Re: 1997 bus for sale, partially converted

I had a buyer for this bus, but after 6 weeks of continuous delays ("I'll come pick it up next weekend"), the buyer has dropped out of contact entirely.

I am relisting this on eBay, this time with...

Re: 1997 bus for sale, partially converted

I answered your question on eBay already, but I'll repeat it here:

I'm not sure how well the walls and ceiling are insulated. There was fiberglass insulation in the space above the windshield and...

Re: 1997 bus for sale, partially converted

Economic reasons is only part of why I'm selling the bus. I'm going to be moving across the country in a couple months (NY to AZ), and I will not have any place to store or work on it, or much free...

1997 bus for sale, partially converted [SOLD]

Edit: This bus has been sold.

A couple years ago I started reading about school bus conversions, and especially a lot of stuff on skoolie.net. I like the idea of a bus conversion, and last year, I...

Re: what is a good way to heat bus

A couple other options that I don't think have been mentioned yet:

You can get a diesel powered hot water heater that both provides hot water for sink/shower and also for circulating through...

Re: Design Programs?

You might look into Google SketchUp (https://sketchup.google.com/). It may be more complex than you're looking for since it's used to make designs in 3D rather than floor plans, but it's pretty easy...

Re: Going to look at buses on Friday

No apologizes are necessary, really! I've used message boards long enough to understand that no one owns threads, and that going off topic is the normal state of things. And you know what? I'm not...

Re: Going to look at buses on Friday

The alternator in my bus is reportedly repaired now. They replaced the voltage regulator and the brushes, and are charging me an entire $45 for the repair. I didn't know that anyone repaired...

Re: Jacuzzi Bus V

Do you really think you can finish the conversion in a single month? I've read that people often end up taking one or two years to complete (more or less) a conversion. I know you've done this a...

Re: Going to look at buses on Friday

Well, I'm glad that I decided to pay to have the bus delivered. The driver delivering it got 40 miles down the road, then discovered that the alternator is stuck on full output. He figures there's...

Re: Going to look at buses on Friday

It took a couple of weeks, but I finally went to look at the second bus on Thursday last week. Vermont is a long way from Utah.

Unlike the first bus I looked at, this one was all ready to be...

Re: Going to look at buses on Friday

I think the price is low, because this is a place that doesn't usually deal in buses. Their inventory consists mostly of large trucks and construction equipment. The guy I talked to on the phone...

Re: Question about air brake endorsement in Washington

If the bus is titled as an RV, the following site may be of interest: https://changingears.com/rv-sec-state-rv-license.shtml. It doesn't address air brakes, but it does show which states need special...

Re: Going to look at buses on Friday

I bet you're right. I probably just misheard what he said.

One thing I forgot to mention, it does have a small leak in the exhaust. I'm told that this is no big deal to fix. Does that sound...

Re: Going to look at buses on Friday

Well, maybe it's for the best that this deal did not work out. I have a much better prospect now.

This is the bus that I'm now considering:
1997 with 98000 miles
flat nose, front engine, looks...

Re: Electrical system - does this schematic look right?

I sent an email to batterystuff.com, because they seem willing to answer general battery questions, not just thing specific to their products. This is the response I got:

Re: Electrical system - does this schematic look right?

Thanks again Redbear for the information. I still have some more reading to do before I'm confident in my understanding of the AC electrical system.

I do have one question regarding the DC system...

Re: Going to look at buses on Friday

Well, I made an offer, but was told "no deal" immediately. No counter offer or anything. The seller said that he can get $4500 for just the engine alone (Cummins 5.9). So I guess this is just a...

Re: Going to look at buses on Friday

Well, this was a bit of a disappointment. Quick summary: bus I looked at has a good engine, transmission, tires, and is in good condition. However, it's a bit shorter than I was looking for, and...

Re: Anyone have an idea of value for BB All American?

Congratulations on the new bus!

I'm hoping to find a bus that is pretty much identical to the one you just bought, so your experience makes a good reference point. I'm thinking that you got an...

Re: Going to look at buses on Friday

Thanks for the advice everyone.

To be clear, even if I find a bus I like tomorrow, I'm not planning on buying it the same day. Since I'm not very familiar with vehicle mechanics, I'd plan on...

Perfect, thanks! I'll have to either study those differences well, or else print out the pictures and bring them with me. Remembering to bring a flashlight is a great tip as well, though in a pinch...

Going to look at buses on Friday

I've gotten in touch with a place up in Idaho that has some buses for sale. I have almost no details about the buses, but I've been a bit bored lately, so a trip up to look at the inventory should...
