we just returned from a 9 day 3300km, picked up some new sailum steer tires, a long the way, I feel better, the others where 13 years old and wearing out.
I had some troubles with the fan clutch, it would stay on when it kicked on , I ended up running a wire direct to it with a switch , so I could turn it on when needed, worked great to get us home, have to figure out whats wrong with it, will be heading out in 3 weeks for a 2 week holiday .

hard to believe spring is here , it will be time to pull the old bus out again. its also time to do some rebuilding, over the years things are wearing out, and need up grading. first thing will be new floors, I'm also planning on removing the rear windows and replacing them with metal, as well as some paint up grades. The bus its self needs some tlc , I see some brake hoses are looking scary, might replace the rad and hoses, don't have any real trips planned yet but I'm sure will head out some where. ill post pictures as soon as I figure out how with new phone I have

nice to see you post again, welcome back.
Could be worse places to be than up in the Valley, but permanent boondocking possible up there.
Enjoy your new digs,


John

holy smokes, I haven't been on here for a while, lots of new people, we haven't been out in the bus yet, life is busy , so its taking a bit of a rest. Its been 10 years now, and have put on over 50,000 kms. its served us well. Now i'm making plans to do some revamping add a few things replace things. The future plan is winters in the south, but not for a couple years.
we are living between Ottawa and North bay now, right on the hwy, and I do see the odd skoolie go by.
