New to Bus Life and Looking for the first BUS

Don't tell the wife! I expect it to be the first BUS not a Lifetime BUS. We shall see what happens though. I keep looking, and researching and it keeps leading me back to this forum, so I thought I would go ahead and sign up for it. So I can ask more pointed questions.


Thank you for having me.

Welcome!

First bus for sure, you never know when you'll be like "hmm, how about a new bus with these changes..."

Good luck,
Jim

Welcome to the site.

I found my bus in NC last year, that was rust free and ready to convert.

Good luck in your search, and post pics if/when you find something...

Haha, same here! I'm sorting thru everything so I don't make a misstep and repost something.

But, hey, if it happens it happens!

Welcome, check out:
craigslist
local auctions (VA for example, a lot of non-profits hold them)
wesellschoolbuses.com
https://www.lifeinabus.com/busconver...-a-school-bus/
ebay
https://www.skoolielivin.com/find-a-...us-to-convert/
https://www.nationalbus.com/default.aspx

If you want one cheap, government auctions are probably your best bet.

Kind Regards
