What bus to start with

[Van]

People with cash buy the Prevost to get the $3000.00 a day deprecation,my Doctor buys a  new Prevost every 5 years for taxes  lol he is in group 3

Ha I still have Clifford to thank for talking us out of a  Gorgeous H-3 45 Marathon a few years back. Or first bus a model 15 Silver Eagle was to be my DIYer but building coaches @B&B Coachworks was taking up all of my time. Building it with the intent of fulltiming some day it got put in the back burner. Sold it to someone that wanted to finish it. We are fulltiming now and still ended up buying the bus we fell in love with, Ace Rossi' H-3 40 as it was pretty much done and now are just doing upgrades. Being retired and fulltiming affords us the luxury of traveling as much as we want for as long as we want, if we want with no worries.
  Get a pre owned conversion (or new) if you want to travel now or build your own, no wrong way in this hobby/lifestyle. Camp or Glamp just do it

This whole bus thing is bring out the underlying groups of interest...

Maybe also a Group 6... The guys that are into vintage vehicles and choose vintage buses because of what they are, maybe you could also say in spite of what they are.

Dan is an excellent example of a person who plans ahead and has a backup plan. Fuel costs are forcing everyone (except the super wealthy) to plan shorter trips and longer stays. Manual transmissions might even make a comeback (not likely), but there are automated 10 speeds that would help fuel mileage.

Thanks for the kind words Walter. The word "forced" in front of your mention of backup plan fits better.
Want to make mention of You & the Mrs. coming to the Random Acts of Camping rally in Napannee IN w/o your bus to meet people like us that have been chatting Forum for a spell. It is great to put a person to the name.
