Fuel Fiasco & Engine Swap : The Bus Trailer Project
In this episode of our bus series, we hit the road to our friend’s house, but not without a few hiccups along the way-fuel issues almost derailed the trip! Thankfully, we made it, and with the help of our amazing friends and family, we tackled the huge task of removing the engine from our bus and swapping it with one from another bus. As usual, the day was filled with silly shenanigans, laughter, and hard work. We couldn’t have done it without the support of everyone who pitched in. Big thanks to all who helped out!

Glad I could be of help to you guys🤟😎
We can't even begin to thank you enough for all of your help. ❤
this brings back so many memories of my dad fixing up our old schoolbus so we could camp in it!!!! :D.
How wonderful. I will always cherish these silly and fun memories
Sale the seats to someone building a trike, i have one on my Trike.
That's a great idea.
Awesome, so glad for the video.
looking forward to see the transformation. good luck with your channel. peace
Thank you!
I would have been terrified of that gigantic metal yard claw!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was more scared of that big piece of metal falling on me or Curtis
Well this is exciting!!! A new bus! :D. Are you selling your old one, or do you have totally different plans for this one?
Definitely keeping our other bus, we have different plans for this one!
We never made it to this museum the 2 years we lived close by. Thank you for sharing your experience! I was always so curious about it. Can't miss it when you drive past!!
Our pleasure!
How did you insure your bus through insurance.
We created an LLC when we first started out and have the bus registered through our business. Because our business is travel related we are able to get commercial insurance on the bus. Curtis has had the same local insurance agent for a VERY long time.
I can't wait to go to Rock Springs!! I wanted to last summer but never made it. Hopefully soon!! You guys really make us miss living in Florida for sure. Soooooo much to see & do!!!!!!
It's a lot of fun. Best bet for anyone looking to go is to get a camping reservation in advance. Day trippers have to be in line SUPER early! But I feel like there's probably lots of cool stuff to do in Columbia too!
Thank you. It was an awesome tutorial.
You're welcome! I hope it helped you with your project!
Welcome back home!!!
great video
Thank you .
Congratulations, guys!! I'm so excited for you! You make great content & are both so talented. I hope the Patreon is a big success!
Thank you so much! We hope so too. There's a lot of stuff happening right now its just crazy!
@@ArtifulAdventures I'm so excited for you both!!
What a beautiful house & museum! Thank you so much for taking me on a tour, since I might not ever have known about it otherwise. Great music choice too, really set the tone!
Glad you enjoyed it. Gouvernuer is where I was born. And the town founder was quite the character.
Saw Mr EJ Noble’s picture, the man who headed the EJNoble Hospital where you were born during a blizzard.
There's a lot of history there, that's for sure!
sorry to spam you with so many comments! I am really enjoying watching your videos. I love the music you put in this video, it reminds me of Ireland, so pretty!
No worries! Glad you're enjoying them. :)
MOTLEY CRUUUUUEEE! Nice choice!!! One of my favorites haha
aw cool you guys have a bus!! My dad converted an old school bus into a camper when my brother & I were kids, and we traveled to bluegrass festivals in it. I didn't so much enjoy that bluegrass music back then as I do today, but I always thought we were as cool as it gets traveling in the big school bus. It was painted "olive drab green" which is my favorite color in the world. It had a full size bed in the back and even a porch! I love what you guys have done with yours and it's making me want to live on the road too!!!
That sounds like an awesome childhood! We are still only traveling part time but we do live in the bus full time. We love being able to take our house wherever we go.
@@ArtifulAdventures you are living the dream! I hope to become full time digital nomads but the time's just not quite right yet!
We're just out here trying to live a little before we get too old to do so. :)
well this is so relaxing wow.. I'm going to add this to my ASMR playlist!
I'm glad you like it
Hi there! Julie here! Michael & I live in Melbourne and have a tiny TH-cam channel also. We did a video on Lawndale House that came out about the same time as your video so wouldn't it be funny if we were there on the same day? I think we even have the same tour guide in our video (Mary), although she was in a different outfit. I just love those old dresses and hats. Your video is wonderful and I'm enjoying watching it. This was such a beautiful old house and I'm so happy to see it being taken so well care of. Myra sounds like such a lovely woman, and I couldn't help but wish I had known her in real life because we have a few things in common. The music you chose for this video is so lovely!!! Mary told me that they are hoping to start doing tea parties, I would love to go to one of those! New subscriber here, can't wait to see more of your adventures!
I would so love to go to a tea party there too! That seems like it would be fun.
And the 60’s & 70’s are back!!
With a modern twist. :) I love this skirt!
What a beautiful home. Thank you so much for recording this tour! Thanks, too, to the wonderful guide. Greetings from Gainesville, FL.
We're glad you liked it. Our tour guide was amazing and did a wonderful job. There was so much history in this wonderful home. We're grateful that they have taken the time and effort to preserve it as best that they can.
