PERFECT BUS FOR CONVERSION, little to finish

this bus is at the university of Mo in Columbia Mo where I work and was used by our cancer center for mammograms. It has diesel power and a diesel generator that makes 20 KW of electricity, imagine the things you could do with that much power on hand. It has an ADA size bathroom that I think you could squeeze a shower in. It has RV instead of bus windows, no rub bars, a seperate entrance for the driver, a wheel chair lift, back up camera etc. All you would have to do is gut the rear and put in your bedroom and you are ready to hit the road. If you are not too handy mechanically but want to do a conversion this would be the ticket and I think it would be cost effective. I know the price is a little high but look at what you would save by having most of the conversion done already. The generator is probably worth that price alone new. I have nothing to gain in the sale of this bus but was excited when I saw it and the possabilities of a conversion without as much work as we usually put into our skoolies. This is a typical low entry price sweat equity vs higher entry price less labor more timely conversion. If I had it to do over again I think this would be the road I would take plus this bus would be worth a lot higher resale than one of our skoolie conversions. sportyrick

You could travel all over your state and do breast exams. That would be worth the purchase price.

It is a good deal, and with all the medical stuff one could become a doctor too!
Alas, I have my beast--and must figure out what to do with it. Diesel at 3.50 a gallon has me scratching my head.

That is a sweet vehicle. But a little pricey.
