Two little points for anyone thinking of doing a schoolteacher conversion;
First and most importantly you need to know that not all school buses are created equally. In bus terms there are two types, ‘city’ and ‘county’. City buses are designed for stop & go in town driving, they are geared low. County buses are geared to cruise at 50 or 60 mph. A motorhome that screams at WOT to get anywhere is not a great ride.
Secondly the ‘attitude’ towards schoolers is primarily because most of them are not legal conversions. Anything that plugs into 120 volts with hardwired systems and / or plumbed propane must be certified as compliant with the relevant reg’s, no different than a S & B home does.
