and use my code "JUICEBOX" at checkout for $50 off your order! Thanks for your support! In this video we pick up a new bus conversion!!! Almost immediately we broke down, froze our butts off, and eventually made it back to sunny southern Florida. This new bus is a 2000 Bluebird CSRE34 (34 foot rear engine) with a Cummins 8.3 engine retired from service as a University of San Jose student shuttle bus. Bus #304 to be exact. We were pumped to finally find this bus to convert for our friends Katy and Sam and will be doing a whole conversion series here on the youtubes.

For me, the ideas in kzfaq.infoUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.

Hiya.. you need to buy an underblanket for the hammock, it connects underneath the hammock, not compressing and trapping the warm heat from your body in the space between... You'll notice the difference will be 100% warmer.. I'm in Scotland and use this system all the time, in minus 0 ..

Hey guys, this comment will be a little late but can be used for future reference, you should carry a gas/brake line flare kit. Just stumbled onto your channel today and like it very much. Bus looks great and you have an amazing family! Keep up the good work!

I truly enjoyed your video sorry that you had so many problems . this is just a suggestion as a long distance trucker also I live in a bus RV cuz I'm now retired. Get you a wabasco diesel heater. It runs off the diesel in your tank it doesn't use much fuel and it'll keep the inside of your bus warm. I wish you guys all the best of luck really enjoy your videos, your Rv friend😎👍🇺🇲🇺🇲

love my gilli!! but it broke down when bringing home! IT WAS 110 Me and my dog. we had a portable ac and a gen to run it, for 3 days could not move no rooms no shop the whole time had i known about the safety bypass switches, the brakes would not go off the wheelchair ramp thought it was out. the tow truck hit it with its lift and evey thing stared working! but i had to pay him with a tow or not. so 150mile tow

Hey Justin, can you tell us what the interior height and width of this bus is? I’m thinking of looking for a transit instead of your typical school bus, and I’m wondering what you think the pros and cons are. Thanks! Great build!

@MobileDwellings Жыл бұрын

This bus is 96 inches wide just like a school bus. There are transit buses that are 102 inches wide but I'm not sure id want to drive anything wider. I believe the empty bus ceiling height was 77 inches just like a tall school bus. Basically this bus shares a chassis with the bluebird school buses and is just constructed slightly differently

If you can't fix it, don't buy it ! There is no way that JB Weld is going to stick on a wet fuel line. The easiest way to fix that line would have been to cut the line and slip a piece of fuel hose (1/2" ?) over it and secure both ends with hose clamps. Should have parked the bus, taken an Uber to someplace to buy the tools you needed and a piece of hose and hose clamps. 1 hour fix. The other way to fix that line would be to have it brazed. Any reputable welding or HVAC shop could do it. Pull the line, take an Uber to the shop, have it done, Uber back, install it and you are good to go. I don't know how many times RV/Bus people need to hear this, but Good Sams and other towing services are absolutely useless. Min. service time is 6 hours. They hate moving RVs and buses. You'll get a claim on your insurance and your premium will go up. Half the time people get their RV towed to a place that either doesn't want to fix it or won't. Or will charge you $$$ for fixing it. Learn to fix things yourself. Buy the tools, buy the shop manual. Get your hands dirty.

How much was the purchase price

I'm pretty sure Sam and Katy paid $7K for this, maybe a little less.
