I got some good answers in my thread about propane storage but I'm trying to figure out a bit more information on the typical usage for LP on board a bus. It's looking like I might get a...

Thanks Nat, that's a lot of weight but I...

Thanks, there's a lot to do with the website and I've been pretty wrapped up with course work and some personal stuff so the project has slowed down a bit. A few things have changed design wise so...

Re: Adventure Bus - Build Log

Well, plans tend to change a bit.

We may not be using the roof to transport sleds any longer. Sleds are great and rather fun but they get stuck pretty often, have no protection from the elements...
