Hello from Nebraska

[NebrRuss1]

Thanks for approving my application. I've been lurking here, and learning plenty from your bank of knowledge!

Currently have a 2006 IC Bus CE300, with pre-emissions DT466, 250HP, Allison 2500, Air Brakes, Air Ride. The body is 12 row, 276" wheelbase, 78" headroom. Our plans for this bus is mostly for traveling with family and pets. We'll not live in it, so our needs are somewhat different from other Skoolies.

So far, we've removed seats, installed vinyl plank flooring, and installed leather bucket seats (Suburban/Tahoe/Escalade) forward facing, for 12 passengers. That will take care of us, our kids, and grand kids. Fairly comfortable ride, still gets about 11mpg running 65, with a top speed of 83mph (5.29 gear ratio).

Plans for the back half of this bus include several bunk beds, davenport, refrigerator, microwave, etc. We have an Onan 7000 Marquis generator, and are making plans for probably two mini-splits for A/C.

Thanks in advance for your helpful insite that I'm sure I'll be asking for.
