I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again Doug you are AWESOME, a natural born problem solver, very creative. Love you guys.
Every time you cut a hole on the outside of the bus, I have to hold my breath! You are so very brave. But also, No Guts, No Glory! You.ve created the perfect exhaust fan!
Duplication is the highest form of flattery. I expect you to be flattered by many van lifers. I will giggle when I recognize your efforts !!
The mad scientist of innovation strikes again. You never cease to amaze me.
agreed!
It may have seemed like a small thing, but moisture control in a vehicle that you are all sleeping in is going to pay off big!
Congratulations on another great video!🌺
Doug, You are the quintessential "think out of the box" kind of guy. You've got a brilliant mind. Glad you were not messed up by an engineering degree. Ashley is very lucky and you are too. The two of you are a good match!! Love, love, love your channel.
haha. Thank you so much
I agree. He's brilliant.
I am glad that it went well and met your needs. If you want to ventilate over long, idle periods, a small solar panel should provide enough energy to run the fan and protect the battery. If ventilation proves to fall short, a push fresh air fan could be considered along with your present pull-the-exhaust fan. Your choice of parts is ideally suited to the vehicle, defining their role in a smart, well finished package.
and THIS is why i love your channel...your ingenuity, creativity, the pure problem solving! thank you
Seeing Ashley’s smile is nice. She’s dreaming of adventures.
She's proud of her man and of herself for chosing him!
You should put an retractable awning on the side of the bus
The Pc fan was a great idea 💡, you need to start a modern day Mcgyver channel! Call it "Destination DIY !" 😊👍💕💕💕
using the computer fan was pure genius! love the idea and adjusting the speed levels.
When you faded out in the end of the video, I hope you didn't go thru the intake fan! Again amazed at how you customize a project with nontraditional parts and it comes out perfect. Getting close to an adventure video! Can't wait!
That fan is nice and the noise should help you sleep! Ashley looks gorgeous in that gold shirt!
Thank you
I could just write "ingenious" and copy and paste to always remark on your videos. 😊❤.Iowa greatGrammie
Ashley would look so good in a pink lip tint. She’s so pretty. Your daughter takes after you 🥰
Really nice solution. Those stainless intake/exaust shrouds look great!
Thanks
Looking forward to seeing the curtains!!
The disappearing act at the end, what can I say but that was the best ending yet. Your ventilation system is just more creative genius and I hope it does just what you want it to do.
Doug your a like a genius. I’m not kidding, once it’s in your head, it’s own.You will build, design or whatever, you have a God given gift that people go to school for years to learn and you just figure it out and design on your own. You blow my mine,you really do. Seriously you just have the mindset of finding ways and most of the time, better ways of doing things and it seems to just come natural for you. I’m amazed at the things you have done on this channel from the beginning. When all else fails, you want. Thank you both for starting this channel and bringing us along with you on this journey. You both are such an inspiration and I have loved watching your channel grow and will continue watch it for as long as you let us. Another great video guys. God Bless you all. 🤗
Thanks so much.
Doug good work man. You should be proud of yourself for solving these multitude of things.
Superb! You think of everything. Now lets get those curtains done and the beds made so WE can see you on the road! This is SO exciting! LOL
The bus is coming along nicely! Nice... clean air...so important! 👍
Ashley has such a sweet demeanor !
Doug you two are such a smart team
That's because she's a Fairy Princess. She has magical powers. Ooops! I think I just gave Doug's secret away. His projects look like magic because they ARE magic!
Doug, you should be working for NASA.
Doug I think you are a genius. Is there anything you can't do?
you guys need a tv you have a gift the bus build is perfect i love you guys big hugs have a blessed day
I love that you guy’s do things Diyfferent, other than the norm or just what’s available,
You do better! ❤️
Y’all are naturals, a Handymen/engineer/multi-technician/designer/plumber/electrician/carpenter/roofers/painters/artists/videographers/editors/and even handle the complaint department very well 😉 …I’m sure I’m missing some.
Love the vents & the fan idea.
This turned out awesome. You could also pop your top vent to help pull in outside air as well. Can't wait for you to try a get-a-way🚌⛺
Good job! Using a computer fan is genius! Hope to see the bus on the road sometime!!
I am just amazed at the things you create and pull off! Brilliant!
