Ok, time to go ahead and start my new project thread, even though I haven't taken physical possession of the bus yet.

One caveat though.... this particular bus was actually my second choice... the one I was trying for someone else snatched it out from under me. This one is fundamentally identical, except for having 30k more miles.

That being said.... meet Jasmine:



Oh wait... wrong Jasmine. However she is the inspiration behind the name.

As a level 1 burglar, Bilbo got a pony when he accompanied the level 60 dwarves on the Smaug the Dragon raid. Those powerlevelers probably invited him solely so he could trigger fellowship attacks for them.

The bus is a 2005 so that makes it 11 years old (or 12, depending on when it was built). Jasmine is 19.

So.... I received the 10 gallon water heater I ordered today... however the access door I ordered with it did not show up. Have already contacted the company to find out what's going on with that.

Dayum.... this sucker is a LOT bigger than I expected.



The other day I received the 50 amp power cord and inlet, so I'm getting off to a pretty good start I guess.

After reaching out to the company I ordered the water heater from, they are shipping the door 2nd day FedEx on their dime since it was their error. Should be here Friday or Monday.

Chris: It's a 2005 so it is a lot newer than most of the conversions you see. Paying a bit more than I would like ($7500) but it's worth it to me.

I will be picking it up as soon as the money hits the bank (should be tomorrow) then I have to get up to Whitestown IN so it may be the first part of next week.

CarytownCat: Yes, all it took was a phone call to the company, told them what happened.... apparently the door was picked but for whatever reason never shipped. Mistakes happen, I get that.... the fact that they made it right so quickly means I'll probably order from them again... in fact I have a shopping cart ready to go with my city water inlet/tank fill, water pump, strainer, pressure regulator, accumulator tank and supply hose. With the sale they have going right now I'm getting all that for less than $200.
