Welcome to Omnibus-MI.us, the home of The Phase Place. We are Bruce & Linda.
Construction on this website began on January 26, 2013, with our first blog post on June 7, 2013. We have been posting somewhat regularly since then, but there are occasional gaps.
Pictured above is our motorhome, a 1991 Prevost H3-40 VIP motorcoach. It left the Prevost factory in August 1990 and went directly to Royale Coach (Monaco) Inc. in Elkhart, Indiana to be converted into a motorhome. Royale Coach finished the conversion for the original owner in October 1991 and titled it as a 1992. We are the 4th owners. It’s shown here with its new paint job from Phoenix Paint in Edwardsburg, MI, as featured in the February 2013 issue of Bus Conversion Magazine (BCM). Since this photo was taken, we have redone many of its systems and posted about the work here, as well as in articles for BCM. Bruce has also posted blog entries and photos about our travels in this converted coach, as well as projects on other bus conversions. We have had over 50 articles published in BCM.
In fall 2019 we took delivery of a 2020 Airstream Flying Cloud 27′ Front-bed Twin travel trailer, and have used it for our RV travels ever since. (It is well-represented in many blog posts.)
We went on a vegan cruise (Holistic Holiday at Sea, put on by Taste of Health out of Miami, Florida) in 2012 and again in 2013. We enjoyed it, but did not cruise again until February 2023, when we joined friends for a transit of the Panama Canal. We really enjoyed that experience, and are now (January 2025) mixing in cruising with RVing.
Our other interests include amateur (ham) radio, photography, and a whole-food plant-based way of eating, along with our home/property, family, and friends. Separate pages address some of these interests, and blog entries are categorized by one or more of those things.
Our favorite site for unbiased, well-researched information on whole-food, plant-based (WFPB) human nutrition is:
