Thank you.
I wanted 2 things when looking for a bus. 1) A Collins build for the interior height. 2) A 6 window with a side door for more access.
This particular bus has the 6.6l Duramax but I would have bought it if it had a gasser in it with comparable milage. The duramax is a PITA to work on due to it being crammed in a van engine bay. I'm not sure how the gasser is but most vehicles these days are not friendly to the avg shade tree mechanic.
My build is for camping/hunting trips. If I were to go full time in it I definitely would have stripped it down and insulated with spray foam. That expense didnt make sense in my case but I would find it very necessary for year round comfort.
Off the top of my head Frochevy and Peakbus' build threads were the ones I took particular interest to here. I also watched a ton of youtube builds.
