Off-Grid Skoolie Tour Before We Hit The Road | Bus Life Week 3 

Thank you! The most important part is the travel and adventure, not the vessel you do it in. We wish you happy travels when your bus is finished as well! (:

What a great idea. And I think smarter of you to do a bus conversion than getting an RV (they are often made to look good on paper and in the showroom, then fall apart) or a van (a bit too small to be comfortable, imo.) Enjoy!

Right on! That's fantastic! All the fun in the world to you!

Haha yes we are finding that out now! It is so stressful and amazing all at the same time!

Thank you so much!! 😊

use bungy cords or more of that netting for the fruits! (look at videos of boats to get ideas)

Great job. Nicest one ive seen. Think u covered it all. Looks very comfortable. Never redid a school.bus but married a sailor with a 30.ft sailboat so i know a little about space and storage. U did a great job!!❤ Good luck in your travels. My son lives in Colorado. Beautiful there.

Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you! It was definitely a lot of work but we’re very happy with it (:

Thank you so much!! We really appreciate it! 😊

Thank you so much! But we definitely haven’t thought of everything, we are figuring it out on the go!

Not forever lol Old school buses with lots of miles don’t last forever

Thank you!! And good tip!

Thank you Manny! 😊 we so appreciate that, look forward to hearing more from you on our upcoming videos ❤️

Thank you very much! 😊

Thank you! Good tip, we only have the 1 smoke detector in the back. We are not towing a car but Maddy will driving a car behind the bus for this trip.

That would be awesome in the future! Currently we are staying at campgrounds until Maddy finishes her internship.

Awesome! Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you! As of now I think we would build it using a different bus. We are just having so much difficulty with the regen system on this Cat C7. I hope we can figure it out. Other than that though, we wouldn’t change a thing!

@@maddyandzach I hope you do too. You guys have thrown a fortune at it and I hope that would have done it. Does your state require emissions inspections? Maybe talk to someone about a delete kit. I know there is things like EGR Delete, DPF Delete, which the Regen is to burn off soot out of the DPF filter. That's about a $900 part too plus labor. If you can get that DPF system deleted for about a $1000, that might be your best option. No more Regen problems, no more ARD head issues, no DPF filter replacement etc. My Cat C7 is the 2004-2006 in 05 BB Vision, so far, not Regen issues and that's the only emmisions it has. No EGR, No DEF. 2007 is when the C7 got uglier. Many claim 2004-2006 is ugly too, but it's a HEIU Pump system so if you just keep the engine oil clean and changed properly, then the 04-06 should be OK. But if you let that dirty junk run throgh the HEIU pump, then it'll take out the pump, and the pump will take out the injectors so it's expensive not to change your oil. In 07 they went to a different system and had to add those other emmisions due to the EPA But yeah, maybe talk to someone who knows about the delete kits or reliabitity kits. I just hope it's all good now and will be for a long time to come.

Thanks a lot 😊

Thank you! And thank you for the feedback!

Makes total sense, we are thinking about doing this! Thank you!

😊

Yup we have 75 gallons under the bed

Thank you! It’s 29 feet long, and it’s pretty easy to drive!

It is an EcoFlow 5kw lithium battery. We got the independence kit. We plan to buy a second 5kw battery in the future.

Yes we are in Colorado now!

About $200

No, Maddy will be driving her civic behind the bus for now

Safe travels; from Denver!
