Right?! 30k is over my family of three's yearly income. X'D just another dream for the rich I guess.

I shared every little expense with you so that you can adjust it to your own income and needs. You can park for free most nights, you can spend much less on food by not buying expensive food like we do, and most importantly you don't have to drive 12K miles in a bus in 6 months. Plenty of families out there doing it much cheaper.

Thank you!

Hey thanks so much. Really glad you appreciated it!

It was sad for us and sad for our dog and I'm sad that it's made you sad too!

Where is he now??!

@@astr3298 As soon as we got back home we picked her up and she's with us now. At the moment our pace of travel is much different and we aren't faced with 100 degree plus days in the Arizona and Utah desert like last summer.

@@MobileDwellings nice to hear

Thank you! Glad you got some value from our video!

That sounds like a fantastic life and I'm so sorry that you've had to take up the horrible fight against cancer.

I agree

@@astr3298 His build is awesome, but 80k is way beyond my budget. Plus 2 kids in a tiny bus and we'd go nuts.

@@justinfowler2857 you can get an old used bus for like 5k, to make it an rv really just toss a propane stove and a mattress in it lol

@@BigCroca Old buses that go for $5k might have some issues with the tranny or engine or other expensive parts (bad tires) that aren’t easily seen and which could show up about 10 miles down a dirt road out in the middle of nowhere. Are you ready for no wifi, no cell reception, and no way back? Just mentioning it because this video was about a man with his wife and toddler. If you travel alone, it’s only your life at risk. Just something to consider.

Love the 8.3 Cummins with an great Allison Transmission. Sweet bus! I hope the build goes well!

Hey Victor. If you're in Philly I'll definitely come meet you. gilliganphantom@gmail.com hit me up. Thanks!

As a suggestion, AAA (American Automobile Association) do have emergency travel medical insurance coverages for an ENTIRE YEAR (about $500 per person for one year) which you pay upfront which works in EVERY STATE and IN CANADA too! I think it's called TravelGold or something similar these days. It pays doctors right away and protects you against sickness and accident wherever you go. This multi-state coverage just needs a few small forms to fill out and some previous medical history and is a GREAT way to cover catastrophic emergency medical expenses. Blue Cross ALSO offers individual secondary medical checkup and minor medical expense plans that work in almost all states IF you stay in their nation-wide hospital and doctor networks. They can also be bought on an entire-year's basis upfront so you don't have to worry about monthly premiums. When purchased with the TravelGold plans, these combined coverages lets you cover many typical medical and dental expenses except for pregnancy which requires an extras and fairly expensive rider policy. Just remember to STAY in the urgent care and hospital networks proscribed and you are fine for coverage! For Canadians who are interested in this type of coverage, CAA (Canadian Automobile Association) and their individual provincial groups (i.e. BCAA) have the same type of yearly TravelGold emergency medical travel insurance plans which you purchase in concert with a Blue Cross medical/dental plan for form a unified an quite inexpensive insurance system that works in BOTH Canada and the USA! If you ALSO get the AAA or CAA road care coverages, a lot of other hotel/campground/attraction discounts are available AND many towing charges could be insured for and taken care of for a mere $100 per year plus you get those free really thick maps and attractions books which are very handy to plan your country-wide tours! v

Oregon was very cool! Especially along the coast. I don't think we'll ever leave our family on the east coast though.

Yes and it's amazing

One time. And when we drove away they ran after us and invited us to come back lol. But RV parks are not the point of this lifestyle. They generally cost $45+ and offer little amenities and we don't need their hookups so what's the point? National park and state campgrounds and free camping and harvest hosts is the way to go.

If I don't go out to eat, I can just barely survive on $400/mo for food.

I thought we'd spend less too

He posted a video a while back and it was 80k. Yikes!!

@@justinfowler2857 that's to much

Hi Ladonna. I can do remote consulting to help you expedite the building and decision making process, but I can't take on any labor at this time. Feel free to send me an email at gilliganphantom@gmail.com or there are professional bus builders in most areas of the country. Thanks!

Ron you've gotta read between the lines a little. The only reason that I told you every dollar we spent is so that you can adapt this info to your own life. In the end...if you want...living in a bus is going to cost the same for you as living in a house. OR don't drive 12,000 miles and save $5K in fuel plus the maintenance. Don't have a family? Great you can spend less on food. Don't have a couple hundred a month to spend on stuff? No problem. Got real problems? Tell us about them. maybe me or somebody here can help.

Medicare works only because the debt is being accumulated for later generations to pay off. What we need is to control health costs. Like $848.00 for 10 migraine pills. Yet is sold in other countries for far less.

@@justinfowler2857 Both need to happen, we are the only wealthy Country in the world that doesn't have decent health care and that's because ours is run by scam artist insurance companies

@@zedwolf1589 Exactly. We have the most expensive yet have one of the highest mortality rate in the world. I wasn't kidding about the migraine pills. That's actually what gets charged to my insurance. Shitty part is they don't even work that well.

@@justinfowler2857 Yeah I take imetrex for my migraines too, l also take a once a month shot that's $680. But with Medicare and what CA picks up all of its under $10. We're getting scammed and screwed over

@@zedwolf1589 10 migraine pills costs 10$ in Norway... Isn't that manufacturer price? We pay for it ourselves in Norway, unless we get a prescription from the doctor, then it's free.

That would be absolutely amazing!!!

And it would be incredibly impractical😂 Not much space for batteries after the big motor(s) needed. Range wouldn't be great.

Lol for real.

I lived in Sri Lanka for over a year

Not really

kzfaq.info/sun/PLXxV2294FuOhB9abZ63YIyZ85bC6vZVXS hope you see it......🙃

Honestly it's insane

More than some people’s rent !

True but it most likely keep their health costs low moving forward
