Presumably the back doors would open right up for cleaning?  It might be easier to clean than a lot of the other coops I've seen!

farmers used to use all sorts of old vehicles to house their chickens and goats - double decker buses were very common as chicken coops and we once bought one was all lined with teak mouldings, wall and floor  :D).
