United States
Registrace 5. 06. 2009
Made the switch to Bus Life after 4 years of full time RVing in a Toyota Motorhome. Starting a school bus conversion for future home and adventures! DIY, Travel, Mopeds, and life on the road.
#skoolie Marine Roof Hatch, Summer Mopeding, and Roof Coating!
Wrapped up the summer with lots of moped riding and some improvements on the bus roof.
Got rid of rooftop emergency exits and installed a marine roof hatch! Lots of prep work but managed to coat the roof with Henrys "Tropi-cool" before winter comes.

How thick was the tape you used
How were you finally able to install the new fuel filter? Could you update the video on your solution as we are trying to do ours and can’t figure out how to get the bottom of filter in the hose.
Would you be able to tell me what the threading is on the tank
Squirting carb cleaned in the intake doesn’t clean the carb The brass bolt on the bottom of the bowl is where the jets are that need cleaning There’s also a second jet you access below a phillips head screw from the top Take the phillips off and look down to a tiny brass jet that you can remove with a small flathead screw driver To get to that top screw mentioned above With the bowl off you can pull the manifold to carb bolts out and wiggle the carb off look at how the linkages Ho and turn the carb sideways and remove them Those two things are causing the surging
I have a frig that looks like your stove. ;)
Miss your videos bro
🥹 Miss making them. My computer is dead and I just haven’t had the money to get things back up and running. Maybe a update phone edit is in order.
@@MrJpat88 that’s what’s up
Where did u go u haven’t been on here in awhile
Hey what up , just wanna ask why didn’t you install the second piece of aluminum tubing?
What are the part numbers. Online, there are numerous different sparkplug, air, and fuel filters, and the online owners' manual doesn't say. Also, thank you for the video it's very helpful.
The added MPG comes from it drawing warmer air . Now it does make more sound . Thanks for posting
I'm a nascar fan i would love travel and work the races has anybody ever done that
I've got the same RV, all original, but powered by Datsun/Nissan- a little more horsepower, manual 5-speed, and equally unkillable. It's a great "family" to be part of. Road-Turtles Unite !
👍 Do you still live in it
i just bought your old seabreeze !!!
I’m so sorry to hear that hahaha just kidding that’s so cool how is it?!?
@@MrJpat88 It's needing some interior paint ,still has good bones...can't believe I saw you with it !! Hahaha.. you did some very nice work on it ,she runs very well. Love your videos!
@@dwizzoo haha thanks yep I replaced basically everything but the fridge and stove 😅 I may have installed the check valve backwards in the water heater if you find it’s not giving how water that may be why. Didn’t piece it all together until a year ago working as a rv technician the valve points away not towards the tank. Not sure if she ever got it fixed or not I used the shoo maybe 12 times haha.
Nice i want Todo this to my truck now
AWWW-I love the way you got serious and emotional when talking about getting Panda. My doggo is part of my soul too!
I saw a fireman review on these heaters and he said if you use the bigger propane tank you need a filter.
I need more nature too I feel the exact same way
Still have the Rv? I own a 1990 toyota dolphin V6...you have some good prints about the engine but I take more power and space over a struggling 4 cylinder...I owned a 4 cylinder new horizon it struggled....
Sold it in 2020 to get my bus. Reliability is not worth sacrificing for that small hp gain in my opinion and you’re still going 60 if you want good mpg.
The link is empty
You have a great house on wheels !
I think that’s why the newer ones don’t have the front windows. Ours is inset from the wall. Just basically a leak magnet. I was considering buying some fiberglass and patching it up with insulation. It’s too hot up there with the window and in the winter it’s too cold plus it’s a privacy nightmare. Our cab over area is just storage anyway.
You did an awesome job even with the awful place that drain plug was at. Love that cool pup too!
