Who did the professional conversion? Where is the bus located?

[cadillackid]

45 grand and no Air-Conditioning???????

My offer would be serious, but nowhere near what you're dreaming of.
I would have to experience 10mpg to believe it. In the 05 C7 it wouldn't get better than 7.5@65mph.

Blue Ridge Conversions in NC did the conversion for us. The bus will be in Chicago and Austin in December and is available from either place. We are also open to delivery.

Where are the pics?

Nothing mentioned of the gutting and insulating either. Am I missing something here?

[Dick_46032]

The carpenter does good work, from what i have seen on you tube.. I think you found out, you got taken for a long ride around the mountain! 60 gallons is a weekend boon docking for 7 people. Bet the insulation is 1 inch foam board from Lowes! Strip the bus & fix it. Do not try to pass along your bad deal to a newbie... gut it and rebuild it! OR... Sell it cheap and move on.

You posted this in a free forum. Why would you not want people to comment on your advertisement?

[Gumaer Falls]

Just my opinion, I’d guess anyone actually getting what they “think” their bus is worth are probably in single digits. And if you did he work yourself, you’ll never recoup your time’s worth.

[Dick_46032]

There are a few videos on YouTube under the channels named (Sow the Land & Blue Ridge Conversions). I would guess that his bus might be in one of those? If you post pics, we can ??



Never trust a bus salesman who has beady eyes.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!



He is building bus's as a means to make lots of money. When profit is the objective, Corners will be cut! The Carpenters work and designs are first class. But the videos I saw, the foam was 1 inch foam board cut into pieces and stuck into the ceiling. The good thing is, they seem to have the skill sets needed to build a quality bus. But they are not being built for themselves to live in, like most skoolies are.


From what I have seen watching hundreds of Skoolie videos. Buyers should never trust the sellers of Skoolies! Most builders do not have a construction and fabrication background. And they 4-shure do not have the willingness to do the pre-bulld research.



Most conversions are being done by ametures, That is why they are for sale.

Part of the general decline in civilization is the increase of the blind thinking everything they own is gold. They are easily offended if you do not see the unicorn yourself.



It's not a coach. Its a converted school bus.



And there is no such thing as unicorns.

[EastCoastCB]

Pretty sure this is the bus-

actually its capitalism.. what something is worth is what someone will pay you for it... pure and simple.. and $$ is relative.. to someone who has a billion in the bank, 45k is minuscule.. to someone who has $6.32 in their bank account, even $450 is a Mountain of gold....



just because none of us here reading and commenting would pay the seller 45k for a skoolie.. (really 45k and no A/C?).. doenst mean someone wont pay them that or some other number even half that...



Like I keep going back to.. selling my old Eldorado convertible .. I got Great $$ on it because someone really wanted it..

I find that 99% of the time when a seller is not freely providing info they are hiding things and being deceptive.

[RoadsideJourney]

If this is the right bus, here is their instagram, they have a bus tour and photos in their stories: https://www.instagram.com/homemadeinchina/. It looks nice, and it does have the original bus ceiling.

It says it has sold. I wonder what they got for it.
