I once had an old motor home with a P30 chassis. The load limit for it was only 2000 pounds. That includes passengers, fuel, water and cargo. After discovering this I did a little research and...

Why not just put your land up on AirBNB or some such site? I don't see a need to create a new network, unless it's to exclude non-skoolies.

Looks like the ad only had the one exterior photo. If you really want to sell it, put up lots of good quality interior and exterior photos (no grainy narrow cellphone photos).

Marine toilet.

I gotta admit, that's way less water than I was figuring. Will you set it up so that it dumps straight down into the black holding tank by gravity, or will it be pumped through hoses? If solid...

I think you'll find that a marine toilet uses more water than an RV toilet, because they're designed to use seawater and flush overboard when 3+ miles offshore. I'd also think twice before...

Re: Locutus' Skoolie Conversion: 1990 Crown Super Coach II

Well, 4 1/2 years after buying my bus and not getting much done besides removing the seats, I'm thinking about maybe selling it and going a different direction.

Reasons--
Too much work.
Too much...

Re: Journey Begins - 1988 Crown Conversion

Thanks Greg. Is the texture of Lizard Skin similar to the spray-on "orange peel" of interior house walls? If so it might actually look good on the ceiling of a bus.

Re: Journey Begins - 1988 Crown Conversion

Greg,
Can Lizard Skin be painted? (I'm wondering how it would look to apply it to a surface that would be exposed, and then paint over it, like the ceiling inside or the roof outside.)

Here's an Australian unit for both water and cabin heating that would cost about $1700 USD.

Re: towing with skoolie -

That's why I stated "check with manufacturer." Not every 5-speed vehicle can be towed 4 down.

Re: Generator questions

If you're just looking for a temporary solution until you can afford a new one, Craigslist is your friend. I picked up a Powermate 5000 watt gasoline genny with a Subaru engine for $35. Runs fine.
