    But seriously, your house noy only looks and feels perfect in every way but it is inspirational, that makes it a piece of art, does it not?
    I have had a look at my fair share of tiny homes/van builds/ mobile, schoolie, stealthy places to sleep over the past few years and this house on wheels has been properly thought out. One could live in your for ever and never miss or want for anything. . . .

      Durable, not powerful for sure. Driven a few commercial 7.3's (different than the ones in pickups) and can't say I was ever quick getting anywhere. Since he has a top speed of 55, if he really likes that thing he could always swap in a diesel and trans from any of the light duty trucks from the big 3. Every 3/4 ton diesel truck makes close to a 1000ft lbs and 450hp now with a minimum of 6 forward gears, would really change how driving that thing around feels. Would be effortless and cruise at 80mph with no problem.

    That's one of the best ladders I've seen. Good size and really sturdy. But its "plumb" when citing vertical compliance not "level" which is used with horizontal compliance. But the distance from the bus is great. Usually the ladders are so close i don't know how anyone can climb it!!! Bet it can handle lots of weight.

    Very very cool it very much reminds me of like a steampunk theme but you also have lots of wood incorporated as well I love it

    Would be seriously interested in buying if you're trying to sell . The quality of the build and the thought that went into it is just amazing.

    Nice you left the Thomas tag on it. I knew a guy who worked at the factory. Very well made busses.
