Howdy, sort of new

I leave Iowa in 10 days in my partially converted 87 Thomas S1800 9.0L 5-speed manual transmission bus. Yes, I wanted an older bus with no electronics and a manual transmission.
I have 750 amps of solar, 400aH of batteries, 110 gallon water tanks and my propane stove, fridge and 2.5 cu ft freezer ready. Oh and a toilet and my bed. Nessities. I've had my bus since 2018 and bought it partially converted. I tore it all out and did it correctly. Then I started building. Tore it all out 3x. I'll be living and driving and building it. No more deconstruction!

Snowbird season doesn't officially begin until November

That being said I wish my rig was far enough along to get outta here before winter haha

Mine isn't even close to being done. I've got power, water, propane and my bed. Divorce and the lawyer bill kept getting bigger and bigger so I walked away with my bus, my dog and my pride in tact. Getting out before it gets cold.

That sounds like a winner of a game plan to me! You're still further along than me, haha. I have it half gutted, no windows, and am still trying to decide if I'm going to attempt a roof raise or not. Oh, and still have a pesky emissions sensor I need to replace to yet my warn engine light to to away. I'll be working on it in the snow this year. Next winter though... Phoenix bound!!
