You should definitely move it anywhere out of your engine compartment (perhaps under the tin). Any leaks or faults in the current location and your bus will catch fire pretty darn quick!<br />

If you put out a bunch of colorful, cheap, artist's chalk pastels, they will be more vibrant, for example, you get purple! and green! vs. lavender and mint; the images are more durable (pressure wash or respray to remove the ghost images left after erasing); and pastels are more attractive to the passing artists of all ages and skill level; you never know who will make an ephemeral masterpiece on your bus--maybe a five year old!
