Sad to say but that's almost what we need. I could easily haul my scooter around and there would be plenty of room for the 5 kids in the back.

it took 4 batteries. two for the wheelchair lift. I spent most all afternoon replacing cables and batteries. the inside is excellent. no torn seats and heater by the back door. it looks like it would be good for camping. the front doesn't have seats and bolt down hooks for two chairs. it may get turned into a camper . someone just put all new tires on it.

My wife told me one day that she was tired of the grand rats putting there muddy shoes on the seats of here Jeep. I told here I would remedy that. I bought her this old bus, then Camo wrapped it, put a steel cage door 4 ft from the back, so she can throw their bikes in and away she goes. She's the coolest grama around, when she pulls into the school.

Any idea on how much one of those can haul? I may actually start looking for one if they can tow my camper. 7500lbs.

The Camo Wrap looks great.

1. Did you do it yourself?
2. If so how hard was it?
3. If not who did it?
4. and how much was it?
5. Is it sticking well to the original paint?

TIA,

Dean

The camo is sticking well. It took the wife and I about 30 hrs to put it on. 5 hrs at a time for 6 days. The wrap cost about $2300. I ordered 40' of 4' wide and 40' of 2' wide. It will stretch about 30% when you heat it with a hair drier. There's lot of different patterns. You put it on like wrapping a Christmas present, but instead of a large overlap, you cut it to minimise overlap.
