It looks like he is putting an extension cord on his 50 amp box. I did the same thing off my air conditioning unit.

Yeah, but were you soaking your feet in a puddle at the time?

I'm sure he had the circuit breaker off. But then, it's just a picture so nobody knows what risks he was taking. Plus I don't know how a subscription to Bus Conversion Magazine is going to answer the question.

There has not been much activity in the Donations section.

You can donate one of the three following amounts...

As you will see by the Medallion next to my name, I am a Platinum Donor. I review the Forum almost daily to see what is new.

If you enjoy using the Forum and want us to keep it alive like I do, please make a donation so we can keep it going.

Gary, you got to talk to Ian over at BNO?

Are you paying too much for stuff?

BNO seems to purr along without a magazine or a collection plate to subsidize it?

Happy coaching!

I wouldn't call it purring.Few posts there. Picked up a little recently.

luvrbus · October 28, 2018, 11:20:36 AM

I did the Gold because I can do it 2 times a year the 75.00 a year was a better deal.I'll keep trying to help

buswarrior · October 28, 2018, 11:40:26 AM

chessie, all the more reason for the call?

The forum should be earning it's keep on its own?

Happy coaching!

Could be the magazine is sucking the money out of the enterprise. Hard for a lot of print rags to stay in business. Look how thin the FMCA magazine has gotten with so many members supporting it.
I figure my donation was worth it with the info I've received over the years. Maybe some on here that don't have a coach, sold it, never did have one or own a s&s don't think any donation is worth it. Whatever. To each, their own.

The magazine has supported the Forum for the past 6 years that I have owned it. I do not sell buses on the side so the only income to support the Forum now is magazine ad sales and subscriptions, which is not much anymore and it still loses money every month. We stopped printing the magazine and went all digital in June because we were losing so much money. Going all digital has helped but the Google Ad revenue of about $100/month from the Forum is not enough to support the Forum and does not even come close to paying for the upgrades we did earlier this year in both hardware and software.

That is why we set up a Donate button, especially for the folks that do not subscribe to Bus Conversion Magazine.

We have another fellow that appreciates the Forum. Thanks WP for your donation.

Just like this store, we work a lot of hours per day and days in a week.
