Ryan Said:

Can I use regular household appliances rather than RV appliances?

We Answered:

The biggest drawback to using household appliances in your converted school bus is that they are not designed to be operated on the power sources you will have available while driving.... That is 12V DC electricity, or propane gas.

RV refrigerators are normally "dual-fuel" appliances that can operate equally well on propane gas or on 12V DC. Your average household fridge needs 120V AC electricity, so you would not be able to use it while on the road. Household refrigerators also have cooling coils that may not hold up to the vibration experienced in an RV as it is traveling down the road.

You could use a gas range in your bus, but you would have to convert it from natural gas to propane. A household range would take up a lot of space in the relatively small RV kitchen. I would suggest using a 2 or 3 burner gas cooktop, and a 12V microwave oven for your cooking needs.

I am looking to buy a small lot either in town or in the country and live in a large RV?

We Answered:

Sure. It is legal. Why wouldn't it be?

You can live anywhere you want if you own it.

I need help finding a small RV lot to rent near Norht Dallas, Tx?

There's a place in Plano off of 75 & Spring Creek (northbound side of 75). It's been there for as long as I can remember but I don't remember the name of it. It looks like it could be rather large and any time I've driven past, it seems to consist of permanent residents and those who are just passing through (it MIGHT have the name Spring Creek in it). Other than that, I really don't know anything else about it.

Good luck.
