Lit Up

Our 12volt DC LED lights came in this week. We were excited to test them out. Joshua set up the solar panel, charging the battery. In the meantime, we started the bus engine for first time since we parked it. The engine turned over on the first try and I came home to a beautifully lit bus.

The lights in the picture above run off the engine. Just not a practical thing for daily use.

Our favorite lights are teeny rope lights that we unrolled off something that looked like a movie reel. The back has adhesive so we can set them in place permanently when we're ready.



Joshua wired everything together and voila! Lights in the dark powered by the sun!



And then the Boss Man took on dinner, too! Grilled veggies with delicious steak at the bottom of the pile!

  1. I love reading about the No Fuss Buss! You guys have done a really great job. I do have a question though, how did you make the rope lights solar powered? or do they come that way?
