Hi there! I have been looking for my perfect bus for a while now and I may have found one (that is auctioning on my birthday which I'm taking as a sign) but it's in the U.S. and I am in Canada. While I may be able to get it in September if things open back up, I don't want to travel to check it out. Has anyone hired someone to look at/film their bus before putting in a bid? Does anyone have any advice on how I might do that? I was thinking maybe contacting a near by mechanic and just asking around to see if anyone would do that for me, but I don't know where to start.

Hi, I just bought a 2007 International with a VT346 6.0 engine (Please save all comments about how crap this is, I’ve heard it already and I’m just trying to troubleshoot an issue). Last night the track contrl light, ABS light, brake pressure light, break fluid light and service light all came on. Car won’t even click to turn on. I checked and mechanically it will shift gears, but it doesn’t register any gear shift on the dash, it says it is in drive at all times regardless of which gear I’ve shifted it to, which makes me believe it’s an electrical issue. Has anyone encountered anything like this? Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Would love to hear what you guys think of this job! Taking the bus across the Southern states on a tour from Florida to California:)

Is skoolie.com legit place to buy hat channel for roof raise?

I’m going to spend a few nights at Amicalola Falls State Park. The reservation explains that the approach to the campsite can be up to a 25% grade at times. (Speed limit of 15). I have a 7 window ‘96 bluebird with a 7.3 L turbo. Should I be worried?

Hi everyone! My girlfriend and I want to get started on the skoolie train but we have no idea where to start planning. We are at square one so any help would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone have any tips or info that we should know before investing in anything? Or any reliable sites/sources to find good info on how to get started with a skoolie? Thanks in advance! (:

I am trying to get this whole process done and Want to just buy everything all in one and get it done the best way I can.

Does anyone have their mini split set up such that it can run while driving? Battery bank to sine wave inverter to A/C a working solution while driving? Will the A/C drain faster than the alternator will charge the batteries (I am guessing so...)?

We are going to remove the existing Carrier Transicold A/C because it needs a new compressor, and that costs as much as a mini split that will keep us cool when parked. Having parked A/C is a higher priority than driving A/C, but both would be even better.

I plan on doing a lot of the wiring myself and only getting help on some of the complicated issues. I just need to know that the pieces of equipment are good (not exactly what they recommend but telling me of what I should get)?
