      I love their coach/home.. but it seems so low to the ground. Is there some springs or whatever that raises the bus when they travel?

    • @chezmoi42
      @chezmoi42 2 роки тому +5

      @@enzyme35 I noticed that, too, so I checked it out. The specs indicate that they offer 'Full Coach Raise & Lowering' to facilitate ADA ramp entry. The family probably brings it down when they're in 'living' mode.

      Correct, when the bus is running and airs up the suspension comes up about 6 inches for ride height.

      @@chrisstrube5909 I'm not in the least mechanical, but I knew what to look for because my husband used to drive a Citroën DS with hydropneumatic suspension. I always found it eerie to see it rise and lower; I called it 'The Shark'.

      Isn’t that law in the US? In Europe you‘re not allowed to transport anyone that’s not securely belted down. Even if you travel by a commercial coach you need to wear a seatbelt.

    Have you ever been to Southern Illinois? As long as you have skills to either work from a computer, or work anywhere (construction, etc.), Southern Illinois is a beautiful area to settle. There is a little town called Makanda, that provides many areas where you can purchase land. Makanda has a very layed back vibe for folks who like to live off the land and enjoy the nature around us! Just north of Makanda is a major State University. With that brings a lot of culture and variety to the area!

    Agree with great esthetics and function of the bus. Realize you might not want your kids in the video but would have been nice to hear ages and how many kids, puppies usually travel and how you manage. . Bus looks very low riding but I don't know anything about bus suspensions. Must have cost a mint to buy and build the bus out. Definitely not an inexpensive bus. Good luck and safe travels.

      The bus airs up when running so the suspension comes up about 6”. Our kids are 16, 14, 10, 9 and 4. The oldest are with us sometimes and not others so we can get away with smaller sleeping areas.

    Excellent and well-thought out build. I'm curious as to how you linked the 3 propane tanks together as the standard RV regulator only allows for two tanks. The long hallway concept is innovative and removes that tunnel feel seen so often on bus conversions.
