Ok, so Janet and I have pretty much settled on buying a converting a 15 passenger shuttle bus.
It's bigger than a van yet more customizable than a small RV.
The one potential problem I'm seeing is that they all pretty much have huge windows running the entire length of the bus which I foresee being a pain when it comes to insulating, unless I insulate over the windows which I'd not sure would look very good.
So, I'm wondering how effective it would be if I just insulated around the windows, or if I should even bother with insulation at all. We won't be dealing with extreme temperatures for the most part. 70% of our trip won't have temps over 75 or below 45 and we'll only have 3 days below freezing and 2 of those we'll be indoors. Will we be better off spending the money elsewhere?
What are my best options?
Here are the average highs and lows for out trip and how many days in each range.
Average Low Temps
24 to 27 degrees = 3 Days
33 to 34 degrees = 3 Days
37 to 40 degrees = 32 Days
41 to 45 degrees = 66 Days
46 to 50 degrees = 120 Days
51 to 55 degrees = 84 Days
57 to 60 degrees = 32 Days
61 to 65 Degrees = 26 Days
Average High Temps
28 Degrees = 1 Day
47 Degrees = 1 Day
52 Degrees = 1 Day
61 to 65 Degrees = 36 days
66 to 70 Degrees = 65 Days
71 to 75 Degrees = 154 Days
76 to 80 Degrees = 52 Days
81 to 85 Degrees = 42 Days
86 to 90 Degrees = 14 Days
Average Overall Low = 49 degrees
Average Overall High = 74 degrees
Average Overall Humidity = 65%
Average Overall Altitude = 1521