You're so smart Doug, to figure all this stuff out. You never cease to amaze me. Kudo's to you.
Love seeing Ashli smile, you certainly have a beautiful smile.. love ❤️ you guys..
if you add rubber Vibration spaces between the panel and the fan it will reduce the noise even more.
What a great plan to keep fresh air moving through the bus while the family is inside. I almost suffocated in a tent that our family was sleeping in once. It was tightly zipped up and we were at a high altitude. That was scary. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.
That would be scarey.
Doug your mind is your gift for God. Your own designs are wonderful !! Love what you and Ashley are doing in the bus.
Thank you, I always hope to glorify God by all I do.
@@diyfferent im sure you do Doug....I pray you and Ashley and the kids...hugs
I'm really looking forward to your first adventure. We full timed in our little 17' travel trailer for 3 yrs. Loved it. My only fear is that you will have exhaust from other vehicles coming through the back vent.
We have an arctic fan on the roof of the trailer. 16 years never a leak yet. It switches directions to blow air out or in. You will know what works for you after you have been on the road. Just keep exhaust in mind please. ❤️ WELL DONE TEAM 💕
Prepare to snorkel! Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing. Carry on!
When you pushed the fan button my AC turned on. Now that's a powerful switch, turned on my AC in Missouri 😄
haha!
Y’all are really thinking of everything for your safety and comfort.
Your knowledge never ceases to amaze me. You are an inspiration to us all.
You two are amazing. Your mind has to be working 24/7.
Nice self vaporizing at the end----goes right along with the air exchanger that you installed.
Genius! Except the part where you forgot about safety glasses. Please stay safe. 😎
I think you're a genius. I love that if it doesn't exist, you create it. This is why I love your show so very much. It's fascinating how creative you all are in your unique ways. I really appreciate all that you do. Thank you.
DOUG AND ASHLEY, you all are amazing. Where will the first adventure be? I'm excited for you guys. I hope that you all do some major filming of the scenery and all. This bus will be great for the family, and the memories the kids will have a blast
Our first adventure will be a surprise and we're excited :)
@@diyfferent anticipation🙂
Problem solver solves yet another problem. Well done.
Hopefully a helpful suggestion you may want to put a hepa type replaceable filter material on where the fan sucks in fresh air because the screen will still let in like the noseeums bugs and other small ones that can and will come right through the screen on the steel vent! Just a thought! I love your work though! ♥️💕🙏✝️🤗🦌🪴 the bugs will get sucked into your ac or whatever the air goes into!
Clever solution for venting the bus.
Honestly, Doug, you are so clever! You should be designing mobile units! 😁 You have a wonderful vacation-mobile!
Yankee ingenuity at its best! 🙌😀
Doug you're head must be so full of ideas , you're amazing...😁😂
There are screens with magnets you could put up only at night, might be an idea.
If it gets too hot - just put up a tarp to keep the sun off it. Good job!!
I love this little bus absolutely beautiful with all those colors you guys are going to have so much fun can't wait to watch the next adventure well done you guys
Well done about the thinking outside the box! Who would have thought computer fan? 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Nice job
Aw absolutely love your bus it’s gorgeous, bet you can’t wait for your first family trip, you have built it your way and people are always going to have opinions but at the end of the day you did it your way and so you should the whole journey has been fantastic watching it all come together love everything about it beautiful colours too xx
Doug you are a wiz at all that stuff. And I hope all your adventures in your Bus rewards you and Ashley well. You two are free spirits for sure.
Good Morning Doug & Ashley,this new project (improvement) is awesome!The air flow was much better than I expected.👏👍YEAH
WOW! So Professional! Well, well done and congratulations!
You never cease to amaze with your creativity and skills. Lookin' really good!
How awesome! It’s coming right along, I love how you both put so much thought in to not only the technical side of projects. 👍
You are sooooo smart Doug! And Ashley looks like she can’t wait for the bus to get on the road! The children will enjoy it I know! Great job!💕
You continue to amaze me...the creativity, attention to detail, and aesthetics.
Loved the fade out at the end. Great video of yet another creative and effective idea. You guys rock!!
Love this. Makes me wonder about one of these for our small bathroom that doesnt have a fan. Hmmmmm
Good Stainless steel is not magnetic and I believe that applies to aluminum as well. So all you need is a good magnet to test these various metals. Love those round vents you used. Class installation in my opinion. Later
You are so good at figuring out what you do.
