I tell everybody 2 years but I have already been at it 2 years, The plan at the moment is to have the air-con going for the summer as last year I never did as much as I could have
because it got too warm in there.
I dont have as much time to work on it as I would like
When it is done we intend to travel al of WA selling tools.

There is another forum member that also lives in Geraldton and he also has a big bus but is a bit further along.

WOW Toolman, that is really impressive. Welcome to the happiest travellers' forum around.

You certainly will be a very busy man getting that beautiful bus, up and running.
Good luck with the air con fitting. We will all be watching to see how you handle those tools that you hope to flog around the countryside.

The bus will be lisenced as a van and I intend to vinyl wrap the whole thing including over the windows

This is what I intend the inside to be like:

Thanks Kevin,
At the moment we swing thrugh faily regularly, and after the last caravan park we tried up there, may well take you up on that for a night or two. We have some worked booked at Roadrunners probably in January, when they can get us a brake rotor. Pads are another story, apparently its a 270 day lead time for a set from the states

Hi Kevin and welcome to the forum,
I'm guessing you are a member of William's buying group judging by the wheels and the Rich Electrics inverter :lol: William has his lithium system up and running as does Scott... isn't that one a build and a half :shock: 8-) and he has proven the split system air con runs quite well on lithium and solar ;) I think he has enough inverter, solar and battery power in the 40fter and trailer to power a medium size town.
looking forward to the photos as the build continues.
