The January issue of Bus Conversion Magazine contains a very well written article about the Arcadia rally by Dave Rush from Tikvah Marketing which also contains over 125 photos in the Online Edition of bus nuts and the buses that attended the rally.
Many are photos of bus nuts gathering around discussing their last trip along with many photos of the buses that attended the event. Take a look at the buses and compare them to yours. Maybe you will get ideas about a new paint job like I did, or something else. More bus conversion owners will become famous this month than in any other month since I became the Publisher.
There are also several additional pages in our new "Blast From The Past" series that we started this month. This is a new section that we will include in all future issues. The articles in this section were recycled from previous issues over the past 22 years of BCM history. Many current subscribers have one of every issue in their personal collection.
However most of our readers have subscribed relatively recently and have not seen a lot of these articles. There are many excellent articles written over the years for Bus Conversion Magazine that most of our readers not have seen. So we thought we would bring extra value to the magazine by starting to rerun some of these older great articles of years past in the Bonus Content in our Online Edition. If you can think of an article that you particularly found interesting that you think should be re-run, please let us know.
This month we re-ran "The Quest" by John and Donna Ash which was first published in January 1994. It a story about converting from scratch an MC-8 to a home on wheels. Read how they built their coach with Formica, Ozite, and J.B. Weld.
Other great articles in this issue include...
Bus Conversion Fundamentals – Planning. This is the first of a series of articles we will be running each month throughout the year. If you are not a current subscriber but are considering or in the middle of a conversion, sign up now so you don't miss any part of this series. We will teach you how to convert a bus from the ground up.
Mobile Internet Options by Cherie Ve Ard and Chris Dunphy. Here you can learn how to stay "connected" no matter where your bus takes you. You can view their great website at www.technomadia.com (http://www.technomadia.com) and www.rvmobileinternet.com (http://www.rvmobileinternet.com). They are full timers who are solving everyday travel problems that have kept many folks who want to travel at home because of lack of being able to stay connected with friends.

Looking good. I got my copy yesterday!
Our H3-40 not only photo bombed the cover, but had some very nice photos of it in the article. What was also exciting to us was to have in the same article our first bus as well, Sean and Angie's 84 Eagle Suburban!!!
Thanks!!!
