In this video we install our slide outs, show how we insulated our bus, and painting our bus. This video takes you from where pt 1. finished to for the most part our bus completed

By the way, I was rolling over the idea in my mind about doing a slide out on a larger shuttle bus, not even knowing how you'd even make one. Aha, gutting an existing one, of course! Another video a guy welded steel beams and boy it all looked heavy. Yours looks properly fitted. But still too much work for my abilities and lack of facilities. But that looks really beautifully done.

I love how you thoroughly insulated the entire bus and sealed it well. Very thorough work! I didn't do research prior to building and insulating my bus. But the entire build has been a learning experience for me, as I did it on my own............as I was rushing to get part of the business open and running, so that I could make the money that I spent back.........as well as pay my bills! I sure do miss all the men I once knew that I could run to when concerning my vision and the direction I wanted to go with things. Although I did meet a few men with various crafts that were essential to me learning and knowing all that I need to know about my bus, I still wish I had those ole skool minds and the energy that came with our relationships. Love the way you insulted your bus, as well as the extended piece that you added! You made everything look so easy! I am so glad that I watched this!

I love it!!! I've done a lot of construction in my day. Started as a framer. Did almost everything myself on my first personal home. GC'd over 1,000 homes from 98 to 08. Then went into architectural design. With retirement on the horizon, I really want to design/build my own off grid, tiny house/RV, sell the house and hit the road full time. A search for DIY slide outs brought up your vids, and I've been watching your stuff for the last several hours through a night of insomnia. Now I'm more stoked than ever to start working on my own totally unique design build. Thank you for the inspiration!

You say you are no engineer but I say you are an excellent example of a mechatronics engineer and your credentials are not in some institutional diploma but in your real world creation. I never finished high school but I've published two books and recieved praised from people more highly educated than I could achieve. And by my example, my three children all became highly successful in their fields. I tell you that because you and your wife are instilling into your son's an appreciation and knowledge of work skills, work ethic and genuine character building. Congratulations on being excellent parents. Bus is really nice as well!

OK. I'm not even all the way through this. I have been SEARCHING for people who did slides because I wanted to do one in a conversion I am planing. YOU did a FANTASTIC JOB! I'm not even done and I just wanted to come say that! I'm a woman and this may sound strage, but YOU ABSOLUTELY NAILED THIS CONVERSION! Everything came together! I didn't know where you were going with the look, but WHEW...it is BEAUTIFUL! I love this build! It is exactly what I had in mind minus a few details. Your schoolie is one of the absolute best builds I have ever seen, which is saying A LOT given how many I have seen! Kudos to you & thanks for sharing! Love this! Pat yourself on the back! You deserve it! After watching until the end, I have ONE suggestion! Can you give us a few seconds of your build WITHOUT the popups for the other videos at the end? That is the ONLY negative. Great job!
@greyscalesx2 жыл бұрын
Yes but I've been wondering if all of that they did is legal. I've seen so many ppl make decks that provide from the back or hangmechanisms or pull out modifications to their vehicles. And many of them got citations. In the end it could stay parked but unless all of it was removed it was forbidden to be on road, so it needed to be towed everywhere. You should absolutely check out the different regulations bc not being allowed to drive it or fines are not the only risks.
