might want to change the hubs and wheels on the bus , these type of wheels are kinda dangerous to remove and istall if youre not experienced with them , ask any big rig tirecenter/installer , they usually dont want to touch them aspecially if there split rims kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nraAd72Jmqq9fIE.html&ab_channel=ryan000s might take a bit of investigating but usually the front and rearaxles are used in a multitude of vehicled in both the daiton / spiderwheels or the normal rims and the hubs should be interchangabe

@@AdventuresofSkyla good idea as the tires will usually get flat spots on them during the build , i seen a few conversions on youtube and usually they take between one or two years ,depending on how mush you tear out of the bus (removing roofskin adding insulation, raising the roof , tearing out the wiring / heating/ aircon etc the bus is usually sitting in one spot during this time , when you replace the rims and tires before the trip you have a fresh set of rubber and they whont be aged from sitting in the sun all that time the long time sitting is usually the reason why the bus starts having problems once you start using it again , moisture causing rust in the airbrakes , dried out v belts and oilseals rust on sliding parts things seizing up from moisture/rust stuff like that dont respond well to sitting for that long another good idea would be to put cribbing under the frame (stacks of wood ) jacking up and shimming the frame so the bus floor is level during the build even if the bus is sitting on unlevel ground , this makes the build out a little eazier as you can actually use a (laser) level and a plumb bob to set up walls and stuff

We don’t have air breaks and we won’t be taking. 2 years with our build, we will be done in a max 6 months. Dwaynes working on it full time and me part time so we have no excuse for 2 years. Our van only took 8 months and that was with us working full time! We are also on level ground because we are at a friends with a levelled parking spot.

Hello from the U.S.👋🏽 (New York City to be exact), your video was recommended to me, so I thought I would give it a watch. Awesome choice on the bus length for sure. Looking forward to your buildout. Good luck with everything and safe travels. Oh, and of course, your fur baby is absolutely adorable. 😀

Amazing, thank you for sharing! I'm trying to plan a similar trip for my cat from London to San Francisco, but no airline flying direct accepts in-cabin pets, so I'm looking for a Swiss option, LHR-Zurich-SFO. But now Swiss tells me no in-cabin pets are allowed to embark from London. Could this be a new rule or simply incorrect information?
@AdventuresofSkyla2 күн бұрын
No worries! It all depends on the airline. Animals can’t fly in cabin back into the UK but they can fly out, but it is literally dependent on the airline.

I would have deff chosen a longer bus. Your options are limited with a bus this of this length.
@AdventuresofSkyla5 күн бұрын
We didn’t want a longer bus…. We purely wanted max 27ft so that our options for parking it are high than with a longer one. We are used to a lot smaller spaces than this. Considering we lived in a truck camper and a sprinter van. Everyone has their own preference. 🙂

Hi there, Thanks for posting this. We like to know , have you bring your dog back to uk? Because air Canada says from uk to Canada is fine with them. But on return from Canada to London uk immigration won’t allow the dog back to uk. This is sound absurd. Can you please let us know Were you encountered any issues when you bring the pet back to uk.❤
@AdventuresofSkyla9 күн бұрын
Hi, no we have not but they are correct it isn’t an air Canada thing it is a uk airport thing. We will (if we fly back) fly either into Ireland or Europe. Then travel back by other means.

Thanks! Either fly into Ireland or fly into Europe. Ireland would be easier as we have friends there and can get the ferry over to wales where we are from. Europe also wouldn’t be too hard as a lot of our friends live in their vans there and would just bring us back with them.

Can I just check, when you were going through security with Tank and they asked if he could stand up and turn around, was the pop top up or zipped down for that?
@AdventuresofSkyla24 күн бұрын
Nope security didn’t check him. It’s the check in desk that would ask that, but they didn’t they just weighed him. But I had checked that he could stand up and turn around because I had heard of that being a possibility to be asked.

@@gm3899 He could do both, just about with the top down. We had him get used to it with it down for a few weeks before, but we had it popped up the whole time so it could squidge slightly under the seat.

So we were pretty lucky because I had an American google number so I called the Canadian number advertised. I would try and email them if you can because to book your pup on it can only be done over the phone. I didn’t try the UK number because I didn’t want it to cost me. Sorry! Glad the video was useful though!
