I have driven x country many times but doing it in a bus with a top speed of 55mph is a different experience. I did extensive preperation and still broke down twice, and was in the shop on two seperate occasions. I met some lovely people and ultimately if I never had had any problems ( and victories ) would seeing the pacific ocean been as sweet? I don't think so.

7.3l idi ( 81k miles )

Allison at545 ( with a cooler, fan and synth fluid )

Issue 1) Starter solonoid large lug nut became loose and upon startup would fry my ignition cylander..took me a while to figure that one out in the heat of memphis.

Issue2) Gut told me to pull over...on grade in the middle of mojave desert, noticed I had JUST blown a cooler line...dumping fluid but since it just happened the block stayed cool...wow I felt lucky!

Blew some shocks, and a calliper got stuck. All can be fixed. Feelin grateful we made it! Safe travels yall

Hello,

Thought id post and introduce myself. I was in a civic, and then an astro for 6 years. Got my bus a year ago( standing up is the best) I got it to a stable point to head back west and rest before I work on it more.

Just wanted to say hi and safe travels

They keep darting up into the woods next to the trail.