Outstanding job on the updates ! The inside is sharp . Looks really cozy
I know this is a bit of an older video but what is it that your pointing at at 2:16ish the thing you said is for air for the oil etc? Trying to squeeze anything I can out of my 3vze currently and looking for anything that helps lol
Purple over priced like everything that comes out of Utah ! I ordered the same one you bought just now. So thank you. Mines the short queen 8”. I’m 210 lbs hope it’s thick enough. I live in a 2020 NoBo 168 camper trailer. I’m 61. Stock mattress a year now and freaking sucked from day one !
That was a yucca not a Joshua tree. 😊
What size your marine Hatchet, also the escape hatch you remember the sizes
Hey, I am looking at one of these for our trailer, how have you found it has held up over the years? Do you full time in your trailer ? How firm do you find it?? I like a firm bed.
They really hold up I still have it and use it! Definitely firm which I also enjoy. Yes I was full time for 5 years. Taking a break while converting a school bus 🤙
Whatcha doing for work and are you living in the bus?
Sorry fell way behind, need to do an update soon! Got a job as a powersport equipment mechanic. Not living in the bus yet but still working on it!
@@MrJpat88 Nice! I'm in Quartzsite in my cargo trailer/camper for maybe another month then back home to NH. Remember, everyone, I mean everyone loves a build video!!! Glad you're working.
Awesome looking Toyota motorhome! :)
Update there is no camping at coyote pass these videos should be taken down 💯
Dude awesome! Seems pretty simple it’s all about making it water tight and better insulated. I wish guys like you and me could design these RV’s I’d put 3-4 smaller windows max, and I’d make them double pane as well, less condensation! Anyway thanks for the help and ideas.
did you like the toyota dolphin? i’m lookin at a 91 right now for 10k but idk if it’s worth it. i’m fairly new to the toyota rn scene so i need a second opinion
Great truck, terrible coach. 10k is steep but I believe it if in good condition. Check the over cab for leaks especially under the mattress/ corners. The back like to leak too. If it’s the 22re 4 cylinder they’re probably the best engine Toyota made but obviously have a mechanic look it over. RVs age in dog years especially these which are usually overloaded their whole life. My first dolphin had some transmission issues because of this. Good luck.
@@MrJpat88 i think its the toyota 3vze or something like that supposedly the worser of the 2 engines, he basically said it idles rough but with a little "lucas oil" or something in it it runs great.czcams.com/video/ZQ4WEYfqQgI/video.html <----- theres the youtube video on it can you look at it and tell me what you think? i was gonna offer him 6k lol cause it needs motor work.
@@viralvideos4695 run from the 3vze. Not a fan.
@@MrJpat88 noted
This looks awesome man! I have an 89 toyota dolphin that I am remodeling, I want to delete a couple windows and was wondering what you used to cover up the fiberglass hole on the exterior? It looks pretty seemless
Hey thanks! It’s aluminum RV siding. Got it from a Rv salvage place. If you go further back in my videos I made one on the window delete. Thanks for watching!
I’ll check that vid out for sure thanks man!
What oil filter are using? This is the second video that doesn’t change the oil filter 🤦🏻♀️ or even say what the oil filter number is
Read the description. No oil filter 🤙
Yea. I figured it out. Thanks for responding. It’s just foreign to me for there not to be an oil filter 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks so much for the 30 day review!! Looking for 8 inch mattresses for the Skoolie.

I just subbed.Do you mind if I ask what you sold the toyota for?I plan on buying one of those to live in.since I can't find one I bought a toyota sienna 2004 minivan to live in for now.im parking it in front of the house I'm being evicted from.
Hey thanks for subscribing and sorry to hear about your troubles. Sold it for 11k. You’re going to pay more for a Toyota motorhome vs a comparable class C. They’re a niche market sort of like a VW van. I got a 2004 Sienna recently, love it! Good luck!!
Man my father passed away I'm disabled and am being forced outta my hom..I want one of these So bad.Wayyy cool rv
Update? Would you recommend?
You can put the specifications of the heater water and where I buy it?
does the harbor freight mat really work as good as the hyper vent
