french familly road trip summer 2018

[iporip]

hello the skoolie's, we are a french familly with 3 kids ( 13,10 and 8 years old) and we plan to make a "road trip" starting from my sister place in long beach... the national parks, idaho where I lived in 1991 an where I have some friends.
Here in France we run our vehicules with vegetable oil since 2003. We planed to buy a school bus ( or RV but we like the idea of the skoolie ) with enough places for EACH to sleep easely, and try to run it with vegetable oil.
Therfore we look for engines built possibly before 2001 , even 1996 for some brands ( without electronic injection).
I have somme experince in veggie diesel cars since this years if somme people have questions.
We planed to buy a skoolie at the begginning of the summer 2018 ad sell it at the end ( september).
We are also open to rent a skoolie if there is the oportunity.
I went through a few parts of the forum and it looks like plenty of nice people and experiences.

sorry for my english that is quite old in my memory

Unless you have a ready supply of veggie oil I think you would be better off taking the money you would spend on the veggie conversion and just buy diesel fuel. Especially for a cross country trip.

do you have pictures of the kids beds ?

It is on our prevision, I red that the oil is getting rare in the US.
thanks for the tip

welcome to the group. You are going to have a blast. That is why we are building a bus ourselves!
