Just some thoughts: You can't properly scrub brick walls in a shower, even if it is just facade brick. You can't use wood to hold things under a bus. It will rot out quickly, getting wet if you drive in the rain or snow, and nails will jar loose as you drive. You can't put the air conditioner under the bus because it will not get enough ventilation, and it will be filthy with road dirt and fumes, and then blow that into the bus. You need another seat with a seat belt for a passenger. It's not safe to be walking around in the bus making food while the bus is moving. Blue is hot too, especially a deep blue. Light colours keep the bus cool. Your generator box isn't ventilated.

As a cabinet installer, I think the vibration from driving over potholes will f*ck up your wood frame and sheetrock

Absolutely great familyproject. Allthou, Im a bit conserned about the electrics and plumming. - First of all, the water tanks are definetly not supposed to mixed with wood. They are way too heavy for that loose of bracketing. The absolute same thing, for any type waterheating elements + -pumps. They need to welded in. - Secondly, that rearbox for the generator its an absolute no go without a proper ventilation, electric insulation, fireproofing and safety circuit breakers. - Third, the original hydraulic opening for the doors and the buss doors, as combo, are actually surprisingly quite sturdy and burglar resistant. - Four: YOU NEVER EVER INSTALL AN AC ANYWHERE NEAR THE MOTORS EXHAUST SYSTEM, DUER TO CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING!!!

Just a recommendation, as a Master HVAC Owner, I would reconsider where you put that condenser. Under the bus will not allow it to pass the air through the coil thus causing a problem with your airflow through the evaporator. Meaning, the temp will not keep up in the heat. It will freeze over etc.. plus being in the dirt, salt, dust it’s just going to wreck havoc on that system. Put it on the back of the bus.

just a heads up. the AC needs not to be full of mud, dust, salt, sand, etc. even on the back most people cover them when not in use to protect the fins. it can not work effectively and depending on how dirty it gets, it will eventually just stop working. you might want to put it on the back like the generator

This book is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to create various types of garden buildings. The book provides clear and detailed instructions with numerous photos. ukposts.infoUgkxBE-xSmFU7PIaMFUmmhnFxE035s5svtxeAs a novice, I appreciated the book's step-by-step approach to the basics of building. The book also appeals to the more advanced DIY enthusiast with projects ranging from simple to complex. The book is up to date with the latest trends, such as solar panels, green roofs, and sweet chestnut shakes. The book has inspired me to pursue more projects in the future.

Awesome build!! The only thing that's definitely going to be a huge issue in the not too distant future is the wood brackets used under the bus for the water tanks and the AC compressor. Those definitely need to be made out of galvanized steel or even better aluminum. I'd be interested to see how they held up over the last 8 months since this video premiered.

Awesome build ! I'm no expert, but I do have some recommendations : 1 - a roof rack 2 - a solar panel 3 - roof fan for proper ventilation and keeping the bus cool.

It's a good build, you guys transformed that old bus into somethingt nice. But my only concern is that framing under for the tanks, should have opted for aluminum or steal, cause the vibration and humps can easily lossen up that wood specially when carrying heavy load. And it will have lesser blueprint giving you more space for other things

Definitely would have used metal brackets or some type of metal bracing along the bottom for the tanks and everything I can't imagine that wood is going to hold up in bad weather over time but all in all it's still a very awesome looking project and you guys did a great job.

Great job! Amazing the co-ordination between you guys, how you think thru stuff and solve problems, work hard and work fast. It is a shame that somebody else got this bus.

I loved watching you guys build this out! Wow! So so creative and not too pricey. You guys have a great attention to detail and work hard. Very well done!!!

Part of the reason why your AC wasn't able to keep up was because of where you installed the outdoor unit. It needs to have enough room to remove heat from the system. Because it is under the bus while it is running all of the heat is trapped under the bus, and recirculating back through the condenser coil. The head pressures are probably pretty high and it would explain why it wasn't doing a good job of cooling the bus. I do AC for a living.

Cool idea. Definitely a few things I would be concerned about though. First, that was a lot of added weight with all the wood, stone, drywall. Ect. You really should try to keep it light. The wood supports beneath the bus that will most likely rot from exposure. The AC unit beneath the bus being exposed to splashing, mud, dust off of the road. I probably would not have put carpet beneath the water pump and HWT and the pex piping... carpet and humidity from dripping or sweating pipes don't mix well. The generator on the back in the enclosed box, it should have room to breath so it doesn't over heat and a safe way to exhaust the fumes away from the bus. There's a reason they say to keep generators 20 feet away from where you are staying in.

