still working through the mechanicals, while it was fleet maintained, it also sat for quite some time - but i expect that i should be able to eek out 15+ with it without any modifications. I plan on doing a boat tail with storage in it similar to Orbywan as well as wheel well covers, mirror delete, etc.

can't be worse than the 10 mpg i get now pulling my 19' with my durango.
Depending on the final drive ratio I would expect you could hit 15 mpg without issue.

Are you planning to change the entry door at all? I looked at busses but one of the reasons I ruled them out was they have the entry steps where a front passenger seat would be.


Have you worked out insurance yet? I have my ambulance insured with Progressive. They won't write a RV policy on a vehicle that used to be a bus.
