elkhart In, theres a lot of RV / bus / commercial boneyards around that area it seems.. also a lot of good A/C pieces up that way.... the guys at ProAir hooked me up for my DEV bus on A/C stuff..

Doesn't Elkhart also have a few RV supplier's there to buy new?? if so since I work for a airline plus I get discounts on FedEx shipping do you think it would be worth making a trip back picking up a list of things & doing my own shipping?? I also have family just a few hrs from there so I wouldn't need to pay for hotel or car rental.

Plywood is in excellent shape along with the floor goo a just overlay it.
I really don't want to do anything to permanent due to not sure how this is going to work.
my friend who still technically owns the bus (long story he wanted it I found it and had to drive it home due to air brakes ) may finally make his decision. On letting it go. You have to understand there is a rally car/team involved. Which is why we went the bus route.

Negative on the straightline stuff. Road America. excellent road racing circuit. Sadly, the only person I ever raced with who was killed in a race was at Elkhart. Dumbass AMA official caused the crash.
