Hello everyone, I'm finally posting. I picked up a 2000 Thomas 72 pass bus in the fall and have been lurking here ever since. I check this site almost everday. I am about to start my conversion ( I only removed 4 seats so far) and was curious how many people are from British Columbia on here. I would enjoy checking out someone else handiwork and sharing ideas. Actually even northern Washington or Southern Alberta would be cool. I have definetly been inspired by the work and dedication by the people on this forum. Once I showed my wife the site, she is actually excited to get started also. For now I'm building it for camping and racing, but my long term goal is to go fulltime. Well thats it for now, I'll post some pics soon. Thanks

Re: New to this

Thanks for the welcome, I just scooped an mid 80's "c" class motorhome for free (minus engine). Includes delivery. As far as we know, everything works. I figure this will be good place to start for a donor. As soon as I get everything here, i'll post pics. Cheers
