cake. Grab the DRW front hubs and get wheels and fenders for the back.

It most likely wasn't converted for towing, but for better stability. Google "15 passenger van rollover" and you'll see why. Those things flip at the drop of a hat.

Makes sense. Some big honkin wheel spacers would achieve the same thing.

What's the widest single tire axle combo you can put under there?
