You don't have to purchase new you can build it yourself.

I purchased a '86 seated coach and I am currently building it out to my floor plan.

There are a couple site that talk about doing your own conversion.

There is a link I at the bottom that show some progress shots.

I need to load some more picture up to the web site.

I am doing my own conversion because I did not like how most motorhome are already overloaded and they are bear to drive in a light wind. The coach handles great and I don't even know the car is back there. (I check the mirrors when turning just to make sure..)
