Rob,
 I hope I am not experiencing the same problem you are.  Bus Depot
double shipped me an order of which I had to pay for because it was
COD.  One potable water pump and starter solenoid cost me over $120.   I
was promised a refund check, but I have yet to receive it.  I will say
that this has jaded my opinion of the Bus Depot. I got "the check is in
the mail" response when I called in.     Waiting to see.
