Talking Aspiring Skoolie

This is my intro to the forum. Names Dale and my wife and I have been dreaming of our bus for almost a year now. Going to look at an '93 International Carpenter DTA360 TONIGHT! So excited, hoping it is a good one, the price certainly is. Doing some last minute research on what to look for. All your prayers and good wishes are welcome. Hopefully, we can post some good news soon! Thanks for reading, Dale

Congrats!

It is a real rush to buy your first bus. Even though I had to drive 4 hours to get ours home it was heaven the whole time!
