I grew up in a musical family. My dad, mom and myself bought a 4104 bus many years ago and tried to convert it. Unfortunately, the bus had too many mechanical issues and we ended up selling it off and never finished it. Since then, I've always wished for my own bus. I just LOVE these videos!!! Shuttle busses are a perfect size too. I sooo enjoy how the two of you work together as a team in every way!!! Couples usually argue a lot, but you two don't. Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You could tell he really adores you Savannah
The roof rack is definitely challenging, live the fixes and approach. Rock on!
Those spacers are just next level
I highly recommend if you want advice on any stage of your build that you do a consult with Savannah and Drew. We are lucky enough to live near them and were able to do an in person one as well as a bus tour that helped a ton in our decision making process. They are both genuine and positive energy exuding individuals and the world needs more people like them. It was a pleasure to meet you. Text if you ever need anything. Looking forward to the rest of the build videos. 👍
Thank you so much Troy! It was great to meet you and Aimee. We are happy to be able to help!
I think you guys found your true alternative calling to music! Yes, it feels good to wrap your hand around the neck of a guitar and pick a few strings again but now I forsee.

I can't wait to see Drew's new electrical system design.
Thank you for this series!!!
Oh my gosh I love you guys! My father is a carpenter who's name is Kevin and I can attest that everybody needs a Kevin 😂 I would totally rock a shirt like that.
Love your appreciation for Your Kevin... I'm very very fortunate to have a Charlie. He is an amazing welder. He's my brother and jumped at the chance to help me with my Shuttle Bus. Mine is a similar size to yours but a few years older.
I love this! Everyone needs a little help here and there. We are both lucky to have Kevins and Charlies in our lives 🥰 haha
I was thinking I need a Kevin to teach me or do welding for me! That would be a perfect t-shirt!
Everyone needs a Kevin 😂
You guys tire me out just watching what you need to do. We had a shuttle bus we were going to make into a home but ended up selling it when we realized not only the time but cost to make it into the home we wanted. We admire your dedication.
It would of been great Drew & Savannah, if Max Fan made one that would fit the Tent your working in :-) that would take a lot of air out & through the region of experience to have better venting to work in. As much time has passed since this aired you have come a long way in discovery & invention of get'n through. I agree with the a/c unit taking it out. Those hoses could leak at anytime & cause grave damage to the interrior & the motor strain. The new a/c units made to run from the Solar Panels through Lithium Batteries are amazing today. The networking in idea's & past experiences shared are what we are all here to gift forward. always, Tommy :-)
A Kevin is a wonderful thing to have. The cool thing is, you're slowly becoming the Kevin with each of these accomplishments.
This is true! I admire my dad very much and it’s an honor to learn so much from him through his help with this bus!
That sounds like a cute shirt!
Love your opening music.
This is awesome!
This was fantastic and I’m SO impressed. I know nothing about fabricating and...whatever else you’d call the problem solving wizardry of the roof rack. But y’all made it so clear and easy to understand!
Thank you so much! This was a beast of a project but it's done now and we're happy with how it turned out! :)
Chi wawa in toolbelt hilarious 😀 By far that was a difficult process! Next week Peace Out!
Thanks guys. You’re very helpfulll.
Great video!! Shout out to whomever has that thumbs down trigger finger. Very fast. Much respect 🙏
You can’t count anything in this world more than that thumbs down 😂😂 makes me giggle every time
I absolutely love your intro! And both of you are explaining the step-by-step process so clearly. I truly appreciate that. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much ☺️
Cherry, raspberry or apple jolly rancher? 😁. So much prep to work on the bus. I can't wait to see the end product. If it looks even close to your other one, it will be beautiful! "Chiwenee" is hilarious. Gonna have to get one. Omg! I need one of those monkey mugs.
You guys are brilliant. Thank you for sharing this info on the roof rack. I have been debating the merits of flat roof vs. rounded roof, and you have helped me decide. And the info on the u channel fix is awesome.
Thank you! Having done both a flat roofed bus and a curved roof bus, we highly recommend flat 😂
awesome video guys. I am also building a shuttle bus.
