Hello again ... I sure could use some quick advice. I need a dual voltage 12/115v refrigerator. Anything a better choice for the same or less money than a Truckfridge ? Thanks

okay, so I am really alive still. However things are hellish, very difficult, and right when they got better, things are still tough.I really enjoy this thread and never intended to abandon it, so let me make it clear to everyone what is going on. I simply do not have a laptop at all. I do not...

Unbelievably ... I am still alive. All of us are. But yes, this is very difficult. VERY. So here it is; The story of the MUCH DIFFERENTLY THAN WAS EXPECTED journey. And the hell which follows ... Quick recap : We had to leave MUCH earlier than was expected, and it cost us the funds to...

I am so sorry everyone. Things got very crazy, very fast. We have no electricity, so no laptop yet. I am doing this from my phone. We are now in Simi Valley California. I will completely update tonight, if possible.

Hello everyone ... I am about to go to sleep. But we finally did get the bus insured as a "motor home" .... the price ? $60 yearlly !!! So we are feeling pretty good right about now. I DO have new photos ... but they will have to wait until tomorrow. Good night friends all ...

Hi Wade ... we are leaving this Friday or Saturday. We just found out we can get a temporary registeration permit for only $5 .... But we have spent the last few hours trying to find insurance ... and NO-ONE will insure the damned thing now !

Oh man ... Does anyone have any advice on how to register this thing tomorrow ? As a bus, and RV, etc ?

Oh man ... sheer, sheer exhaustion and stress on the body and mind ! I am trying to tie up the projects on the bus, which have to be done before we leave this weekend. While my son and daughter are trying to pack and move things into storage. Having our time cut drastically short as it was, we...

Exhaustion doesn't even begin to describe ..... I have new pics, and will post some time tomorrow. Zzzzzzzzz

No sir. Those hinges will have to be drilled. The reason the soor cracked that way, is because I used 3.5" long deck screws to hold that heavy door on. But I also squeezed epoxy into the screw holes. The door, screws, and crack are set in very hard epoxy. I just need to go back and seal that...

What a windy day ! It was difficult to work, and even walk today because of high winds. But I did spend a few hours on the bus. I took one of the pieces of the cut up bookshelf and tried to figure out a good way to use it, and came up with this possibility ... I also did some painting...

Update time ... I did not spend over about 4 hours at the bus today, but I was able to solve the great screen mystery ! LOL Back when I first started doing the conversion, I installed two foot 1x4" boards between each window. This was just for looks really. But they ended up solving the screen...

I hate the days like today .... Yes, I am getting necessary things accomplished. But it is making the last 5 curtains for the bedroom part of the bus. I would much rather be working on the small construction projects the bus needs finished. But oh well. I will snap a few photos later of the new...

Straight lines ? really ? LOL I haven't found much of anything straight or true on this bus so far ! I'm surprised anything fits LOL. But yes ... I do use a ruler, square, level, straight edge, etc when I work. Considering I do not own a table saw, work table, saw horse, work light or tool...

What the hey !!! Another decent update in a timely manner !!! Just know this : This old man is waaay beyond sore and exhausted. We spent this morning cutting a hole in a perfectly good bus, just to hang the wall heater ... And then I look outside, and someone has went and cut up...
