This is my own vehicle. I do actually drive for another company. In Michigan, you can buy a bus and convert it to an RV. You have to repaint it, remove the warning light flashers and stop sign, and add permanent eating and sleeping quarters, then you can register as an RV and you won't need a CDL. The downside, is then you'd have to pay motorhome insurance on it.

@TheMorton54- Yes, there are a ton of factory options. They can pretty much add anything they want as long as it conforms to their state requirements; however, options like an air seat, air door, air ride, and even air brakes cost extra money.

@matts4290 if it was an FE, there would be a curved stepwell and a hood in the cockpit, and a full emergency door in the back. Your right, it is a RE. There is just a push out window in the back.

I drive this same exact bus at work, (2002 Blue bird AA) and the mechanics said the idle adjust has to be connected. They left it disconnected to regulate how high you can idle.

i rode a 2011 BB vision the other day. it was manual door, which most buses(in the dapper bus co) have. i wonder why the bb corp went to hi tech air door to a 1980 manual blak box?
@matts429013 жыл бұрын
@sobo418 No, it doesn't work when the high idle is activated. It does not work on this bus. The switch will adjust the engine idle on the other buses at our shop though, w/o the rabbit switch on.

@TheMorton54- Its all how the bus is spec'd. Some schools opt for the simple manual doors since they rarely fail. The air door has a lot more components that can and are more likely to fail.

@LibbyMia-rz8gk4 жыл бұрын
Kneeling is to make the bus more convenient for people to get on buddy, it doesn't act as a emergency Air supply, most drivers override the air by revving the bus in neutral resulting in the engine warming up quicker meaning it puts air in the system earlier

I really dont like this type of bus. Because i remember one time that my bus driver closed her door and still had her reds on because she was waiting for a kid, and it was winter, so what if she closed the door, the lights would turn off and cars would go, that could kill someone.
