Really well done 👍
My like is 85,go on💪
Good to see everyone getting involved. Great memories in the making 👍
Your Dad is a handy bloke to know. 🍻
Can’t wait for the next ep. Very impressed with the effort and hope you keep us up to date once you are on the road. Most important question is what is the skiff you had in the first intro and are you going to tow it with you?… ‘cos that would be awesome to watch. Anyhoo, get out there, pick your path carefully (like the trip north of Cairns to the top of the Cape is ugly at the wrong time of year, the trip across the Savannah Way is ugly from Hellsgate, likewise for the Gibb River Road, huge fun but go after the wet and after they’ve been graded)… but it’s a BIG country and lots of memories to create… look forward to vids!
This is my dream, Keep going Emma
You're awesome Emma. Good job.
Why are you people so crazy? Some say watch CZcams for Recipe you did reverse. Was it too much to post here? Why did you have to beg for views on profile like thay??
So true I've just dislike the video 😂
Because CZcams shorts only allows for a title, not a caption, so I physically can’t add the recipe, but on instagram I can. 😊
Good work Emma. I am quite concerned about the long term strength of the way you mounted your water tanks. If you are to support the tanks underneath, you should use metal straps from side to side (aluminium is best), rather than a timber shelf. I can see the shelf flexing under the load of tightening. I also have concerns that the paint is not good enough to keep moisture out in the long run (even if the paint is thorough - 7:26 in your video shows some exposed timber on the edge of the board, unpainted). These tanks are designed to be mounted using the top mounting holes only. They are not designed - and do not require - to be mounted using under support. Given that your floor is in and therefore you probably don't have viable access to the top thread nuts, you could simply empty your tanks, and replace the timber shelf with two aluminium bars per tank.
Sound like this project has already rewarded you with a lifetime of memories 👍👍
I’ve lived in my van for 3 years and first build I had a white stone sink and it was the worst for marks so I ripped it out to change to a black metal one. I also started with those rv lab latches and found overtime driving bumpy roads and the drawers shaking the screws came loose and broke, I’ve since changed to a more robust drawer lock. I’ve been told by the owner they’ve changed to design so can’t comment on the recent version. Vans are built to be enjoyed … and renovated :)!
Thanks for your advice! These latches are the new ones so hopefully they work out :) I guess I’ll see how I go with the sink as only time will tell.
I love the whole bus and especially that kitchen, how long is the bench and what is the name of the kitchen drawers you got from ikea and also your sink it’s just beautiful 😍
Thank you so much! The benchtop is 220cm and the kitchen cabinets are METOD cabinets with drawers and the drawer fronts are VEDDINGE.
@@emmamaertens thanks for your quick response, I’m in the middle of a 1991 coaster bus renovation and looking into kitchens atm where did you get that beautiful sink?
It’s from Renolink Australia!
@@emmamaertens Love it, can you remember what size the sink is, I'm in love with your whole kitchen!!
It’s 45cmx45cm 😊
Looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing!
You're so right, it's worth it to keep going as the rewards are great once it's done! Well done & thanks for sharing! see you on the road somewhere in Aus ;) ... all the best. Renee
Really amazing
I really enjoy the diy bus idea. But whenever i see this type of videos, i always wonder the amount of wood used in the bus is a little bit dangerous. I mean you have stove on the bus and it might be a potential fire hazard
How does it feel to be so cool
Wowwww
Great content there, Emma. Thank you very much for creating and sharing with us. From William.
Smokin' is this chick single?
So amazing at your age to be doing this. As someone who's almost 40 and picking up a powertool for the first time and learning a lot you'll noe have these skills for life. Well done
Thank you so much! I am very lucky to have my dad helping me with the big jobs but yes I have learned to drive a massive vehicle and do woodwork on a whole new level! You can do it too!
Good work, this model is a mini bus from where I live, always wanted to do the same
Looks great! I have been living in vehicles for many years. I have lived in Coaster buses and they are great! Currently I am living in a Ford Transit, but we just bought a Coaster for our friends. We are in the process of decking out their bus, but first we need to get passed for the road worthy test. The floating bed is a great idea. We might use it. Well done again!
I love the bed setup. Great choice.
That was a quick video Emma but very well done. A big thanks to your Dad. Are the two tanks fresh water?
Yes they are!
Great job Emma. I look forward to watching the next episode. That glue was some of the worst I've seem on a build. ❤
Have you come up with a name yet for the bus? It's really starting to look great
Yep her name is Bliss the Bus!
@@emmamaertens I bet some days it's a different b word 😂
Loving this build. Gunna be one sweet rig. We know how dedicated you have to be. We have done three buses. Keep up the great work. Glen and Di, Qld
Thanks for your kind words!
So goood man 🤩
Looks great! What sort of timber is that? Where did you get it from?
I’ve update the caption with the wood details!
@@emmamaertens Brilliant! Thank you I am in the process of building a Coaster and we're also up to the ceiling stage
How big is the inside living space?
What kind of wood are those lining boards? Looks great 👍
It’s Paulownia wood! The company I got this from is Australian Timber Ceilings
@@emmamaertens great work! they also use that wood to make surfboards.
Hi, how much did this all cost you as my budget is very big good job
Haha , fark😂, gold
Hi , could you share the company details with us in the comments? Thanks
Love your videos. You have a real talent for making interesting videos, some of the BEST van/bus build videos I've watched.
This is brilliant, thank you! I really want to upgrade to a coaster and planning on no electrics (using a powerbank, bit more basic) so the maxx airfan is out of the question. I really want to put 2 skylights in instead and this helps massively.
Yes the skylight honestly brings more airflow than the max air fan!
@@emmamaertens really?! Thats great news and not what I was expecting. First thing on my shopping list! Loving your vids, keep up the amazing work!
sweet! i just got a coaster too. hello from adelaide
What downlights are they?\
Hi Emma, We are at the point of replacing the floor. Are you happy with the 12mm thickness? I think it would be fine but some people say use 17-19mm. Do you have flex in your hallway bit?
Oh how exciting! Yes I am happy with the 12mm floor. It’s a bit flexy in some areas but barely noticeable and I am planning on putting in laminate floorboards which will make it more sturdy. If in doubt just make it the same thickness as you originally had 👍🏽
Amazing filming job!!
Thanks to you xxx
Hey Emma, how did you and your sister get the roof so clean and free of the left behind insulation fluff? I’ve been going for days on mine tried everything you guys did and I still feel I’m not getting far. Is it just a matter of continued effort or am I doing something not quite right - ie not using enough of the glue rid - it seemed to do very little? 🤷♂️ Thanks - keep up the good work looking forward to your next video.
Use lots of glue rid and soak the areas in it. We went through so many cans. Time and effort will get you there!
Where do you get one of these in The USA
You are very lucky to have you sister, brother & father's help.
Keep up the good work! It will be worth it in the end
Good on you! & good luck with your journey
Hey Emma, doing a great job. Well done. Did RV Superstore run any of the gas lines when they did the gas box and water heater? Or is that all happening later?
Yep they ran the gas lines!
Beautiful bus~~
