I watched one minute of the video and I have 3 questions:
1. Why is he pushing the bus? Again, he has a Pat Downs build….If I had to work on my engine/transaxle as much as this guy, I’m pretty sure my builder would smack me upside the head and tell me to buy a sprinter.
2. Why is the bus so empty, where is all his stuff? I use my bus all the time, the cabinets only hold so much stuff.
3. Why are we posting about this guy? Any press is good press. _________________ __________

He is at home exploring the Island he grew up on. Im sure the pushing was when his starter or battery some shit went bad.

Where’s all there stuff? They got no clothes, no shoes, no jackets, no bedding, no food, no camping gear. My bus only looks like that when it’s empty and I drive it to work. Even then it still has a ton of shit in it. _________________ __________

As a first time bus owner (73 Panel) back in the early 90s (bought for a open-ended trip around NA), in the first 2 years of ownership:
* I had to rebuild the engine twice - once when I got it and the 2nd in year 2 after the oil pump failed on route in Colorado
* I had to replace the transaxle once due to forgetting to re-grease the pilot bearing (thankfully I was in Oregon and there were lots of transaxles available on the cheap)
* Drove 25,000 miles
* Drove from the West coast of Oregon to Halifax Nova Scotia in 52 hours only stopping for gas & food and switch drivers
* Accidentally flipped the bus onto its side on the mud flats of the Magdalen Islands in the Gulf of St. Laurence.
* Met some great people wherever I went
* Made $0 from the trip but have a lifetime of memories = priceless _________________ *******************************

Don't tell them. Let them figure out on their own where the roof heater switch is located. _________________ Prosit!

No, because millennials know how gloves work.
