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.
While I agree with you guys the ac shouldn't be under the bus, especially not held with wood, the outside unit is not pumping air into the bus, it's just the compressor and condenser, the air handling unit is the inside part.
I would have built a box opposite of the generator to the the AC unit in. Seeing that it is only the condenser, it will not be pumping air into the bus. It is just pushing the Freon to the inside unit (evaporator) to cool the air. All in all great job on this. The little things everyone has pointed out is easily fixed.
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
@@ironbear76 this type of unit is not like those typical ones and would not do well on the roof either. It needs to be on the back or covered and not on while driving. It can't handle the high speed air it will damage the coils etc. Needs to be behind protected from the wind etc
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.
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.
Wood here is a terrible, terrible choice. This bus ll be gone after about a year. Metal all the way - sturdier, flexible, lighter, no so much service-intensive as wood.
My brain: "After Little John ran away from his angry wife, he worked odd jobs and slept in the sewers until he has amassed $30,000, which he used to buy a small bus."
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
Beautiful job, great work! I have a couple questions. Why didn't you opt to put the ac on top? And with drywall and tile and bricks how will long term they keep not crack? Not being critical just wonder how well those parts hold up?
@@finaltouchautodetailingllc I hope the tile was composite/plastic. I lay tile and if it's ceramic, it will crack due to vibration and expansion/contraction from weather changes, especially if you didn't put in expansion joints and gaps where it meets walls/under cabinets.
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.
YES!! Thank you for commenting this, i was thinking all the same things you mentioned. Ive been researching builds like this for a long time, they made a lot of decisions they didnt research beforehand.
Recommendation: use Eco friendly wood veneers, galvanized square steal, expansions screws borrowed from your aunt, and finally an eco friendly mattress from your Colby's aunt
I don't think they plan on keeping too long. but maybe the next owner will re-frame it. it's a good idea nonetheless. I've seen other builds do it in metal 😉👍👌
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.
I spent my whole childhood working on RVs. My family had a Dealership and we rented. So we had a shop to repair everything. I’m just saying this so you understand I’m not a TH-cam troll. The tanks on the bottom of the bus will not last. Depending on where you live and drive. I would say 2years tops and it will start falling apart. The danger being you don’t know when the wood is going to give. My point is it’s a danger to others if your on the highway and a full black tank comes flying out. This is just what I saw in the first few minutes.
This is pretty much the thing that I would get completely redone... its wood its not supported that well and I'd also be worried about hitting things underneath with all those low add ons.
As i saw the floor i was thinking oh no, what if spill something? Then the water already was coming through the roof. You should be able to remove spilled milk for example. If not, you will get butyric acid, a reason to burn the vehicle. To remove the desaster you have to open the floor. For roaches and mice as well. Everything heavy could kill you in a car accident.
@@stefanmargraf7878 Yea they clearly built this for the looks. Not at all as actually useful mini home. This seems to be case with most youtube channels making these. Hasty job for the looks that would not last 1 month of active usage.
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!!!
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
As a mechanic, the wood underneath made me cringe. I give it about a year and everything under that bus is gonna end up on the highway. Wood vs moisture and vibration, wood looses every time.
@@jaylynbeck that’s not how an A/C works. It’s not going to filter out carbon monoxide. If that was the case no one would ever die silently in their homes from carbon monoxide poisoning.
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.
Great first job guys. As a Motorhome owner that have travelled pretty much the entire country, a couple of suggestions: 1 - Layout : For the next bus, try to have the living room upfront so the driver seat can also be used as a living room seat. 2 - Color: Whatever you do to the sides, roof needs to be white. Even that blue will be really hot in the desert. 3 - Space: Try to use the space under the floor on the lower sides for everything (propane, tanks, generator, etc) AND storage. Storage is premium space in an RV and there is plenty of empty space there. 4 - AC: I understand a split system is cheaper but a roof system is so much better and doesn't occupy space internally. 5 - Speed: You may consider changing differential gears to improve highway performance (and reduce fuel consumption)
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.
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!!!
Yeah, those tanks were not done well at all. Should have treated the wood too. But would be better framed in steel and painted. That exterior wood will rot in less than a year.
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.
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!
and I also wonder how bricks and floor tiles will react to vibrations and bumps. The overall result is beautiful, but I don't know how it will stand the test of the road.
@@cameliajordana1513Exactly! And the A/C mounted next to the unrestored 1991 exhaust system on a vehicle with no ventilation isn’t a biggie either! “Heh” carbon monoxide ain’t shit!
