Bus Buying Checklist - advice wanted

[CorbettO]

I created a bus buying checklist of things to ask the seller. As you can see I am very weak on the electrical system. Please feel free to add/subtract from this list.
I am looking for a bus I can travel and live in full time. I plan to be parked for 2-4 weeks at a time.

Thanks,
CorbettO

Your list looks like you're looking for a completed conversion. What is your budget?

 

[CorbettO]

Before I go on the road, I want a full conversion (but no black tank system). I am finding different buses have some of what I am looking for. So the checklist is very long. I do not expect to find all of what I want. But I do want to gather the information from each bus ad that I see so I can compare them.

My budget for the whole thing is $20k with lots of sweat done by me and my friends. I want to get as much infrastructure (tanks, electric, etc) as possible in the bus I buy.
