This full size school bus was purchased in 2016 with all the ambitions of being a family RV. After chipping away at preparing to build her dream tiny home "skoolie", the owner became disabled and is unable to get into the bus.
Currently the bus is in perfect condition for someone to build it into an RV; an AirBnB, a food truck; a business vehicle for many types of businesses; a personal mobile storage unit or mobile office. The potential is limitless and the reliability is incredible as well. This bus only needs the fluids to be maintained and it will last for a couple decades at minimum. 
the original mileage is unknown. The owner has put over $12,500 in mechanical maintenance and new parts since she purchased it. All 6 tires are brand new, with less than 200 miles on them. 
The bus cranks up effortlessly and runs like a dream.
