I'm only a few minutes in but I've got questions: 1. Insurance 2. Matainance 3. Parts! Aaahhhh crazy expensive I've thought of converting one because would be amazing!

@ProjectTrek 2 года назад

Be sure to follow Alex & Ashley on their IG @We.are.the.wanderlusters I’m sure they’d be happy to answer your questions! Thanks for watching!

@ittybittykittyrescue4843 2 года назад

I had same questions. I’d also like to know how much it costs to fill up? How to did he learn to drive it? Did he have to get bus license? Just seems like it would be extremely costly to run but maybe it’s not since it’s running on solar. For a solar guy he really didn’t go into that too much and that’s where I have a lot of questions. I wanted more info on the solar. Plus why in the world hasn’t he switch to lithium batteries already? Is it bcz of costs or other reasons? Just left with lots of unanswered questions

@ProjectTrek 2 года назад

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll be sure to add more specs in future tours. But to answer your specific questions, I suggest following the @we.are.the.wanderlusters on Instagram.

@Sandra-Armstrong Год назад

@@ittybittykittyrescue4843 same here... Lots of questions!!! 😅 I'm gonna have to follow them now! He said it had over 100 gallon tank. If you assume 100 gallons and diesel is at $5/per gallon, then it'll be $500 minimum to fill up. 😬 Yeah, those numbers are tough on my brain. Plus the engine maintenance is a point of concern for me. What if it blows up, even if I'm maintaining it? Then all that money spent on the conversion is wasted? 😭😭😭 My heart can't take that. But, that space in there!!! OMG!!! Buses are so darn amazing!!!! I wonder how many miles it had when they bought it?? 🤔 I just wish I knew more about those engines. 🥺

@user-hg3dj7ek8s 2 года назад

This has the best floor plan I've seen on RU-vid. I'm an architect. I want to do a buss like this for myself. It's a great floor plan.

@ProjectTrek 2 года назад

I really like that they put the hallway on the far side of the bus, that way the bathroom and bunks could take advantage of more room. Most builds seem to put the hallway smack dab in the middle.

@user-hg3dj7ek8s 2 года назад

@brando3009 2 года назад

Great build. Only thing i didn't like was how the top bunk barely had any head space while the bottom had plenty.

@Elizabeth-rq1vi 2 года назад

I see that so often in renos & factory builds. I get claustrophobic just looking at them!

@XEvilxknievilX 2 года назад

I think it was built that way so that the kids can sit upright on the bottom bed when they want to hang out and use the top one only when they sleep.

@Elizabeth-rq1vi 2 года назад

@@XEvilxknievilX that's a logical reason. Poor one because then the top bunker can't sit up and be alone on their bed. I personally couldn't sleep on one as a child, it feels like I'm in a coffin. My grandparents had us sleep in their's and I got the top bunk because I was small.

@lesamcclain4795 2 года назад

You’re right about the top bunk with ZERO head space to lay, not sit up in the dark small space to play video games next to a big bright room for the parents. No signs that kids even live there until the bunk bed unfinished space. But thank goodness they have a dishwasher, ice maker, bathtub and a king bed. I really liked the bus until I saw the kids space. This guy making this video knows how to make a kids space that kids actually love to be in. Y’all go check that out and you’ll see how to make the kids a part of the home.

I can imagine a person build a home in a bus the cost of materials and furniture,food,diesel fuel to fill a 🚌 bus

@212days 2 года назад

Very cool. Pretty stylish in there. That bus is a monster. The guy's a champion for being willing to drive it around. Probably has its moments of not being the most relaxing thing a person could be driving. I would want to have a bus like that... but I think I would feel a little intimidated about driving it places so therefore I would probably not buy a bus that size. Thanks for making the video.

Thoughts on a mini-split system? Nice rig. I wouldn’t have the nerve to drive something that huge, especially towing a truck! Top bunk is like a coffin. I’d have a hard time with that but I guess kids don’t care. Beautifully done!

@BlondieMarie90 Год назад

I really like this layout but think if you had a queen sized bed or a full bed you'd be able to have more floor space in your own room or maybe be able to expand the wall to the kids room. Especially for when they are older and taller. They may like more room/privacy. I love the bathroom the most. Very nice.

Beautiful home one of the nicest I have seen. Only question is don't you find it scary to haul a vehicle on the back when driving down a road or highway? I know I would find it vastly scary. With the length of the bus then another 20 ft give or take of a vehicle. Just turns alone must take some serious manuvering.

@xzqzq 2 года назад

Long towing vehicle with short towed vehicle difficult combo. Forget backing up. I would usually detach the towed vehicle, move both, reattach. Whatever you do, keep the drive axles on solid ground. Turning in tight quarters, envision the rear axles making the turn around any obstacles....I found 40' coaches more maneuverable than 45'.

@ProjectTrek 2 года назад

We actually spent a couple weeks with them in the AZ wilderness. We just connected with them at this RV Park. Even if they’re tight, RV parks are a great way to recharge, get mail, take some nice long hot showers and then jump back out to dry camping. I agree though, this park specifically, is very tight.

How do you deal with the fact that most states do Not allow 45' buses on secondary hwy's and rural roads. Only allowed on interstates only. I went the 45' route and finally sold it, got tired of the hassle and getting pulled over.
