    Turning in old 🚌 into a 🏡 has been one of my dreams for at least the past 10 yrs. That along with the rental market prices currently has this in my 💭. thoughts, so I've been watching quite a few tiny home on Wheels videos. If this ever happens for me, I would pay this guy to do all my wiring, because out of all the videos I've watched, he's the most prepared. This 🏡 has the most character along with the sense to conserve. The thing I like the most about the job he did fixing this up is it looks way better than those I've seen with the modern everyday interior. Instead of spending a lot of money on that, he & his wife made use of craigslist & any place selling used furniture & made this bus look like an actual home instead of a camper. His wife made the curtains everything. I'm very inspired I the job & in his wife did. They made this 🚌 into a 🏡 I ❤️ it.

    Wow! It looks like an actual RV! What an inspiration. It's been a year for me, still working on the renovation. This gives me hope. Mine is not this fancy though. Lol! The embroidery is lovely! 😃

    Auto grease is wonderful. They use a zero weight grease and do an almost constant grease delivery system that always flushes the bearings and bushings out of any dirt, breakdown material, moisture. Excellent systems. I am biased as I used to install and design such systems for Groeneveld the best in the world.

    Love what you all have done. I’m converting a 2007 D4500. Haven’t gotten started yet so I was looking for ideas of what I could do. Have to admit I was a bit intimidated by the multiplex computer system but you’ve given me inspiration. How did you manage to change your destination signs? I’d love for mine to stop saying “road test”.

    I hope the price of diesel comes down so you can come home. :). Been crazy lately. Wanting to take my bus to Quebec in a couple of months but I might be taking the Goldwing since its just me going. When are you coming to Alberta? I like your bus. Safe travels.

      It wasn’t bugs. It was a weird effect from using my camera light reflecting off normal dust particles in the air, like you might have seen in a morning sunbeam in your house
