Rooftop A/C Install, Everything Is Broken! 

"I'm not having fun, which means I'm doing it wrong. So I have to do it a different way." Sage wisdom.

"I'm not having fun, which means I'm doing it wrong. So I have to do it a different way" Damn, it really is that simple, huh?

"The only problem is, it doesn't work right now" 🤣😂 Sounds like me in my garage getting my second hand tools ready for fixing my house...

I am absolutely laughing my rump off! This channel is the best! None of this scripted “can we fix it in time” crap. This is a true “one of us” channels. Can’t fix it, just ignore it! 😂 Love it!

Brother, you are SOoooo American! Yankie ingenuity has always been the motto of my family. This is the way things have been done by the common man forever. Thank you for teaching this generation of have-nots that, that doesn't matter. Just do it! ! ! !

I don't know this gentleman's name but I appreciate his frankness and down to earth approach.

It does my heart good to see rather round about path to getting a project worked on you have to take. It makes me realize I'm not alone on the island of "Oh for the love of Saint Pete! I have 5 hours of work to get to work."

I worked in an rv factory for years, installing metal sides, roofs, doors, windows, and roof top air conditioners. Your work looks great, if your having fun....

A tip from Mustie1 is to warm the old tape up in a microwave first. Works as good as new.

Low-Buck videos always make me happy! I wish they were longer.

Thanks for another exciting and fun upload. Your genuine nature and approach is so under-rated. No bs, just honest work from a relatable fellow.

Even with the no reverse issue, that man lift is worth gold! That roof structure is many times stronger than most new motorhomes (not based on a big dollar bus). I live in the south, we run our generator most of the time during the summer to power both roof A/Cs while traveling. Love the content!

A real life Mad Scientist and a Master of Dry Humour. I love it! With all love and admiration from Nagaland, India

Yep. we're having fun, watching you repairing things so you can repair things! Seem to be able to relate to that.

you are awsome dude. love the improv in all things. amazing. refreshing change from the normal youtube mechanic experience where everything is uptight. totally real. getting things done with what's at hand. thanks!

This guy is fantastic, such a fun video, cant stop being amused by his 'good enough' technique and his ability to fix anything, so far 🙂. Keep it up I'll make it through all your videos as I'm bingeing them. I need a happy fix. Thanks

Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish, thank you for the laughs.

As long as the can has a picture of an RV on it, it must be good. I needed a good laugh. Thanks for the video.

An hour ago I didn't even know what a tow tug is, and now I think I need one. Great work overcoming all the challenges to get your A/C installed!

You're doing a good job! I like the way you work thru a series of issues to get a task accomplished. You know, some people would see each issue as an excuse not to get the task done - any one thing would stop them.

Very enjoyable upgrade. Nice to see every wire known to man was installed in your dash. ..Thanks for the Vid

Totally relatable, SSDD ( Same $#!+ Different day)! I had only one project to complete today... After unjamming the nail gun, the broken power switch on the air compressor, and figuring out where I put the nails . My estimated 2 hours project took all day, and I still have more yet to finish when I have time to get back to it! Brother... I feel your pain!

I love that you have to everything first to use it. For me, its figure out where i left it. Also when you said "another one of my only concerns" i cracked up. Fun stuff.

This guy deserves at least more than 100 k subscribers. Come on people spread the word its just as good as VVG

The thing I like the most, is that you walk us through the troubleshooting process. Priceless.

Thanks for another great episode in the epic 1953 Kenworth bus refurbish.

You really do make me laugh out loud 😂. Very interesting,you navigate so well through all your setbacks.

What a excellent way to start you day ,Low Buck Garage ,a very talented gentleman subtle dry humor , his trouble shooting techniques seem strange at times however is is very clever ,see what I mean ,His humor is priceless ,Just pay attention ,He really knows his stuff

I gotta say this was the most njoyable videos I’ve watched in awhile!

Great work, as always! That professional sprayer made all the difference 😄

Been following this story after watching the one on the "old" bus. Great "shakedown" trip you did and certainly helped find/fix some faults. Should be a great tourer when it's finished.

I am enjoying this bus project! Thank you sir!

Well done.

Great job. I am glad you liked the turbo nozzle. Fantastic job on the install. Thanks for sharing your talents and adventures!!!

That tow tug with Coleman axels is a serious machine.

Always happy to see you upload a new video! Your way of working is very relatable, and also inspiring, as you truly just make do, with what you have!

Your tenacity is amazing. I find it very endearing. I'm not sure if you know this, but I am certain that's not a travel bus at all. It actually is truly a can of worms. But if you're having fun, then it's a a travel bus.

Just found your channel and am commenting on an older vid. You’re like a care free Hank Hill. Good stuff.

Lots of cool work completed

Every time I watch your channel it changes my mood and attitude for the better. Bravo! Please keep up the awesome and inspiring work.

Love your videos and your bus ,keep up the good work 👍.

