Greetings From CT
Good Day,
My wife and I are looking to go full time on the road in a few years. After bouncing around various van options, we happened upon the skoolie option. It intrigues us, but we have doubts. As a mechanical novice, I don't understand the drivetrain and chassis options as well as I (sort of) do for vans. At the moment I am liking a Ford Transit 350 HD. So any advice on whether a skoolie might work is welcome. If I were to get a bus, it would be mid-size, or a shuttle. Here are my questions for now:
General drivability vs a van - we intend to traverse US and Canada, including mountains and I don't understand the engines and transmissions
School bus vs shuttle
Reliability and service availability
Maintenance and cost of ownership
Towing - 3,000# enclosed trailer with motorcycles
Thanks,
Joe
