First time I've seen a sensible sized kitchen. Having spent many years touring in a caravan, that's all the kitchen you get and it's all you need. You just adapt. I now have a narrowboat with a walk through bathroom, sounds odd but it's the best use of space. This Bus conversion is well thought out and spacious.

And GAS GUZZLING - just to move it is a considerable financial undertaking! AND school bus yellow has to be painted over = $$$$$. Been there!! Work, tools, time, equipment hauling, $$$. Used RVs are available for a steal from disgruntled retirees. They also have a growing CHILD that will need more and more space and a place - for school etc, if they thought THAT out!

Great build and including family is awesome! Two questions... Didn't see it in video, but did you insulate the floor at all? and will you do solar?

@ColaVentures 3 жыл бұрын

I have thought about the idea of solar but I haven't ever gotten around to hooking it up. We did have an inverter and batteries that were charged while driving or when plugged in but now we are fully connected to shore power while we rent it on AirBnb. We didn't insulate the floor. I couldn't spare the headroom and didn't want to do a roof raise.

I DO LOVE this Build though IT LOOKS SO FUN!!! NIC EONE GUYS I SUBBED!!

@ColaVentures 2 жыл бұрын

Sometimes the insulation is moldy and nasty so it's nice to tear out. We also wanted a wood roof. Might just screw wood into the metal if we're doing it again. It also allows you to run wires or lights up above.

@matthewames3864 Жыл бұрын

I really appreciate the video and showing us what you have done My sister-in-law has the same exact bus pretty much and we are doing it right now on a budget of course . We are using the pink foam insulation like you did in the walls I want to know how well that's working ? I'm also curious why you didn't insulate your floor with the foam board ? Thank you ! Great job for a home built.

@ColaVentures Жыл бұрын

We didn't insulate the floor because we didn't want to lose the 1.5 inches in height. I'm 6ft tall so I was already pushing the limit and didn't want to do a roof raise. I might recommend going with spray foam insulation if you are in an extreme climate. It works fine for the PNW where we are but winters and summers are generally more mild. But if you keep all your original windows, going all out on insulation is probably a waste since the 40 single pane windows will let in so much cold/heat. Let me know if you have any other questions on the build!

@matthewames3864 Жыл бұрын

@@ColaVentures ok thank you. I agree with what you're saying . Here in Texas it gets really really hot in the summer so any kind of insulation is going to help out deflecting the heat and keeping the cool in for I understand about the windows. Reflective bubble roll stuff works great for blocking out the sun .

Bus was 3,500 about 4 years ago. They have gone up recently. We didn't go with solar but depending on your system you could be really expensive or just get a tiny solar system and save big time. We are fully connected to shore power.
