How to transport non running bus conversion?
Yes, another one of those questions that I'm sure has been covered a million times, but I can't think of the proper keywords to use, thus I'm getting a ton of hits on people wanting to use the coach a...

At this point, I haven't really considered much of anything. I suspect that this is going to be one of those things that after much consideration, I will realize that it will be much more expensive to go this route just to be able to have a "cool vintage" coach.
Over the past few days I've gone from thinking about ways to making my 1/2 ton work better as a camper hauler + off road crawler hauler to realizing that regardless of what I'm doing, I'm basically just polishing cow droppings to thinking of medium duty trucks to dreaming about big ol' Class As and Bus conversions. The reality is that the typical class A is WELL beyond my current budget to get something that would fit my needs, and is merely a dream right now.
I started browsing Craigslist just to get an idea of some pricing, and found the GMC, to which began the gear turning, and how cool it would be to have a vintage coach pulling my vintage 4x4 around.
As for repairs on this particular coach, while the owner claims it's merely just head gaskets that are needed, I've bought enough broken vehicles over the years to know that what the owner claims, and what is reality, often is vastly different once the parts come off. Thus I'd rather take the time to go completely through everything drivetrain related before embarking on a trip that long, and I don't think that would be feasible to do when I still have to go to work on Monday :P
So that's why this is more of a "what if" scenario.
