    Freightliner ambulance conversion project.

    It's hard waking to a scene like this. Yesterday we did over 100 miles of tree lined 2 lane road without a stop sign or traffic lights. I had no idea anything like this existed in the USA. Fantastic.

    Bugger. Looks like a stop at the outfitters for some mud boots. Not much use for them or raincoats in Phoenix. Might even need to rethink the solar strategy.

    Did the southern route twice now. Once to pickup the Sportsmobile and once with the Freightliner.

    On the Natchez Trail Parkway heading north now. We said when we hit Mississippi we would slow down and have a look around.

    We are officially in the East (I think). Mississippi River. Actually I know it's the Mississippi but I think that is officially the East.

    A bit of each. So far 1 night at a rest area, 1 night at a state park campground and then 1 night at a Walmart. Sleeping and generally eating in the vehicle except where we are just trying to make miles.

    Good day today. 250 miles without taking the cruise control off. Finished with Texas. And averaging 10mpg. I'm happy with that.

    Couldn't have that. The quality of your work would show me up. [emoji1]

    Cruise control is for wimps. Yep and I am a wimp. It is the best improvement I have done to this vehicle bar none. We did the following after working all day and hitting the road at 6:30

    Yep we will be at expo east in the feature vehicles area. Look for the boxing Kangaroo flag.

    Gentle in a "hold my beer and watch this" sort of a way. And I can strap a tire to the. Ike rack if I have to. But it is only a tire without a rim. These tires are hard to come by so I figured if I have a catastrophic failure I have a tire someone else can fit for me. And small punctures etc...

    I'm too tired for a long winded description. But short story. Spare tire is on the roof.

    Even though I have a hard deadline to start heading east I did some fancy work today. I like my bumpers black, don't know why but I just do. So this one being all desert sand color sort of stuck out. I had a dozen cans of the Plastidip stuff from when I was going to turn my shiny alloys black...

    From Freightliner ambulance to RV - we hope!

    Oops!!! Guess what just got delivered from Amazon. Ah well at less than $10 each they will look cool during the daytime.

    I did try them out yesterday. Definitely didn't cause any problems (my first worry). I did not take any pre/post vibration measurements, just ran out of time. But seat of the pants I think it has smoothed the front end down. I can sit on 65 mph with just my fingertips on the steering wheel and...