Amazing work. After watching this I know my decision to not install solar panels and use portable ones was a good one. I have a similar bus and don't have a Kevin to help lol.
btw... I love your song... intro music... original i presume
Nice work guys and great problem solving the rack looks great I'm going through the same thing in my coach we always called it hat channel but your right its a pain in the #**! Sometimes anyway looking good.
Thank you!! Hat channel makes sense! That’s probably more of what it is. Whatever it is, I don’t know why they used it and I don’t like it 😂 what a headache!
What if you put unistrut along the length of the roof and then put your cross braces from side to side? You'd have less fabrication and more support. You could put spacers and drill out the channels.
You talking Unistrut on the top outside from front to back? I just bought a shuttle with the u joists and that's what I plan to do.
@@prepparig144 Ya. It would create less weight per square inch on the roof. Like laying your body across the roof versus standing on it, so all the weight isn't on that one rib. Then you can adjust the cross bars or add more later when the panelling is up inside.
I am waiting for a solar a/c demo on your last bus!- Edit- Oh I see your answer on that below.
Do you guys have a list of materials you used for the roof rack somewhere? I have the exact same type of shuttle bus framing, and love your ideas. Would love to use your ideas as a starting point.
Wow, I am in total awe with your build and how you solved the roof rack puzzle. I am converting a shuttle bus that is really similar to yours after losing my home to a wildfire, and I was considering flat panels to get around installing a roof rack. Any thoughts about this or pros and cons you considered? Many thanks for the inspiration, it's been a real help for me to keep going. Thanks!
Loving watching your series. Question on SOLAR A/C. You're now in June - presumably still in the dessert. How is the A/C working out? I'm in FLA and had just about given up on the idea of solar for A/C. Admittedly your cooling at night is prolly going to be much less than here, but still quite curious. Again - thanks for making and sharing these stories.
We are planning a full video about our AC coming up hopefully next week. It’s a bit complicated, so we wanted to make a full video about it! Thanks for watching!
Thanks - looking forward to seeing your A/C vid.
@@ChrisandNancyTravel Me too!
While it's true that everyone needs a Kevin, I also required a Craig in high school to keep me sane.
The king bros are silent heros 😂
Did you use Henry's on the air dam on front? Have shuttle bus rv myself. Need to redo roof also. Air dam is chalking and dripping in windshield. Thinking of using Henry's and eterina bond tape on seams.
We have not tackled those front seams by the windshield yet. That area tends to get so much wear that the chalking is pretty common. Henry’s might work well. I’d scrape off whatever is there, use some caulk and then Henry’s!
I just bought a shuttle and just checked.... u joists. Ugghhh!!! Do you feel you needed the "C" washer on inside of roof after you put the pieces of curved metal on top?
Why do you have to have a roof rack for the solar panels instead of installing them directly onto the roof?
We have just purchased a 2014 Ford E450 (Eldorado built body) very similar to yours. In ours, the seller said she had had someone remove the rear AC unit for her but after they did, the front AC no longer worked either. I've done some crawling around underneath and found a few cut hoses. The condensers are still present behind that grill on the side.
I'm curious as to whether your front AC worked after you removed the rear unit.
What did you use to plug the ac hose? Only finding copper caps?
Greetings from Australia, I am wondering about the strength of the internal rib that you have used to bolt your rack down, my concern is that this rib is fairly thin and may be prone to slightly crushing when the bolt is tightened which would result in the rack becoming loose over time, perhaps consult with your ‘Kevin’ on this. The reason for my comment is that I’ve come across this crushing/loosening happening in similar situations.
How many hours a day did you guys put in
I wouldn't beat yourself up so much about your "mistakes" or more correctly miscalculations. It wouldn't be a true build without bumps and these rigs surprising us a bit. And you rushed to seal the roof because you felt like the leak you found at that time was a high priority problem. Then you had to double back to a step you would have done earlier and you figured it out and it was all good in the end. ☺️
Exactly! Sealing the roof was rushed because of the rain so we didn't think it through. All is well now and a lesson was learned!
Does it make sense to use something like tropicool when most of the roof is going to be covered with solar panels or deckboards? Seems like ordinary white paint would be good enough.

I've heard good feedback about the Stodoys plans.
