Hello Mela and Don, I am a retired bus mechanic with 34yrs at Trailways and Greyhound. I would like to point out a potentual problem with your alt. hook up. At 16:26 in your video I'm looking at the main alt cable and the support bracket off the back side of the alt., the insulation where the cable contacts the bracket is close to worn through which will ground that cable out and could burn up some electrical components and could cause a fire. I came up with an inexpensive fix that I installed on a lot of our buses. What you need to do is take that gold colored clamp loose by backing out that long bolt and cut a piece of 1/4 inch thick plastic that is an inch and a half by two inches and drill a hole for that long bolt to go through and put the plastic between the cable and clamp and the support bracket as an insulator.

Loving the video: Very outdoors and exploring. And the history. Keep on believing and finding a place. Funny when you have a break down. Change of plans happen, then you find the unexpected place. Nice". Regards from South Africa 🇿🇦 😀.

[@barrywhitlock141]

It is getting to be very expensive for you. I really hope that your long journey will be faultless with no more bus problems.

[@Rehabit8]

Us too! There’s a season for everything 😆 we are ready for the next season

[@aaronhancock8601]

it is a good idea to carry a spare set of fuel filters and a wrench to replace them.

[@Rehabit8]

Absolutely! Now that we’ve learned of this problem we have spares and will check regularly! 🙌

[@drsadventures]

Don, Mela nice to find a good mechanic not wanting to be a parts changer and hope it works out. We just completed a 7700 mile cross country trip (California to Virgina round trip) I was pushing it on my almost 9-year-old tires, but they still look like new and wanted to say look into Sumitomo tires. Just purchased our second set ($ 3,250.00- 275/70/22.5) and they are much cheaper than Michelin or Toyo.

[@rbnhood39]

Mela your hair looks really good.

[@Rehabit8]

Oh thank you!

So funny I remember that tiny home that was at the Organ Mt's area. I still have to find that area you are staying at. When I look for it the GPS always takes me to the office area. That Trailhead is usually pretty busy when it comes to finding a spot there. Dripping springs is a good place to be. I have a sticks and bricks home out here the Organ Mt.s convinced me this is a good place to have a home base.

[@BonnieHaley]

Hello 👋 ❤❤❤❤ I love y'all's video's thank you ❤❤❤❤

[@Rehabit8]

Thanks for watching Bonnie!

[@GinosGarageUSA]

Glad you guys will be back on the road. I would highly suggest looking into Toyo tires, they are great quality and great value compared to other name brand tires. I was able to get tires for my coach and it was around 4k for them.

[@celinaquiros9381]

I can't believe it was chilly out there. The beanies and jackets tell the tale. Glad you found a fairly good spot too. SOOOOO sorry about the bus, BUT I'm glad that the mechanic is doing his process of elimination starting with the less expensive items first, and who knows? It could be the result of a combination of the things he's eliminating. Hair looks nice. Always a relief! What a fun restaurant and town. I need to make it out to Las Cruces. I had a friend in college who was from there, and she and her family liked it. I feel like I owe it to her to see the place she loves. Need to order my merch. It looks really good, PLUS, I know people will ask me about it which will let me tell them about you guys and your diy and travel adventures! ;) I mean, the "two stars" part, not the best but it could be worse. Crossing my fingers about the shifty issues. Better days comin'!

[@Rehabit8]

Las Cruces is so charming! You must go visit Celina!

[@doncoleman4938]

I feel for you. We have about $10,000 in a maintenance fund, which we can use for breakdowns, repairs and preventative maintenance. Ours is an 8-speed manual gearbox, which are usually cheaper to fix but not as durable as an automatic transmission. Our biggest issue is that Australian national parks don't allow us to bring our cats into them, so we visit them in the car. Loving your videos. Nat and Don

[@Rehabit8]

I find that so strange! Why no cats? Can’t you just keep them inside?

[@doncoleman4938]

@@Rehabit8 That would be the sensible option. I think it's a blanket ruling as feral cats killing our native fauna is a big issue in Australia. But a ruling that states "No cats unleashed" would be a better ruling. We went to a Big Rigs motorhome get-together over Easter, and of about 50 motorhomes, probably 5 travelled with cats. More popular than I first imagined.

[@tammycruz8189]

Mela your absolutely Beautiful. Don has himself a beauty. Sorry about the bus troubles. Safe Travels Always. God Bless Ya'll. Mucho Love Always ❤️ ❤

[@Rehabit8]

Thanks so much

[@monicalifornia_]

After 3 years on the road (not ft) we decided we are balcony on the beach with room service folks. (it’s honestly about the same price). 😉

[@timaz1066]

I would suggest you look into putting a FASS filter pump set up on your bus. I have one on my 2000 Monaco Dynasty that I have been full-time in for five years. I waited until after I lost my injection pump. I had plans on doing that mod, but waited too long.

[@DrkNinja_]

It's been while since I caught a video from you guys (since the end of the build), youtube just hasn't pulled your videos for me for some reason; I'm glad to see you guys are doing well... ish lol. Hope all gets taken care of and you guys have safe travels. When my son comes over we'll binge some of you guys' videos he loved you guys as much as I did.

[@Rehabit8]

Welcome back! Sounds like a good binge watch is in order! Lots of people have complained recently about KZbin not notifying them about our new videos. You can now join patreon for free and that way you can get notified directly from us when new videos come out. Or join our mailing list for an email when a new video comes out.

[@johnnyhunter4345]

You are good people!

[@h5mind373]

Wow, terrific voices!

[@Rehabit8]

Thank you!

[@ReubenCornell]

Never before have I been so invested in a gearbox.

[@Rehabit8]

That made me lol!

[@douglasnieblas74]

A good episode would be a “behind the scenes”. It’d be great to see all the people behind your awesome videos. The shots are magnificent of the destinations even the shots of the bus eating up the scenery. The animal trainers which get those awesome shots with the kitties. Dating back to the bus build the cinematography is excellent and keeps us glued to the channel. Just an idea. Keep the wonderful videos coming.

[@Rehabit8]

It's not the haircut it's the experience

[@wadetyler5056]

Actually, La Posta serves New Mexican food, much more chile centric than Mexican food.

[@watahyahknow]

well they dont call it dripping springs if it was gushing out there now wouldnt thay

[@LamborghiniV12M]

You guys should have bought a schoolie. It would have been easier, cheaper and simpler to maintain. You did a schoolie build in this coach anyway. This coach is over your heads.

[@robertdomanski8862]

Let me think, you want us to buy your tires for $5000 well not me. Get a job and buy your own tires and don’t tell us that you already have a job ,good luck with that. You guys have no business travelling around USA in a beat up bus!

[@KamranNamdarpour]

Put a sock in it!

[@butterscotch467]

jealousy gets you no where. You dont like what they do FOR A LIVING then get of there KZbin channel.
