Re: Leap of Faith
Love the sunflower. Are you going to paint over it to paint the whole bus or paint around it?

Re: Leap of Faith
Just took a couple hours to read through your Project. Kudos, fabulous job.
You might try adding an expansion tank to your water pump. Keeps it from kicking on and off with each little use as well as more stabilized flow. That's one of my lessons learned!!

Re: Leap of Faith
Lucky you weren't stuck out in the middle of nowhere! There seems to be a lot of "nowhere" here in NM. I'm told it takes some getting used to and I really don't think we ever will. I'm also pretty sure we won't stay here in NM... I miss trees and Appalachian Green! Next stop is Colorado...I think... but don't know when.

Re: Leap of Faith
AAA towed you in?? Do you have a standard AAA membership or special RV one??
I thought they wouldn't deal with a RV/Bus.

Lily;
Good to see you made it in and got an education in the process. I hope the "tuition" wasn't too expensive.....

Re: Leap of Faith
Thanks for the link Lily! Yours was one of the first bus conversions I saw on skoolie and really inspired our build. I'm glad I can still look back and show people where we got our ideas from.

Re: Leap of Faith
Love the background music during the redwood drive. That performance of "Let it Grow" was a great one!
