ThelazyFarmer Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 I am in the process of building a bus. I already have an HDT, and 5th wheel but I do a lot of off grid tent camping. Places where the big rig can't go. It's nothing fancy but it works. I just did the minimum required by the state of Nebraska to get my Mobile Home license plates. Added a 20k universal hitch to pull trailers. I have a roof top ac unit from an RV. I just haven't put it in yet. I only removed 7 seats to do the conversion. I wanted to leave as many seats as I can because I use the bus of Boy Scouts. It is imposable to get parents to bring their own kid to a campout. The bus saved lots of headaches. I have my bases covered. Yes, it is licensed Mobile home. I can transport anyone I want as long as I am not getting paid to do it. State farm doesn't care what the license plate says. A bus is a bus, so my insurance is personal use commercial. The first picture is what It looked like when I brought it home.

Jaydrvr Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 That's really awesome! Good on you for doing the good work that someone needs to do. Reminds me of another life when my kids were young and my late wife and I had energy. Thanks for your contribution. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescapes Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 Wow! A great multi-purpose rig that allows you to transport boys to campouts while also using it for your own adventures. Best of luck as you continue working on the build outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lappir Posted September 3 Report Share Posted September 3 Don't know how I missed the post back in January, but great job. I wonder if it was one of the Bluebird buses built in "Fairfield, IA."? That factory closed a few years ago. Is it a gas or diesel? Talked with someone a long time ago about the 7.3 Powerstroke motors they put in some. Have fun with it. I'm at the Methodist Cove RV park at Harland county lake for the next 9 days.

OT: That's a nice RV park, we stayed there a few years ago. If you need groceries check out Hogeland's in Alma. Nice little family owned grocery.
