I was researching the cost of School Buses once used in the duty of hauling kids to school and these things are Cheap.
I was looking at a 31 Passenger Bus, with a Wheel Chair Lift to be exact awhile back for $16K, Diesel. I why thinking to myself why not buy a couple- proprietary RV Tanks, and weld a Frame to transport them behind the Rear wheel of one of these buses, Put you a make shift throne back in the corner of the RV, a Simple sink and you could really get into the Self Contained, Motorized RV game for dirt cheap. Your RV with your Motor Cycle Lift, Hum? The Possibilities are unlimited for the lift, to include getting rid of it for more cargo carrying capacity.
I have seen couple great bus DIY conversion videos on YouTube.
Sharing my thoughts for the Adventurous ones out there with DIY skills out there in internet land thinking, about that first purchase without killing your Finances.
The Carrying capacity on School Buses has to be up there, I would guess?
With what they are asking for Sticker Price on a Motor Homes for sale then look at the prices of these buses, a call to your closest Oil Field Welder buddy Laid Off, and Few trips to Home Depot or Lowes and PRESTO, a Affordable, DIY RV
Has anybody ever else thought School Bus Conversion?
I would guess that these cities serviced their Fleet of Vehicles regularly and maintained upkeep?
My guess also is they are built like a tank on the inside?
Would these buses need some type of modification as the accelerator is Governed, Throttled back when they are MFG for service?
Cut off Wheel, Welder and some square tubing.
I know nothing about motors other than I love to hear the scream of them, straight Pipes off the Turbos, Oil Field style.
Just throwing this thread out there to see if anybody chimes in on it.
