After many years of working on this thing and taking many trips that had issues. We took this girl up to Ojai this weekend and it drove like a dream. May not look the best but it climbed them hills like a champ.

Sweet! Ain't nothin' like having your work deliver you into coolness. Cool

Where all did you camp? And, what would you like to install/change in your bus to make camping even more efficient? I was thinking about a lightweight cabinetry/rack that bolts into where the middle seat goes, so I can throw all my gear in there quickly and bug out.

I have stripped the interior completely. Would like to make a dinette set bed like in a pop up camper. I'm looking to build a Patrol Box to store kitchenwares, cook kits , stove and collapsable oven. This I would load in the back. But will have a majority of the storage in the center of the bus to help even the the weight out.

Mine broke that that a few weeks back. Well it didn't totally break, I caught it just in time. Make sure you blow out the tube with your compressor and to grease the cable before you install it.
