FRIDGE
We went with the NX841 Norcold 2-way fridge. It is a fair amount of work getting it installed, so hopefully it will work good.
COUNTER TOPS
We got these off Amazon since we have prime and shipping was free. It was cheeper than anything I found locally. They are John Boos Blended Walnut Counter Tops.
BATHROOM
Most of the materials came from Home Depot. The diverter bowl is from a company in the UK: www.littlehouse.co/shop/kildwi...
DASH
Once again this was only possible because of the very talented Tim Monnnot!!! / @thecalypso5877

I Honestly applaud you this is a Big Project to Take on for anyone alone or with little help while maintaining a family life and or working as well! After watching so many conversation videos my favorites are the diy. Yeah you can be rich or well off and have one build from scratch but the ones who diy them theirselves seem more proud of the finished product. I know it must be a Bog Sense of accomplishment for anyone who builds one out! Great job!
Thanks!
You're an inspiration. Great work on the instrument control panel. It's stunning.
It's great to see you and Tim working together....Keep up the good work!
Really good job on the dash guys. Super impressed
Love the cockpit, turned out beautiful

Looking good so far...can't wait to see more!
Nice job on the console! Gave me some ideas for when I tackle mine. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video
Thank you it inspire me a lot. You explain pretty well :D!
Amazing guys wow 🤩
Oooooh very lucky to have the Calypso man onboard! :O
Wouter d.B. Very lucky!
Alert!!!!! I don't you knew (too late now), but your son grabbed one of your power tools and proceeded, to turn it on, and use against the bus window. I love kids and want them to be safe, that is why I don't think children should be allowed to play around buses being under conversion. I love what you have done thus far on the bus.
Thanks. We kept a close eye on them while they helped with the bus.
Great Video..
Is it just me or do you love how creative people are that own a skoolie bus
Good fit on the fridge. Hope that you never need to pull it out.
me too!!!!!
dash is dope!
So DOPE!!!
what kind of wood is that in the bathroom really nice stuff
Do you have a shot of the back of the dash? Thinking about doing mine but can't see how the plastic piece facing the windshield is done. What State is Tim located in?
Could you opt out of the black water tank entirely, and have urine divert to grey water tank?
Alhen Drillich you could. There is a fair amount of debate about doing that. I picked up a black water tank for cheap and have space for it so I opted to go that route
i love the cinematic feel of these videos... the bus is really coming along, is your plan to sell your house and live full time in the bus when it is done?
Life of Bjorn thank you very much! Yes we are out of our house on July 15. So I still have lots of work ahead of me before we move in.
Bus I'm looking at has all the wires labelled.big plus
where did you get the composting toilet fiberglass urine separator?
where did you get the counter tops
when doing wiring cutting wires with pulling wires you should use number tape especially if you have to cut a wire you put the number on each side then cut the wire electricians use these all the time
Did you make that fiberglass toilet mold?
Where did you find that urine diverter? I have been unable to find anything like that.
Looks like a Kildwick Klassic Urine Separator available online from the UK.
I was your 1,000th SUBSCRIBER!!! WOOOOHOOO!
Queer Kyra awesome!!!!!!!!! And thanks for subscribing!
Maybe someone has already asked but how has your fridge set up worked out?
Where did you get the apparatus with the rocker switches and usb port etc ? What would it be called ?
I got it off amazon. Just searched "rocker switches. "
Beautiful job on the dash. Have you found a heater that works with the system you explained in the video? I have the same situation and am trying to find something that works. Also, have you noticed your engine temps running hotter because of taking out your front heating system?
I plan on using an electric heater, but in order to do so I need to finish installing a second alternator to provide sufficient power to run it.
can i ask you, which programs you use for making the movie? thx and regards :)
GloADV I am using iMovie. It came with the computer.
GloADV So if u dont have a mac use movie maker, basically the same
where did you pick up your tire covers, have not been able to find some that fit a bus tire
I got them off of amazon.
Awesome job. Where did you get the fiberglass bowl for your compost toilet?
www.littlehouse.co/product-category/kildwick/kildwick-urine-separators/
how difficult was it to remove the front heater part and you also said somthing about a heater infront of that door and the just the fans will blowthe heat up? also are those the original fans?
I would also love to know this! Are those the original fans for the defroster? Did tou remove all of the coolant lines? So no inside heaters at all? How is your engine temperature running on hot days? I figured if I were to keep my heaters in my bus, they would help cool the engine on hot days. Is the scoop for your radiator working out okay? I love your bus and vids!
Looking good! how did you fabricate that airbrake handle?
duckblind1964 are used a small piece of black iron pipe that I had, and the handle was $1.50 at Home Depot. I then used a generous amount of JB Weld epoxy .
I think I would have flip the rockers over and put the usb on the bottom and the rockers on the top.. cords will hang over the rockers .. but thats just me..
Also on defrost A/C works best will warm air it drys the air faster and keeps fog off the glass... its the reason most new cars use A/C pump at the same time.
I have noticed that about the usb cord over the rockers!
Where did you get your diverter from for your Composting toilet?
www.littlehouse.co/product-category/kildwick/kildwick-urine-separators/
What is the "bzzzzzzzzzzz" when you turn the key .?
Low air alarm.
If you have gone through adding a black water tank then why not just use a traditional low flush toilet?
We can live off grid longer with a composting toilet
Where did you get the fan for the toilet vent setup?
I just used a 12V computer fan and built a wooden box around it.
Wow! How creative lol
subbed
Hey can you give me a link or the brand of that compost toilet so I can get one

Wilderness Wandering thanks man!
Not knocking your buddies carpenter skills but a bus will tend to twist and such so each joint should have carpenters clue or a good dose of liquid nails in each joint . Otherwise there's going to be a tremendous amount of squeaking and movement in your dash !!
in the final construction, glue was used and has held together well so far
