Update for Big Lebuski conversion
Well it has been a slow start to our conversion or more percisely a remodeling of our 2000 Thomas Saf T Liner MVP ER. Managed to track down parts needed (starter solenoid for CAT 3126B engine, bulbs, and speed sensor for the allison mt643 transmission). Acquired the literature needed so that we can get our class b non cdl licenses here in illinois. As well as paperwork for us to get it registered as a RV. and tonight an insurance company called Roamly that covers professionally done and DIY skoolies for actually solid price. for the premium option for my wife and i $74.16 a month. a decent craftsman socket wrench set for doing some of the repairs I need to do before getting a DOT safety inspection. So now the main focus is get the mechanical repairs done. Then legal paperwork and licensing done while designing the new interior for our family of 5. the previous owners was a family of 3. they said that they didn't have any experience with construction and what not when they did it themselves. its not really too bad admittedly but it does need some work and there are a couple of things we are wanting to do with it such as solar power and plumbing. My wife finally picked a color for the outside. a flat burnt orange color. we are considering renaming our skoolie. Im thinking maybe Bevo (like the Univ of Texas longhorns mascot) if we are going to paint a burnt orange. anyways, its coming together at the least. Thankfully through a weird sense of events in my life i do have a little bit of experience with every area that is needed for this build. as well as a rolladex of buddies that are professionals that are willing to help me out as need be. So now its just a matter of money, time, and dedication to a plan's execution.
