Thanks man. Yeah, it blows my mind. I was trying to figure out how to get it when it first came on the market. Then there was a price drop and things got real crazy here at my house. My wife pretty much worked out all the lagistics on how to get it done. She is the best. Oh, and it was her idea to "just fly up there and drive it back."

wow, that is the haul of the year I think. Way to go! there should be a little trophy for you to put on your bus that you get to keep until someone else does an even more insane drive, though this one will be very tough to beat. I love the 5 btu heater! you might as well had that thing on the roof

Living on the Gulf Coast, thats something we have to do on a weekly basis. Thats why most busses are brought into, not found in this area

Yep, I shoulda put the heater on the roof. Although that would've created more drag and slowed me down even more! It didn't do much, but without it, I don't think I would have made it as fast as I did.
I am planning on driving to the NDBS for sure. That will be a nice first show. Hopefully the other East Coast Barndoor guys will be there also. I'm really looking forward to a warmer, shorter trip!
