Haha! I don't begrudge anyone for making a living. Time is valuable. But these videos are a sideline for me, and fun, so I don't ever beg for likes or subscriptions. Thanks for your support and kind comment!
I think the distinction between people giving away their advice and knowledge for free versus paid support is if they do it for hobby or make a living off it. I do IT work for my day job and if people need computer help I usually won't spend much time on that with people for free, I'm going to charge for my time. On the flip side when I'm doing bus stuff or home improvement projects (or talking about Teslas) I can ramble on about that for hours without even thinking about money because it's hobby and fun, not work. That being said, some of the best advice and experience comes from people who it for a living and not as a hobby - to a degree, you get what you pay for.
@@thetslabus Well put. And I do charge for system designs or actual work I do...we need to eat, too. But I see the videos as a community service. And I enjoy them.
I had a motor home with tag axial. I believe they leveled the home as you rounded the corner. I do remember they charged more on toll roads because they charged by the axial.
Napa has the fill chuck like you showed, and it locks on by rocking sideways and binding on the threads. Harbor freight has the 150psi pop out gauge you showed. I have a 2005 RE300 and the rear air springs have held position for 4 months without leaking, how rare is that? Ps when buying a 31 make sure it's a starting battery not a deep cycle
Good call...I get spoiled by my Napa, especially, since they have a huge warehouse of heavy truck parts too. So I didn't want to assume all Napas had those. I was thinking more of the Auto Zone and O'Reilly kinds and I could imagine new bus owners looking for straight gauges there. But Napa for the win. And that's an impressive lack of leakage...very nice!
@@BTimmer Right on. When you see either of them, give them a hug from me. I was honored to inherit the green KLR from Eva when she upgraded. And I remember when she and Sterling met...they share so much...truly living life. 😁
thoroughly enjoying your videos. learning a lot too. Im currently searching for a bus. Fairly open minded but must be vintage or at least look is as does a crown. Not easy to find though. know of anything interesting for sale?
"I think the term 'puller' is kinda stupid" - wholeheartedly agree!
Great video, Ross.
Thanks! And thanks for the support. I had fun with this one.
From that person you met on Facebook asking about the "bus walk through for noobs", thank you! ❤
Well, thank you for the inspiration and the support. 🙂
I learned so much about mechanics. I've heard the words before but never understood until now. Thank you!
Well, thank you for watching! Glad I could help a bit. 🙂
Thanks for sharing your knowledge of buses and electrical systems freely.

Nice tutorial! I love a flat face, front engine bus. They're just cool looking. Did you say what year it is?

She's also on the YT channel "Motorcycle Travel Channel". She's a very accomplished m/c rider as well along with her boyfriend.
Yup, she does so much cool stuff...too much to list. And Sterling makes amazing motorcycle and travel films. They are truly good people.
@@RollingLiving Yes he does. I've known him for about 15 years.

Ross I love your videos and all the knowledge you share! The Joe Biden clip got me😂😂
Haha, thanks!
Sorry I'm late asking a question but would it be okay to just keep the heater by the driver if you're driving in colder areas?
Yes, absolutely! I would always encourage keeping the heater up front, for your comfort and for the defrost function.
