13.5' tall huh?  You better buy one of those trucker books that show all the low bridges.  You will want a 'heads up' on low bridges.  Oklahoma is good.  Also good that you don't live in the NE! 
Re your brake light switch.  You should be able to use any air operated brake light switch.  May take some fittings to screw into metric threads, but....? 
Good luck, JR

Tymccu,
Shucks we just spent a week in Pryor. Ended up leaving after the snowstorm last Sunday. Wish I had known you were there!

Hello everyone.  One week ago I bought a 1985 Neoplan Jetliner conversion.  It is my first RV.  It has been quite the learning curve.  I have a million questions and they keep changing.  At first (before I was approved by this website) I needed to know everything even how to operate the driver's seat.  I've since learned that scrunching sideways and using my seatbelt keeps me in the seat and not on the floor.  It looks a little funny but it is effective. 

My questions change day by day as I've gained more experience.  I can now turn on the low voltage system, use the water and microwave.  I still haven't figured out the fridge, webasto heater or the over-the-road a/c.  I don't have any idea about a lot of the bus's operations but it sure is fun at the one week mark. 

I look forward to everyone's sage advice. Including this site such as how to post pictures.

Mike,
   First, welcome to the wonderful world of busnuts, You do realize there is no cure for this condition? To get questions answered a little quicker, start a new topic with the question as the subject (such as how do I operate my RV refrigerator?, or how Do I operate my Webasto?).
  To post photos  First put your photos on Photobucket www.photobucket.com  After you have the photos on Photobucket.com,  go to Photobucket and put you mouse on the photo you want to post. A pop up window will give you several options. left click on IMG CODE It will then say "copied". now go the MAK BB and write your message. Then put you mouse where you want the photo and right click. When the window pops up, left click on paste. You will see the URL for the photo you selected. Post your message and when the post is opened on the Bulletin Board and WaLa, there is your photo. Jack

Thanks for the photobucket heads up.  I was probably lucky that it took so long to sign up as I'm sure you guys get tired of answering the same questions over and over again.  Soon I will begin asking specific questions.

We bought a 1969 Eagle 05 conversion in February.  It is our first RV.

I'm user on this board from two years ago but never posted, just learning from all of you reading and reading the board.

I've learned about buses and conversions since 2004 with a lot of emails back and forth with Dreamscape (Paul) and finally we purchased one conversion two months ago from a gentleman in Kerville TX. We live in Chihuahua, Mexico.

Julio, Good to see you here! Keep the faith Buddy, I'm sure it will all come together!
