BONER: Gert and I have used a school bus for travel. we enjoyed living on the road with it, some thoughts 1. bus can be purchased on e-bay all the time. 2. they are slow going 3. we lived in them all over the place we stayed away from tourist areas no problems. 5. a bus draws a litte "hippie" attitude positive and negative we found it amusing most of the time. 6. a used rv that has a little inside damage can be had inexpesivly a some work will make it very usable, it just isn't as funky as a bus. enjoy your trip Geo & Gert
