What amazes me is... How the hell did they get it registered, insured etc, all the while they aren't even residents!

That's what I want to know!

Well Crap! I sorted my Photobucket account into "albums" and it changed the image locations and now the links don't work. And this forum does not allow me to edit the posts so I can't fix it.

Here it is on Ex. Portal:

Awesome thread! Did you by any chance take interior dimensions of the bus? I've been trying to find dimensions on 5 window and 6 window shorties so I can start planning out a layout and decide which size works for me.

Thanks and good luck with the build!

Upthread, the OP said the interior is "like" 90" wide by 15' long, which I assume means he didn't measure to the exact inch - but it's a start for general planning.

I'm interested in 5- and 6-window shorties, too. OP, what is the ceiling height inside, the exterior width, and length of the bus from bumper to bumper?

TIA!

This bus has a raised deck so no wheelwells on the interior. Flat floor. Interior height is about 6'3". Exterior width is just under 8', LOA is 23ft. This is a 6-window.

Thank you!

What does LOA stand for? "Length Of A___" ???
