Mozy over there and take the complete tour of Hank's bus because I can't figure out how to get the pictures of the interior over to this post. I'd live in it. Well done, Hank.

8. Beautifully done.

Now that's a bus I can sleep with.

2. Nice conversion

My only quibble is that he should have made use of lighter materials where he could because all that heavy wood is going to kill his gas mileage. I think the window system is great. Back in the day, we'd mount curtains on springs over the windows and use those for privacy when we needed it.

4. No matter what, it does not get over 10 MPG.

I'd be surprised if it were 5-6.

How incredibly wasteful of Hank, no matter how cool the conversion.

That's my quibble.

5. Not me, although I do wonder what he's going to do come winter

because I didn't see a place for a pot bellied wood stove, the favorite heating system in the 60s and 70s. Living in a down jacket and hat and wrapped in a heavy comforter gets old fast.

11. Amen to that, Warpy - no one could do it here in Interior (or farther north) Alaska!

Even trailers are planted, heavily re-insulated, and usually boxed in a second time.

7. yup

Hell, I have an 1985 Fleetwood that get's 9 mph I don't use because it costs a hundred bucks just to think about driving it.

9. You drive it on to a wee chunk of rented land and

park it. And you live in it. Who needs to drive it. If the lease on the land tanks, you can move your bus and you still have a place to live.

3. That is Awesome!

Great find Skidmore!

6. I'm thinking by now Hank's bus smells of sweaty stinking feet...

sorta like provolone cheese.
