School Bus bike hauler .
Danger4u2:
I chopped down the original school bus seat frame and built a frame for the seat. Then I welded the seat frame to what's left of the bus frame.
Seat installed, it's still removable. The passenger seat is better than the drivers seat, that must change.

Hey Danger,
The Bike Hauler RV Bus looks to becoming along quite nicely! 8-)
What a great Idea!

I've made some headway on the bus, 2 new batteries @ $150 each, removed the rear wheels-blasted them-had them powder coated glossy black then I had 4 new tires mounted at $1600. I chose a highway tread and it really cut down on the noise. The bus rides better with the new tires, the old tires were weather cracked and hard with more of a mud type tread. I've been using the bus when I go riding, so far about 5 trips to the local riding area 40 miles round trip. I want to find any problems locally so I can deal with them at the shop, not on the road half way to St. Anthony's. Planning a ride about 1 and half hours from the house as the first out of town test.
I bought sound deadening and light canceling curtains to cover all the windows. I use magnets to hold them up, makes it real easy if I want to take them down when driving. There are 2 ways to look at covering all the windows so no one can see into the bus. With the windows covered they can only wonder what's inside. One friend said that will make them want in the bus more, to find out what's inside. On the other hand if I don't cover all the windows they can see in and know what's inside and that will make them want to get in. I am going with the full cover and hope for the best.

Tint the windows and add a compressor. You really can't see in the windows when they are tinted because of how high they are.

That'd be a mile of tint & a real PITA. :wink:
Oh man that looks awesome though, I really like old bus's I think one of the late 40's early 50's polished aluminum bus's would make a neat rig. Throw in a shower & stove & you'll be ready to ride anywhere you can drive.
