Help Find a Bus

[Joe Camper]

Luverbus when you ask what does he want to do. I think you are asking this.

The family has 3 very active boys and will be hard on anything they end up with ( I amost hesitate even putting them in that nice entertainer I found, that could be a travisty IMO that is possibly too nice of a bus for them  LOL) . I do not see this as a lifestyle change for these folks they will probably keep it for a while and loose intrest and move to something else. Maybe they will prove me wrong and keep it but they wont be fulltimers

  These folks are like family we love them and I say this stuff endeeringly.

They will undoubtably tail us around when they can using and abusing me whenever possible.

He is not mechanicly minded it has to be a bus that is original and pretty reliable nothing boogered up.

Where were you going with that story? Are you insinuating they may be dangerous behind the wheel??

You may know them better than you realize LOL

They love and protect their kids they will turn out like the rest of us I suspect

R Smith that thing is Beautiful a time capsule I wouldnt change a thing if it were mine. Very Very cool.

You are probably aware the thing was originally built for Wendys founder Dave

That pretty well lets him out on a late model with damage if you have to do all the work for him,I know of a 1990 model Vogue with fire damage in Neb

good luck

Joe, I sent you a message regarding a bus.

if $40k is his budget limit, I'd suggest not spending over $30k on whatever he gets - that way the first $10k in repairs/ upgrades won't hurt the budget so bad.

[Joe Camper]

Thanks for all the responces and e-mails we are getting togather this morning. I will return all those e-mails later I promise every one thanks again you all have wonderful campers.

Luverbus lets see the Vogue...........just what I need another project LOL

At 40k you can find what you want. At that budget you will have a lot of nice ones to choose from. It is foolish not to low-ball an offer, they are not selling and I think the market will get much worse, not better. Whatever your friend buys he needs to do his homework because as the market continues to shrink he will have it for a long, long time.

My bus has a queen bed cross-ways in the back and some bunks on the side. We find the children's favorite place to travel is lounging on the bed watching DVDs or playing video games. I started to make the back a convertible lounge but I am glad I didn't. It has been a while since I was a teen and I forgot that given the choice they prefer the bed to anything else. My 35' can sleep 10 if some are children. Three in the queen bed, three in the bunks on the one side, two on the dinette, two on the fold out couch. If they are my size it would be more like two on the queen, two in the bunks, one on the dinette, and two on the couch, with one bunk only big enough for a child. So that is seven adults and one child, still a lot of sleeping space. The best part is that the layout doesn't compromise livability. My PO lived near the ocean, and I think his use of space was influenced in part by boat interiors. When he built the bus in '79, he didn't have internet and BCM, so he used campers and boats as a reference. A well done interior makes all the difference.

Here's another http://www.rts-bus.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=628 . This is under 20,000 and I personally think it has the best body design of any bus out there! But Im kinda prejudice

And there is another super nice converted RTS for sale in the yahoo rts group. It is first class all the way! A guy that goes by Wulf did it.
