I can see the benefit of the workshops and think they are great ideas, things like air brakes, electrical systems, etc would be helpful to many.  Tires and tire pressure and how to read a date code, any number of area's in the mechanical end of the bus, as for the interior I could see where it would be helpful to know what wire sizes should be used for what amperage or voltage settings, even the odd ball things like how to design a template to fit the ceiling to wall curve or how to read and work with the slope of the floor, all those things are going to come into play at some point when the actual conversion begins, I've seen a lot of people scratch their heads and try to figure out how to make a wall partition fit the ceiling and then get mad or frustrated when they finally get the perfect fit on the pattern and then move down 4 ft and guess what, it's changed lol.  Things like when to not use a 16d spike to hang Aunt Hildas picture on the outside wall, I can see the benefit for the workshops.

Hi Mike,

I can't participate since I no longer have a bus and the RV sits until my stimulus check comes but,.... if there was a place with enough room, I would love to see a bus rodeo to demonstrate and perhaps teach driving skills.

Maybe parallel parking or demonstrating how quickly one could back into a camp space and get leveled and hooked up.

FWIW
