Possible bus find. Advice please.

As for color, how about something girly, but also gypsy like? Maybe Teal with Purple striping? We'd all know it was you coming down the road!

I promise you will know when I am heading your way. You will be like "That has to be her driving that bus and she is definitely a little crazy" lol

My son suggested Lavender but it would be too much I think. I am not that girly, just like bright and cheery surroundings. I am considering Teal but I am really leaning towards Gun Metal Grey outside....and then something gypsy"ish" inside or beachy cause well....I do love the ocean .

How I imagine I will look living the bus life:

What I will look like in reality :

I'm glad to see the baseball bat in your shopping cart!  It's good to know that people take me seriously when I'm always warning them that this life can be dangerous and you need to be prepared!

I have been an optimistic paranoid person my whole life John! I am always prepared. My philosophy is "Prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse and you will be prepared for anything." Besides, you are not paranoid if they really are out to get you

BTW, I can't read the bumper sticker in your new avatar.  What's it say?

Maybe it's just me but nothing feels more comfortable than a Vardo van.
~It's all about what's on the inside ~

I love that one! I have seen it before. I also like this one because it's not as cluttered....

How about gun metal grey like the Mighty Mo from the movie Battle Ship for the ext. Then wood floors, white washed cabinets and walls and accent colors of sea glass. Blues, teals, greens and purple? A marine wood heater, small stainless sink with a waterfall faucet and and a big bed next to the back door so you can open it and stare at the ocean.

That's pretty much what I have planned color wise Kona. Waterfall faucet is an excellent idea!! Where are you located? I may need to hire you as my decorator

Man, I need to sell some more cars to pay for all this!! I am beyond excited about my bus!!

Hahaha! NorCal but plan to move to the Oregon coast some day. 

See if you have a contractor supply store around you. It's mostly leftovers from housing community builds I think so what you see is what you get at cut throat prices. If you like it, get it because it will be gone forever! You could easily upgrade your counter tops to granit or marble too. If you are lucky, you might find butcher block counters.

You mean like a Habitat For Humanity type place?

I have never been to Oregon and heading to the coast there is on my bucket list. We should caravan up there together sometime in our awesome vehicles . Love the box truck btw. Can't wait to see what all you do to it.

Can't remember what it's called but the habitat thing might work. Didn't think of that...

Wrong John, I don't have a rig yet. Just started thinking about this a few weeks ago but hope to do this someday.

Well then, that's going to put a damper on our caravan plans dude. Get a move on it (sorry, thought it was you who had the box truck).

 

[Konaexpress]

Not sure what I want to do. My RAV4 gets about 28mpg and I could build/pull a teardrop with no problems. But I like the idea of a van or mini bus too. That's why I'm lurking in the thread.

So......back on topic!

LOL! Now there will be three mini buses in the caravan?   Hahaha! My bus would be all wood chips/sawdust and tools.
