Let it be known that OP caused the great camper update plague of May 2017

I lost interest in the first episode of season 2.I was mainly watching it for capheus and his cast change ruined it for me
IvnWng
What??? Noooooo I'm finishing 1 now and I really liked the actor that plays him!
Thiburne
I thought he'd ruin it too for me. But the new guy is actually really good, even better than old Capheus imo!
Ohio
I liked the old guy better, but I do think the new guy is better for the direction they took the character.
3nd3rwiggin
Yeah, Capheus was my favorite so losing that actor was a blow, but the rest of the show is strong enough to keep me interested.

Yea. And I felt like the plot started to take a backseat to their "creative vision" - 10 minute segments with dancing and music... snore.

OP said $12000

sweet jesus - when all said and done, OP would have been better off buying an actual camper.
MoaConstrictor
Actual camper would be a lot more than that, though.
Rapola
Op (assuming not full of shit) easily has another 20k to drop and that's assuming this needs 0 mechanical (doubtful on a used tour bus).

They dont qctually have that much horsepower, atleast here in finland, but they have quite a bit of torgue and they dont really need the

Horses because afterall its a bus, its meant to cruise at a stable speed, and airbrakes are basically in every bus atleast over hete

Where did you conjure up a bus with a manual gearbox? Vast majority I've seen have an Allison automatic.
flatbrainactivist
Thats ridiculously expensive.

Considering new ones run up 200,000-800,000?
pizzabortionist
This is a dream of mine, and a manual is a must for me. I don't trust an automatic that heavy...
TlNYshark
Luckily busses with 5/7 speed manuals are common!
pizzabortionist
They are rare on eBay, which is close as I've come to pursuing this dream. Glad to hear they're more common IRL & look forward to the build!

AngryPizzaDeliveryGuy
Are you having it reclassfied for DOT purposes or do you already have a air brake certification and cdl?
TlNYshark
Busses don't require additional licensing unless you intend to carry more than 24 passengers. Otherwise airbrakes is all you need.

get 22 more people for a cross country party bus i got my class b with air breaks ILL DRIVE !!!

HaitianSensation
i'm assuming that requires a special license?
OneShot510
In the US you'd probably need a Class B license.
TlNYshark
Nope! You need an airbrakes qualification ($250ish in Canada) then you're good as long as it's registered as an RV

OP, just remember you might need a non-commercial class B license to legally drive this in some states
TlNYshark
If registered as an RV, all one needs is air brakes.
Manfredsinginson
Yup, can confirm. My band bought a bus and registered it as an RV.
7ofWine
Band name?
intashu
Which is a crazy and stupid loophole. Same vehicle registered as a diffrent type of vehicle.. Suddenly doesn't require a special license!
TlNYshark
Teb difference being that an RV might have 4 people in in and a bus can have 100
Qumefox
Depends on the state. Some states require a NC-B for anything over 26000lbs or 40'. And this bus is going to exceed that weight.
