Needing to buy
I have a youth outreach that I need to travel the U.S. and raise funds for some future projects coming up in 2020. In the past I have traveled, stayed at motels, hotels, etc but this time and from now on I want to travel on or off grid if need be and I’m looking for a dependable school bus conversion. I will be on the road for weeks on end so I am looking for one with beds, shower, toilet, generator, kitchen, heated, air condition, etc.
Also I am not against doing the conversion myself (with the help of some friends of course) if need be but I am at least looking for one that is mechanically sound and ready to tackle 1000’s of miles over the next year and a half. Also in a perfect world I would rather find one that most if not all the prep work has been done and I can get right into the conversion, and even some of the conversion. I don’t mean to sound spoiled and lazy but time is not my friend and I need to begin travelling by Nov 1 and therefore I don’t have a lot of time and resources to prep. Does anyone reading this post have or know of someone with a bus like this?

That's my point. What's your budget? What size do you want?

The projects I am raising funds for gets 100% of what I raise, none of it goes towards my personal needs. I need this bus to get on the road to raise the money.

Budget
I guess I could say it depends on what % needs yet to be completed. As little as I am able to pick one up for. I am non profit so I am somewhat limited but at the end of the day I will probably end up spending a min of $1000 a month for travel and probably twice that much in lodging.

I would read every craigslist - searchtempest.com, ebay, skoolie.net, and others to look until you find one.

I want to thank you for making these available. The prices are fair and I am sure will make nice travel homes for someone. Unfortunately they are a bit out of my league financially. I am looking more for a bus begun but not done or even one from out west without rust. Of course mine will probably never be as nice as one of these but who knows.
