Yes they do..Good point that I had not considered. And I do plan on going into some back country (non-highway). "Give me them dirt roads any day! "

It's supposed to run. Guy said it needs a brake booster. Which I can replace myself. I might even steal one of my parts truck if it will interchange. But if the part is not really expensive new/rebuilt I will go towards the new part for sure. And I do plan to tow a trailer of tow dolly for my Toyota Camry. I will use the car to go back and forth to work. I have somewhat of an professional image to portray at work. Other than that I wouldn't give a darn.

This was after several years of researching boats and becoming interested in different ones until I found the right model— but not the actual boat.
When when one came up for sale nearby I went and saw it and knew it was exactly the right boat to buy. (then I had to pretend like I wasn’t too interested to avoid driving up the price!)

When you have mastered the market and your needs, when you see the right vehicle you will know it.

Is that what you’re feeling right now?  Or are you feeling desperate to buy something?

I'm desperate to get out of this TT before my old truck cant pull it anymore. Old girl is getting weak and slower up the small hills. I even reduced the weight (the amount of crap I was hauling by prob 700 lbs...not including the EX-GF.)

Tx, Gotsmart helped build out one and doesn’t have one. It was a 29 foot E450 Kansas City Transit bus. Cost was about 2300.

BLEEp is the bus owner, perhaps he can give you some pointers

GotSmart/ BLEEP-   What was the construction cost of the build? Not including gear,gadgets, accessories? Is Cammalu's estimate about right?   Do either of yall have the inside dimensions? This would be helpful in me planning the layout. I have been tempted to hop the city transit fence with a crow bar and tape measure to find out. LOL ..JJK

I believe his total cost was about $10 k including solar. 

Dimensions can be found online.
Compared to parenting, Cat herding is less complicated

On CRVL, there is a member named Almost There. She has a link in her signature to her build.  I was extremely impressed.
