Re: Church Bus

Taking the back heater unit out....left the front unit in so i could have heat while driving. plan on heating the back living area with a wood stove and roof mounted a/c unit with a heat strip.

Re: Church Bus

I purchased the bus for only 2000 dollars from a Church in Tennessee. It had 52,000 miles on it and starts faster than my Jeep. Its a 1990 and has been kept in great shape. I couldn't have asked for a better find.

Re: Church Bus

ya loma it kinda is....from what i can tell the heat strips will only get ya to about 60 Degrees. Its more of a nice option then a source of heat. That will be the wood stoves job. The a/c unit will be more for cooling things off then heating them up! you have any experience/advice on those heat strips....even worth the extra money to have them?
