Just be careful with the lift that you learn all the ins and outs of how it works and the power it draws. My 19 foot extended van was a public transit bus with lift. The reason I got it so cheap before it was to be scrapped is that the daycare for adults with disabilities could not get it to work properly even with a professional electrician trying to help them. Mine ran off of a second battery in the undercarriage battery box.
In my rig, my family helpers removed the lift and disconnected all lines going to it. But on a run to the auto parts store for other parts, the van suddenly refused to move from the store parking lot. The motor would turn over, but as soon as we put it in gear, the engine would shut down.
We tried everything and could not figure out the problem. We still have no idea what "thing" we did that finally released it, but it had to do with the safety backups wired into the lift system. It had been set up to NOT go into drive if the panel got a signal the lift was not properly stowed. Something got bumped is our guess when entering the store lot that made the safety system think the lift was "out."
My solution was to take the van to a shop specializing in computer and electrical diagnosis. I simply had them disable the whole complicated electrical panel for anything not going to running the engine.
I have the second battery set up to still charge off the running engine (along with the starter batttery), but that battery's output now goes only to my inverter inside.
Sorry for the long story, but wanted to illustrate the unseen safety checks built into some systems -- if you are out somewhere and cannot get your bus in gear... check everything having to do with that lift.
