We are Maddy and Zach, we bought a school bus to convert into a tiny house 3 years ago. Now, after 3 years of hard work, we are finally starting our adventure! This week we drive to Colorado and stay off the grid for the first time!
Help us move in! 🚌 If you can, thanks! If not, that's totally fine too!

We hope you enjoyed this video and consider subscribing to watch us build out this old-school bus and travel all around North America!

Happy travels guys! Since you have air brakes, when it is time to go downhill, choose a lower gear to let the engine do some work. You never want to ride your brakes all the way to the bottom. They can heat up and start fading, I know you don't need a CDL for that particular bus but there are some tips in the manual. Your bus is not too big but you have extra weight with the build. Keep up the good work and have fun. Safety first!

I would have expected better mpg too, althogh Cats are known to not have the best mpg. I would have still expected better than that though. Like maybe 8 or 9 where I hear the Cummins buses of this era to be getting 9 to 11 mpg. Yes, use that fuel app, along with gas buddy since gas buddy will usually include convenience stores and other stations, not just truck stops. In OK, I usually get my diesel at On Cue, 7-11, Quick Trips etc. Truck stops seem to be .40 to .80 cents more a gallon consistantly. Recently I've paid $2.99 to $3.39 and the truck stops are $3.69 to $4.09. Quite a difference.

Yeah Thankfully we found it gets closer to 9 mpg! Gas buddy was a lifesaver on this trip!

@@maddyandzach That's great and more like it. I have a 2005 Vision with a Cat C7, and a 2010 Vision with the Cummins 6.7ISB. Both of mine get about exactly what most people claim. The Cummins is 9-11, and the Cat C7 is 8-9. The Cat for sure has more torque than the Cummins. Meaning, it's not any faster, but for pulling and carrying weight, or pulling hills, The Cat C7 will hold cruise controll speed of 70 on small hills and the Cummins kinda falls on it's face and will drop to about 60 from 70 until the road levels back off a bit. So I'm glad you guys are getting the 9 you should be. Gas buddy will save you a fortune. So you have a 60 gallon tank in yours I"m sure. My 2010 Handy bus has a 60, my full grown 2005 has a 100 gallon. So if get fuel in the 2010, it's usally close to 50 gallons when I get fuel. But if I stay away from the truck stops and save .60 cents a gallon, that's $30 I get to keep everytime I get fuel. In the 2005, it's usualy like 80 gallons I'm getting so it saves me $48. Those figures add up quick.

Hi Again Maddy and Zac, This comment concerns your fuel economy and the bus's lack of power when it has to climb a mountain. Does the transmission have an overdrive? Does the bus have a two speed axle? If it was basically used on a route or probably doesn't have either. You could look into getting a two speed axle for your model. The name is misleading because the unit either mounts just ahead of the differential or right behind the transmission. It gives you a higher gear for cruising (better fuel economy) and lower gears for hills and mountains.

Hi Maddy &Zac, Congratulations on your 1st camping trip. How did Maddy's car get to Denver and do you plan on taking it with you? Are you going to drive it or tow it behind the bus? Do you plan on going south from Keystone and visit Alma and Fairplay?

Thank you! Zach's parents drove Maddy's car to denver for us and Maddy will be driving it behind the bus. And yes we did stay in Fairplay and drove through Alma!
