How do you want it titled above since this seems to be your ongoing adventures?

"On the road too..." seemed fitting since I don't really have a destination, so that works for me. Maybe when I find a destination where it stops or turns around I'll add that location afterwards to the title. Thanks Everett!

Hey Everyone.

I'm going to be launching a 5 month road trip in the spring but I am starting the blog now. Updates twice a week on prepping for van living. Travel and road maintenance from a VW mechanic with 20 years experience.

Many travel blogs cover their break downs, many are stuck for months at a time due to repairs. This blog's focus is how to do your own maintenance, diagnose problems on the road, and keep yourself running without a monthly lowing bill. Every bit of maintenance will be covered from here on out, small or large.

Check it out.

Thanks for this Tcash! This is really awesome! Sorry I didn't see it until now...I'm not our usual family-Samba-monitor Razz (Emma here). Hopefully we will be back to actually "traveling" soon!

Hi all,

I wasn't happy when my husband retired and decided to drive across the country and back in his old VW Bus. But I gave him a camera and a shot list and we ended up having a great time documenting his travels (and travails, lol).

I hope you enjoy this video of the trip from Massachusetts to California...
https://youtu.be/r5a9GvlkSeQ

And the trip home again...

Very Happy

I watched your travel video. Loved it. Just a good way to show what it's all about. I loved how all the cars would fly by not seeing anything and you seeing everything.

Thank you so much! In the beginning of this adventure, I was very distressed about my husband being so far away for so long. But by collaborating on documenting his trip, we ended up as a stronger team. And by watching all the footage, I had the sense of travelling along with him. It's amazing how these old buses can bring people together even when they're apart Smile
