no trepidation
Recently snatched up a 2004 Ford E-450 based 6 window short bus w/ 6.0L diesel. 157k miles. Supposedly this bus was mistakenly put up for auction when it was only supposed to be sent out for a new alternator. Somebody put it on the wrong list. I bought it for $3300. Rode the train to central Oregon, bought the bus and drove it 250 miles back home. The plan is to eventually turn this into a dirt-road capable expedition camper. I've had it a couple weeks, and made a bit of progress. Rearranged the interior, installed shore power and 1500w inverter, painted the damn thing and added a small roll-yer-own suspension lift. Currently installing a propane tank behind the left rear wheels. I'll just throw up some pics:
