BUILDING SITE in Chandler AZ.

[Steve Gilworth]

Opinion Needed:

I've been offered a large plot of fenced in land, dirt. It was the shop space and storage lot at a racetrack right off I-10. Across the overpass from a Loves Truckstop. No covered parking, but the shop is air-conditioned, with plenty of light and bathrooms. I'm a van builder here in Phoenix, but my heart lives in a Schoolie. I'm thinking about setting up 2 workstations to be available to bus builders, with tools in the shop area, having basic material supplies (plywood,screws, etc.). I'm still trying to decide if this is a good idea or not. Your input would be appreciated. I haven't come up with pricing yet. Room for bus storage too. Thanks

Hi Steve, we're up North in Arizona off I-40 near Flagstaff. I definitely think there's a market for that. Check out the Cobbtown Acres location on Facebook or here: https://cobbtownacresllc.com/ They are pretty new and already often filled to capacity.

We looked into leasing the old Camping World building in Bellemont, just West of Flagstaff, which has 6 bays and has been vacant for a few years. But they want...drum roll...$30,000/month. So that's not happening! But we're actively looking up here. So, I think your vision could be viable.

What a great idea! I currently have my bus parked in my backyard but we have HOA so working on it is a no no sadly. I’ve been looking for somewhere I can move it so I can actually start on it and this sounds perfect!! definitely would help out a lot ppl that are in a similar situation!

How'd you far on making this into reality?
We have a project we're looking to knock out and she's currently residing in Gilbert.

I'm curious, too. I don't have an air conditioned shop, but I do have space for someone to work on a bus with power & water available. What sort of rates do people typically charge for this?

I think this is a great idea I'm a life long welder been welding for 25 years and I've always wanted to build my own skoolie and even help others with their own build if you start this up let me know maybe I can work there as a on site welder I can literally build anything you can think of from racks to framing the interior custom bumpers if you want to talk about it sometime my name is Brett Lacey 6232680271 you can text me I get a lot of spam calls so better to text first best of luck

Dead thread. The OP hasn’t responded in two years and only has one post.
