This is the coach that came out of MD. Was a VA/MD ownership trail. Bought it off eBay though.

Wow!
That is great. And how very creative. Imagine, all I use mine for is camping!! I can't wait to see it in person.

Photos seem to be a bit too small...I like what I can see though. Also look forward to a personal tour.

So, Alan ... how do I post to my own photo gallery?? I've been trying to figure out how to do this for a bit.
It was my first go round with the digital camera, can't tell you where I borrowed it from...or I'd have to kill you!!
I'll do better when I have time and a camera I'm familiar with. I installed the two vents down the centerline before leaving this week and have Julie bringing some more duct board with her tonight so that when she goes home on Sunday I can work here at Paris Mt. State Park and likely finish up the duct/plenum connection. I really do like that the a/c is mounted way back and is working on "auto" with the thermostat so it is both quiet and turns itself on and off to save energy.
The new stereo / flat screen is a blast. All I have to do is push the mode button to check my rear view camera. Got the satalite radio working this week as well... finally got the music back!!

Glen sounds like you are having fun with the whole thing. Bet once you really start traveling in it you will get a whole lot of good conversation started.
As for the photos, if you have trouble let me know, I can email you some suggestions. Digital photography is great, but its still requires somewhat of an eye, to be sure you get and show what you want in the best way.

Alan, thanks for the offer of help. FWIW I'm a former commercial photog. who worked as and editorial shooter in the aviation industy. Everything on Kodachrome back then... I tell people that back in '88 I had my 15 Months of fame. New cameras take time to sort out. I got about 15 minutes to shoot those photos late one night after installing the seats, before the camera had to go back to the government.
As far as starting to travel ... I've put about three thousand miles on the bus so far. I'm writing this from Paris Mountain State Park in Greenville SC today. Julie has left to return home and I'm going to work the area tomorrow and Tuesday before returning home.
Saturday we will travel from Sumter to Wilmington NC to drop two cars. Then it's on to Asheville where I'll leave the bus for the first three days of Cycle NC. I'll catch a planned ride back to the bus after riding 70 miles a day for 3 days, then follow the route as Julie and her sister and boyfriend from Colorado finish the ride Saturday in Wilmington.
Then it's up to Nags Head to work my way back south and home finally.... so the fun has begun!!
I'm actually working on the ducting and hope to finish up that project today. Might even install the new nose art logos as they arrived this week too.
