Cruise at 6000' in a Converted School (KOOL) Bus 2 of 2

Here is part two of my bus conversion, a lot of waxing-on and waxing-off later. Took almost three months to do enough for the DMV's requirements - sink and stove(in cabinet), toilet, solar shower, blinds and curtains, sitting area, beds. Now I am free to create my ultimate many uses machine. Stay tuned to see the major reason I chose a large school bus to convert, besides the windows and KOOL factor. A few hints are the carring capacity, her nickname "Vintage Machines Mother Ship" VMMS for short, and the fact that everything in the rear 20'is removable and stowable (A transformer extraordinaire, as is the storyline in the SCRIBEWORX.NET novel Seven Skins, which evolves faster than my construction abilities):) Now its time, this summer, to make some new videos with my 4x4 van and high speed demon Fury. In the meantime - bus to my channel to see this school retiree when I drove her from TX to CA, and experience vintage machinery in action.

I like the stock look on my vehicles and people give me lots of room on the road - unless they notice the name, dark windows, or rear Jolly Roger...:)

Hi, I'm converting my kids bus that he and his friends are taking on a 3 year trip all across Latin America. How many gallons is your water tank? How long does it last you? He's got a 36 gallon and just will be using it for showering. Any recommendations?

[vintagemachines]

For that long a trip I would secure at least 10 more 5G water jugs in or under for drinking or cleaning as well as your 36G unit. You may end up in an area where the local water is questionable at best. My bus holds 10 gallons under the sink in 5g jugs and I stow as many extra 5G jugs as needed for a trip, but I have only gone for a week at a time in the bus or van so far without a reliable external water source. Also a solar shower bag works well and takes no space. Good luck S of equator :)
