I think one thing that gets overlooked is fire suppression. I’d look into getting one for the bus considering how your entire operation is in there and it’s a fairly long process to get the car out

It’s on the list he’s mentioned it in the first episode i think

he hasn't even bothered inspecting the suspension or brakes yet, or basically any of the actually important stuff.

@Shadowband72 11 ай бұрын

@@Avbodenbrakes and suspension are something you can tell if there's anything wrong by simply driving the vehicle . Even a professional mechanic will take a car for a test drive before removing and replacing parts . He drove it all the way home from Maryland , if there was anything wrong I'm pretty sure he would have figured it out by now .

@@Shadowband72I've heard " oh, I just thought that was how they all drive" way too often to believe in that. When you get a new vehicle (especially if it is a bus and you are not used to busses), you have no clue what is normal to feel while driving.

NEED TO BUY STANDALONE NEW CARBON MONOXIDE detectors for cabin and garage for when generators running at night etc. do not trust the one old stock camper one if it even has one. On that same note check generator exhaust for leaks and proper routing as well.

I've had an Eagle bus for the past 15 years. If you haven't yet, check the DOT date code on the tires. I've had two blowouts, both were tires with plenty of tread but over 12 years old. It's quite exciting when it happens.

I would have done a red led strip for temporary backlighting on that dash. Lower wavelength lights don’t mess up your night vision as bad as white or blue lights.

@osoquik4447 11 ай бұрын

Taylor, small recommendation: maybe add studs and wing nuts to the generator cover? Save you the hassle on varying bolt head sizes and essentially becomes tool-less to remove it.

Heads up on the electric tools. A charging station on the side wall and some 3D printed battery holders to store the batteries for travel would add organization and reduce risk. It is rare but the batteries do catch on fire. People don't think it happen but it do.

For the burnout contest... That was a big pit, could someone try drifting around the perimeter for like a minute? Seems like it would show off driving skill, and would sent the smoke around the perimeter for a decent portion of the run, so people could actually see the cars.
