The wife and I are leaning heavily toward getting a bus and converting it to and RV. While a school bus has a lot going for it, at this point (I believe) we are leaning towards a shuttle bus for conversion ... for a variety of reasons. There appear to be a few shuttle bus folks around (not to mention most of you guys are pretty handy) and this is the best place I've found yet.
I was wondering if you might look at a video for a shuttle bus I have found for sale and offer me your thoughts as to whether it is worth following up on or what it might be worth.
But first, a bit of background, it is a 32 ft long Chevy C5500 based shuttle bus. It is a 2009 with ~183k miles and an 8.1 gas engine. Currently in Ohio. Claims to already be titled as an RV.
