Posting answers to your questions here will tend to send this thread in a totally different direction.
Starting a new thread is as simple as registering, picking a topic area in which your question will fit the best, and then posting your question.
Using the SEARCH button in the tool bar up above here can many times help you find the answer to your question. Most of the questions are not new or exclusive to your problem but more than likely the answer will solve your issue.
Good luck!

Thank you!

Hi there Wandering Dot... don't mind our residence funny guys 
You have come to the right place!!!
So, on the main page (press Home), if you scroll down, you will see the different subjects. Under one of the ORANGE headings called SKOOLIE TECH, you will see the very first one is for electrical and wiring. Click on that. And then click on the black box NEW THREAD... and ask away!
Alternatively, you can use the Search feature (which is kind of hidden in all the stuff up above) squished between New Posts and Quick Links... in there you can type something like electrical wiring diagrams, you might be shocked what you come up with!
This is a big family... of the most helpful, generous and experienced (at least in something) people, you could ever meet.
WELCOME 
Sandi

It looks terrible on tv- people are just getting out with their shirts on their back. They got 3 feet of rain in few days.
When you think of all the time and energy invested in your skoolie, house, car and to have it all just drowned in brown water. awful.
Prayers to Texas !

I'm blessed to say I am high and dry. The little chemical plant that had the issues, is about 10 miles East of us, so the wind kept it's fumes away, from us too.
I know that Tango has some water issues, but he said the bus, and shop were OK. Phatman's bus is OK (I think). I don't know about others, but hope that they are Ok, as well.

I'll second the Chicken Bus choice...it would blend right in. Only problem will be 39 people (with chickens) jumping on it every time you come to a stop.
Have fun and keep us up on your progress.

Welcome to "the farm" We love pictures, and yours will be no exception. Be patient, cause before you will be able to post pics. you need to have a handful of non-picture posts. Start by telling us about yourself, then perhaps, another post giving details of your bus. etc. etc. THEN bingo you will magically be able to share your heartthrob with us.
See ya!

Forgot to suggest that you start a new thread under the Intro section or any of the topics listed in the forum. That way your posts won't get buried in this section.
good luck