The bus looks really great now. I'm just wondering how much weight you added to the bus (the bricks, holding tanks, generator, plus all the stuff you need daily). The flooring looks really well done, but won't the tiles come loose or crack as the bus goes down the road?

Incredible work 👏 congratulations!

The exposed wood below and drywall is an interesting choice. I wonder how well it will hold up.

"You're going to want security which is why we installed a real door" A FULL GLASS DOOR, FULL OF BREAKABLE GLASS

i enjoy watching really beautiful camping bus good work

All I can say is, WOW 🤩!! The inside of the bus 🚌 is nothing short of awesome 👏! Good job, Guys.

Looks good, although I'd be worried that the wood underneath will rot very quickly, even if it was PT lumber, road wear would break it down.

as a physics teacher, watching you paint the bus fully black made me shake my head

Incredible! A labor of love. Feels good when it all comes together~

Bro got the battle bus

I definitely would have welded up frames for the tanks that had a roller tray for easy maintenance & repairs down the line

"If you're sleeping in an RV, you're going to want security" Proceeds to install a glass door.

Amazing what you guys did to the bus 🚃 I love the decoration.so amazing. You guys are very creative.❤❤👏👍😘

dude props to you guys for the hard work you put in. this was amazing. i was on the edge of my seat anticipating what was going to happen next. this gives me inspiration because i want to experience living the van n bus life. id like to travel and get out. see things and do things.

I think using metal brackets for the tanks would be a better option.

I bet everyone wishes they had a brother like Colby...

Incredible tenacity!!! Well done!

Wonderful job Ya'll did. Congratulations you have a nice rec vehicle to travel with, since you did it yourselves, it makes you appreciate everything more❣️

Nice work! Two objections: a)this blue is also a bit dark. Ιf blue is your thing, baby blue would be better...or you can always paint just the top silver for maximum reflection. b) the brick layer in the shower is a VERY BAD IDEA. Being dark and not able to clean properly (as it is porous and has deep grout lines) will soon become a health hazard due to mold. There is a reason why we chose light colors and smooth surfaces for bathrooms and kitchens : they should clean easily and thoroughly. You might also do a check-up in the rear suspension of the bus. Looks a bit low and bouncy. Like it needs a set of stiffer springs and new dampers.

First off: very hard work! Cool that you found a "residence" type door at Goodwill. But it's still just wood and a LOT of glass. I'd feel more secure with a steel door that has a security glass window. What does the manufacturer of the A/C unit say about mounting the condenser unit under the bus where the air exchange is limited? Usually condenser units need to "breathe" and putting it under the bus limits that. Wouldn't it have been better to mount it at the back of the bus? You've got the generator back their anyway.

Very very beautiful job. I like the blue and the artwork on the roof! One thing I do not care for at all is the brick and especially in the shower you gotta question the functionality as it has so many crevasses that can hold moisture and potentially promote mold. I think you could have really chosen a beautiful and classy tile for the kitchen instead of the brick, but hey it’s not the worst. Overall a super beautiful job. I liked the loft rail too and the stove hood.

Magnificent work! It's beautiful ❤️

Respect for doing this video for 6 months 🫡🫡

Hey yall! Bus looks great, just wanted to give some critique on some possible areas where issues may arise. For the storage tanks and HVAC condenser mounted underneath, you might need to mount shielding to prevent road debris from getting in. Another area you guys might want to look at is your mounting for this area as well. With ride vibration and etc, lumber might not be the best material to use for mounting these critical pieces of hardware. If possible, i would try and find a fabrication shop and get some steel racks fab'd and welded in. Great job overall!

Awesome build. Looks fantastic!!! The only think I would have done different would be, I would have added a skylight that opens.

wow, what great work! we appreciate 1. sharing each step of the way 2. *no foul language, 3. your fantastic attitudes, energy, smiles, and finally 4. the fun you all seemed to have and sharing even your mistakes and fixes. great work, guys!

