Red face Hey There!

I'm James! I've recently been interested in doing this to a school bus! I'm looking to buy a 32 seater bus from my local school district. I'm 20 years old and myself and a couple friends, (8 of us all together) want to travel in this bus to go traveling around the States. I'm hoping this network can help me with issues and Ideas for all of us to travel and have fun on this trip! I'm kina hippie in the fact that I'd love to make it run efficeintly and also use solar and other eco friendly ways to power the extra stuff!

Welcome.

Best advise I can give is head on over to this thread and have a look. Guy around your age built a bus to suit the same needs.

He got one with a Cat engine and it cost him nothing but money. Just make sure to get one with a Cummins or a DT engine and you will be fine.

32 pax bus seems small for 8 people.
