The building has begun! We insulated our #skoolie with an expanded foam board insulation. How did we do it? Were mistakes made? Watch to find out.

Welcome to our Big Family Expedition! We are a family of 8 that sold everything we owned in 2019 to travel full time with our kids. After being stationary for a while we have decided to live the RV lifestyle again. We are converting a skoolie for full time travel 2024. Be sure to subscribe to follow along on our upcoming travels.
Not I built a house, But a tiny home, But I am building a skoolie, But I am building a skoolie for full time travel, But I am building a skoolie for full time rv life, But I am converting a school bus into an RV, But I am building a tiny house, But I am building a DIY RV, But I am trying to insulate my skoolie, But I had to remove the old insulation first, But I am not a professional, But Not I Built MrBeast a Real Life Fortnite Battle Bus, But I don't know if this will work, or any other video like Chuck Cassidy, Isaac Turner, A Bus Life Story, Navigation Nowhere, Us Plus A Bus, Mobile Dwellings, or Jess & Jake would make. This is a real life journey of us building a custom rv to travel full time in 2024.

Notification squad! I think I've decided if I do a trailer it'll be as much spray foam as I can handle losing interior space. at least 3", maybe 4" if I can afford it and the trailer is big enough.
@bigfamilyexpedition
@bigfamilyexpedition 14 днів тому
Awesome, if we would have done a roof raise I would have went with spray foam. I didn't want to lose any more head room. If you do a trailer build hopefully you film it.

@@bigfamilyexpedition yeah school buses are already short enough so understandable. I'm a tall guy so don't think I could do a skoolie without a roof raise regardless of insulation.

You're not concerned about the thermal bridging? I mean, I don't know your intent for this project and of course it's your project, so no judgement here, just wondering if you're aware of techniques to break the thermal bridging and outside temp transfer to the interior.
@bigfamilyexpedition
@bigfamilyexpedition 8 днів тому
That's a good question. We are looking into what we can do to not lose any more room on the inside and at the same time prevent some of the thermal bridging.

@@bigfamilyexpedition Just about all bus builders are aware of Chuck Cassidy. He's the YT guru bus builder pretty much. This video should help you out with some good suggestions and explanations. I think I was crazy to want to frame with plywood until I seen his video. I hadn't intended on doubling it up, but he makes sense here so I will now be doubling it up. It does turn out to be a hair bit more expensive but there's really nothing but advantages by doing it this way, using " 3/4 plywood strapping". ukposts.info/have/v-deo/m5-Vl2lpfXqFu3U.html
