Signs of being a BusNut?

[MattC]

I was feeling a tad bit overwhelmed about converting my bus when I stumbled across a post on this or WOBN site about overcoming bus conversion related depression.  The long and short of several pages of aggregated advise was "Take 'er out for a spin".

Not one to argue with smarter and cooler heads,  I packed some stuff in my aluminum tent.  I figured a drive to burn off that stagnate fuel would be a good idea. A couple days later I found myself in RV Mecca.  It's surprising how  a 'tank' of fuel will take you.  LoL 

Four days on the road and three days of shopping did wonders for my doldrums.  Now I have a bus full of new puzzles to figure out.  I also learned NOT to trust what my GPS when it comes to bus navigable roads.  LoL  And I thought roads in Alaska were bad!

MattC,

I can relate.  I got my bus this past April.  I picked it up in Idaho.  This was the longest vehicle I'd ever purchased and my first real lesson lasted about 3,000 miles.  Idaho to New Jersey via Montana.  I only got a ten minute test drive before closing the deal but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express!  I was a bit nervous at first but I got more confident by the hour.  Confident about driving it and converting it as we discussed its future on our journey home (I took my wife & three kids with me).  We took a week to get home .  We stopped by Yellowstone but it was closed - they open end of April weather permitting.  We also stopped at Mount Rushmore - worth the stop!

Point is this, by the time we got home I wanted to be a full-timer!  I only wish I got "the bug" years ago.

Once "bitten", never the same!

I was starting to think the only reason I bought a bus was to work on it!!! I got to do a little cruise in it and now I'm back working on it but with a smile again. I hate to admit it but I have more miles on the bus this year than I do on my bikes! I may have to trade my leathers  in for whatever a busnut would wear!! (probably something greasy and grimy also  )  Later
