Intro

Hey there all

I’m Shana and today we bought a 2007 bluebird school bus for $250 we are so excited to build our new home in it!! I lived in a bus when I was young and it was not fun then but it will be now!!

Thanks Ross!
I brought Ruby home yesterday!
I am very blessed to have a neighbor who now retired used to work on this type of bus. So he has generously offered to teach me how to get some of the repair work done to make sure her mechanicals are all in good working order.
I say teach but it will be more telling me to do this and this then I do it.
I figure mechanical workings come first then any major body and frame work as we go through the entirety of the bus.
Am going to have to try and source a manual to see what all she was supposed to have, especially in regards to the electrical schematics. Once I get that sorted I can start finalizing my floor plan and start building her up!

Wow! $250! That is a steal!
I thought I had gotten a bargain at $2k! ��

Hello everyone! My name is Marlene. My husband and I are starting to look at a bus to convert. Have been thinking about this for a while. Looking at a bus next weekend. 2002 e450 7.3L powerstroke with 217k miles. They are asking $5000. Looking for what I need to look for when we look at it and if price is good. This is just coming out of the school district so no conversion of anything yet. Am heading to the forums to look for info.

However I'm out of state right now for a funeral I won't be back till Monday so if you're interested we can schedule an appointment and I can meet you in Winslow and I can take you out to the property to show it

Previous owner built it out in Florida drove it here to Arizona and I had it titled as a motorhome currently insured through farm bureaus full coverage including tow I believe I'm paying $800 a year I'd have to double check that, currently tagged and titled legally runs and drives 7.3 turbo diesel airbag rear suspension for a softer ride

5000 is about the average price and their fleet maintained so you should have a pretty good deal on bare bones depending on how you want to do your build that's where the money comes in The price of lumber right now is high and I know paint I have $300 worth of paint supplies in the garage portion of the bus right now and I'm probably going to have to spend another $300 All I got done is the bedroom The rest is wood stained dark brown from the previous owner
