    Empty Bookshelves

    November 23rd, 2006

    How quickly we fall out of love…

    A few weeks ago I was in a quandary about where all the books in my home would go if/when I go fulltiming.
    Bookshelves
    Hundreds of books. Stressing about which to take and which beloved books would have to be bid a wistful farewell.

    In order to move just one of the several bookcases from the house to the coach, the entire thing would have to be unloaded - an ongoing postponed task.

    Once it was emptied and transferred to the coach, secured and ready to populate with all these ‘beloved’ books, I found I didn’t want any of them there! I don’t want all those crusty books on philosophy, self-improvement, finance, corporate management and blaa blaa blaa. Eeww. Yuck.

    I’m starting a new chapter, not rehashing the old!

    Hmmm….what to put on the shelves, then?
    Bus Conversion Books
    Why, books on bus conversions, from Ben’s
    rv-busconversions of course!


    PS: Notice the slanted shelves? Hah! Thought I overlooked that one, did you?

    A bus that looks like a motorhome? Not a compliment. :-)

    George Myers, a respected authority in the bus conversion world and publisher of Coach-Builder’s Bulletin, writes, in an article on Window Systems Analysis in the November, 2006 issue of Bus Conversions Magazine:

    By covering the window openings and installing RV windows, the look of the coach is usually changed significantly from how it looked as a bus. Some people have told me how well I changed my bus so that it now looks just like a motorhome. I have to explain why this is not a compliment.

    Classic MC9Now motorhome owners, don’t get all huffy, ok? Some of us bus owners get quite a few askance looks from the factory-built crowd, so if ya’ll can’t respect us, can’t we at least get a little for ourselves?! :)
