Too late to run now, already hooked, I'm finding lots of good information here and enjoying the different topics, it's nice to see a forum thats mainly devoted to the bus conversions, often it's hard to find good information about a specific problem.  I will have one question to see if anyone has any thoughts on it but very limited information on it yet, I'm getting ready to redo a panel directly to the left of the drivers seat and see that theres a large rotary knob behind it that somebody covered up in the past, will be exposing it soon to see what it's all about but most likely will look for input in what it is later, meanwhile the secret to retiring early is the willingness to starve.

That rotary switch would be the old master control.  It was probably replaced with a keyed switch for starting/running the engine and a separate headlights/marker lights switch.

Thanks Paul, yep, another eagle lol. We were gone for a couple of days, can't seem to stay home, especially with a few nice days here, I guess I don't need that much of a reason to burn up some fuel lol.

Back again, had hit the road for a few days.  I've got to get some sort of computer for the bus so I can keep track of whats going on. The past two weeks we hit Wisconsin, Illinios, Indianna, Ohio and then thru Canada back home, had to shake off the cabin fever a bit.  One question for the crew here, we just bought a 97 Dodge Ram1500, it's got an automatic tranny and is four wheel drive with the transfer lever on the floor, the dealer said we could tow it 4 down by putting the transfer case in neutral and the book seems to agree with him but when I went to get the tow brackets put on they said I'd need to disconnect the drive shaft to tow it and they wouldn't put the brackets on. We tow a jeep grand cherokee now and the procedure seems to be the same according to the book, any thoughts?  The reason I opted for the truck is to be able to put a golf cart in the back.

You don't need to use a drive-line disconnect ... just pull the transfer-case in neutral and the auto shifter in PARK. Then turn the ignition one notch .. so your steering isn't locked, but there's no power to dash... and gooooooooo
