Three Years in a Vintage Bus

Our House is in the Shop (Living in a Parking Lot)
One concern that many people have about life on the road is this – how will you handle things if your ‘house’ breaks down? This particularly comes up when considering the ‘towable vs motorhome’ question for the ideal full time RV to live in. We’ve had both towable trailers and now a bus conversion motorhome. And […]

Between my father and the business turmoil up – we’ve pretty much been in high-alert crisis mode for way too long. The past few weeks have obviously been focused on everything […]
