Bianco’s TS 30s are equipped with a Cummins ISB engine and Allison B300 transmission, in addition to favorite customer features such as 110V plugs with USB ports, REI audio/video, sun shades, woodgrain floor, rear window, and Alcoa aluminum wheels. In making the purchasing decision for the new vehicles, Bianco Tours owners Kent and Jill Bianco share that it was “the sharp turning radius, accessibility to mechanical components, and stability on the road” that helped turn their eyes to the TS 30. Now, they are able to offer their small group customers competitive rates without sacrificing the comfort and luxury of a larger coach.
“The midsize Temsa offered a unique solution to a market needing smaller, over-the-road coaches that the cutaway models could not meet,” adds the Biancos.
