I still have and use my bus. I haven't driven it in 5 years. It had new tires probably 3 years ago. I need to do maintainance:
1. A roof leak
2. Complete the brake lines
3. Run the engine and possibly change the fluids.
4. Rework the right wiper mount
5. Remove the upper rear camera that views vertically down. Now I have a camera above the back bumper, it's not needed.
6. Finish putting a solar maintainer on the driving batteries.
I put new batteries on the bus in December. It'snow mid March and I have still not started the engine nor topped the batteries up.
I''m using the bus more as a shed/workshop at the moment. Maybe if my YouTube technology channel takes off then I'll use the bus more. For the moment it's just sitting idle as a storage place/workshop.
Any second thoughts about all the advice you got in various forums about your project?
ReplyDeleteYes. Most of the "advice" was readily recognisable as nonsense. I am glad I followed things through my own way and did everything myself. Having said that, I would have been far, far better not getting a bus in the first place and getting a step van (which is what I originally wanted). Step vans have no windows and the windows are the biggest annoyance in a school bus.
