Thanks for the replies Gil & Dale!
The bus isn't *ours* just yet, but unless some unforeseen disaster in the unit rears it's head that makes it not even worth the pennies we're buying it for - it's only a couple of weeks away nowWe're just waiting on the owner to fly back to the states.

We're told that the tent takes two people to set up (one if you're big and have done it a bunch of times) and about 3 hours if running the lights and putting up the siding. A quick frame and roof should take 1 hour (with two people). A G2000 / Nova awning it is not. But, neither are they this. Everything's a trade off right?
Thanks for the shout about contacting Joe camper. I sent off a quick "friend" ping here on the forums. But I'll reach out properly over message in the near future.
As for the Stainless, yeah, I'm preeetty sure a razor blade run down the coach just above the top of the 4 row ribs (below the uppermost 3 ribs) is in the near future to reveal all that lovelinessAnd, I think I'll leave the red angled striped running top to bottom still though. After that as time marches on, who knows right? Strip it all, do a different stripe color?

We've spent so much time hunting and learning up until now it's sort of surreal. We're excited to be sure, but also maybe... relieved to have finally found it? lol
As for an inspection, in the process of shopping, we met a local 8V92 mechanic that we've stayed in touch with who is likely stop #1 after driving off with the bus. It's somewhat planned that we'll leave it with him for the Data download and some new tires as well as a cooling system inspection and that sort of "game-plan" list creation of what will need service soon, and what can wait a bit.
And we're looking forward to speaking with Joe for sure!
