Our family likes to be warm, so for a hot minute, we considered keeping said heaters. However, once you add walls and framing and such, the heater was not only poorly positioned, but would also be fairly ineffective. We decided to pull it. Which seems like something that should be able to done quickly and easily with a pair of wire cutters and a screwdriver.
Alas, sometimes you don't know what you don't know.
Bus heaters run off engine coolant. With big hoses and stuff. And you can't just cap the hose because the coolant wouldn't make it back to the engine. And then you engine goes boom.
After half a day of work, Matt managed to get the heater unattached from the floor, the wires capped and the coolant looped back on itself. Do you know how much coolant that thing with all its hoses held? Over 5 gallons. To make everything even more fun, coolant has to be properly disposed of. We now have a 5 gallon bucket of the dirty stuff to figure out what to do with.
