You could cut the side and make a specific box for it while keeping it close to the axle. I will say that 900lbs is insane to load up the GVWR of the bus. Mine was a DKD7.5. I cut the floor and skirt...

I'll say that the two propane furnaces do a great job of heating this thing even when driving. Dash heat is dismal but to be expected with coolant hoses traveling some 44'. Heating hoses travel...

Wow, true experience there! My coach has dual pane windows except the windshield. It is all spray foam insulated so it can keep the temperature regulated. I am very familiar with Prevost and their...

Nice! I have since added another 30' of 6" concrete pad and a pit. Wish I had done it sooner when I was building that one. So many days crawling in the dirt and welding burns to prove it! I really...

I ended up buying two Furrion units that went uninstalled with the bus to the new owner. I don't think they had the Houghton units in stock. (Covid era) I have heard very good things about the...

The dash air was R12 and it was not like the super duper 2.0 liter Prevost type compressors. This was a 1985 Ford style auto compressor. It was dead and previous owner spent hundreds over his...

I'm not leaving you guys. I am the famous one for swinging a diesel generator into the side of my Skoolie with my bobcat fork lift! I think the price was right for the paint job. It is multi color...

Thanks guys! I just realized I never did update the paint process. They did a fantastic job at a total cost of 17k. They had it for a month and we picked it up last November. We spent our travel...

Nice work and professional as always! Is that Houghton as quiet as they say they are? I went with a single Dometic Penguin II in the center of the coach. The front and rear are the old Dometic split...

This is a Dometic 320 in my bus. Elongated toilet made for RV use. We love it. Throw in a 165 gallon waste tank and it makes our travels super comfortable.

I did in fact sell off the temporary bus wares to another local guy who was building a Skoolie. The company I used to come over and do the inspections no longer offers that service. You would have to...

Yes, there is an initial fee to set up the LLC. The issue with dropping the LLC, is you lose your Montana "address" and most if not all states are requiring you to keep your vehicles registered in...

He wouldn't have aluminum unless something was remodeled between 1970-1976. That is a common failure through daisy chained receptacles.

Having just sent in paperwork for my newell coach, I can say that even MT is wanting you to cross the T's and dot the I's. My AZ title said 'unknown' for model and MT would not accept it. They wanted...

My 2¢ on the renewal issue. For the most part, going through the VT titling was to get your bus setup as a MH. Once you got the title, you can just register it back in your home state as if you...
