Hi,
My Wife and I would like to being planning a skoolie project, but I have an infinite number of questions.
1) Which has more interior room, Saf-T liner rear engine?, or Front engine like international buses?
........I believe the dog noise bus's have the most floor space for any give length someone will correct me if I am wrong.
2)What kind of water heater and stove should we go with? (Electric or Propane?)
....... If you will be living RV park to RV park then either but any chance of going boon docking get everything in propane.
3) Does the plumbing and electric grid need to be certified by a professional?
..... No it's RV not a house.
4)Where should I look for a school bus for sale?
..... Govdeals your local school bus barn Midwest transit, shy away from craigslist and eBay, find one fresh off the route.
5)Are composting toilets any good?
..... What do you mean good? They are good that they allow you to not to have blackwater and needing to find a dump station or have sewage hookup. Not so good you have to be closer to your waste. I myself am going the saw dust toilet route simple and seems to work well.
6) We are planning a set up of solar and generator power, is this common?
.... Yes very, Again depends on going RV park to RV park or boon docking a bare min you would want a gen set. Boon docking yes then both.
7) What is the order of the build?, floor, walls, ceiling, electric, plumbing etc etc...
...... If you are going to rip out the celling, finish that first then the floor and then frame your side walls and int. walls run your plumbing and electrical then finish your walls.
Ok I'll post another thread with follow up questions
Thank you!
