ME, causing problems? NAH! Just putting facts where they lay, that's all! I like it when everyone points out things I say but heaven forbid when I point them out on someone else! Then it's all me causing trouble! Wake up and smell the diesel! That's funny about my bus being gold plated AND me being RICH! If you knew me you would know better! I'm broker than most any one of you out here! Remember I DO own a bus. I don't just talk about having had one or wanting one!  Go ahead and pick away! It won't be the first time and I'm sure as heck it won't be the last! Oh and yes your probably right about the age thing! It's those older folks that can't read the entire post but are sure to answer it! Ace | ||

UAS ?? Is that a statement? Like: "I'm in Arizona, U ASs" ? HUMPH. Welcome aboard, Andy. Don't let any comments bother you, and don't let it show if they do. It'll announce a sign of weakness, and you'll only be pecked to death, like a sick chicken in a crowded henhouse. Have fun. I@n wouldn't want it any other way! (ughhhhh... right, I@n?) | ||

Thanks Guys , Sounds like it's going to be fun running with you . Don't worry I have thick skin, Retired firemen 12 years, Lived in Cody wy now in Az for a while tending to my moms needs . Looks like we will be heading back north to Billings MT. We are full timers but still working . Love the Bus the fellow that built it seemed to have a handle on conversions. Along with BB coach in Vegas. Iam having issues with the fridge here in phoenix, It's in the middle of the bus and Iam having cooling problems. The genny fan stopped working so I bought a little fan and placed it in the oprnning in the back it's working but when it gets hot not to good. I even thought of puting a house fridge in I found one at Home Depot Just about the same size.Any thoughts would be great . Thanks Andy | ||

Andy, Welcome to the bus world. Enjoy yourself and take things in stride... The fridge - I just went to the local appliance store and found one that fit the opening... had to muscle it through the front door and past the couches, etc... but plugged it in and away we go. Our Eagle is all electric, so the generator runs whenever we can't use shore power. Fridge works great and you get lots more storage with a house one then most of the RV ones that would fit into limited size openings... We tried to find an RV one with double doors and all - but they all need a very wide opening, and we couldn't modify the area for the fridge. John |
