I must have read a different book! The book I read is quite concise, very readable and a joy to have. I have found that this book really inspires one to continue on the road to a bus conversion with a great deal of confidence and a sure friend to contact should you need assistance. Dave knows his way around a bus and I'm sorry the other folks didn't like the title (Bible, by the way just means "book", Dave didn't write the "Holy Bus Converter's Bible, but he did write the all around book on bus conversions, without getting so direct as to be a step by step manual, remember, he shouldn't be held responsible if I, or another doesn't do it right and turns a bus into a BOMB! Dave is a great guy, but he can't look over everyone's shoulder to make sure we don't do it wrong, although he IS a very helpful guy to know when doing this work. As for me, I intend to LEARN those skills I don't have now so I can do the best job I can on my bus and take responsbility for my own work.) This IS indeed a BOOK to have if you intend to convert a bus yourself, have one converted for you or even buy a motor home at a dealer's. The "boards" are right!, this is even BETTER than you think it will be. Maybe it's a case of the glass half empty v.s. half FULL, THANKS DAVE!

I read this book several times & found it too general. Not at all what I expected. I was looking for a step by step review to convert a bus into a 1st class RV. It boggs down in detail about technical fact to metal strengths & fasteners, etc. I'm know this information is important, little attention is paid to the nuts & bolts of bus conversions. I'm sure the book could / should be more specific. There are 'Standards' that should be followed from Bus Conversions to RVs (RVIA & NFPA Standards) A real "HOW TO" book could be written & this was not it! I'd like to see a book that tells me "This is the way to do it" & then tell me why. We can apply such knowledge to whatever 'style' conversion we wish to do on whatever model bus we wish to convert. This book is NOT as good as you would believe it is from reading the "Boards"

VERY SHORT AND SIMPLE: I throwed my money away on this book.

book gives very insightfull tips and guidelines, however the book is very incomplete and does not go into depth on electrical, driveline, etc. if your into converting an old gm bus or an eagle it's a fairly decent book to start with. but if you want a bible, forget it

Not much for the money. Good starter book but everything in the book is needs more research before you would attempt to do them.

This book is VERY general and does not really give any worthwhile information to someone looking to convert a bus. The price on this book is absolutely outrageous for what it is - beware DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! I ordered a couple other books from Dave Galey as well that were just as uninformative. I always come away wondering if this guy ever has even converted a bus or just spoke generally with a couple guys who have. If anyone gets a conversion done and feels like writing a book you'd do reall well selling it cuz this guy did terrible.
