Looking forward  to meeting you and your family and it doesn't matter what you show up in or stay in, or how long you stay as long as your there enjoying the rally and the other people there!

Welcome to the madness!   I have an Eagle that I've been using and working on for 10 years.  I'm about 80 miles north east in Morehead City.  I'll buy the Pepsi if we can get together.

Welcome!

Have fun and enjoy this new adventure. You won't regret diving into this crazy world we call "Bus Nuts". The name says it all!

Welcome to the lunacy, Seangie!

I am Steve, my wife Blanca. We are located really close to you, in this galaxy, if you want to come down. We are just 100 miles North West of Mexico City, Mexico.

     

There is no better gathering place on the web to learn about bus conversions than this one. It does not matter what question you have, there will be somebody with an answer for you.

This might be a great time to buy an already-converted bus, for those in the U. S., as the economy is producing many for sale at real good prices. And as has been said before on this thread, just make sure engine/mechanical/body structure are in great shape. There will usually be somebody from this list nearby to give your prospect bus a checkout and help you decide.

If you are traveling with the four kids, buses with a second bedroom are far less common. Ours will have a bunk room, plus the dinette-becomes-a-double-bed system, as we earnestly desire to to be able to travel with the most awesome grandkids in this galaxy from time to time.

And you also have the option on the road to home-school your kids. I never went to a regular school until sixth grade. I grew up in Oaxaca, southern Mexico, and my Mom was our school teacher.

So many nuts....so little time

Art - We will try to make it up there sometime in the next 6 months.  We love to travel to New Bern and your just an extra nights stay away taking 70 on the way back so I look forward to meeting you and seeing what you have done with your bus.

Oonrahnjay - I PM'd you.  Let me know if you got it.  We should be on a road trip in the next few weeks driving by your town and I'd love to see your bus.

Steve - My wife is begging me to go to Mexico.  Knowing someone down there will just be one more reason to drive south of the border in November and be sipping margaritas and eating Arroz Con Pollo, Tamales and some freshly caught fish tacos while they dig out of the snow in the northeast.  My kids are currently home schooled so that won't be an issue...Taking them on the road across this continent will be the best schooling they could get anywhere.  As far as the layout we will be pushing the Galley/Kitchen forward and creatively combining with the "living room".  We will have double bunks on each side of the bus and I am contemplating designing one set of bunks that possibly "slide up" during the day and using the space underneath them for some kind of desk/work area.

Thanks again to all of you!!!  Looking forward to getting corrupted with lunatics and justifying the insanity.
