Part 3; Home after 3200 miles, Dumbos ears, and photos

[slowstepper]

Ok everyone, I finally made it home a few days ago, after picking up the bus in Baltimore, running leg 1 to Detroit, leg 2 to Salt Lake City, and the final leg was to my home in Auberry California (in the mountains above Fresno.

Only issue on leg 3, was that the door started flapping open and closing repeatedly, but off and on, then finally it would just stay open. sometimes I could get it to close by hitting the emergency open switch - seems odd? other times, nope. I looked for an air leak in the mechanism - the piston is pressurized (extended) when the door is closed, but I didn't really see of hear anything there - the mechanism looked quite clean and tidy. So maybe the switch?

anyway, its home safe, and waiting for me to finish up my 2 projects prioritized before the bus. 1. rebuilding my toy hauler trailer - got that done! 2. restoring my Porsche 914 - and I'm a few weeks away from putting that back on the road. But for now - fishing season, all projects on hold while I go out after the high mountain trout out here in the west!

attached, Hopefully will be a few photos of the bus - as requested.

It sounds like you have the priorities in the right order !!!

3200 miles... awesome!

How was the oil consumption?

And it surely meant a lot of fuel, too

Nice to see you made it back safely! Excellent alternate use of the handicap door too.

Glad you made it home.

That's one hell of a nice looking front grill!

2nd the use of the wheel chair lift.
