In the State of Florida there are 3 requirements that one must choose from in order to re-title a school bus as a Motorhome.
- Install LP gas system for cooking or heating.
- Install plumbing for some kind of running water.
- Install a 110v outlet.
Of those three we decided to install a 110v outlet. We chose to go this route because it would be the easiest, the least expensive, and we couldn't quite place where our plumbing or LP lines should go at the time, but we could install the outlet without much trouble.
Destoni actually did all the work herself (applause).
We went with a Hubbel Taymac brand outdoor covered box and a Hubbel 15 amp 3-wire grounding plug. That plug allows us to plug in an extension cord and get power to the one Legrand GFCI outlet on the inside.
Hooking up the Romex between the grounding plug and the inside oulet was a simple task. We then secured it all to a wall panel.
Now all of this is temporary to get the title work done. It will be removed and the components will be used in other places, but this was our simple setup to satisfy the State.
One note about the DMV as well; They did NOT do an inspection of the unit, not even an inspection of the bus at all. That may vary between States and Counties, but for us it was a simple affidavit.
You can see how we did this in the video below and if you have any questions or comments we would love to hear from you.
We also have an Instagram account where you can see daily pics of what is going on as well as exclusive content.
