Time to give the green bus a run for it's money

Do you think Jeff and crew would be amicable for an upgrade?

Buy a DART bus!

When did Jeff get a bus?

Don't mind me, I'm easily confused. Also, usernames slip my mind and I get at a loss.

Hmmm, I'm no mechanic (although I do understand some of the basics), but I'd be more inclined to look at school buses. All of the buses that I viewed on the web-site said "not running" and "parts missing". I can't imagine how much it would cost to just have the carcass towed even 30 or 40 miles in the metroplex, much less get the engine running.

If I wanted a tailgating motor home RV, I would be inclined to get with some friends and pool our money and purchase something like these.

To me, it would seem that getting an old airstream and remodeling it, like these people did,

but with a North Texas theme would be more ideal.

Avions are good too....

Bill, that dolphin and wind sport are good deals. But the '66 Avalon is a steal. No way that's still available for that price, even if it's trashed inside.

if you're in the market for a used RV, check this place out - consignment sales. They just opened a location in Cleburne. The original location is in Houston, and the other location is in New Braunfels.

I don't own an RV - I'd like to, at least by the time I retire...

Or if you would like to own a green bus, I know someone that could make you a good deal

Only if they throw in the magic helmet tap

For the right price, anything is possible

Yeah, I just bought my kid braces this morning. I ain't buyin' no bus no how right now.

Been there, done that.

Sound_Man · April 28, 2015

If braces effect your ability to buy the bus, then you can't afford the bus.

SilverEagle · April 28, 2015

OK, something like this

would make a good alternative. You get the enclosed air conditioned area, and plenty of protected sleeping space for those wanting to do the overnite tailgating thing without a big monetary outlay.

Sound_Man · April 28, 2015

Hmmmmm. A running, driving, themed school bus that is completely setup and ready to tailgate vs a pop up camper.

Yep sounds like the same thing to me.

SilverEagle · April 29, 2015

Sorry. Forgot about the title of the thread. I just let my mind wander into the area of people who were beginning to think about having a camping experience as part of their tailgating. RV's and converted buses (especially former city buses that aren't running) are a big commitment for first timers.
