    Portable Air conditioning units??

    Hi, Does anyone have any experience with a small, portable USB powered air con unit? Something like the below seems ideal, I know the water tank needs to be filled but surely it would adequately cool a bus? Thanks...

    Parts Wanted Bike rack wanted

    Hi all, I’m after a bike rack for my bus, the fiamma one looks to be the most popular. I’m in the West Midlands (DY8) and the closest one I can find for sale is in Cardiff. Anyone got one they don’t use and closer to me than Cardiff?? Thanks Matt

    Parts Wanted Early Bay sound deadening

    Replacement Front Seats

    These look great! Do they fold forward at all? I still use the cab hammock and looks like these would foul the poles. Thanks

    A homely bus.

    A big part of it for us is the memories. Get out there and use your bus and you’ll have plenty to talk & laugh about with your family (both good and bad!) Maybe bring your favourite cup from home and your own pillow - sometimes it’s the little things too!

    OIL LIGHT Shining bright.

    I used to have a gene berg dipstick temp sensor that lit the oil light when hot, mine did sometimes come on when pulling up hills, particularly in hot weather. If I remember correctly the dipstick sensor would illuminate the oil light immediately to full brightness (as it’s just making a...

    Westy Magazine rack trim

    Hi, Does anyone know what the original trim would be for around the rim of the aperture in the magazine rack of the buddy seat? Mines a bit strange as it’s a SO67/R I have a double buddy seat and therefore a larger magazine rack, it’s never had any trim around it, also should there be a back...
