Lighting & a Propane Tank

The bedroom reading lights are now hooked up. There was a minor glitch. We missed the fact that the lights did not have switches, and the bus was wired for lights with built-in switches. Joseph found remote control bulbs, and switches, which will live on our bedside tables. Problem solved.
He bought a 30 gallon propane tank from a salvaged motorhome. It looked pretty rough, but he cleaned it up and painted it, then installed it under the bus. A stationary tank will be much easier to refill than the little bottles. He told me truck stops have diesel fuel on one side, and propane on the other, for easy refills. I learn something new every day!

The bedroom looks so cozy with the lights and the stained glass window. I can imagine solid reading time there.

That propane should last you a while.

Great work!

I hope to do a lot of reading on the skoolie, and bet J will too!
