Greetings
Hello,
Awesome site, my wife and I have been interested in traveling in a RV/bus for a few years now. We have decided to do a bus conversion, looking to purchase within the next month or so. We have three kids, 17, 15, and 5; we also have a very large dog and cat that will be along for our travels. For now , we want a camping vehicle for weekend and extended week trips, hoping to travel for a few months straight this upcoming fall/winter. We’re thinking of having a roof top tent for additional space for when we get to National Parks and BLM land.
We’ve been watching youtube videos of the conversion process and lifestyle, I’m hoping to build something like Jax Austin's "Dan the Van, just a tad bigger, thinking 34 passenger. Tried posting this earlier, realized I can't post links yet.
Looking forward to learning from everyone!
NH

You need only 5 posts to post link, but don't post whore to get there.

Yeah, we wouldn't want people just saying random things to get their post counts up. 
How about them Bears ???
Welcome. Be patient getting bus- read on engine/transmissions/brakes first so you speak the lingo. READ !!!!

Say what?
Recent conversations indicate 5 or 10 posts minimum before new member are able to post a link. It's a spam control issue and it works.

Not sure that it does a lot of posts( like this one) add very little to the bus knowledge and sure make the search function for specific information useless.
Onwards

No offence to you Nomadic. It was my post that was useless. Just the outside temperature that allows for more time being unproductive. I think my relative lack of exposure to social media makes me more aware that this site has a lot of activity about "what breakfast one had in the morning" Because it is hardly organized information is not easily accessed. So it gets repeated over and over. Probably that is good for the commercials?
end of rant.
good luck.

Funny to me that a guy who's only been on here a couple of weeks and is closing in on 300 posts would direct a newbie 'not to post whore'. Post what you want.....if it gets out of hand, I'm sure a real moderator will let you know.
Are your kids on board with this, or is it 'just another one of dad's crazy ideas'?

Hard to determine sarcasm in text, that's why the emogies are there.

Not at all, only a few. When someone agrees with you by using this , do you take it as sarcasm? When they reply  , do you think they didn't mean it?
Now if I was to say "Ya, I agree completely" and follow it with :roll eyes:, then you can assume it is sarcasm.
