The 2020 bus conversion continues...the skoolie fresh water fill up door arrived (a little late). This houses the gravity fill for our fresh water tank as well as the city water street pressure connection and air vent. We had to cut a hole in the bus, so grab a snack or a drink and enjoy this week's episode, "skoolie fresh water fill up and gravity fill. This door can also be used for an rv water fill, well for an rv fresh water fill.

I'm almost finished with my skoolie conversion. It's a 40ft Blue Bird and its taken me almost 2 years! My challenge for August is not to eat anything with a mother or a face (plants only) and I decided to jump on the plant-based train because of the health benefits.

Thank you! That’s awesome. Our trip to Montana a few years back did it for us. Kept thinking about being out in beautiful areas. And now here we are!

Love the intro and the new video format! Congratulations on meeting your challenge objectives. Question: Are you installing an RV style washer/dryer machine combo?

@TaleOfTwoSmittys 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Sensforce! Yes, it will be a combo unit. Stay tuned for more details!!

Thanxs for your informative and motivating vid. I have a problem, can you help? I don't know which type tube and fittings I should use for the gravitu fill port. Please help. The tank will have spin weld fittings installed by the factory. So I need to know what hose and fittings to get.

@TaleOfTwoSmittys 3 жыл бұрын

Well it really depends on the fittings themselves. As far as I'm aware, spin welding is the process to install the fittings by the manufacturer, but there are still different types/sizes of fittings. Do you have any other details? Happy to try and help. Or even photos of the fittings?

I'm thinking of buying a short bus but it's the kind that was used for handicapped and elderly transport. Because it's much lower to the ground than a regular bus, do you think it's possible to install grey/black tanks underneath the bus. I haven't gone to look at the bus yet and when I do I still won't be able to see underneath due to my age and health issues. I would have to hire all work done but don't want to invest if plumbing isn't possible. Thanks

Maybe a stupid question but what do you do about the tiny pieces of plastic shavings that end up inside the tank when drilling holes? Do you just flush the system a bunch of times?

@TaleOfTwoSmittys 3 жыл бұрын

Not a stupid question and something I overlooked initially. You should definitely cut those holes before install so it’s easier to flush out. Took some extra work to rinse that out. We have a strainer on the front side of the pump as a fail safe, too.

@@TaleOfTwoSmittys thanks for the quick response! Definitely something I'll keep in mind when we begin our build. Your series has been super helpful and can't thank you enough for sharing. Best of luck with everything!

What kind of door is that and where did u get it? Any specific measurements?

@TaleOfTwoSmittys 4 жыл бұрын

We show a bit more of the box in tomorrow’s video, but we made it out of diamond plate sheet metal and bolted some brackets on the back to stiffen it. We matched the size to the hole we cut out of the bus (and let it hang lower).
