Hey everyone,
I am thinking about buying an old cargo van, short bus, or ambulance to convert into an RV camper. It will probably take me a couple years to complete, but I would like to get started before the winter here comes.
The problem is, I am completely split amongst choosing a vehicle (one of the three above) to do this project with. Each one has its own pro's and con's and I need help narrowing my choices down.
Please take a minute or two to vote and tell me why you picked what you did, and any suggestions you may have.
Thank you!!

I chose short bus because there are plenty around that are used. You can pick them up fairly cheaply at school auctions and municipal auctions. They are built heavy duty for service and usually are well maintained by their previous owners,(some vehicles may even have all of the repair history available.)Parts are generally easy to come by either in the usual auto arts stores,(for most items, ) or a place that specializes in parts for buses or heavy duty fleet vehicles.
