Skoolie Webasto heater install for cold weather camping PT 1

- We start the bus at 0F for a test we are doing to see if our factory installed bus heaters will keep the bus warm at 0F. If they do we will be installing a 45k btu Webasto heater to heat the bus
I'm suffering from depression and anxiety and watching such beautiful car camping videos help me to feel calm and relax from unwanted fearful thoughts due to my OCD issue
Same
I hope you’re doing better
Must be the same for me minus the ocd

I think you should get a good back-up propane heating system with its own thermostat. With those cold temperatures heat is a must have. Propane heat will run even if the bus won’t start. BEAUTIFUL JOB GUYS, GOOD LUCK ‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸
I have a propane furnace I could mount if needed, but the webasto is what would be heating the bus when camping I don’t plan on heating with the engine except for when I’m driving down the road. Thanks for watching
I am under 30k loan but when i watch your videos i just forgot everything and enjoy your videos every day ❤love you bro❤
Wow, that thing is a beast!!!
Nice looking Rig. I'm so spoiled from mine I would just as soon live in it.

I just love what u turned the skoolie bus into omg awesome job i could live on bus

Beautiful Rig.
Good thing your dad's garage is close by.. You don't have to drive far for all that great service and repair work!
I’ve already Subscribed and watching this bus build and it is so awesome God blessed you with a talent for building stuff that is amazing I wish I had that talent! I truly believe that is a God given gift!!! Really glad I found your channel! May God bless you and all your loved ones and keep all you guys safe through these bad times we’ve been living in!!! Now back to watching your videos!
Thank you
@@diyalaskanlifestyle Very Good video🎥
DIY is the best thing ! oooh yeah for sure !
This is not a camping car ( camping bus ) but a house with wheels !
That's absolutely enough for my cat and me for live comfortably !
Fantastic ! really amasing , congractulations !
Hello from Belgium ^^
PS : You can use a simple bicycle to run a dynamo or a DC motor for recharging some batteries , on cold time that's good first for the body and after for batteries !
Sport and current ^^
That's just a little tip from an electrician DIY lover ;)
PPS : Absolutely very good job ! when we make something self made and know all work properly that a total happiness ^^
Love the inset screen of the exhaust pipe during the winter start-up (after sitting idle for weeks) -- proving it really DID start! Next step would've been to have time & date stamps on both videos to silence any lingering nay-sayers! Excellent stuff, DIY Alaska.
Great job, super video.
Very nice rig... I have had the slide out idea floating in my head for so long I forgot about it, until I watched your videos. Nice to see how it can be done... hopefully I'll get a chance to get a bus in my near future. I'm kinda picky as I want a pusher and they just don't use them locally or anywhere within 500km from me.

Looks awesome, I imagine some nice thick window curtains would help big time for trapping the heat in for the night
Yes we have curtains, but we also use the reflective foam insulation in the winter months
Same same. I've been living in my "mobile condo" for almost 4 years. Here in the state of Maine.. I've learned many tricks to keep warm and maintain thawed water lines
@@psychopitt1982 all my water lines and tank are under the back bedroom which is above the wheel wells and that is where one of the heaters is my water is a little on the warm side but at least in won’t freeze
They come with window coverings large rvs.
What year is the bus
Very nice..I m from India. I watched your videos regularly
amazing experience great job
Thank you
Very Impressive Bus Home.
Respect.
Thank you

I wish you put a combi hot water heater and domestic water
Run flexible the line and do radiant flooring
Run glycol to prevent freezing
Awesome build

You're really like the heater I have one in my truck and I have 1 in my RV and it's cold as it gets in Alaska it's still kept me warm also they don't use a whole lot of fuel. Your RV friend😎👍🇺🇲🇺🇲
Where you guys from that looks like a project I would like to do for myself later how much did it cost you

Woow if i had luxury house bus like this, i would have considered myself a lucky man and would have spend rest of my life in this very beautiful luxury house bus
Cool. I would mount wood stove in center of the bus. It could hear the whole bus evenly of it's centered. These buses are cold. From windshield area up front has to be insulated some how cover those windowss and windshield so much work. I'm plan out schoolie and it's endless possibilities. Thanks for sharing. You have a great and unique rig.
Harika video olmuş emeğinize sağlık ⭐
Great job with the mobile home build , man you make a man want to sell the house and hit the road . Hope to see some trips soon.

