For over 10 years, BNO, www.busnut.com has been the premier web site dedicated to the hobby of converting a bus into a motorhome.

Now, we are committed to bringing you vital information, while you're on the road, directly to your internet ready, mobile device, at:


"BNO Mobile", www.busnut.mobi.


Statistically, there are currently 4 times as many people using their mobile devices (cell phones, Blackberries, etc) to surf the net than computers! We are meeting that statistic head on by making it possible to see BNO while you're on the road.

This mobile web site is designed with only one objective in mind: To be a valuable tool that you can use to assist you in an urgent situation or in the event of an emergency. We will also be adding conversion-friendly stopping spots and campgrounds in the near future.

Our content is always updated and what you see here is a mobile device friendly version of a real live web site; Rich in content and sparse in graphics to keep your browsing expenses at a minimum.

You can help by letting us know where you've had a positive experience in having your vehicle serviced or a great camping occurrence at a reasonable price, so we can include them here.

As well, we are already developing an area of our brand new mobile web site where you can look up where you are, call a local anonymous number and be immediately connected to a fellow bus conversion enthusiast. Stay tuned here for details of that exciting new feature!

Our sincere thanks go to Dave Mendenhall & April Hawks at Bus Solutions who have so generously permitted us to use their exceptional, comprehensive and professional publication, Bus Direct Pages, as a reliable, expert data source in our setting up this initial directory for our mobile web site. Please visit www.bussolutions.com to subscribe!

Enjoy your drive!
Be safe out there!!

Ian,

An excellent data source of bus related businesses. Definitely a major assist when having difficulty on the road. Thank you for the effort.

May I make a suggestion: Add this great new site to your BNO menu page. Perhaps under "~~~ PLEASE CLICK HERE TO GO TO BNO's HOME PAGE ~~~" it might say ~~~ PLEASE CLICK HERE TO GO TO BNO's MOBILE PAGE ~~~. For new site visitors that would otherwise not see a reference to the mobile page.

GREAT ADDITION!!


Thank you Chuck! I've made the change you suggested. Whadya think? Ian.

Ian,
Wow!, I did not realize that many people use mobile devices for internmet access.
I would like to mention Joe Wheeler State Park in North Alabama near Florence. It is on the Tennessee River, has nice sites and is reasonably priced. We have stayed there several times and will probably stop there again in June. http://www.alapark.com/joewheeler/Camping/ Jack

Ian,
I would like to mention Country Roads RV Park in Lake Delton (Wisconsin Dells) WI. They have hosted our Mid West Busnuts gatherings for several years. Lovely pull thru spots with hookups, close to all the Wisconsin Dells tourist stuff and a casino bus that stops and takes passengers. What more can you ask for? Very accomodating folks.

Hi folks,

A couple of weeks since we went live with the new site, www.busnut.mobi, our resource for when you're on-the-road!

I've updated the site with your recommendations so far, but I know hundreds of you have been to a few dozen places that offered great service work for a reasonable price. I would like to hear from you so we can make a great resource, the best resource on the internet.

You can just use this thread or the one below to let us know, or you can write to me at busnut.mobi@hotmail.com. All I need is the company name, city, state/province and phone number.

Thanks folks!

Ian
