New From China Grove NC

Hi everyone my name is Cory and I’m new to the Skoolie page. I have a old beast bus it’s a 1988 Chevy S6000 with a 8.2 Detroit with a Allison AT545 . And yes I know everybody says it’s better for a boat anchor but it’s been a very good engine to me with no problems. It’s a 32 passenger 8 window mistress that takes all my money and free time. I’m sure just like everybody else’s.
But enough about me how is everybody else doing out there?

I did a forty footer with a roof raise, but lost energy and sold it after the roof raise. I was originally planning to live in it, but changed my mind.
I'm now into shorties. I like to use em as a daily driver.
Plan to make my current shorty a weekend camper.

I doubt it?
But it's probably about the same now?
Both are just basically annexed into the huge city the grew out there direction.
The NC China Grove is basically CHARLOTTE,NC
Mr.Bodiker can speak better/worse of the area if he wants.
Be safe and have fun
