I don't think that even Michael Jordan could dunk that high!   How tall is it?  It looks awesome.  How about some interior shots too?  Keep up the good work!

Looking good! The Dina is a good looking bus to start with. Can't wait to see it finished!

[ruthi]

Thanks,Here are a couple of inside shots. We are going to run central air, so there will be a lot of insulation, and duct work. We are putting elec. heat strips in the floor. We will be in the bus most of the time, and want it to be as comfortable as possible. The bus we have now, hubby is always bumping his head of acs.

I guess only one pic posted, so here is another. I will post pics as it progresses.

It is around 12ft 6 right now, empty.

[Songman]

Yep, that is pretty tall. I am right at 12' with an 8" raise on my Eagle. How much was the raise? I don't know how tall a stock Dina is.

Thank you sharing your project's photos.

Looking great!

Does your Dina bus is rail frame chassis such as truck? If not, does it have "truss" (diagonals frame brace) type frame in walls?

Sojourn for Christ, Gerald

Truss frame. They added tubular framing every 2 ft to make it easier to build.

[ruthi]

We raised it 9 inches, and it will settle down a little when it is loaded. Also, you can adjust it down lower if needed. That is why we decided to leave the very front lower, for satelite.

Ruthi,   with the torsilatic suspension they all need to be the same in adjustment or that will cause you problems and a lot of cash later read your manual and adjust as recommended and I would not lower it anymore that what Dina specs suspension parts are expensive for Dina's and Eagles     Good luck

[ruthi]

Thanks for the info. We probably wont lower it unless necessesary. It will still be way under the limit.

[Jriddle]

Looks good.
I stood in my bus for hours on end contemplating if I should go to all that work.
I guess not having the guts and money won. I didn't raise mine.

This is one reason why this board should have a sticky project thread. It would be much easier to post in your own thread and keep posting as progression is made. It takes time to do a search and with your own thread people could find you easier! 

What say U Moderators!

Great work and would enjoy seeing your progress.

FWIW,

I have Project sections on both of the bus forums I operate. I think it is really helpful.
