That kind of makes those sight obscuring 8' tall junk yard fences ineffective. That does explain why they send so many buses to south america. It wouldn't be that hard to exceed scrap value.
Wouldn't you like to crawl through there and extract some parts?

There's your testimonial as to the strength of school buses - they're stacked 4 and 5 high but the ones at the bottom aren't being flattened by the weight. Try that with a motorhome!

Merely being exposed to air seems to make them start to slowly crumble.

Funny you say that... My grandfather always owned an RV of one type or another, traded in for another one every ten years. He got the most use out of a Class B on a Chevy chassis, drove it to Alaska and back even. So when he traded it in, they did the deal and as he was leaving someone was on the roof of his trade-in and fell through the roof into the loft over the cab!

A junkyard I used to frequent had an interesting "backdoor" To get to the P30s you had to let them know you were there, walk about a mile around the outside down a traintrack, hop a barbed wire fence, then crawl up through the engine compartment of a P30 on top of another P30 then hop down out the back. Reverse to leave, with parts.

yeah just look at what happens to an RV when it crashes ... abnyone who drives I95 or I75 from or to south florida usually sees at least one smashed to bits..

i still rememebr seeing that video of a dfigure 8 school bus race where a little blue bird shortie must have rolled over 4 times and didnt crush...

then again the new school busses arent build as solid as the old ones.. esp the IC stuff.. look at the pics of the couple recent IC bus rollovers.. lots of smashed roofs...

Yeah that figure 8 racing is bus abuse, plain and simple. Let's start a society for the prevention of cruelty to buses. SPCB.

A decade or so ago our local sheriff was involved in one of those school bus figure 8 races. He somehow fell out of the bus while driving it and was run over and killed.
These races aren't good for anyone!

[Robin97396]

That's very sad.

...terrible...
This is why i chose the skoolie route: because the safety of my family is more important than granite countertops while i drive.

Sobering. Mercifully quick for the car's driver, but rough on the passenger and the bus driver. I would be distraught, too.

or.. you can have safety AND have granite countertops with a custom Skoolie conversion like you are building
