  • In this video we install our slide outs, show how we insulated our bus, and painting our bus. This video takes you from where pt 1. finished to for the most part our bus completed

    This build is the first school bus, repurpose I've seen and liked. They usually get cut up and put in produce fields! Great job Young Sir. I hope this brings you more enthusiasts needing help with their similar builds. Best wishes.

    By the way, I was rolling over the idea in my mind about doing a slide out on a larger shuttle bus, not even knowing how you'd even make one. Aha, gutting an existing one, of course! Another video a guy welded steel beams and boy it all looked heavy. Yours looks properly fitted. But still too much work for my abilities and lack of facilities. But that looks really beautifully done.

    I love how you thoroughly insulated the entire bus and sealed it well. Very thorough work! I didn't do research prior to building and insulating my bus. But the entire build has been a learning experience for me, as I did it on my own............as I was rushing to get part of the business open and running, so that I could make the money that I spent back.........as well as pay my bills! I sure do miss all the men I once knew that I could run to when concerning my vision and the direction I wanted to go with things. Although I did meet a few men with various crafts that were essential to me learning and knowing all that I need to know about my bus, I still wish I had those ole skool minds and the energy that came with our relationships. Love the way you insulted your bus, as well as the extended piece that you added! You made everything look so easy! I am so glad that I watched this!

    I love it!!! I've done a lot of construction in my day. Started as a framer. Did almost everything myself on my first personal home. GC'd over 1,000 homes from 98 to 08. Then went into architectural design. With retirement on the horizon, I really want to design/build my own off grid, tiny house/RV, sell the house and hit the road full time. A search for DIY slide outs brought up your vids, and I've been watching your stuff for the last several hours through a night of insomnia. Now I'm more stoked than ever to start working on my own totally unique design build. Thank you for the inspiration!

    Man I have to say this is by far the best one of these skoolie conversion buses that I have ever seen and IMO the best on YT. I am still blown away at the prices you paid for the bus and toy hauler. You built yourself $200,000 to $400,000 RV for less then you could of got a 1989 vw van with 2 flat tires and a blow up mattress with a hole in it and a weed Wacker for an engine here in California.
    An RV like that in California would seriously be closer to half million dollars if it's from the factory not so sure about custom built but this one should be worth that in my mind. You did and outstanding job on This RV it is gorgeous 1 of a kind and wow I just can't stop saying wow I'm at a loss for words and for a guy like me that literally never stops talking that says alot. No for real I talk ALOT! Alot alot but this thing is so cool I could talk about it all day long, I wish I seen it IRL. Nice man very nice!

    You say you are no engineer but I say you are an excellent example of a mechatronics engineer and your credentials are not in some institutional diploma but in your real world creation. I never finished high school but I've published two books and recieved praised from people more highly educated than I could achieve. And by my example, my three children all became highly successful in their fields.
    I tell you that because you and your wife are instilling into your son's an appreciation and knowledge of work skills, work ethic and genuine character building.
    Congratulations on being excellent parents.
