Re: Good News Bus Conversion Project

Today we decided to go ahead and change the color on the grill. The silver paint that we had used was actually indoor paint (found out later) so it was starting to crack. We went ahead and painted it white.



What do you guys think? Good change?

Water Heater!

Today we received our hot water heater.

It is a instant hot systems that fits right where a standard RV water heater goes.



I spoke with a guy named Steve at: http://www.globaltowne.com.

He said if you mention the "Good News Bus Project" that they would give a discount to anyone wanting to purchase the RV-500 water heater. I also have more info on the blog regarding the heater. Check it out and let me know what you guys think.