I like your "moss scraper". Also good defense against nogoodniks

Dear LBG 👍👌👏 I absolutely love this RV bus series. A lot of progress happened and you opened up some cans of worms (which is completely normal while doing a project like this). This bus seems to need a complete overhaul, especially the roof sides are rusted out/through (unfortunately inside and outside). I really hope that you will somehow find a way around a complete restoration because unfortunately the vehicle isn't worth that kind of huge effort. The new AC unit seems great. I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the next video part. 2) If I remember correctly, you didn't give/change back the green 4WD international pickup truck light hearted. The scrapyard owner Silas, "Adventures made from scratch", just showed a nearly rust free example that is for sale. Unfortunately including rats nests. 🙈 But despite a bit front damage, the truck seems fine. I don't know how far away his scrapyard is but maybe you are interested in having an International 4WD pickup truck again. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all of you.

Your dilemma at 9:02 sounds just like me and my many projects.👍🏻🍻🇺🇸

I'm really loving these bus series.

Your comments are pure gold. "Luckily, I make stuff up as I go along." JAJAJAJJAJAJA

I'm having fun watching you... 👍

Hope something is not wrong there have not seen a new vid for a while really like this channel.

Nice, thats a sweet old bus

Nothing like watching an artist at work!

I'm really enjoying this project

This Man can take multiple vehicles in a yard and fix them,,Sometimes we're not in the mood,,but when you need to,,everything is taken care of,,,

I just stood an extension ladder against the side of the RV. AC only weights 100#, so tied a rope to it and with the wife's help, slid it up the ladder. I don't have the technology you have.👍👍

Really glad I came across your channel, I enjoy it very much. I wish you continued success!

Awesome video

Love the Jeremy Clarkson style intros.

So very enjoyable and entertaining. I love your fixes. I really enjoy making old stuff useable. Thanks

You can buy a soft start capacitor for the AC.

I love this RV, great vid as always 👌

I always look forward to your videos, but this one was particularly riveting. Riveting.

You work and talk just like I work. Coming from a fellow DIY'er who has wired complete homes, built and refurbished everything; you do nice work and should be proud.

This is just genius, funny and thank you.

Working with flats and curves when it comes to connecting them is a challenge

Very creative the way you assemble the air conditioner on top of the bus and power it. This is a great bus RV.

As a 3d printer, the best way if your having your print not sticking is to use painter's tape and a glue stick. Problem solved. Hairspray "extreme hold" works really good to on a glass bed.

It is great seen a fellow New Mexican putting out such fun content.

Loving this project. Also nice to see that I'm not the only one that has to fix 4 other things to get to the one big project.

Give your self a double bonus win!

Always enjoy your videos. They inspire me to have more fun on my projects and not to get too hung up on perfection \

Love the channel! Keep up the great work.

This channel deserves just one word: genius !!

I love this so much.

Painting the ceiling white really made the interior way nicer. Also the new air conditioner means more room on the inside since the old one took a lot of space.

I remodeled my brother's BSB motorhome / race truck and one of the cheapest and transformative jobs on it was to cover the celling with some grey carpet and inset lights which cuz now a days are LED don't need a massive air gap round them cuz of the heat. The Grey carpet which is just uses spray adhesive made the RV look modern, clean and tidy. I will totally recommend this to you to do especially as it seems you've got no insulation up in the celling. Keep those great videos coming there and you are great

Your vintage bus is impressive .I just discovered mice and rats have re insulated my old airstream floor with shell beans and fiberglass poop .I found out you can cut the skin with a virbro saw.

I enjoy all of ur videos and I am amazed with how fast u can get things done in a day keep up the good work and until next time hopefully see u soon again can't wait for another upload video it's been great watching all ur videos it took me 2 weeks just to catch up with ur current video's and I am happy to watch them

It sure is a good thing that you know how to fix things. You have a lot of body work to do just to seal the roof. May the force be with you.

Loving this channel.

To clean the roof of plantlife, you should have bought 15% sodium hypochlorite, I use it to clean paving flags her in England, brings them up like new in a few minutes. I buy 20 litre barrels of it for around £30.00. It's the same stuff as bleach, just a concentrated version.

To fix multiple things in order to get one thing done reminds me of that opening from Malcolm in the middle

A/C is a must have .. I live in Oregon and we have 2 in our RV and use them a bunch .. can't imagine the heat there ! 👍👍

u do some funny projects man lol i get a kick out of ur fun toys

Excellent video Low Buck Garage :) also take lots work yes and interesting job did on Air Conditioning in bus camper too !

Thank you James!

Love this channel.

well done with the install by your self mate looks great cheers Quinny you diverse a Rum after that 🥃🥃

Awesome videos

TSP is the bomb for prepping before painting. Some people may want to use gloves. Excellent progression. When you said the parents went to "conventions" in it, I assumed you meant Dead concerts, where they sold merch.

Great job!

Always look forward to your fun escapades

Perhaps use that sound deadener on the ceiling in bus? Might help insulate. Keep having fun bloke

Thanks again 😉👍

Another great video!

Wondering if spray foam insulation would work in the empty spaces in your roof? Of course I would expect the before and after testing! Keep having fun.

Nice work!!

Nice work,

I have to fix this to move that to lift this is the story of my life. I also employ the push and kick a block method of moving things around.

excellent video,

That was fun. I would like to see it running on the inverter....powered by the engine driven Alternator...

I'm guessing Dad splurged on the AC unit,😉, I just can't see you buying something new like that, when you could've gotten a used one for less than a third of the price, 🙄, lol, are you going to do anything about the rust under the trim-pieces?, I'd hate too see a gem like that old bus get turned to scrap over something so easy too fix, awesome video, thanks for sharing.😁👍
