Collins Bus Type A (2000-2015) dimensions
Collins Bus · Front engine · Legacy / used market · Planning estimate
Collins built Type A bodies under several names over the years, including Corbeil and Mid Bus, so the badge on the bus may not say Collins even when the body is theirs. At the longer end of the range you get real living length while keeping the easy handling of a cutaway. Interior width is still under 80 inches, so plan a lengthwise bed. These often turn up cheap because buyers overlook the smaller brands.
