At the beginning of May we bought an older bus conversion to live in. This Friday (May 29th) we will be moving back to Iowa from Oregon with it and it will be a big test for our 1964 MCI Challenger bus conversion. We've driven it about 80 miles so far (on the interstate, up some inclines) and haven't had a problem yet but it's got to go about 1700 miles. Once we take off in it we will officially be fulltime RVers that however still own a primary residence.
The previous owners named it "I Think I Can"; if you see us along the way you can't miss it. If you see us on the side of the road don't worry, we do have Good Sams RV Emergency Roadside Service.
We haven't told any of our family or friends yet about the bus for a couple reasons, thankfully they don't know anything about this forum. Our plan plan is just to show up and sounding the big air horns once we get home. We'll update you once we get home.

Hope you don't need ERS for anything. Have a safe trip. If you find internet access drop us a line and let us know how the trip is progressing. Should be a good shake out cruise for your rig...
