Hello to everyone! I wanted to introduce myself (and had to get the "lurker" title from under my username).
My husband Chuck and I are 40-something DINKS that are "gonnabes" sometime in the next few years (hopefully) with our 3 cats. We are planning to build a bus conversion and are currently reading everything we can get our hands on about accomplishing this.
I'm glad Howard decided to start this forum. I've been reading their journal from the beginning, and it's great to be able to hear from some of the other readers.
Hope to hear from some of you soon!

Welcome,
I agree, this was a great idea on Howard and Linda's part -
RE: Bus conversion - I have been following another site that may interest you.
Sean and Louise converted a Neoplan Spaceliner bus and did some fantastic things during the process. Sean had great ideas about the appliances (marine stove, etc.) and the electrical system to allow extended boondocking.
Thanks for the welcome, and for those links. I do like their bus a lot.
Nick and Terry Russell (from The Gypsy Journal) have done a fantastic job on theirs. I've email Nick a few times with questions and he's always been great about answering me.
There's another Sean who has been working on a school bus conversion. We aren't planning to do a school bus (I see school bus and I start humming the theme song from "The Partridge Family"), but he did some great things inside.
