Is it cheaper to buy an RV or convert a bus?

In many cases, it’s much less expensive to convert a bus than to buy an RV, especially if you’re considering a newer RV model, which can exceed $100,000 . Another huge benefit of school bus conversion is that you are in control of the renovation project. You get to pick your camper's new layout and all the appliances and furniture.

Why are used school buses so cheap?

While school buses can easily cost $300,000 when they're new, you can often find used buses for just a few thousand dollars. These vehicles experience extreme depreciation due to government regulations; they can only be used for so long before they must be replaced. Due to those same regulations, other government agencies cannot purchase them for their own uses, so the consumer market is the only place they can go.

How long does it take to do a bus conversion?

The length of time it takes to convert a bus depends on the scope of the project (and size of the bus), how much work is DIY vs. done by a professional contractor, and how much work you’re doing up front. In general, expect at least a couple of months for a conversion, but larger conversions could take six months to a year. Remember: You can tackle projects as you go: Get the basic work done so that it’s livable, and then continue to enhance your living space over time.

"I hire them to do my front deck and expand my back deck and put up a privacy fence. It took them for ever to get the permits. Didn't have enough crew because they take on more than they can crew. They ghosted me for a couple of weeks . Ppl quitting on them .They put up my fence without a survey and went off of my word . Where i thought my property was. My neighbor said my fence was on her property . Pro Solutions charged me and extra $1500 dollars to move the fence. I had to pay $1000. For Trout Creek to come out and survey my property. They out sourced my deck to a another company that's why they ghosted me because they were looking for someone to build my deck . The new company came and was working hard and fast . Then they didn't report to work a few days . When they came back I asked them what happen ? They told me they wasn't getting paid . So they wasn't working until they got paid . They got paid and those guys were great. NOT PRO SOLUTIONS these guys are pieces of shit"

"The company represented to be competent and experienced at bathroom remodeling however the worker, Joel was not able to complete the job efficiently. He installed a shower liner over a shower body which he had improperly installed which caused leaks and a situation where we had to break through a wall to get to the improperly installed shower body to fix it. We supplied the materials including the shower body which he did not use but instead left the old one in which doesn’t quite fit with the new shower handle. The toilet was loose and crooked also not sealed on the bottom as per code. When I pointed out to the worker that he had caused a leak, water was pouring into my basement he attempted to charge me an additional $100 to fix his own mistake. The tiles were not properly spaced so some were too close to receive the black grout that we had intended to distribute over the whole tiling project, it remains unevenly grouted. With the uneven spacing it is impossible to grout properly. Overall a disaster of a job, most of the work he did had to be redone."
