I should clarify that we do not want a composting toilet for our bus for the long-run, therefore it wouldn't make sense to pay $1K plus shipping to get one just for now. I've spoken with our DMV, and...

We went out to look at the Black Bus yesterday and I offered a deposit to hold the bus pending a full mechanical inspection. While I didn't actually see his pregnant wife, I got a very honest vibe...

And we need to use the bus to move out, so we can't wait until we're back in America. Destination currently unknown, pending job...

It's been for sale for a little while, and he's recently dropped the price by about 30%. I think he just wants it gone. But with limited stock available, I'm antsy, you know? Like maybe other people...

I'm just worried that in the time it takes me to figure out how to get it inspected, someone else will buy it. I was hoping a deposit would hold it for us.

Had anyone ever put a deposit on a bus pending inspection? Stock is pretty limited in Alaska, and we're going to look at one tonight. My husband and I don't necessarily know how to inspect the bus,...

Old Yellow may have mixed pictures because they had several busses at one point. This is the last one, and is a 32 with the lift. (They bought a bunch at the last bus auction)

It's about an hour from me, and I'm wondering if...

You installed that directly on the old bus doors? Do you have a picture of how you did it? Security is a concern, as we will be using our bus to move to the Lower 48 with 2 kids.

Does this look decent?

There's not a lot of info in this ad, and I'm contacting the guy for more. He started at $6500 and is now down to $5200 (and please bear in mind that there is likely an Alaska markup for prices)....