Really Historical
Looks neet there.
Its always a great time. Every year is like a whole new experience. We experience something new and wonderful every year we have attended. 10 / 10 will always recommend
Where is this at
This happens in February every year in Florida. More info can be found on the Skoolie Swarm website. skoolieswarm.com
It was such a pleasure meeting you two! Thanks for the tour of your awesome home! Y'all made my day! See ya down the road sometime hopefully!
I was lovely to meet you as well. And thanks for the heads up about the parking. :) Keep on truckin'
Have you heard from Wasteland weekennd in Cal.city oor Edwards air force base it close to it in Cal they do a fly by almost every day there
Yes. We plan on going this year actually. Just waiting for the volunteer application and / or tickets to go on sale.
Where is the 🏫🎒 Schoolie swarm at i mite go next yr.
Hi. Skoolie Swarm has 2 events each year. One in February is always in Florida. The Fall Swarm varies, but is usually east coast. This year it will be in NY. facebook.com/events/s/swarm-on-the-susquehanna/1182092552957788/
Where is this at
The Skoolie Swarm is held in Florida every February. There is also a fall Swarm that happens in a different spot every year. Usually somewhere on the East Coast.
Ha I made it to the big time
:) You're in there, just not sure about the big time.
That’s really cool. I’m looking around for some copper faucet ideas.
Thanks! We like to add copper to anything we can.
That's quite an array of skoolies! Where does this happen? I guess everybody's out there boondocking?
This one happens in Florida in February. And yes, everyone is out there boondocking. Some have solar, some have a generator and some have nothing. And lots of them share power with those who don't have it or need it ( rainy days can be hard on the solar crowd sometimes).
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
@@ArtifulAdventures you're welcome! I will be on the Allue of the Seas in a month!!
❤❤❤❤❤
Wow just amazing video content guys.I watched your youtube video regularly.❤️❤️❤️
Can you go back and login like after a year
Good question. You can! Monthly.com is now studio.com and I was able to log into my account with no problem. It's been nearly 3 years and my Ten Hundred class is still there. Hope that helps!
Looks like a fun concert put the concert part first think u might be more views how is the road treating yall
We just got back from visiting friends in Alabama and stopped at Bret & Reneee's on the way back. Had a really great time. You going to Swarm this year?
There’s a bright red boat car that’s lived at the skating rink I hung out at in Hermon since I was a teenager….comes out into the grass river every summer still!
Looks nice and relaxing to soak in.
It's been nice. We only use it when we are hooked up to water. Our fresh water tank would be empty in no time if we tried using it while boondocking. :)
We missed this year😢 So many faces we miss! Can’t wait to attend the next one & hang out with our favorite community.
It would be great when people shoe these. That they tell us the location and then month so more people can come the next year. I'm new in my build and almost ready to join the event. But dont know anything. Monkey broom, thanks
Congratulations on your build. The Skoolie Swarm welcomes all! Builds finished or unfinished, tents, campers, cars, you name it. You'll find the people are quite knowledgeable and helpful there. Many become part of your family. This particular event happens yearly in February in Florida. There is also a fall swarm but that location varies. We don't give out the exact location because this is a paid event. Michelle and Travis have had non registered groups show up and we are just trying to prevent that sort of thing. If you would like more info regarding the Skoolie Swarm, I would recommend looking up the official Skoolie Swarm Facebook group and or TH-cam channel.
@@ArtifulAdventures thanks
Interesting and creative approach, really cool 👍🖌⚒. Keep up the good artwork !!
Thank you so much. I love making creepy art.
So you must really have faith in the copper joints being used in bus that going to subject the plumbing to lots of vibrations, bumps and motion Not saying you did a bad job, in fact, did quite fantastic and it looks great too. JMO, I'd think PEX will stand up better and tolerate the abuse since it's much more flexible. Oh, and this plumbing is staying exposed right? It's not getting covered up so that if ever a leak does happen it'll be noticed fairly quickly.
Yes, we are leaving it exposed. Not really for checking for leaks, but because we think it looks cool. :) As far as the copper plumbing part, we have already used copper for the kitchen sink and haven't had any leaking issues so far.
@@ArtifulAdventures And it does look cool. Kinda gives a rustic antique vibe. So there is that advantage though. Hopefully no leaks, but they'll be seen quickly.
That was such a great event. I only stayed 3 days but had an absolutely amazing time. I came by myself and did not know anyone prior. Soon after arriving everyone was so welcoming and got to meet and hang out with some really wonderful new friends. Hoping to go this next year. Happy travels and keep enjoying the journey.
That is awesome! We love the Skoolie Swarm family!
Lord you better hope there’s no leaks that’s a lot of connections! I’m sure it will look steam punk when it’s finally done and all the shiney parts are shiney!
This bus appears to have gotten in a fight with Mike Tyson and had half it's nose bit off.
Hahaha. We love our stubby nosed Vista!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks. It's certainly a labor of love.
