New member and bus owner in Louisiana.
Just picked up my 03 Thomas from a private seller in MS. Two and half hour drive home went well with no issues other than it pulled to right pretty hard. Tire pressure maybe off idk yet. I feel like I got an awesome deal and he has a few more hes wanting 3 to 5k for. front engine and pushers.

thanks everyone. cummins 24 valve and md3060. 65 70 felt comfortable on the interstate and didnt feel like i needed a sixth, seems like it would want to down shift to 5 too often for every hill and i dont know that i want to take up above 70 anyways lol.

ill try to post a couple videos in the next few days. wont be in any hurry to convert to rv anytime soon though. we're finishing up a small renovation on a 26ft camper now and eventually put the camper stuff in ol blue. couldnt pass up this one since i had been looking for a couple months.
For those looking for a bus, my advice would be facebook market place. i moved my location around and found more buses like i wanted within 250 miles at fair prices than on any other auction site.

I don't have insurance yet but I did get it licensed and titled as a motor home through the Vermont hack. When I'm ready to do work to it or need to renew ill transfer to louisiana.

Go to title insurance..... In the forums then "how to immediately register as motor home.... " thread. It worked for me. Then you can insure it.
