I def lime the idea of the fan goi g in the emergency hatch, problem for me is that i dont have one. But it really was not bad at all. I am actually considering another fantastic fan at th front of the bus for better ventilation...one fan going in and one going out. Summer will dictate that.

You can consider an opening in the floor as an air inlet. The air below the bus is cooler and with a roof vent je will also create natural convection. Less power and noise. You want to be able to close/ seal it for exhaust gasses and critters.

Johan, That is not something that was even on my radar. Thanks for that idea��

So, it has been a frustrating few months. The paint job on Baby Buster was supposed to be a few weeks, but it has turned out to be a few months. I should be getting him back in about a week or so. I hope to regain my motivation for his inside. I saw him a few days ago and here is the update.

It looks fantastic, totally factory. Waiting months for it to be done sucks for sure, but that end result is hopefully worth it.

Thanks. It, of course, looks better in pics than in reality. But it came out so much better than anything i could have done myself. So in the end, it was just a speed bump. I really am loving the "NOT YELLOW" that i adamantly requested (everywhere and anywhere). I am hoping to have him home by next week...we will see��

Thank you so much. Just when he was just about ready to get sprung, i met my friend's graphics guy. So now waiting on him to get the business logos set up. May as well get the outside completed before taking him home. Another week? Need to get back to his insides... Hope all is well with you Clynn. Any updates on your end?

Hi there,


No real updates to speak of. Secured all the kitchen cabinets, bed, convertible couch down to both the walls and floor; Installed kitchen sink; Was unable to remove the faucet from the van, but it will be added to the bus as soon as I buy a wrench that fits the nut on the drain.


Passed on going to the local fair this year due to increased Covid rates, and have been busy buttoning up the hatches for Henri's arrival.


If you're in Henri's path, stay safe!


Clyn


EDIT: P.S. My daughter loves the bus colour too!
