Seems like the screws in the track is an idea

In looking at our windows we do see the screws in the track, so one of these times I'll try and take one apart. It looks like in our case the tracks would tilt outward and not inward , which is a good thing as the insides have gotten pretty built up over time. I suppose that we might have to take th...

Norcold user here

In our bus we have a Norcold 3 way (propane,AC,DC) We never put any holes in the bus nor have we even installed a fan, but rather we built a cabinet to use the fridges own heat to move the air. We also added some additional insulation around the fridge when we originally installed it. Keep in mind t...

repairing school bus windows

The windows on our bus are single sash (one piece). They have puzzled us since we first got the bus and it will be fantastic to find the answer to the mystery of how one goes about removing them and replacing them.

repairing school bus windows

I've a 1967 superior coach shorty school bus and while so far I've been fairly lucky with my windows, one or two could use some work and I've even contemplated putting in real tinted glass to replace the tint filmed windows. The problem is I've never been able to figure out how to remove the windows...

Where would I even put one :)

I and my partner have lived in a converted 1967 shorty school bus for several years and the thought of a full fledged wood stove is just too much. We currently use a catalytic propane heater , and with all the insulation we have in the bus it only takes about 5 minutes on the lowest setting before t...
