The limited responce to Vivs new bus is not reflective in the number of views this thread has generated. The silence is deffining

Darrell I for one never thought she would buy but I have a hard enough time reading people in person much less over the wire so my opinion on that carried little weight.

I also decided to put other steriotypical opinions aside (age) and be polite and offer sound advice and help out where I could, that was it.

She initally had me look on line at then call the owner of an 88 American Conversion.
A middle age gentlmen alot like myself. Owner opporator 54yrs old drives a Pete works on it himself, Same with the bus. After he was pretty confident I was comming down to look and I thought I had convinced him I would find almost everything he insisted the only components not working are the 2 e-spar heaters. OTR A/C and working well 3 yr old skinns glass mat batts new, recent service, straight clean no leaks.

So I called Viv back and instead of sending me down SHE WENT, I love it.

I coached her and coached her and from the looks of it it all worked out.

The fellow and his entire family took her under their wing and she has been there for 5 days now living on board and learning.


Now the seller has agreed to deliver it for her with her to New Jersey, how fantastic is that. I told that guy to stretch his brakes till the next time he came through Chicago and I would gladly put shoes and spring kits on his tractor trlr for him rotate his tires and have him over for dinner.

I can not wait to party with her this Feburary at the Elks club where she winters in Florida.
