"It's very loud in this bus, we are trying to make it not so loud" adds straight pipe. Lol 😂

The movie was "Convoy" with Kris Kristofferson :)

This is funny. Love your bus and video. About 3 months ago I was splitting lanes on the 405 freeway in Los Angeles going North bound when I ran across a Black Skooklie bus with some stuff on the back about going across America and Something About Harley's. I remember thinking that Black is a terrible color for Los Angeles because of the heat, and how I've always wanted to have a converted school bus to travel and live in. Any ways I was pleasantly surprised when you actually moved over to let me ride though. I gave you a courtesy wave but I was actually waving to you and the fact you were in a school bus. Now three months later I run across you and your bus on You Tube.

In the middle of the mojave desert and the whole thing is painted black.... holy shit!

Scooter is the BOSS. He picks up all the chicks. Haul ass Scooter.

This just makes me miss being on the road even more.

Really impressive. You have done a great job. No negatives. Thanks for the tour.

That is funny about the paint and now seeing them, that is always how it goes, you don't see one anywhere then bam. I travel the country drag racing, I street race, no prep, and grudge and I am building a new schoolie to pull my enclosed race car trailer. It is cheaper, lots of room, and safer than a camper. I do custom frame off automotive restoration customization and I was gonna paint, but my buddy paints houses and we took grey tractor paint and put a lot of extra hard hardener in it and it's like a enamel with the integrative clear, nice wet look for what it is ($350) whole bus. I went with the Aims Power MPPT 60 amp controller with Aims 4000 watt pure sin wave inverter, and Aims LCD Inverter remote charger, generator, shore power, and doing 2-100 gal water tanks due to people like you saying at least more better. I have a toilet hooked to black tank so need the more water. I will say you have been a big inspiration to me and I wanna start next yr with my channel and Facebook page doing videos of the in's and outs of the true street and track racing and what happens behind it all and repairs and im gonna do videos of everyday life of me riding the Asheville, NC Appalachian/Smokey Mountains I live in . I want it to be the life of me Jason. Sorry so long! Thank you for the inspiration!

Adam is a living legend big up brother you inspire most of us out here love from South Africa

thumbs up for some one who actually modded the engine and talked about the MPG numbers. I know that smaller rv homes or whatever you want to call them probably get the same.

Nice job! Wish I would have seen this video a few months back. Workin on my skoolie these past few months, you make it sound easy. Trust me brother, I know how hard it is to do what you did. A lot of fbombs. Great work!

I'm headed on the road beginning in June. I have a Chihuahua and a Pomeranian that travel so awesome with me. I keep telling my lil' Fur babies how much fun we are gonna have driving around and exploring. God Bless y'all and everyone who travel with you! Keep save and watch your selves, Amen🕊🙏🏼😇

That is a cool bus. Scooter flips me out. Enjoying your docurides. Keep up the great work.

Schoolie is wonderful! Great job in transforming the school bust! The front side mirrors that were taken out was made to watch out for children around the lower front end of the bus extending outward, radius. None needed to drive the bus. Thnx for sharing! 'keep-On-A-Rocking-N-A-Rolling!' :)

So cool. Love the gritty, flat black look. I'm a girl of the 50's and always loved the guys with the primered trucks. So many things to love about this bus that it's hard to know where to start. Lots of underseat storage and sleeping space is at the top of the list. Love the wooden shade valance. If the shades don't work. Have someone make slide across single panel curtains out of unbleached muslin. I've made them many times and they go with any decor. They would suit the simple industrial look great. I'm so impressed that you didn't over design the bus and kept all (most) of the windows etc. I love it. Love the bathroom. Seems easy to put a potty in there. I've never seen that layout. I was real close to buying a short bus...chickened out. Might still do it, eventually.

