Getting the family on the road!

[Schnlarb.doofens]

Hello,

I am new to the school bus conversion idea. I only recently stumbled across it when trying to find an RV that I could fit my family of 9 in. It appears that I would be safer transporting them in a skoolie.

Can anyone tell me where to start?

Can anyone tell me what type of engine and transmission combo I should be looking for?

We are planning on traveling all over the US and Canada. We don't want anything bigger than 60 pax. I think I want a later model for safety and reliability reasons. I would be willing to pay more up front for reliability.

Thanks in advance.
