I had my left hip replaced last june and now I am going to need a revision on it, as well as my wife needing back surgery now, neither the 15 or the camper are going to be worked on much if at all. |

Good to hear! Hopefully you have recovered properly from that hip injury. I can't wait to see more updates! |

I have been waiting a year to get back on this bus, bought another house, had my shop built, sold off a couple vw's and was ready to get back to work, now that the 100 degree days are gone, then this happens. this idiot crossed into my lane on the HWY, I had the truck for about 1 hour. Broke my leg and generally all banged up

Glad it wasn't worse, but geez, you need life to cut you some slack. Heal quickly and fully, and get back at it. Good luck. |

Have you considered simply starting with a nicer bus? I don't know what your skills are, but the race is easier if you can see the finish line. If you are not a runner, don't start off doing a marathon. |

Nice cooler! I have one exactly like that, 3 way convertible cooler. You can rotate the emblem so that it's always upright no matter what end it's sitting on. I'm keeping mine for use in a bus someday too. _________________ Brandon |

Some progress is better than none at all. And I have a friend who's been with chicks like that; they're also better than none at all hahaha. _________________ ,,Wenige Menschen denken, und doch wollen alle entscheiden.'' -der Alte Fritz
