Hello !
I bought a shuttle bus to convert last year, but it was much too nice to tear-up. So I am listing the Thor Champion on ebay.
So, Today I bought the Bookmobile !!
She's a 2003 Bluebird Hi-top extended beast with the Cummins 5.9L pushing all that metal down the road. It already has the raised roof and a bathroom installed, so it isn't too far from being an RV in my state. Ad was sparse on details, but I'm sure there is a genset under there somewhere as it has a couple rooftop a/c units.
I added the bus pics to "my Garage", if you want to see it. The ad says it's 25 feet long, but no way is it that short- anybody with a keen eye know the length of this? 71 passenger? 84 passenger?
I should have inspected, but meh, what can go wrong?
No idea what to do with so many bookcases...
