I have been a member for a few years, and prior to that I was a long time lurker. Long story short, I started with a 97 Bluebird All American. After 2 years of blood,sweat,tears, and about a 15k investment, our bus was completed. We have travelled a bit in the west, and are currently parked near Monterey Bay California. We have lived in it full time for 2 years. It has functioned better than we ever expected, and we still love it and are quite comfortable. My wife and I, and 3 small dogs have all learned how to function in this small space and love the adventure and challenges this lifestyle has for us.
