Re: I drank the Kool-Aid
858 mile trip this weekend....kind of a shakedown trip. All went well, about 9 mpg. 2000 rpm at 64 mph-ish. Re-gearing might be an option, not sure yet. Was wishing I had chains for a little while there.

Those RPMs don't sound too bad really. I'm up at 2,500rpm at 65mph with a 4.44 gear ratio, DT466 engine, and AT545 tranny.

Re: I drank the Kool-Aid
Looks Great !!! Very impressed with your bus....... I like it alot better than the one in Atlanta, GA.. Guess I need to wait until I find the right one....
Hard to just look and not jump on some of these...
Great Job on the conversion....