Great effort I enjoy watching Good things you do: 1- high efforts and hard work 2- good isolation for sound, water and heat. 3- very high effort for two persons only 4- adding all the requirements for traveling and be like at home 5- good colors and interior design Here are some advices 1- Do not use wood to carry things under the bus. Unsafe 2- You should calculate the bus vibration and torsion 3- Better to plan everything and use any 3D software to design with dimensions 4- Better to plan for safety mechanism for passengers 5- plan to mix between generator and solar power 6- add more window because it looks like - sorry - a closed grave 7- AC location not good for distributing the air 8- doors must be not from wood 9- generator should have air cooling or at least open and better to put it down the vehicle or on the up the ceiling

Without a doubt the absolute best part of this is a family coming together, working as a team to achieve a really cool goal. I absolutely love this! Please continue to do things like this and spend time together as a family. You are very, very, very lucky to have what you have (I don't mean the material things, those are cool and all, but not even close to the relationship you're building and nurturing as a family.) Nothing can compare to that!!!

You guys did a fantastic job. Love the color

Wow!! That is just amazing looking 😍 . You guys did an amazing job. Congrats

Beautiful build! Only thing I would've done differently is replacing the internal doors with pocket sliding doors. It creates more space when the doors are open.

Nice job, but I think the generator is going to overheat in that metal box. Paint the roof white and you can paint the rest of it the color you want and it will stay much cooler.

That was awesome. I love it blue way more than black. Great home, and wicked job!

This is my second time watching y’all and I am so …impressed y’all know what you’re doing and the budget under $1000 or right on $1000 amazing y’all keep doing what y’all do‼️🙌🏻👏🏻💯

Very nice build. Like others have said though using wood framing for your tanks and condenser is not the best choice. The condenser and tanks are very susceptible to damage from road debris which isnt good. At the very least I would completely enclose the tanks and move the condenser to the back of the bus for better protection and air exhange.

The bus turned out so great! It's incredible you managed to also fit a full bathroom in a short bus!

BEAUTIFUL WORK DONE

awesome awesome jobs guys! I literally applaud after watching this video.!

Great job. A few concerns/comments though. The door looks very unsafe. I’d probably try to get a metal door. The AC under the bus seems to be sitting extremely low. I hope it survives the potential hits. I’d definitely use sliding doors inside the bus. And finally, the seat seems to be still tight. I hope you enjoy your trip and everything goes well.

You're brother is badass, man! It's obvious he's done all this stuff before, groutpack, framing, cabinetry, paint. Good stuff.

Absolutely amazing!!!

You guys are miracle workers, 🙏💪, making your video look easy . Thanks for sharing 👍👏👏🥰😄

I do overall like this but there are several things I would change. 1. Wall material. The only reason wood, metal, plastic, fiberglass, etc. is used is due to its flexibility compared to regular drywall that cracks. 2. Layout of parts. I would move the A/C to the back so that way it isn’t taking heat from underneath the bus (part of the reason the bus interior gets hot 3. Overall layout changes. I would want to utilize that one door that was used as a window as the main door. You can make it at least somewhat secure while looking unmodified instead of taking the old front door and using something besides the original door (I’m not saying I wouldn’t modify the front door, I would just make it bolted shut or a different door style). Also just adding in a foldable twin size bed and making the bathroom a wet bath to save tons of space. 4. Some aspects about the master bedroom area. The fact that there are panels drilled into place would be inconvenient if something got stuck, lost, unreachable, etc. Also, I would not use the loft for sleeping, but for storage. Hopefully this comment gets seen, and this bus is really impressive needless. These are just my thoughts on the project that could be improved.

This was a great family project, loved your enthusiasm and bonding. You all worked so hard on this, appreciate people who do projects like this. Some quick thoughts, I would have kept the original doors. Concerned about the generator and AC under the bus, I would ask for advice from some professionals for your safety. But great job for a first try, they will make improvements as time goes by. Safe trip.

Wise to re roof. Looks amazing 👏 excellent finish 😊

@11:58 😂😂😂 LOVE the Blue and Black ...The black itself was dope but you should've had a garage to dry it in lol... Lesson learned my boy 😎 and AWESOME JOB btw 👏👏🚌🔥

Respect for cutting 6 months of work down to 20 minutes. Very well edited!

