Does anyone struggle with the parking brake?

So I have an I CE 200. And ive had trouble with the parking break since i got it. Meaning a lot of times it won’t release and therefore i cant get going. I had to look up the manual at first and follow the instructions exactly on starting and releasing the parking brake. However, sometimes this works and other times it doesn’t. Anyone else run into this problem? Any solutions?

Is this something? Never seen anything like it. Doesn’t look natural

Found in eastern Arizona. Almost looks like the part of a light bulb you screw in.

Native American pottery?

I’m in eastern az. I find a lot of arrowheads. I feel like this is just “old” pottery. Not a Native American artifact. But I wanted to be sure before I tossed it.

Great day of hunting!

First one might be my new favorite just because of the colorization. Other two look like throw aways but you can tell they were worked.

Recent findings in AZ

Just started hunting last month and I’m addicted. These are what I’ve found.

EDIT: so I’ve been doing some research and it looks like the little one is an “unnotched leaf-shaped,” the middle one is a “Jay,” but I can’t figure out the last one. I’m assuming it’s a spearhead of some sort. Anyone know?

CE 200 - parking break release

Hey everyone, I need to move my bus and can’t seem to get the parking break to release. Anyone have any issues with this? I start it up, press the break, press and hold the release parking break button, and it just starts beeping. The parking break light is still light up on the dash and I can’t put it into gear before the break release. I know it’s a safety issue thing but I can’t think of what it might be.

Who wants solar panels?

Hey so I have access to a bunch of solar panels. That I can get for really cheap. I want to help this community. I wouldn’t be able to give them away, but I should be able to do them at least 50% off, and that should include shipping fees as well. I haven’t done the math yet. But the first thing I need to know is how many people would be interested in them. So DM me, and here within the next month or so, I should be able to price them and start filling orders. Just let me know. Hope everyone is doing well! I am starting the renovations on my skoolie next week!!! Here are the details about the solar panels: Each panel is 39"×65" - 250w
Let me know if you have any other questions. To be fair, I have no idea yet if these are a good option yet for skoolies. I think they are, but because I’m not at that point yet, I haven’t fully looked into them yet, so input is also appreciated.

EDIT - location - Show Low, AZ
It’s also 250w, like the picture shows, not 250kw, like I initially put.
Someone also stated that these are listed for sale for $40 in Tucson. I thought they were way more expensive, so this may not make sense after all.

Uses for a wheelchair lift?

Anyone have any cool ideas of what to do with a wheelchair lift? It’s in the back of the bus and I just feel like there is something really cool I could do with it, but I can’t think of anything. I would like to hear all the ideas please. Practical and fun.

Hey everyone! I just bought a bus and will start my work soon. I’ve never done anything like this but I’m super stoked. I’ve bought Skoolie books and have been watching YouTube video like crazy. My budget is super tight. Im looking for any advice I can. I’m on Craigslist and offer up daily to find item to my bus. Besides those sites, does anyone have any suggestions for cheap material or used appliances? I’m especially interested in a washer dryer combo, batteries, inverters, and material. Any other advice is also welcome!
