And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The school bus is the best "instant cabin" ever! Safety glass all around and if a tree falls on it, there is just a dent! Not so much with a "camper". Plus, you can install a wood burning stove!
Gerard would agree, but then say: "Enough with the exclamations!!".
if you are thinking of converting a bus, know these two things:
you can't get insurance for a school bus. if you insure it as a Class B ( church activity bus ) and you get in an accident, they don't have to pay up. school buses with the frame above the axle roll over wat too easy. insurers do not differentiate between these most common school buses and the much rarer low frame buses used for transporting athletes to sports events
if you break down lae enforcement will quite reasonably determine that a broken down bus is an attractive nuisance and have it towed to an impound yard. a wise bus owner will have a separate bank account with $5000 reserved for a tow, and a list of truckers with a flat bed big enough to haul it to where you can store it. Uh, dude, if I had $5000 more I would have bought a better bus
That’s what she said.
ReplyDeleteHad to giggle at that one.

Very good to see the Gerard reference; he is sorely missed.
DeleteIndeed. There's a big gaping hole in the web.
DeleteGot a friend who has a short bus camper conversion. Not as wide as you might think inside
ReplyDelete---bet that's a good dog (all dogs are). That floor needs improvement (I know-it ain't mine)
ReplyDeleteI like the floor.
ReplyDeleteVery comfortable !!
