Smile "New" kid here (86)

Just signed up to play here on the Forum. Wife and I have a bus conversion now (40' Greyhound). Too much to handle now and too costly to operate and maintain. Current use is added space for company.

I'm looking at a 23' bus right now. Freightliner chassis - with wheel chair lift. My reason for a bus:

1. Find it in Walmart parking lot
2. Neighbor has Parkinsons - may need lift to help in the future. Hope not.
3. Fun project.

Have an eye on what I've been looking for -- now to just get my ducks in a row and obtain insurance and I'll be all set.

Like the idea of searching here in Texas (or most any Southern State) as less chance of rust (most underframe rust is caused by snow removal "Salt".

Enough for now.
Stay safe.
