The Good News Bus

What an awesome conversion. To bad regular coach builders can't build such a coach, without charging a Million $$ for the same quality.

  • Using 2x4 for wall studs and framing has got to make that thing unbelievably heavy. It also seems a shame to go to all that work, but leave the original bus windows. Not only does it look tacky, but it can't provide much insulation. I would bet it is also noisy going down the road.
  • I hate to say it but I wasn't that impressed. Don't get me wrong... It's better than what I could probably do myself. Maybe there should be more pictures showing where the wardrobe is and the bathroom etc...

    The flooring is very nice but I wouldn't call the dinette area beautiful from the picture...

    I really like a lot of the skoolie conversions, I think my favorite in recent times was the one done by Neon Moon.
  • With a water supply and holding tanks and bath and kitchen and sleeping quarters it can be retitled as a RV.
  • I've seen some very well-upfitted skoolies (school bus conversions.) The only downside of those is because they are not RVIA certified, it is difficult to find a private campground that will take them, and insurance can be daunting as well, since they are insured as an old bus worth a couple grand, not a second home.
  • Nice looking conversion. Looks nicer than some of the manufactured rigs I've seen.
  • Also to consider it would have pretty standard parts, tires, etc. Neat.
