I am trying to find my bus (Clyde)... Sad I sold It in Nov 2013 to some folks in Utah. I lost contact with the owners this past year. I know they travel the country in (Clyde) from Canada to South Texas. East coast to west coast

Partly ....tragically i had a emergency and needed the cash. I stayed in touch with the owners for 2 to 3 years while they traveled the US and enjoyed Clyde but lost contact last year.
No bus has measured up to Clyde for me since.
