Finally packed up and ready to travel. I have a few more small things to work on - so I will spend a few weeks near the farm (to hang out with my Cow) - then work on heading a little West. I really need to see Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.

I don't even notice the car being pulled. It's so weird.

I do love my little Subaru... I hope they let me park my bus at the Subaru Factory in Lafayette, IN (I think that's where it is) - just for a few days. Who wouldn't want to boondock at a Car manufacturing plant?!?

Is it kosher to tow a subaru 4 down?
If its a cvt its only supposed to be towed like that in dire emergencies.

I have the manual 5-Speed. Which does well. I would not attempt to tow the CVT - I prefer the manual transmission in a Subaru.

Ah, I see. Me too. I just CAN'T buy an automatic if a manual is available.
But with buses and big stuff its the opposite- I greatly prefer an auto.

I wanted a stick shift in my truck... I specifically asked for it at the dealer... they said they had One on the lot... when they brought it around I hopped in, and realized it still had window HANDLES.. a Radio.. no CD, no nav, just a blue number screen... a vinyl seat, no heated mirrors, no tinted windows, no cruise, no tilt wheel, a HEATER but no AC...

the sales guy said "thats the only way we can get a stick shift..."..

yeah Id take an auto so i could have something with some options that bring it into 2017 standards...

So good to meet such nice people out here!

I dig the corrugated siding over the windows. Quick, effective, cheap, sturdy

Sealing wavy edge would be tricky, but doable.

Interior ceiling panels can be used to cover the windows. I'd like to use my perforated ceiling panels for that. I've always tried to keep the windows unblocked, but the perforated panels would allow limited sight.

I am not sure I am prepared for cold cold weather - but I must say, my bus warms up pretty well.
I have a small $20 heater plugged in and it kept the bus comfortable.
Today I covered the windows on one side with some reflectix and that really kept the cold out. Unfortunately it also keeps the light and scenery out - but for the Florida 3-day winter, it helped!

It's 48 here right now. Got my $20 heater plugged in and the electric blanket and the dogs to keep me warm. Are you still on west coast?

I am still bouncing between Orlando and Tampa Bay. Will likely be here for another month - then try to venture further west into Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
