Answer:
I bought my 1970 bus (which has been converted to a camper without a poptop) for 2000 dollars off of Kijiji (used). but I thought I could drive it back and ended up spending about 3000 in total. don't get stuck in Saskatchewan cause you will be hitchhiking for about 3 hours before somebody finally picks you up. and you'll wait about 6 hours for a bus to show up.
