Pondering what size bus I'd eventually like to get. I also need to learn a little bit of Sketchup for work. So I thought I'd work up multiple skoolie layouts in different sizes to get both things...

The article says that she found a "45 foot gas guzzler"... but that looks like a very short bus to me, based on the picture in the article and the video. It's only got 5 windows.

Wiper arm linkage?

Anyone know where I can get new wiper arm linkage? The piece that goes through the sheet metal is showing its age. This is an 86 Thomas.

This bus has kind of made me want to...
