Wow! Got caught up on the reading, now have to chase down all the videos when I have a block of slow time. What a treat to read all at once! And what a trip for you! Keep it up!

I saw on another thread you're having engine problems. Anything major?

Not sure where I left off here...But things are moving slowly with my bus. I get out to where its stored every Sunday and spend a few hours on it. Got all the interior wood seams caulked, all the staple and nail holes puttied, started sanding. I put wire loom (plastic covering)on all the wiring that was running around. Removed the rubber matting on the entry door steps and found buckets of rust to deal with. Will take care of this before covering the entire entry steps and cab floor with aluminum diamond plate. This last month I had my extra set of fuel injectors cleaned and tested so I got 4 good ones to install when it goes to the shop. Also spent $335 to have my extra high amp Penn Tex alternator rebuilt here locally. Had a guy out today to measure back of bus etc for a custom rack/deck/bumper that will fit tool boxes, and generator.
I got pics of everything but I still don't know what photo sharing site to use to get them on here. (Help Please).
Still have long ways to go. But hoping to get the interior at least painted before it gets really cold here.

I'm using my laptop. I think I'm going try google photos. I'm transferring 856 pics to it right now. I used to have TapTalk on my phone but it distracted me too much at work. So I don't have any social media or games etc on my phone. Thank you for the input. Might have to go to TapATalk if this doesn't work.

i use imgru.com as my photo host but with like photobucket they can change their policies at any time and you are screwed
you can use the add attachment here but photos need to be 3mb or smaller
