VGG is one of my heroes, that guy is so cool and cracks me up. And you can tell he's a great person

thanks for watching ronald, i couldnt afford a bus unless i built it, ill tell ya that. and this build is very slow because i sure dont make enough to go fast when im spending my own money!

@@ChuckCassadyYT very true buses are expensive when built right but they last a hell of a lot longer that any other RV out there.

Thank you! I'm hoping!

sounds like a good plan if you can!

Glad to help!

thank you nancy! means a lot to share this with you

@@ChuckCassadyYT do you think it would be possible to extend the upper roof over the windsheild a few feet and create an rv style nook bed?

I've seen it done!

@@ChuckCassadyYT thankyou sir i appreciate that. Ive been planning on that going into my build but i was unsure if it was possible, ur vids are fantastic btw. New sub. Can you do a video on installing windows into the bus? I have a bunch of rain textured double paned Insulated glass i want to install as windows but im unsure how to go about doing so

@@beansbulletsandbandages891 it's coming

Thank you!

glad someone said it!

hahaha sorry!

Avdel Interlock SSPI-08-06

Skoolie.com has then

No real reason to paint something that is already galvanized but it wouldn't hurt

I get them locally from a company called h & h. They are not national

the spray foam insulation will take care of that! great question though

ah brian, a fellow riveteer! yes, theyre awesome fasteners!

@@ChuckCassadyYT it's kinda funny how some people don't even think of such a simple product be used will save hundreds of hours resealing the wrong rivets.

@@briandavis9975 1000%

Hear hear! I've been an aircraft sheetmetal guy for the last 16 years and yeah... watching so many people do amazing things with their buses but still use hollow pop rivets instead of cored fasteners like Cherrymax always makes me cringe a little!

You only make that mistake once

i found the answer, put a washer on the backside and it will grip

I add sealer before exterior paint

Nope, we just pry open the gap and stick it up in there

@@ChuckCassadyYT Thanks for the reply! Im working on a roof raise on a thomas 38ft. And youre videos are exceptional!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I’m curious about this also. I seen him comment on another saying he adds sealant after, but I am curious as to how. Would it be better to do one panel at a time adding Sikaflex?

i dont see why not, but then again, i dont know much about horses or trailers haha :)

What did you end up doing?

You can get cheaper rivets but they are not the correct rivets and will cause other issues like water intrusion. There are good reasons why he uses the products he uses and the least of concern is cost. To do a good job doing structural work requires certain materials to perform the task and he is quality conscious and is not willing to substitute cheap materials to keep price Down. It costs what it costs to do a job right , period. We can build a cheaper home by using furring strips for studs , and why not, you won’t see them anyways once the siding and Sheetrock are installed but there are structural requirements for the health and safety of the homeowner so is your safety in your bus worth saving $500 by buying lower quality materials? You get what you pay for and there are good reasons why we are having trouble now insuring our buses that have had this type of modification done cause folks are substituting lower quality materials than were originally used in the construction of the bus to save $500 and it lowers the safety potential of the bus and when something happens, the insurance company is on the hook to pay for that mistake, not the individual that cut corners so they have found it’s better business practice for them to not insure us at all If certain mods have been done. It’s not worth cutting these corners! In the end, it will always cost you much more than you saved. Take a little extra time if you need to to save up an additional $500-$1k to buy the proper materials to do it right if needed but you do not need to it corners on your materials

Prior to paint the seams will get sealed

Its 1/4" diameter hole

@@ChuckCassadyYT What length rivet did you use? And are those stainless steel?

It's nearly the same! Skoolie.com sells custom window deletes just for that!

@@ChuckCassadyYT Thank you! We're thinking of using self-tapping screws to attach the delete to the post so the vibrations don't pull from the vertical plane. Have you tried this before?

@@mznix1971 we use rivets for that kind of thing

@@mznix1971 screws will vibrate loose over time and will actually back all the way out. Don’t try and reinvent the wheel here! It’s not rocket science and we have one of the best bus guys trying to show you the best way to do all this so just take notes and follow the riven methods that will last the life of the bus and and provide a safe vehicle for you!

I’ve been wondering this as well. Might need to ask during one of his live streams

Welcome aboard! email is the only way im really reachable

I’m sure they’re well intentioned but they are mistaken. At least for these type of rivet. Min hole spec is .261 and an f bit is smaller than that at .257

wondered the same thing - maybe they don't show that to hide the "tricks of the trade" Seems like how they would do it like you said.
