Hmmm, the GVWR on my bus is 36,000 lbs yet I still got by with no inspection, though I was informed that to re-title (not re-register) it from bus to RV would require an inspection. I guess the...

There is nothing special about #1 and #2. Seriously overpriced. I wouldn't pay more than $1k for #2personally. Maybe $1,500 for number 1. #3 would be a consideration because, hey, its a Gillig....

I don't know anything specifically about your bus, but generally speaking it makes no sense to have a device that prevents the bus from starting due to low air pressure. The engine needs to run to...

I'd say your only option is to look at storage yards. They are all different. The RV lot where I keep mine is just a gigantic gravel parking lot. I never see anybody out there when I pick up my bus...
