Re: Diesel Dan's Skoolie

sdwarf36, you just gave me an idea. If I were to tow a trailer for extra WVO storage capacity, I could really extend my WVO-powered driving range. Of course, I'd have to tow a trailer, which I'd...

Re: Mark's 95 Carpenter International

You'r bus looks great, really clean looking and it looks as if it had always been that way - it looks like a factory made RV. I really like those white capitains chairs, very classy look.

Re: The Camel Conversion Project

I have a question going back to the original post, and your plans to put the Jeep in the rear garage.

I am building my bus with a small roll up door on the back so that the rear 2 meters can be...

Re: CDL

That would be the reason right there then ;)

I plan on using mine as a cube van/Tour Bus with dual duty as a family RV for when we go away. I'd also like to be able to take the kids on the road...

Re: CDL

I'm a licensed AZ driver (Tractor Trailer) in Ontario so I've been wondering what the difference is between registering the bus as an RV as opposed to just putting ' not for hire' on the door.

Re: Great White Buffalo - 92 BB All American RE

Could be a valid point if it were a commercial vehicle, but RV's aren't required or even wanted in scales/inspection stations.



In my experience they seldom know anything about, or won't say...

Re: Great White Buffalo - 92 BB All American RE

The bracket that you have made looks like it attaches your bumper to the frame or the body of the bus. If you pull into a weigh scale/inspection station this may be considered a serious violation in...

Re: ups batteries

UPS batteries actually don't last very long. They are made for use in a temperature controlled environment as well. That's not to say that you can't use them if you get a bunch of them thrown at you,...

Re: What kind of milleage do you get?

I don't really know what a mile or a gallon is, but I want to get 5Km/Litre of diesel out of my 72 passenger 444E - it looks to be about 12Miles per Gallon.

Re: Tourtech Bus - 1997 International 3800

Hey Grey,

I was going on the assumption that resistance is the same as a static load, so reducing the wind resistance increases fuel economy when you are rolling down the road. I'm also an AZ...
