It's the engine I'm wondering about. That's a great price but that's because fixing the engine's going to cost 40 Grand this might have been a lot of work for nothing

Hi guys well done so far. You brought some good skills to the job and with help from your family n friends you will save so much money and will know all there is to be able to do repairs. This is a part of your travels and you will be able to look back with great pride. I’ve done similar jobs and wish I still had your fitness and enthusiasm. Keep going. Cheers Laurie from Tasmania oz

The weight of the wood decreases has milage very significantly. Did it to van in late 70s miles per gl.was nuts like 6 pr 8 mpgs. Just saying and in the mountains lololololol 3or4 mpgs. A bus has to be worse. Looks great no question the question is are you driving or docking. That's what will really matter. Financially.

@wizardscientist2883 9 месяцев назад

Great job but hey I can’t help but to think… it’s like your journey is actually more preparing than actually traveling.. I hope that you guys will be able to use the bus for the time that is much longer than you guys spent prepping the bus.

I knew a guy who converted diesel pusher busses to motor homes. The key to putting metal in the windows place, is to heat the metal with sun lamps then drill and weld them in place, when it cools, it will be tight/flat surface.

@billcichoke2534 29 дней назад

Interesting build, but a question... With all the wood in the ceiling, doesn't that make this thing incredibly top heavy? I drive the full size version of these things for my local school district, and just having a bunch of luggage in the students' seats with them makes my bus roll in the corners terribly.

Aren't you insulating the walls/floor/ceiling? I didnt see you putting in any sort of sound proofing either. Surely that will make the bus really echoey??

We insulated the walls and ceiling with 2 inches of closed cell spray foam and have 2 inches of rigid foam on the floor. We also put killmats throughout.

Probably an air chisel. If you have an air compressor you just need the chisel attachment and it's not to expensive.

Why not leave the existing insulated roof/walls/ceiling and the bigger and more numerous windows that are already installed?

@maddyandzach Год назад

The bus would be very poorly insulated if we did that. We took all that out and put in spray foam and RV windows so the bus stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This is going to be our home so we need it to be comfortable.
