How Many Windows To Tin Over?

We are going to tin over the last half of the windows where our bunks are going to be. What my question is, I have this theory of leaving the back windows on each side. So when you are crusing down the highway on a hot summer day you can drop the back windows and let the air circulate thru the bus. Anyone with any ideas on this subject pro or con I would like to here them all. Thanx

windows

We have found that the rear windows being open brings the rear air to the front of the bus, not like you would think, front to rear. That's how the bus driver always knew what was going on in the rear. We don't allow smoking in our bus and went on a canoe trip last summer and someone went in the back and lit up, we INSTANTLY smelled it and yelled back there to put that cig out. I would reccommend leaving a couple of windows to open and remove stagnant air.

Yes this is very true. I had a bus driver in middle school that proved this. This rotten girl that loved to antagonize the driver always sat on the driver side rear seat.

One day she was causing him lots of grief so he spit out his window. A second later she screamed that a bird pooped in her hair. We all started laughing. I was the only one that knew what that poop really was.
