    It does have a Mercedes engine but not the one I want for the truck. The one for the Taco is 5 cylinders and considerably smaller.

    That's my new home. Or will be at least. I'm going to turn it into a rolling apartment.

    Should have the guts to pull my truck in/on a trailer as well.

    The interiors can be pretty amazing. People get very creative with them. Hopefully I can do the same.

    Hopefully I'm not getting in too far over my head.

    I dig it man! Hell, once you go crazy on the taco, you can just trailer it behind this thing and have a place to stay wherever you go wheeling.

    I did a bunch of measuring and a lot of math, the truck, as is, will fit inside a car hauler with enough room for my tool boxes and a work bench and the bus should have enough guts to pull it.

    If the truck gets bigger, I'll have to go to a partially open/enclosed setup.

    Yeah dude, I'm super stoked for this project. There's a lot to do but I'm really excited to start. I think I'll rent some hangar space at the airport to park it in and I'll take all my tools over to work on it.

    Thats a good deal! I bet parking for something that large can add up in a hurry

    I got it from a company that specializes in selling these types of buses. You know someone that worked on that bus?