Boy Doug you sure come up with great ideas for doing anything. That’s great! You sure are smart in what you do and also have a great brain for coming up with ideas. I would have never thought of this.
Bus is looking good. Love the bus.
Thank you so much.
I wholeheartedly agree. The guy knows how to use his brains and hands. A rarity it seems now days
What a good idea to use the fan for air flow. This will be great! Can’t wait for the family to go out and use it! You are so clever Doug.
Am amazed how you think of ways around things. 👍🐺
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you continue to amaze us! Great explanation and execution! Those chrome parts on the outside look very stylish 🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧💕
That was def a great idea. I love how you invent your own things according to your needs.
I had been thinking you could put a screen on that roof opening so you could have that open without being eaten alive by mosquitoes. FYI putting lavender oil on your neck and wrists is supposed to keep mosquitoes away from you. I do know that the lavender oil on your neck will help you sleep.
You both keep coming up with neat and creative ways to really turn this bus into your own personal oasis. ❤️❤️
Love the videos 🤩💓🤩 Doug and Ashley love your personalities what a great couple family entertainment.
Think it's a cover plate for the fan 😊 it's better that you have your own planner with ventilation and like normal you are a genius 😊 I always enjoy your vids
Safety glasses and a mask would be an excellent idea when drilling fiberglass and/or metal
Great idea! Im excited to hear about the first trip.
Doug, I really think you & Ashley have genius qualities mechanically. You amaze me at the way you can figure out anything & make it even more efficient than any of these companies that make this stuff..wow.
Success on one of the final projects of your Oasis get-away bus. I'm sure it's music to your ears, Doug. Even though you are a rather quiet person Ashley, I can see the excitement in your ears, thinking about going on some fun, relaxing and inspiring excursions with your family. Bless your Hearts!
Very clever, and a good use of materials to complete the project. The finished project looks professional.
Dude we think to much alike I was thinking the same design with the fans lol keep up the good 👍 work
You guys are so great a doing things for yourself and your family 👍😀
I'm going to say it...your line of work should be converting buses to mobile homes....damn your good
You should watch some more videos around CZcams. While this is done well there’s some crazy creativity and skill out there
Oh my word you are such a genius everything you do is so precise and always comes out looking excellent I get so excited when you have a new video you’re amazing Doug
To tell if something is stainless steel just use a magnet, you probably already know that.
I almost suggested you get one of those fans a while ago for an air exchange, good job. We used them in electrical enclosures to keep the computers cool.
I like the intake and outlet covers, nice clean look and goes with all the other metal trim.
Fantastic!! Love when you think outside the box!!!
The "Coolest" DIY Family Bus on the Road this summer or whenever. Oasis here you go!
Great idea Mr Doug!! Almost ready for a road trip!
Good idea to be able to change the air that you breathe. You are a definitely a problem solver. Read some comments first. I think my opinion only that a lot of people don't get what your doing. You tested it and didn't use much voltage, off the battery. I hope I got it right. Cya next time. Have a great weekend.
You can also use removable screens that you only use when you want, and take them down and store them easily in the many place you have for storage. You can use them on the windows and emergency exit on the roof. The fans are a way better option if you're worried about leaving an easy opening for intruders while you're asleep or something.
I can't imagine a ceiling fan in a camper. Good job coming up with that cool system. (Get it? "Cool"? 😁)
Great engineering ! 👏🚌
Something you can add is one or two Soler panels not the house ones but the paper thin ones glue to the roof no (holes) but wiring ??? You can add a 2x battery keeping the system 12v just making it bigger win you set for days . You can add a norther fan for the read pulling more air in to the bush putting it on this same switch . Doing all of this you can add a flip down (TV) ???? (O YES) now your GLAMPING !!!!!! :) Have a good day .
You are so creative/inventive!! Amazing.
The fan/ventilation system should keep you safe and comfortable.
You just put in a whole house fan in your van. Brilliant.
The ventilation will add to your comfort! Nice!
So clean looking. Glad you thought of the air exchange. My greatest concern in my van. You will really appreciate it. Ashley...your smile made my day!! 😊😊 love your family and journey!!!!
