We decided before we built this bus that we would keep track of and share the complete cost of the build. When doing our research everyone seemed to “estimate” or not share the true cost of their build. We might not buy the best products or do what you might have done but here’s what we have done and are doing. Thanks for following along and I hope this helps others with their builds.
