I give you a short overview of my tow kit. If you are interested, a more detailed video will be coming soon. I then head North to the Bus Fair where I filmed for Tiny Home Tours and met a bunch of cool people!
Well, hello everybody, so it's been a little bit of a gap from traveling in the bus
Today's video is going to be the bus fare up to the end of the bus fare right after I get this video
Finished exported uploaded. I'm starting on the next video basically over the next couple days
My main priority is just to get everything caught up get the videos up to
Present day got a lot of fun projects coming up a lot of cool things happening
While I'm here in Indiana
I'm going to be
Basically going over different aspects of the rig for example the tow kit how I have specific things set up in here
So if you do have any questions if there's anything about this setup that you have questions about please leave it in the comments down
Below I'm gonna be you know, like I said making videos on every little aspect of the bus to be honest
I don't know what the footage is gonna look like after this because I was pretty much filming non-stop
It was just traveling the bus me holding the camera saying hey here. I am now. I'm going here
So I honestly don't even know if that's gonna be worth posting
But I'll go ahead and look at that footage get that edited. Hopefully you all like it
Welcome to all the new subscribers the video the build video from basically when I picked it up to pretty much where it's at now
It keeps doing pretty well
So there's a lot of new people welcome to all the new people and we will catch you within the next couple days
Morning, everybody
Man, I pushed it pretty hard last night
not incorrigible, but
Right now I am going through the bus starting here in the front. I'm gonna start cleaning and work my way
to the back of the bus
Show is in
Just to be there in two days, I got about I think it was six hours left to drive
I'm actually considering just hanging out here all day
It's a very very beautiful
rest area
the roads and
The diesel price here in California is not good
But goodness they do have some good rest areas, so just go through the bus do a deep clean once again
I've realized once I started painting everything started getting this
You know looking a little bit more organized and finished. I have found myself
wanting to clean more
Which you know makes sense before is just like almost a construction zone
Just felt as though you know, it's a construction zone why pretty it up and now we're we're getting there but show you
What the
Element looks like back here still trying to figure out a name for the rig
and I haven't tried to
Haven't tried to start it make sure the transmissions good. Yes, what's gonna go to the grocery store, but
Don't necessarily do anything. I just kind of wanted to drive the car. But yeah, check her out Honda elements
So I went with Roadmaster
Got the Nighthawk
Towbar on the front they did have to take the front
Grill cover off which you know be nice to have it on there, but I don't necessarily need it tow shop did a custom hitch
Pretty awesome looking rig. I
Do have a backup camera. I need to get it installed. It'd be nice to see what's back there
I literally pulled over to make sure that it was back there because I couldn't see anything
And I just drove is like make sure they was good
So I pulled over on the side of the the highway just look back here and make sure that the the element was still here
Be out the bus
Doesn't even notice it's there like I I can feel it moving around a little bit but to be honest
the bus in terms of acceleration and braking
Can't even tell it's there does have a brake assist on there, but that's more for
Legal reasons and the bus actually needing it. There's no way the bus
Like I said, it doesn't even realize it's there
But I am excited to get this thing unhooked make sure the transmissions good
same thing happened with
the car that G and I towed
to the point to where
First time I unhooked it
Starting it up made sure the transmission was good
You know, it's just always a little nerve-wracking with these Hondas
Because I have to do the same
Sequence that I did with the Accord where I have to put it in
First second third drive then neutral and let it idle for three minutes
so
Kobe's just ate not too long ago and
Then we're just gonna be hanging outside for I bring my laptop get some work done out there
Let him hang out in the grass. It is so much nicer here
Like it's probably high 60s low 70s here
Whereas at 930 in the morning down in Fresno, it was already up to like 85 90 so
Glad we made it this far north gonna get to work
Cleaning this bus
It's time to
I got to now scream
Leave without you
Cuz we're all
looking for
somebody else
And all this joy has been worth the hurt that I
made it I
missed the
initial turnoff, so
What happened was?
The grocery store is right there and I was looking up there and all the buses are parked over here
Might be able to make it out
That area right there
If that truck leaves I can kind of go at an angle and then out
They're gonna be fine. The elements actually track it really really well behind the bus
Hardly, even though it's there
So I'm gonna go say hello to everybody
Okay
Unhook the tow car and
Transmission worked
So Coby's and I are gonna drive the bus over I'm gonna get a ride back with Brad probably Brad is on my
Tiny home tours team. He's gonna be filming for me. He's actually gonna film
The tour that I do of this bus
And I don't hook the car
Just to make sure that I had my my angle right here
Because you can't back up
with the tow bar
Looks like I would have been perfectly fine. But
Whether be safe than sorry and not block this four-lane road. Oh, yeah, I've been perfectly fine
but at least I know the
Transmissions good at the rest stop. So
Okay. Thank you
All right. Thank you. We got our spots
following this bus in
pretty cool guy
lives out in the forest. He's a
Lift operator and mechanic so he's just living in his bus
Saving money
Living where he wants to live
All right. Yeah, that's what they all say
Won't you be mine
What are you hiding behind
But this time I see a flicker
Don't you dare let it expire
Locked in
Like that, it's so sad follows me about
These chains
Around my bone
Yeah
