So, Let's Talk About Owning a Mini Bus
I have owned a number of buses. The first one was at the prodding of a friend who had driven them for years. He insisted I *needed* one. He was right.
Why You Want a Mini Bus
So, why own a bus instead of a pickup truck? Both can hold large amounts of things. You can put a cap or tonneau top on a pickup and keep things dry. What the bus excels at is letting you walk around inside with a tremendous volume of space that is really ‘indoors’. I can stack things waist high. I can keep things completely dry. When I have my stuff unpacked, I have about a half an RV of interior space. My wife sells things from inside her bus - customers walk on and shop the clothing racks I built into her bus (yes, we have his and hers buses). It doesn’t require a special license and drives like a large van. Plus, they are cheap for what you get.

I'm not sure where else to put this, but this is a great website where they talk about the nomadic lifestyle, in addition to some really great build information: https://faroutride.com/
