FRIDGE
We went with the NX841 Norcold 2-way fridge. It is a fair amount of work getting it installed, so hopefully it will work good.
COUNTER TOPS
We got these off Amazon since we have prime and shipping was free. It was cheeper than anything I found locally. They are John Boos Blended Walnut Counter Tops.
BATHROOM
Most of the materials came from Home Depot. The diverter bowl is from a company in the UK: www.littlehouse...
DASH
Once again this was only possible because of the very talented Tim Monnnot!!! / @thecalypso5877

I Honestly applaud you this is a Big Project to Take on for anyone alone or with little help while maintaining a family life and or working as well! After watching so many conversation videos my favorites are the diy. Yeah you can be rich or well off and have one build from scratch but the ones who diy them theirselves seem more proud of the finished product. I know it must be a Bog Sense of accomplishment for anyone who builds one out! Great job!

@w.a.watson3078 6 лет назад

Alert!!!!! I don't you knew (too late now), but your son grabbed one of your power tools and proceeded, to turn it on, and use against the bus window. I love kids and want them to be safe, that is why I don't think children should be allowed to play around buses being under conversion. I love what you have done thus far on the bus.

@catmccjk1 6 лет назад

Thanks. We kept a close eye on them while they helped with the bus.

@jo-anickperreault9037 7 лет назад

Thank you it inspire me a lot. You explain pretty well :D!

@lanksterprice 7 лет назад

I think I would have flip the rockers over and put the usb on the bottom and the rockers on the top.. cords will hang over the rockers .. but thats just me.. Also on defrost A/C works best will warm air it drys the air faster and keeps fog off the glass... its the reason most new cars use A/C pump at the same time.

@catmccjk1 7 лет назад

I have noticed that about the usb cord over the rockers!

@46lfries 7 лет назад

when doing wiring cutting wires with pulling wires you should use number tape especially if you have to cut a wire you put the number on each side then cut the wire electricians use these all the time

@bjorn336 7 лет назад

i love the cinematic feel of these videos... the bus is really coming along, is your plan to sell your house and live full time in the bus when it is done?

@catmccjk1 7 лет назад

Life of Bjorn thank you very much! Yes we are out of our house on July 15. So I still have lots of work ahead of me before we move in.

@adictiveadictive 7 лет назад

dash is dope!

@alhendrillich6610 7 лет назад

Could you opt out of the black water tank entirely, and have urine divert to grey water tank?

@catmccjk1 7 лет назад

Alhen Drillich you could. There is a fair amount of debate about doing that. I picked up a black water tank for cheap and have space for it so I opted to go that route

@46lfries 7 лет назад

what kind of wood is that in the bathroom really nice stuff

@domgreco7 6 лет назад

Beautiful job on the dash. Have you found a heater that works with the system you explained in the video? I have the same situation and am trying to find something that works. Also, have you noticed your engine temps running hotter because of taking out your front heating system?

@catmccjk1 6 лет назад

I plan on using an electric heater, but in order to do so I need to finish installing a second alternator to provide sufficient power to run it.

@robertpringle2966 7 лет назад

Where did you find that urine diverter? I have been unable to find anything like that.

@jmpayne44 5 лет назад

Looks like a Kildwick Klassic Urine Separator available online from the UK.

@ericwilson8848 3 года назад

Bus I'm looking at has all the wires labelled.big plus

@rebeccachastain9152 6 лет назад

Maybe someone has already asked but how has your fridge set up worked out?

@duckblind1964 7 лет назад

Looking good! how did you fabricate that airbrake handle?

@catmccjk1 7 лет назад

duckblind1964 are used a small piece of black iron pipe that I had, and the handle was $1.50 at Home Depot. I then used a generous amount of JB Weld epoxy .

@2579kj 6 лет назад

Awesome job. Where did you get the fiberglass bowl for your compost toilet?

@1armedguy4 6 лет назад

Not knocking your buddies carpenter skills but a bus will tend to twist and such so each joint should have carpenters clue or a good dose of liquid nails in each joint . Otherwise there's going to be a tremendous amount of squeaking and movement in your dash !!

@catmccjk1 6 лет назад

in the final construction, glue was used and has held together well so far

@soulsinger1393 7 лет назад

Do you have a shot of the back of the dash? Thinking about doing mine but can't see how the plastic piece facing the windshield is done. What State is Tim located in?

@gloadv 7 лет назад

@catmccjk1 7 лет назад

GloADV I am using iMovie. It came with the computer.

@larsosejohansen 7 лет назад

GloADV So if u dont have a mac use movie maker, basically the same

@Mozingotube 6 лет назад

If you have gone through adding a black water tank then why not just use a traditional low flush toilet?

@catmccjk1 6 лет назад

We can live off grid longer with a composting toilet

@Coolbreeze61 7 лет назад

where did you get the composting toilet fiberglass urine separator?

@1989dshall 5 лет назад

Did you make that fiberglass toilet mold?

@mr.bearded-homesteader5584 7 лет назад

how difficult was it to remove the front heater part and you also said somthing about a heater infront of that door and the just the fans will blowthe heat up? also are those the original fans?

@mtbutah3078 6 лет назад

I would also love to know this! Are those the original fans for the defroster? Did tou remove all of the coolant lines? So no inside heaters at all? How is your engine temperature running on hot days? I figured if I were to keep my heaters in my bus, they would help cool the engine on hot days. Is the scoop for your radiator working out okay? I love your bus and vids!

@catmccjk1 6 лет назад

I just used a 12V computer fan and built a wooden box around it.
