Kinda new - blessed

We bought a 2007 International Activity bus a few months ago and are currently converting it but I thought y'all would like this...

My wife is off on Wednesdays so she does all our "admin" work then. She was calling around trying to find someone to give the bus a check over/tune-up to see how we did with our purchase. She wasn't having much luck until she called a school district a county over. They put one of their mechanics that did side work on the line and after my wife was telling him about the bus a bit he asked "Is this bus number 35?"

Turns out, he's maintained our bus since it was brand new and knows everything about it. He came over and did an oil change on it, greased a bunch of stuff underneath, fixed a small air leak, etc. etc. etc. He says we got a great bus and that he'd be more than happy to take care of anything we need help with.

Praise the Lord!

You got so lucky on finding the person that maintained the buss from new and is willing to help maintain it now. Guard your friendship with him. He is a valued asset to your future travels and adventures.

That is quite the coincidence! I wish I could find someone like that in the Northeast.
