Good day,
I have been lurking around for awhile. A few posts hear and there. I appreciate this groups patience and help with all the different questions that have been made by myself and others.
I started my Skoolie adventure last year in a 4 window, GMC Savana bus. Our family rides Moto Cross. We have previously adjusted the Savana to accommodate 3 bikes and the equipment needed for maintenance. Not much work put into her as she was just a starting point.
We cut her loose end of riding season last year. I searched for options and researched layouts all summer long. Using a pickup truck and small trailer all summer for the bikes stunk.
I finally did it. Although not the most popular of options, we went with a phenomenal deal on a Goshen coach on a gmc c5500 chassis. Duramax with a Allison. Our final design is very "open air" with minimal furnishings. We enjoy opening all the (four, 2 each side) large safety exit windows (3ftx3ft). We do plan on limited camping with some basics for living. (Solar, some water, cooktop, no bathroom) Security of the bikes (our count is up to 6 bikes for each race) , and having all the tools we need is first priority.
So I guess that's the quick version of how the Red Bus Racing rig came to be.
Again, I thank you all for the help you did not know you provided as I scrolled and searched all your posts.
I hope to be able to help any and all of you someday.
