Putting the skoolie up for sale, I got about 80% done with the conversion but too busy now to complete it. Lived in it for 7 months last year and it was a great rig, 5.9L Cummins is bulletproof and with the MT643 tranny you can tow 20k with it no problem. This combo is rare on busses typically you’ll find a AT545 which are cheap around town transmissions, 643 will get you cruising in the highway and towing.
Did all the boring stuff! Re-painted floor after patching all the holes, seat removal, repairs, re-caulking windows and oak framing and LOTS of insulation.
Really just needs the house electrical, any plumbing you might want and coving up the roof insulation. I have the bamboo slats I was planning to use, included if you would like them.
Set up is 60% living with the rear 40% set up as a shop/ storage space.
Finishes
– all oak framing (much better than the usual 2×4 setups you see) and maple plywood
