We're making great progress on our conversion. Our plates are ready and we will apply for RV title in a few days.

We painted a message for google earth on the roof...



Any guesses what it says from this view?



Anyway... here goes the actual message...



You can almost read it if you stick your head up in the bubble skylight.

I should be able to spot our bus from any drone footage.

See everyone in Quartzite soon!

Love it! my buddy painted a Giant man "member" on top of another friend's Jeep. They ended up featuring it in an offroad magazine and had to Blurr out the images.... The friend did not even know it was there until it was printed....

What is your plan? Is it going to be a basic figure?

I definitely thought about copter cops. I can't go above 62 even downhill so I shouldn't be a problem for radar hopefully.

On our race car I just laid across the hood and we outlined in black and then painted clothes on the outline.

Awesome bus!! I'm looking for a similarly size short bus at the moment.

If you wouldn't mind, what are dimensions of the cabin area (back to driver seat)? I've had a tough time getting actual measurements (usually doing the 24" per window rule).

We have about 14 feet from drivers seat to back door roughly. I think it's around 23 feet to the nose of the bus.
