I’d like to have one of these to travel the US, and have as a base of operations on photo safaris. Would sure cut down on the hotel bills.

You fooled me with that title, Phil! I'm starting to catch up on posts that I missed over the past couple months and I thought this would be about the plant. Anyway somebody had a clever idea for naming their private bus. I suppose it would solve the problem of "what camera should I take?"-- you'd just take them all.

That's right, Bill. Every single one.
The Virginia Creeper name was also given to the N&W passenger service on a branch line in southwest Virginia, due to the many curves and grades that demanded low speed limits.

I had not noticed that it was for sale. Down here, this was a standard road bus model; I made many thousands of miles as a passenger in these buses.
As you say, an excellent base for expeditions if well fitted. Room inside for a full-blown wet darkroom and lots of gear.