I have been thinking of converting a school bus into an RV. You have definitely given me a plan. Thanks for this video. 👍😊

Love the flat black paint job! Thanks for the power/speed improvement tips. Not so concerned with speeding, as I'm sure you aren't with the bus, but lowering rpm. The big singles replacing the dual rear tires has got to be the most outstanding, effective, and simplest way to reduce rpms! Thanks for sharing. Awesome video. I have watched dozens of these, and I got more information from yours than several of the others put together. Thank you. Darryl

You did a great job on your bus man. I used it as an example to show my mother how nice busses can be converted. These ford's are real nice busses too I'm either going with the Ford and the 5.9 or a international

👍💡The magnetic flash lights for lighting is a terrific idea. 💡😁👍

Extremely, extremely cool skoolie. I LOVE it. The flat black paint must mean the rig gets pretty darn hot inside no? But it looks brilliant. The interior is clean and functional and bright looking. Great work and I am so impressed you did it on the road -- I am on the road while rehabing a vintage motorhome and I know how much work it is.

Cool stuff , keep on rolling and be safe .

Great job, loved the tour, great simple ideas....may steal some... keep us up to date, thanks.

I liked very much everything of the bus, its conversion, and presentation was perfect too.

working on a 2003 73 pass Buss camping this year Wisconsin as well . .nice job.

OMG! I didn't know you crossed over to the skoolie side! I have my skoolie for the same reason & added a small deck on back to carry my bike.

I saw the bus on I20 westbound 6 May!! Awesome!

Great presentation. Great job on the Bus.

Wow, that's sick! Love it!!

Well now I want a bus for Touring Midwest. looks pretty cool Adam, thanks for the tour.

Nice lookin' rig! Good job. Building one myself for ATV's...a couple of things. Super singles look bad ass, a tubbed skoolie. I was talked out of the super singles on the rear 'cause they're a thousand dollar bill on the side of the road up here in the great white north. Dual rears gives you two spares, you could rob one from the rear to use on the front in an emergency or remove the flat one on the rear and still get closer to point B. The other thing is I've painted with flat paint and the best it looks is right after you paint it, very hard to keep clean. So I decided to paint with a matte drab military green and matte black. Got the 5.9 cummins in mine as well with a 5 speed... in a dog nose Freightliner/Thomas, no heat on the feet...8.3 would have been nice.

Rustoleum matte white for me, window coverings are a big challenge. Somethings are live and learn what works! Sick Ride Rubber Ducky. Awesome Movie.

Nice video resolution! Thank you for the great info.

Now that is a nice looking Blue Bird. Love the Duck. That Duck is from the movie Convoy.

Great info on the drivetrain. The first thing I will do with mine is upgrading it.

Awesome Cvma sticker buddy! I met you at a Cvma state meeting in Tennessee a couple years ago. Keep up the great work.

Good job Adam very innovative.

That's absolutely awesome and the best bus video on KZfaq

Thanks for the video Adam

wow so many cool ideas and inspiration for my future project.

Guapo hogar. Adan, es usted el mejor. Saludos y cuídese.

Great jon and nice lay out. Cool vid,man

Way cool bus man, I just got one similar to yours so thanks for info on the engine upgrades it is so under powered now

That 12 valve Cummins is a good engine! I rode to school in a 1995 Thomas/Ford conventional with the same engine. When our Bus Driver, Jim, floored it, it would move, had no electronic engine controls, and hardly ever broke down!

Cool Bus, I like it great job.

Pretty awesome road house.. ! Great ideas, & great vlog! 🇺🇸✌🇺🇸

Nice. I plan to paint mine flat army green with a flat khaki tan roof so it's nice to know that the spay can touch up works well. I also have the same inverter so it's nice to know that it has held up well for you as well. I'm thinking about putting the A/C unit under the floor though.

Used rustolium on my van bumpers too... used frozen pizza box for masking and some prep wipe pads and thats it few layers 👍

Thinking “Cinvoy” by C W McCall, that ignited the C B radio craze in the ‘70’s.

Super cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Want to do this as a home and travel.

Great video with the best budget build open floor plan. Well done and give us a video of regrets and what you should have done different on the build if you already haven't done so. Thanks and thumbs up to you and your crew......

Use some pastidip or flexseal to paint your bus. It bounces rocks and doesn't chip, also helps with insulation.

