MOTORHOME BUS EMERGENCY EXIT COMPLIANCE ?

I can't see why it would be any different to any other motor home such as Winnebago etc. If you have seen others with the rear window reclad, then they have obviously passed any test required for registration requirements.
Maybe for peace of mind, you should contact the relevant authority for a definitive answer, rather than rely on unqualified forum advice.

Hi Guys,
Have you considered leaving the emergency window in place and just cover it up with a curtain/ blind. Most conversions I've seen have the main bed space at the rear.

Of course this won't work if that is where you wish to build the shower /toilet area.

Check with your State licencing authority and it may well be worth your while to check out the CMCA website, you may have to join CMCA but there may be benefits from being a member (Insurance etc).

Disco.

Maybe also ask yourself why the original legislation called for a fire/emergency exit at the rear, assuming the main door is 40' away at the front.

Mate,
you have just received the best answer of all from Greg Newell. You won't get better advice than from an ex RTA inspector.

So go sheet up the exit as you wanted to do, unless you are planning on carrying 30 odd paying punters.

These emergency exits allow for the window to be pushed out don't they ?
If that's the case, why not paint or vinyl clad the glass to screen it.

If you want something a little more permanent and secure, perhaps fix a sheet of colourbond directly to the window so the whole lot can be pushed out/removed if necessary ?

As someone said, it would be nice to have a way out if the need arose, regulations or not.

Thanks all for replying , I actually prefer to have another "exit", but by crikey, trying to pull the bloody window off with the two 'supplied ' handles didn't actually work, it was so hard [ I am a reasonably fit fella ] Had to take the infill strip out first on the out side[ How do you do that from the inside ? ] you see , the rubber had hardened and been painted over,
Ah well, start over again and make a new one. I really want to have an exit on a long bus [ what if the left hand door area got "bumped"or really got pushed out of functional shape ??
Thanks all,
