Rickey didn’t want to end up in a nursing home after a lifetime of adventure, teaching English and truck-driving, so he used his handy skills to transform a 1968 bus into his home — and he tows it with a 1929 Ford!
He designed the exterior of the rig to look like the red Angry Bird, complete with some awesome eye decals. Rickey loves being part of the nomadic community and helping others with his mechanical skills. Enjoy his tour below.

OMG. My eyes hurt after looking at this. I apologize but this whole thing is a hot mess. I’m sorry you’re disabled.
I don’t know where to start. Everything doggone thing about this bus and hauler is amazing! The nail in the cabinet door is genius. The back porch is wonderful, and how clever to use the front of the bus as a bedroom! It’s just all so cool! Be proud! There’s nothing like belonging to a close knit family, and sometimes family isn’t blood kin. Sometimes it’s spirit kin, and often that’s the closest most enduring kind. Enjoy your life with your kin and be safe. Happy trails : )
Now this made me smile. Reminds me of the song “I did it My Way”! To each their own, as long as it makes you happy and hurts no one.
Lovely attitude and great skills.
Interesting home with all the comforts.
