Re: Bussin' It - the Conversion

Glad to hear the turn down solved your problem Does it also help with the soot on the back end of the bus? I notice a fine film of diesel exhaust particles on mine after a road trip

Re: Bussin' It - the Conversion

Hey jespers, im very close to purchaseing the Nole's packaged system that you are useing on your bus. I had called the people at Rv Solar Electric to ask some questions. they had told me that the system could not handle a window A/C unit. but i have read to your other web page that you have a A/C unit running off the electrical system? Am i missing something?
get back to me please.

Thanks
Mikey

Thanks again

Re: Bussin' It - the Conversion

pjespers

Your blog of building your bus is great. Your bus looks great.

I have seen all of these pictures before. Could it be that I saw them on another bus forum?

Great job on the bus build.

I still regret not having put a wood stove in mine.