Thank you
This is so cool!
As a Swede, I'd be happy to live in Alaska. It's like home, with the exception from the language and that we don't have racoons and the currency. Everything else is more or less the same
hiya. We have an International Humpback too. Love learning about more of her siblings!

PS, burning a lot of diesel. Not to mention the wear and tear on the engine. Propane is the way to go. There are so many cheap and quality models available, give it a look. AGAIN GUYS BEAUTIFUL JOB‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸
No Propane.
Diesel + Webasto is the Best.
Propane use, over time, will
Rot the interior....
You're doing an awesome job
Thank you
@@diyalaskanlifestyle Your Welcome
Hello Dinas, hope you don't mind us being friends okay 🌹
Alaska?? Instant Subscriber!!
Beautiful job man... Wondered if you figured out the webasto yet? If not I have a couple suggestions.. where the heater line comes out of the engine there should be a valve on both lines, the in and out, then go into a manifold with seperate valves for each output. Put a new line from the manifold to the rear heater, and take the original return from the front heater back to the engine.. if you have a fuel tank heater that should be out of the manifold as well.. probably need to of the same manifolds so you can do the returns the same. When you get the manifolds get them with an extra spot or two for future expansion.. like a water heater line or another auxiliary heater for your bathroom or whatever...
I haven’t pulled it in the shop yet but will soon, I I was thinking something similar I’ll also add calving so I can bypass the engine if I need to, also this bus had a small webasto on it which if I can get it working it’ll be part of the system also.
@@diyalaskanlifestyle ya I had several semis and they always made it so you could shut off everything at once or any accessories individually... It's often how we got home to fix stuff...
really nice . Keep it up
Awesome rig
I congratulate you for this beautiful and wonderful work in the best development of this very beautiful bus.👍👍👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪
Thanks for watching
Great video
Wow awesome
Boy, i hope you make it. Seeing those snow flakes blowing around you while in the bus makes me a bit skeptical, however. Keep on truckin!
Bus is superb sir this is yours so nice life enjoy sir...
Nice job so far
Thank you
An exterior specially designed wood stove would take place of wabasko and also block heater.

living completely in a bus.......is amazing and best thing...........it should have bathroom and solar system too
Está. Hermosa. Increíble👍👍👍👍👍👍😷😷😷😷😷♥️🇦🇷
❤❤❤wao sir God bless you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Small fans move air well
Every motorhomes or RV should have power diesel generator set for emergency backup like other power unit, solar or even bus batteries out of power.
Great video. RS
Most boats in Bristol bay are set up with a Webasto wired they way you described.
Ok cool I’ll look into that

Just install solar panels on top and you are all set!
Nice. God bless.
Very nice work bro
Thank you
You say you bought a bus - you bought a lot of parts, devices, equipment and everything you need + your work and your time. Have you counted all the costs?
Wouldn't it be better to buy a nice finished RV for the same budget???
Will there be any surprises regarding your modifications?
I know that such constructions are a bad idea!
You have plenty of RV campers at good and beautiful prices up to USD 20-30 thousand! 👍

Hello great video. I'm a new subscriber. Bus looks good can't wait to see it finished. where did you get the metal from for the outside and the height of it.
I raised the roof 24” I bought the sheetmetal from a local shop the total height of the bus is 13’7”
@@diyalaskanlifestyle what about the 24" studs
@@johnniebunton4978 I used 1” square tube it fit perfect inside the hat channel then I weld angle iron to that so my rivet lines stayed in line. I made a video that goes over the roof raise if you’d like to watch it
@@diyalaskanlifestyle cool thanks
Hola buenos días .me suscribí por qué me gusta sus videos

