IN my opinion, this is a stupid idea. You have to decide what your hobby is- camping or building a camper. For the $30000 you say you will invest, you can buy a nice class C or a B+ and start camping that day. For me I don't want to camp in something that looks like do-better row, and an old ambulance or school bus converted into a camper just screams white trash.
Isn't a Bluebird Wanderlodge nothing more than a converted Bluebird school bus?
Isn't a Prevost nothing more than a bus converted into an RV?
Neither of those are whitetrashmobiles, IMO. In fact, "white trash" can't afford to buy either one!
As one who lived barely one short step above the "white trash" level when growing up (the house we built never did have siding, it was covered with 60 lb. felt paper; Yeah, a real "tarpaper shack"), I find the term offensive, bigoted, and elitist; right up there beside the dreaded "N-word".
X2...People here at times get the attitudes that if you can't afford to buy a Prevost Coach in cash, tipping the salesman 10%, and having enough left over to full-time for the rest of your life, you don't need to be camping in their campgrounds. They have the demeanor of someone who looks down on anyone who has an RV that is over 5 years old.
As I have stated here before...Good Sam is based on the Good Samaritan who helped someone he didn't know and owed nothing to simply because he was a decent human being...Some here forget that.
And for the comment about the old school bus? My parents had one, and we had people in new campers coming to see how he did it when we camped...So frankly, blow it out your tailpipe.
