If I were to drive with a wood stove I'd take the stove pipe and stove out and put them in the bays, that's if you have under bus storage, and put the window back in.

I saw a bunch of turbo'd 671 mid-engine Crowns going through auction about 10 to 15 years ago. They were the 10 wheelers.

I'd say weak batteries and some current draw when shutdown. A multimeter with a clamp-on DC ammeter would be a most helpful tool to troubleshoot pesky current draw. Also, a battery disconnect switch...

I don't know, but I do have tropi-kool on my bus roof. 4-plus years and you wash it, it's white. It's a smooth rubber coating, and can be a bit delicate. But white it is.

I have never witnessed a truck or car tire explode, but I have on hi-pressure bicycle tires. Sounds like a 12 gauge was shot, and if you're close it almost feels like you were too.

I just remember when Home Depot sold 3/4 inch cabinet grade plywood for about $25. That's what I built my bus with. It was only for a few years after the housing crash, and at Christmas time.:smile:
