It's really nice to hear someone who's happy with their bus. Lots of times the bus is governed or geared to max out at 50, the engine has a loud knock, needs 6 tires, won't start, won't stop...
I kind like the blue stripe, on my phone I didn't realize it was tape. Oh, what are "E-windows"?
Thanks for the refreshing thread.

Nice bus... As a former OTR trucker, I'd like to suggest that when it is necessary to use truck / bus parking in rest areas or truck stops, it's a good idea to park with the rear edging the back of pull-through spaces, and the nose edging the front of back-in spaces. Makes it easier for truckers to tell the space is occupied before pulling part-way in and having to back out and find another space. It's also not a bad idea to leave some running lights on as well, at night. Prevents a lot of hassle. I've seen more than one RV destroyed because it wasn't seen until it was too late.

Good tips there, Cheeze_Wagon.

good ideas for sure! also if a rest area or such has separate RV spacves or bus spaces, use those instead of the trucker spaces if you can.. truck-space is at a premium anbd while your bus will fit in a trailer / rv / bus space, a trucker cannot fit in
