I'm telling you, we bought this thing to camp in it. The fact that it's a cool old bus is just bonus. I still don't think there's a better camper for two people all things considered... price, size, maneuverability, economy, etc... I'm preaching to the choir.hambone wrote:How we keep these antiques on the road is beyond me...
And then to put them thru hard use. The nerve I tells ya.

Well nothing too out of the ordinary on the valve adjustment. One at 0.004, one at 0.005 and a couple at 0.007. Hoping this thing settles in like the other one never did.
A humorous side note... I'd say maybe 25% of the time after I do the valves I get up front and crank the engine over a couple times before remembering that the distributor cap is still off. Doh!
