Our *county* has one traffic signal... and we're very proud of it. This is downtown:



I mean, like, it's ALL of downtown.

OK, town actually extends some blocks each direction. But it sounds good.

My kind of town.... the town my grandpa lived in had a population of maybe 1000 at most, the downtown was a little bigger than that, maybe a hundred acres of somewhat spaced out stores though the town limits were rather farther out since it was a farming community.

Shoot.... Where I grew up, rich folks used round balers.
Stacked more hay in those FRICKIN FRACKIN #%#**%##%% hot assed hay barns than I care to remember!
I think we split 5 cents a bale 3 ways... (Loader/catcher/driver all split a nickel)

Ok... so... I'm aware that my metal ceiling will get wet somewhat. A little air circulation and maybe some "damp rid" can probably take care of that. What I want to know is is this a HUGE issue or a minor issue? I'm not going to live in this bus year round. Gonna go camping. Sometimes I'll camp for a month or two but it won't likely be in below freezing weather. I don't think my wife would put up with that. A day or two here and there perhaps. Let's not suggest ripping the inner sheet metal ceiling apart unless I'm gonna need an Ark. Is someone suggesting I'm gonna have rain for fourty days and nights or is my hair gonna occasionally get damp as it brushes across the ceiling when I get up in the morning? There is a big difference. Has anyone had the occasion to see big drops hanging all over their ceiling? If so, what were the circumstances?

Thank you!

Ross

While I did remove the ceiling and insulate, I replaced all the metal and then used contact cement to glue short nap automotive carpet to the metal. The carpet works like a layer of open celled insulation and so far I've had no sign of condensation. I heat and cook with propane for the most part. I should also mention that the carpet made a HUGE difference in the noise level in the bus.
