        My suggestion is this: Go to a junkyard, find a rabbit or something
H20 cooled (and VW or Audi), pull the electric pump out of the washer
resiovoir, put it in your bus, add a toggle switch. Voila! You now no
longer need worry about the stupid air pressure. Works great on mine, even
when I forget to check air pressure...  ;-)