Just can't believe you mounted an AC under a bus with wood. Just wow

ive watched just a few of your vids (ran onto you recently). the first one was where you had made a trailer/camper to pull behind bike....it went down a ditch into stream. That caught my interest, as you (most ppl) would have edited it out, or covered up their mistakes. Kind of like on social media ppl only post their successes. Now watching this im so incredibly impressed how "real" you are, owning mistakes and sharing honest responses. Your outlook is also stellar.....and with that attitude youre def someone id be drawn to to be freinds with but most importantly if society had more ppl with your positivity this would be a much better place to be! As well, I think it's fantastic how your family chips in, or works in harmony. Im sure you do the same for them and your friends. Wishing you the absolute best in all of yoru endeavors. btw, with your attitude/discipline/drive you will be a major success in life...whatever you choose to do.

Wow your hard work paid off, beautiful!!!!!

Your videos are crazy I use to watch you in 2020 and forgot about your channel, until one of your videos popped up in my recommended and I binge watched all of your videos. I don't know how you're not at least at a million subscribers, but keep up the good work 👍👍

This is what i imagined an American family would be like, building awesome stuffs together and having fun.!!!

The color looks amazing 🎉🎉

The interior design is Fing amazing

My only serious complaint is the upper sleeping area, there's only about a foot of space between the floor and the ceiling, and once you put a mattress up there it will have almost zero headroom to even try to sit up. I personally would have just sacrificed the little bit of storage space underneath the bottom bed, carpeted the floor and put a mattress down, that way the top bed could have been lowered down a foot or so.

You 2 are great, when it rained and it came through, that is the point I would have given up on it! Well done to you both! Perseverance that I haven't got.

Y’all did an awesome job! Wow what a transformation!

Guys! I’ve never watched your channel before, but I love this!!! What a different looking bus build. I love that you did it more like a house on the inside! Really nice. Kudos to all of you for a stellar job. Enjoy!

Nice build but That AC underneath may get destroyed by rocks when driving 😢

These kind of videos are so fun. I love to see bus and van transformations

Bro that master bedroom 😳 🙌🔥

I know how it feels when so many things go wrong and you have to back track to make it work. Great job guys! That bus looks awesome!

This was actually crazy. The best video yet by far! Keep up the amazing work on the videos & the amazing effort you put into engaging your community! Much Love!

WOW! Amazing job guys!

Great work buddy 👍

There is a reason drywall is not used in campers, think about the vibrations of driving down the road and then think about what happens to your drywall when you leave it in an unheated camper over the winter....

Y'all guys have an awesome build. If I may give y'all a suggestion. The suggestion would be to find a steering wheel column that y'all can adjust when driving,or just parking. Again it's just a suggestion to help y'all be comfortable behind the steering wheel. I enjoy y'all's vlog on the bus.😁🙏

Amazing project guy's

Smart, talented good looking boys did an amazing job!

I have to watch your content in parts now because I don’t know when the next time I’ll get a new video!! I hope you come back to being consistent it will help your channel in the whole my guy. - Much love, ya pal Phoenix

Thank you for showing both the INS and the OUTS during this process. This was very informative.

Great job. Enjoy your hard work.

I love every minute of this video ❤

Me and my family have rented many RVs in the past and its been a pain because something always breaks. Building your own really seems like a great alternative (if you have the time). Great job, it looks fantastic.

The bus is looking good. You should think about taking a couple of the extra blinkers out back. You know the ones above by the loft and turning them into porthole covers

Wowzers! Way to go guys! That was so fun to see!

WOW BEAUTIFUL!!

I’m proud of you for fighting through that that rough mental state. I can tell you first hand that it is a very difficult fight but once you get through it you feel great. Keep fighting man.

Yes nothing screams 'security' like a glass door with its hinges on the outside lmao

Awesome Job Guys! It Looks Marvelous..!!💪💯💯💯💯

Beautiful. Perfection❤

This is so cool! There's just one thing... It looks like a battle bus

Isn't outside unit of AC need to be ventilated 12:14 . Keeping it under the bus might effect working of AC in long run.

I appreciate your willingness to rework something that just didn’t seem right. That exhibits great patience, and wisdom. WELL DONE!

First time here and I loved what you guys did. Great job guys and a great time at the beach.

That was beautiful how you brought the life back into the bus. You guys worked really hard 🚌
