John Runningbear has an engineering background and has been living in and working on converted busses for 30 years. He currently resides with his wife and 3 large dogs in their tri-level bus just outside Missoula while running his RV repair business, Big Dog RV Services. He has started 2 intentional communities in Wyoming and Arizona and is working on getting a 3rd going in the Missoula area. This is a 2 part interview in which we meet Nicole, a nursing student who John has helped convert her own bus just this past winter. Then we get a look inside John’s own bus, which is an ongoing experiment with functioning off grid systems that John has been refining since he started living in busses 30 years ago.  Thank you for your patience as ZAHP! experiences some delays due to Covid and my recent move to Hot Springs, MT. Fortunately things have settled and I look forward to bringing more of my recent interviews to your ears promptly. Rest assured that ZAHP! is going strong! In the meantime, stay well and thank you for listening and for your interest in examining creative solutions to the issue of affordable housing!
