    I'm only a few minutes in but I've got questions:
    1. Insurance
    2. Matainance
    3. Parts! Aaahhhh crazy expensive
    I've thought of converting one because would be amazing!

      I had same questions. I’d also like to know how much it costs to fill up? How to did he learn to drive it? Did he have to get bus license? Just seems like it would be extremely costly to run but maybe it’s not since it’s running on solar. For a solar guy he really didn’t go into that too much and that’s where I have a lot of questions. I wanted more info on the solar. Plus why in the world hasn’t he switch to lithium batteries already? Is it bcz of costs or other reasons? Just left with lots of unanswered questions

      @@ittybittykittyrescue4843 same here... Lots of questions!!! 😅 I'm gonna have to follow them now!
      He said it had over 100 gallon tank. If you assume 100 gallons and diesel is at $5/per gallon, then it'll be $500 minimum to fill up. 😬 Yeah, those numbers are tough on my brain. Plus the engine maintenance is a point of concern for me. What if it blows up, even if I'm maintaining it? Then all that money spent on the conversion is wasted? 😭😭😭 My heart can't take that. But, that space in there!!! OMG!!! Buses are so darn amazing!!!! I wonder how many miles it had when they bought it?? 🤔 I just wish I knew more about those engines. 🥺

      You’re right about the top bunk with ZERO head space to lay, not sit up in the dark small space to play video games next to a big bright room for the parents. No signs that kids even live there until the bunk bed unfinished space. But thank goodness they have a dishwasher, ice maker, bathtub and a king bed. I really liked the bus until I saw the kids space.

With the length of the bus then another 20 ft give or take of a vehicle. Just turns alone must take some serious manuvering.

      Long towing vehicle with short towed vehicle difficult combo. Forget backing up. I would usually detach the towed vehicle, move both, reattach. Whatever you do, keep the drive axles on solid ground. Turning in tight quarters, envision the rear axles making the turn around any obstacles....I found 40' coaches more maneuverable than 45'.

    This is an amazing adventure. These buses are good living facilities now. Homes on wheels are great.

    Wow! What an amazing bus! I think it is cool that they have everything like you would have in a house except the toilet. Very cool setup.

    How do you deal with the fact that most states do Not allow 45' buses on secondary hwy's and rural roads. Only allowed on interstates only. I went the 45' route and finally sold it, got tired of the hassle and getting pulled over.

    A dishwasher saves water compared to hand washing. I think a large dishwasher uses like 5 gallons

    I may be wrong but I am sure your 12.7 Series 60 must have more hp. My 11.1 series 60 has 365 and about 1350 pounds of torque. its a 97/. Last of the 11.1 before they all the Prevost went to 12.7. Really cool bus and nice life you have.
