    I absolutely loved this video. It obviously was about the bus but also for me it was about the gentleman himself, the older generation. Honest, humble, hard working and God fearing. Thank you for posting this.

      How true that is! This world has lost its way. Sad in so many ways. People could learn so much from the older generation if they would just slow down and take the time to listen. I have an assistant at work who was not my choice and he has zero work ethic and doesn't want to learn. He's barely 21 and thinks he knows it all. I guess I might have been the same in many ways, but I do know I wanted to learn and I paid attention when I was being told something I needed to know. I'm getting close to retirement and have alot of knowledge to pass on. I shouldn't have to make this kid get to work. He should be all over it! I'm gonna blame some of the laziness on this contraption I'm on right now. They sit in their parents basements and play games in the dark instead of getting outside and wrenching on a car or having to be told to mow the lawn! Rant over. You just got me thinking with your comment.

      @@ceeceety2320 I thought I was just out of touch with today. I feel the same way. I watch the old tv shows and realize that If the old farms and ranches had a working radio for AM, they were ahead of the game. No TV's, maybe a radio. the rest of the time they were working the ranch, cooking meals, washing clothes, cleaning house. Recreation was playing sports outside, football, baseball, running jumping, doing barn raisings, hae community dances with real musicians.
      yeah, the old world is gone. no one talks anymore, visits with each other, worries for each other... churches are dying. It's all about Internet, cell phones, text messaging. really sad.

      Brenda Swann Well said! It was a badge of honor in days gone by. Too bad it isn't that way anymore in today's throw-away society. We just consume and so many don't even recycle! I would much rather have a vehicle that can be wrenched on by myself or someone who knows more than myself, but if you look around, you see the older Jeeps still on the road and some are in meticulous condition and you can go to a salvage yard and get replacement parts for them. They aren't made of plastic! I don't know if you've ever spent any time walking through a salvage yard, but there aren't many newer models, meaning from the last 2 decades, out there if any, unless it's a truck or a van. That speaks volumes! Nice comment!

    Just like everybody that loves their stuff - Way too much money is never enough.
    That's because you love the unit. It would be like someone selling their pet.
    This unit is only worth 1/4 of a million to you my friend.
    If you were offered $230,000 - you should have taken it.
    But you couldn't, because you love it.
    When I look at this bus I see an amazing bus.
    But I would gut the interior and install hardwood floors
    I would convert it into a home for two. Using modern lights, appliances and mirrors. That plastic toilet would be the first thing in the bin.
    Someday somebody is going to get an amazing bus. But at the rate of your love - for this unit - I doubt it'll be in your lifetime.

Since no one sees them they type things their Mother would or should have slapped their face for saying. I would love to take my kids on vacation in a beautiful bus like this, I am in no way financially able to offer what it is worth. I would need to sell my house and live in it, which I think I would enjoy. I hope you find someone that cares as much as you do for it and has the means to take proper care of it when it is not in use.

Don't know exactly why but it reminds me of my 1967 Chevy Sportvan I converted. Sad I had to let it go. Those memories won't easily fade though. I'd say you can relate. Don't think I've seen such elegance and functionality in another bus. Just wonderful! My fiance and I have been pondering on converting a school bus lately. Shame we probably won't be able to afford something rare and unique in itself. So guess We're just gonna have to make it that way! Again absolutely great what you have done there.

    Much respect due you sir. As a former owner of a Prevost coach out of Orlando Florida as well as working on Prevost coaches in a custom shop crafting MDP (main distribution panels) and wiring harnesses from tail to front turn signals I appreciate and applaud your attention to detail and your passion for your personal coach. I also owned an Airstream classic 345 for a short time intending to refurbish from stem to stern. Wonderful design and classic class A style. Alas the years caught up with the wife and I and strength youth and stamina is gone and we sold our coach. It is good to hear and see another man of some years talk about his coach in a forthright, upstanding manner. Be well, you've a fine unit.

    Fine looking bus. Everything is well thought out and constructed. These real road busses ride nice and I bet this rides like a dream. The back door to the bathroom makes perfect sense and keeps the kids from tracking sand into the front and back end of the bus. Nice big bathroom and shower!..Good work!

    Iv`e looked at a lot of converted buses on you tube and i think this is the finest looking bus out there, you have it set up really well, if i could afford it i`d rather have have your bus than a new one, thankyou for sharing, your video was a pleasure to watch.
