That's something I wondered about. Thanks for solving that mystery. Here's another. What do you do with the scrap metal you remove from the bus?
@SeekingDiscoveryBus
@SeekingDiscoveryBus 2 місяці тому
I listed it for free on Facebook marketplace and some scrappers came to get it to recycle.

I just ran two wires to the bus electrical bay and put a fuse into an open slot so that it was using the 12V from the starter battery. Nothing fancy since it was just temporary

You can tell a bus is taller by looking at the driver window compared to the passenger windows. See how the passenger windows are taller than the driver window?
