Hello from Indiana

[tlbeck1985]

Been posting for a few days, I suppose I should do introduce myself to everyone. My name is Travis, this will be our first bus project. I did 6 years active duty, got out and went to school and worked for a few years doing different things. Now I'm a union electrician (apprentice) and looking forward to sharing and learning.

Our bus is an '88 Chevy with the 8.2L Detroit turd. She'll make do for now though. It's very low mileage and in excellent shape mechanically.

Sounds like you'll fit right in. Welcome.

Just so you're aware... Indiana is the RV surplus capital of the world. You should be able to find lots of stuff to help you along. Welcome!

If you can, try to find some flowers in a field. The ride game is STUCK!

I did not know that actually. Very glad to know it. Any suggestions on where to start?

Elkhart is the RV capital of the world.

Hello from an Okie turned Hoosier! And I just got my, er, our (my wife would frown on that...) bus today! I'm in the Indianapolis area.

[Robin97396]

I thought AZ was the RV capitol with the retirement community.

[cadillackid]

I think they build a bunch in elkhart... its also the place where many NISSAN NV vans get outfitted with A/C.. all my Road A/C parts for DEV came from elkhart..

Search for RV surplus Indiana. About 30 places pop up. Elkhart seems to have a few centralized.

Haha. I didn't see that when I posted. I was in Elkhart the day I picked up my bus. There were about 40 haul away driver's picking up RV's at the train station.

Here's a link to a map and list of the RV surplus sights that I know of.
