I am so freakin jealous, I have a short bus that is going to be done in your floorplan except smaller. Auburn fan here though. Smitty, why no talk of BBQ?

Whered you mount your generator? A compartment will be on my list here shortly. Your bus looks good, let me know when you want to repaint, I have some orange and blue leftover.

Awesome bus! The interior seats are P-I-M-P.

Hey Man,

Great looking bus. Great job on the interior upgrades. The endzone seating that converts into a bed is the bomb.

I am new to Skoolie, but not to School Bus Tailgating. We've had our bus for 7 years now. We'll be coming up this weekend for our 4th trip to Columbia. If you would allow the opposing team in your vicinty, we'd love to walk over and check out your bus. I actually have a couple of generator questions for you. We have become friends with several opposing team busses. The LSU boys (http://www.unsupervised.org) were a blast this year. We're already planning a big time for them in Gainesville next year. Baton Rouge and Columbia are always on our list for road trips and then in the alternate years, Knoxville, and Tallahasse are a must. We tend to have a heck of a lot more fun on our road trips than we do for home games.

The FL/GA game in Jacksonville a couple of weeks ago was nuts. Parked the bus on Sunday before the game and some of the local guys tailgated all week. Actually have made a lot of Dawg friends over the years.

Anyway, would be good to meet up while we're in town. That is if you don't mind some friendly competition. Haven't had any luck in Knoxville. Mainly just had beer bottles thrown at us. I blasted them with the trian horn afterwards which made them throw more. Luckly, they missed the windows!

Nice bus swamp! Like to see more photos of it...

Downsouth, how deep are the cabinets on the overhead? Better to ask than to waste time I always say.
Also do you any 110v outlets in the bus? tks Putter

when you home from the game, sit back and have another cold one for me, as an Auburn fan, its looking good
at least for now, Auburn has their hands full with Kentucky

putterspitt · 11-23-2011, 09:03 PM

where did you get your rope lites? this is a cool conversion, thought it need to get up toward the front

putterspitt · 11-24-2011, 09:05 PM

you still have the other two lights?
good luck too, War Eagle, nothing would be greater than to.....

I don't peruse this section (Conversion Projects) that often so I didn't find your topic till now.

Awesome paint job. Like the window treatment (the tinting). I bet a lot of Gamecocks fans who see your rig love its name. Your bus has a different purpose than mine (which is to look like a fancy conversion school bus on the outside and a Winnebago on the inside). You've got the best dashboard treatment I've seen so far. Aesthetic drawback to most school buses is the stock instrument panel is austere at best and dog-ugly at worst.

Most of all, it's nice to see a DODGE on Skoolie.net. I've always been a fan of Dodge trucks and RVs and was elated when I saw "my" first Dodge school bus years ago.

Skunky Bus · 12-06-2011, 11:02 AM

I've seen three Dodges lately: one about the same year as yours with a Wayne body in Omaha, a 1968 with Superior coach about twenty miles away, and a 1971 with Carpenter body in Casey, Iowa, between here and Des Moines. I test-drove that one and liked it. The real deal-breaker was that it was too short to squeeeze my design into. Every once in a while one shows up on Craigslist (where I discovered the one in Casey) or eBay.

What electrical problems did you have? Good to have a heads-up.

Yeah, but now you can go to the Casino...

FYI...

The Gator Bus is now for sale too. Not knowing what some of these things have gone for, what do you guys think this is worth?

Is currently located in Jacksonville, FL.
