    Our mountain bus

    that is a good question John and I am very thankful you asked that! Now I can plan for that problem ahead of time. I will have to think on how to make sure that: 1) plumbing does not leak 2) if plumbing does it is located in an area that will not allow the insulation to get wet. Thanks!

    Our mountain bus

    I did find out that the R value is reduced from R13 to R6.5 by compressing it like I am doing. the combined R value of the plywood below and above the insulation is about R1.25  R7.75 will keep the road heat at bay and help hold in the cool  thanks

    Our mountain bus

    Thanks Cindy, I am getting busy for sure! I do plan on painting the bus, that is my wife's job to pick that out though. I read that the spray on truck bed liners made by line-x also makes a rv roof product that is supposed to be tough and reduce the temperature inside by 20*, I think it is...

    Our mountain bus

    After quite a lot of looking at different bus conversions and types of school buses we finally decided we would get a bus and do the conversion our selves.  This will allow us to put insulation in and floor layout we like best. Ths bus has a diesel fuel operated auxiliary heater made by...

I have started looking on the internet and found a few plaes that you can use to create an app. Does anyone have any...

    I have a nice bus now

    I drove her home from Colorado Springs to Topeka, I traveled at 70 mph and the average was 9 mpg. towards getting closer to home I backed off and traveled at 62 mph and the bus seemed to really like that speed, I am sure if I stay at 55 to 62 ish my average will improve.
