I have one! I've got a 1993 that we converted. Ive got a big block Chevy in mine. It's built for my wife and I to live and work and travel. Nice to meet you. How long is yours?

The guy I bought the bus from told me it's a 6.2 L diesel. From what I can tell it's the original engine with @ 80k miles. Still runs pretty good...but super slow

Cool. Yours is a shorter length and it looks like also a shorter wheelbase. I have a handicap door on mine. The bathroom is back in that corner on my bus.

What are your plans with it?

Plan is to make it a self-contained/off grid vehicle. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it by this summer��
