This is what my bus looks like outside. Hard to tell it's a motorhome!

With all those mirrors I reckon you're well on your way to building the first Mod bus. Now all you need is a parka, white socks and some two-tone on the stereo*

Lol. Standard mirrors for a school bus. It's not the best mirror system. I can't afford to buy the best system... yet...

Ahh, the days of my youth when skins v mods brawls occurred.

When I first started driving school buses in the late fifty's some of the old substitute buses had the right side mirror mounted on the front of the first passenger widow !!!

Yup. That is a stealthy setup right there.

Lots of hard work went into that, for sure.

I bought the bus is November 2014, used it as a moving truck to help a friend move house and started work on it in December 2014. It's all been done by myself on my own.

The story is here www.schoolbushome.blogspot.com

There are things I'd like to add such as a freshwater inlet. The toilet is currently a dry toilet. I'll have to see how that works out. There's no AC but there is powered ventilation and I have screens I can put in the windows.

For the moment I'm saying done and am sending off to get it retitled.

 Does dry toilet equal "Bucket"??  Do you live in bus?

Dry toilet is a bucket. The bucket has a liner and after use, cat lit is sprinkled on top to absorb moisture. That kills the smell.

I don't live in it yet but I am confident I can.

        If SC is similar to NC (and I think it is), you should have no trouble -- you have done what they require; cooking, sleeping, toilet and washing.  I don't know if you can just go into DMV, or whatever they call it in SC, and state you've done what qualifies as a conversion (called "housecar" on the title in NC, again, not sure of SC), or if you have to get an official inspection, but it should be OK.

        Paahka, paahka?? Why, ANORAK surely!!!  (Both the garment and in the larger sense.)  And don't forget, Zeph *is* a Brit so I have no doubt that he know exactly what you're talking about.

Cooking is going to be a microwave on the countertop or my little gas cooker on the countertop. The fridge goes underneath. I might have to put one in for any inspection. I have heard they get annoyed if the cookers not built in. On the other hand, what they're really looking for is that it's not a bus more than it is a motorhome.

No. Anoraks are worn solely by middle aged guys that run around railway stations copying down engine numbers.

I didn't know that - guess that increases the chance that 'Zephod' comes from Mr Beeblebrox, which would be cool (although he spelt it with an 'a')
