Thank you! It did work VERY WELL! For a $5,000.00 Deisal RV with all the fixn's! nothing out there for that price!

Ouch -- That was Harsh bro, but I getcha; Personally, I can't STAND that kind of crude clutter re: the gangline & boxes in the middle of the roof; He coulda drilled small holes & snaked wires on the 'other' side of the roof skins to eliminate exposed wire channel. Easy 'nuff to do. Good idea about recycling oak cabinet doors, but I'm not fond of the glueboard, heavy AND a lotta chemical outgassing (which I guess you can paint to seal, but then paint is a dead, dull surface). Anyway, Good Luck!

Well this bus was a first timer and with NO $ to spend! so I did what i could to make somthing we could use. I did and it as OK at the best, I have sold the bus at the end of the summer for what I put into it. $6,000.00 So the next one will be MUCH different. Have a look at all 9 videos I made enjoy. Kyle

No none taken, I did try to run through the roof but the school bus has hat shaped roof supports every 2' and are thick as a brick! Do you have a bus your working on?

[kaosa1]

Ya no kiding, I wish I have the $ to do it right but it all worked and we hade some fun with it. It sold at the snd of the summer for $6,000 about what I had into it, so alls well that ends well!

Wow...Such negativity from folks who apparently can't do any better. Nice job on the bus...I hope mine comes out as good. I ain't the handiest guy, but I'll be happy with "it works!"

Wow your going to freeze in the winter for not removing the inside metal walls & ceiling where you COULD have run your lights inside the ceiling. Your foam will not keep you warm. Need to remove the floor check for rust places then build it out insulate it from under the floor. Check our web site for more info

Nice start did you get it finished?

i was thinking about doing an ambulance conversion its smaller

[kalinga01]

Nice project. Are you gonna keep some of the features of the school bus, such as the lighting, emergency exits, etc?

[NoiseMostBeautiful]

too cool. I'd love to sweat equity out our first coach, but with my limited time and skills we'll probably end up getting a "bought" motorhome. I look forward to viewing your other videos. When and how did you get your ideas and equipment together to start tackling bus conversions? I have a few items together I had drug up for building rowboats for our big local resevour which is a no-motor lake, plenty of demand for human powered boats. good luck to you and thanks for the video!
