Eric is correct that a danger is there that the bus might be in gear
when remotely started. The only time I EVER leave it in gear is when
parking on hill. I make sure my parking break always works. Also
when working on the bus in my driveway I chock the wheels too.
I was more concerned with problems of the electrical nature.
By using a jumper instead of a hard wired switch for the power, it is
quick and easy to yank on the wire to kill engine, instead of fumbling
for a switch. Thanks for the warning.