Nice build. Love your tats

We didn't loose you did we. It's so hard to find a moto vlogger on a cruiser. (Well a good one anyway)I wish I had your job. Come on more videos!!!! If your ever though Nevada and need repairs hit me up.

The roof vent manufacturer makes a fan that goes in the hatch. It works great and is not expensive. Having a way to move air through when you are not in motion is very important on hot days.

WAO VERY NICE WORK

Cool bus I love it

very nice.... I like the entire setup...

fantastic mate

Super coool !

Plastidip (comes in spray cans or u can buy it by the gallon to put in a sprayer) or u can do a plastic wrap. I saw a guy had his truck done in a flat gray. He said it had been 3 years and was holding up perfect. Just some alternatives to the flat black spray can with constant updates. 😄

really nice bus love it

Great looking Bus , I'd like to own it.. Nice

GREAT JOB .....

Hey guys thanks for all the videos please keep em coming you can buy some cheap 1/4 - 1/2 thick insulation at a hardware store like home depot that has a sticky side it's for like garage doors anyways you can use that all over your fire wall and the pullout inside to kill off allot of the engine heat and if you need to cut pieces to size before sticking just use some cardboard box pieces cut to size for templates hope this helps, laters

Convoy. Awesome movie

That's one badass bus Adam, Igor lol great name also

Very cool!

That bus is fancy

Nice bus conversion.

Hey Adam it's evan Martinez not sure if you remember me but I fought on the first season of combat use at 135 anyways it's crazy I came across this video but it's good to see you're doing well and keep up all the good work sick van as well . Be safe keep up the good work

That's a bad ass bus brother 👍

Great tour of the bus, man. I like the way you made it your own for your own purposes. I'm putting together a bus build of my own right now, and your style has certainly rubbed off onto some of my plan. Thanks! (And great channel. I've checked out some of your biker vids and they're really great. )

I’ve never heard of increasing the RPM. Interesting

Now install a pushbar, life support, a backup generator, A shitter, a shower, some armor, weapon and fuel storage, spotlights car carrier, larger alternator and razor-wire, and you have a shtf bus.

Love it!

This really gives me alot of ideas for my tiny home project I wanna do but in my own gearhead way I sent a message to the diesel brothers to see if they will do modifications to school buses I'm guessing they can since the one I'm planning on getting has a t444e aka 7.3l powerstroke

Fantástico. Parabéns

Loooove it! As far as noise is concerned ,I'm wondering if maybe you put a wood ceiling up and covered up maybe just a few of the windows? The only thing is with the wood it would weigh down the bus more. It would probably cut down the noise and it would be really beautiful as well.. Gosh I just realized that this is 3 years old ..I don't even know if you're going to get this message, lol

1:14: I was thinking: Yeah, Ford chassis this guy knows what he's talking about. 1:16: I heard him say "Blue Bird Edition" and took it back. All things considered, this is pretty cool.

luv the bus so basic but functional

Great bus. Basic, but has everything to survive. Mobile base to edit.

Very cool! maybe consider lightweight solar panels on the roof for added power!

Asome!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!

Add an air ride suspension. Also a roof rack would be great. When you are running rural, someone can film from the roof rack for a really daring view.

There's a pull screw cruise control available at most truck stops . It's a cable on s pull n screw method

Just watched you video and read what it is you do.....Good Luck, just subscribed

The duck is from the movie Convoy. My husband drives a semi and said it right when the camera showed it!

Good bus!!

nice bus man ! im about to hit the road in mine this may...

Really liked your video. Of all the skoolie conversion vids, I was surprised to discover sofar yours is the only one I've viewed that demonstrated how you increased the mph. I have a '93 Thomas S 3700 series (with Navstar 3.7L diesel engine). And the speed on it I think maybe goes 50+ down hill. I floor it and it is passed by traffic like it's setting still. The previous owners had the rear gear ratio changed, but the speed change from maybe 15 mph to 50 ( he claims it can go 60 ) So my question to you is can any old bus be changed to go faster like u did on your skoolie?

DynaMat makes some good sound stuff that will work with heat and sound.
