Newbie in tn
Hi everyone my name is Jason and I've been researching sloppiest for about two months now. I'm in the process of deciding on which bus and size I plan on picking out for a family of 3. I'm looking forward to sharing my work with all the members on here. Thanks

Agreed. Very clean and low miles, but the price is still at least double compared to what I've seen in my 6 month search.

Ok so I looked around and found about 8, 6 window buses in north ga. I called and was talking with the seller and he said he had a 7 window with a handicap door on back, it has and air conditioner, but I'm not sure how well it is gonna workout in the skoolie setup. It has a dt466e and a md3060 transmission, I've read that this is a pretty good setup. I would defiantly appreciate any advice or comments you guys have. And it is a better price range.

So this is a pretty god bus was originally looking for a flat nose short bus. I like the idea of looking right at the road instead of at a hood.