Que lindos videos
I sold school bus parts for the better part of 15 years. Webasto is the best way better than Espar, with Webasto you can get different fuel nozzles that will burn multiple different fuels from gasoline to kero to old oil.
Bb bbbb
I'm sure glad you changed your mind about the roof transition, that would have had the aerodynamics of a brick wall otherwise. Then dropping it down from your initial 30" raise was another good move. Not sure what you were thinking of at first. lol
Why not swap your heater hoses so that the hot water from the engine circulates through the rear (bedroom) heater first then up to the front heater?
You are losing that heat by the water travelling up and back which make it twice as cold then it would if it were only travelling one way.
Simply swap them from the engine itself so you can still use the same hoses.
Yeah 30” was way to tall the only reason I considered that was so I wouldn’t have to modify the slide outs. I put a second video out of the webasto install and first use in the winter it worked good, I’ll make some minor changes down the road I’m sure. Thanks for watching
Skoolie Webasto heater install for cold weather camping PT 2
멋지네요
hook up an inline small hot water heater for the heating system bypass the water from the bus to the front.

Wow... !!! My best friend, Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks Have a happy day! Keep it up! +thumb up3!
Did you say you ran the heater lines outside the bus to the rear heater of the bus? If so you'll probably have to insulate those hoses. Nice bus conversion
They are ran in the floor of the bus.

Ini impian saya punya bis seperti ini
Nice video
Nice
That upper looking space looks like sleeping space for kids lol
I thought about it but one thing I learned yrs ago is that if you plan for what you have now when the project is done life changes and you need to readjust so I figured my kids could use a blow up mattress and sleep on the pull up couch
nice
Don't wanna freeze those water pipes !! Might want to keep the tanks and pipes empty when not using the bus !
Yes we have to winterize our motor homes after every trip in the winter, I blow out with air and used hose for this reason also I made sure my brass fittings were higher then the hos if possible so that way if some H2O was not fully blown out my fittings wouldn’t freeze and break
why do u have so big space reserved for kitchen ?
No big deal not many of us have 3 ways!

Don't the Webasto heaters run off diesel fuel? my bus heaters used the antifreeze side to heat the bus.. maybe I am wrong
Yes it burns diesel, my bus has a small heater in it already I’ll be removing it and installing this bigger heater
Very nice and elegant bus! Have you checked on the engine since it is a bit old?
Yes I’m somewhat of a mechanic myself and have been around these motors my whole life
@@diyalaskanlifestyle Thanks for answering! You have the best looking converted bus I ever seen in all the youtube videos. The shape, color schemes, functional sideouts, interior decorations and mindful planning of the heating systems are stunning. Of course, you also did a very job mechanically in order to have an old bus started in such weather conditions. Congratulations!
@@chiuchan4432 thank you

dont use a lot of fuel
but
use a lot of elevtric energy 12 Volt
Yeah I can see that I almost have it completely installed, it was constantly in the pre/post purge because the pump on the unit wasn’t moving the antifreeze fast enough so I installed a 12 volt circ pump to move it faster. I plan on running my little Honda 2000 generator all night while winter camping
Nice bus
Thank you
Super bus

Yo que ustedes la tradusiria es un lindo video....traduzcan
Wow
get a longer and heavier cord. It will reduce the load on your charging system.
I only used the cord to plug in the block heater on the engine so that it would start it was getting well below zero near -20 at night when I took this video
Aahh makes sense.. I will DM you abput some heavy duty cords soon.I have a few.and they will be free.
Hope you make it .. LOL!!!
n addition,Australia,New zealand,the Middle East,Europe are also our major markets,we need parrners with strength and dreams.
Any thoughts on woodstoves? Cheap, lightweight, free fuel, etc.
Edit: typed to soon
Be careful with the Webasto, it draws a lot of power. We had them in out Highway Coaches and if they ran for more than 30 minutes at minus 20c it became questionable as to whether you still had enough power to start the bus. Our units were only used to warm the engines, just like a block heater, but in places where there were no plug ins. For the most part they were great,, but after 30 minutes you usually had to look for a boost, not the easiest when you needed 24 Volts
I’ll look into this I have 4 pretty big batteries on this bus I can’t remember how many amp hrs but for the most part when we are camping in the winter we run a Honda 2000 all night to keep everything charged
@@diyalaskanlifestyle Our buses had 2 12 volt, 1150 cold crank amps batteries hooked up for 24 volts. Unlike an RV with House and starting batteries, If you hook into the house batteries, you ought to be ok. I would put a bypass in that you could warm the engine to, if boondocking.