In a previous video, President Chay revealed that their family business is in construction. So it makes since that they are skilled in all the things you listed before.
Yep. Untreated wooden box to hold a black water tank on the undercarriage. A/C unit next to an unrestored 91 vintage exhaust system in a vehicle with no natural ventilation. Real pros!!
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.
Also seems like theres is way too little windows and or ventilation if theres 4 ppl in the back. The master bed room looks like a claustrophobic death trap. Cool project none the less.
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.
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.
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.
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. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxBE-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.
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.
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.
Having lived in an RV, windows aren't that great when its your house and you want privacy plus it's obviously harder to retain the inside temperature with a lot of windows.
The best part to me is that 2 sons and their father built this amazing camper bus and you guys will always have that connection. Very awesome enjoy. Great job.
This video was very fun to watch the guys turning a bus into a NICE home. This was a lot of work I simply couldn't imagine how expensive and time consuming this was
@SeanDoe86 If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it. Were you not taught correctly by your parents? Also, why rain on their parade? They are two amazing brothers that deserve positive feedback and kind advice. Why will it break? There isn’t anything I caught that was wrong with it other than the black walls, and even then, they could fix that. There is absolutely no reason for this type of behavior. If you’re jealous of their amazing build, just say so. Provide kind feedback and critical advice, not rude comments that you don’t even go into depth about. Think before you talk trash about someone on the internet.
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.
shouldnt install it under the bus..i think using the back where they hold their cycles would be a better solution..i would never hung anything under the bus
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 👍👍
Truly spectacular, bravo! I love the determination and grind, backs were against the wall, deadline, and y'all went all in. This was easily the best RV project I've seen because it not only encapsulated the creativity and the fun, but also the tenacity, effort, preservation, teamwork, and most importantly, the love of family
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!
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!
@beardsntools sure buddy. Apparently you've never heard of brown stones /row houses been standing since 1900s definitely not cardboard. Proove me wrong
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.
the points you brought up are exactly what I thought as well. I would have kept the original doors. Also if there is a flood that AC is not good under the bus. But great job for a first try, they will make improvements as time goes by.
Also, the bus has no ventilation, save for the driver's window, the door, and the fan in the bathroom. Even if the AC can keep up in its location (it won't), the air will still feel stuffy. Stale. Humid. Not to mention that roof is going to condensate like crazy. Also, since Alan mentioned welding: a lot of their mounting (personal) issues, could be solved with a roof rack - even if just a small one at the back of the bus. The AC and generator could share that space, easily.
@@cyberfloater9293 great point. I have never tried building a car to actually put on the road here myself but I know there are strict regulations in Europe
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.
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.
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.😁🙏
Very nice.... great job... love it!!! Looks like a pro job. Funny how you went from both sides, nothing but windows, to one tiny window over the sink. In my motorhome, I love all my windows and they all can be opened on nice days.... I agree that the wood is the wrong choice to hold the AC unit and the water tanks.
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.
You guys did an awesome job on this bus. Blue is my favorite color also and with that black door, it turned out great. The inside is so beautiful and clean looking and I love the modern look in it. ❤

Wood here is a terrible, terrible choice. This bus ll be gone after about an year. Metal all the way - sturdier, more flexible, lighter, not so much service-intensive as wood. And even if it get damaged, easier to repair. Still love your energy and dedication, Chay!
Wood also takes up precious space in such a small interior. I think they just winged it without thinking it all through or a detailed plan. Literally a bro production.
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.
Felicidades por el conjunto de tu trabajo; pero no tienes que olvidar que ante todo que es un Autobús a cuál se le integra un espacio habitable y no una casa. Yo le daría un ambiente más vehicular; ventanas y puertas de autobús. Encuentro que utilizas mucha madera, en algunos casos me pregunto si no podías utilizar aluminio, para aligerar de peso y aislamiento natural, lana y corcho. Colores claros en espacios pequeños; el azul refresca y elimina los mosquitos. 😉
Hey there President Chay, I liked your ambitions and video since you were able to save a bus and turned into a motor home. You also made some mistakes which I want to tell you about. These tips that I'm about to tell you can help you next time when you build a motor home. 1. First when you restore this type of vehicle, it's to restore the exterior then the interior. You had to repair the exterior damages so it would be easier. You could have fixed the dent first and then painted the bus 2. You had to focus more on the driver's position. The drivers comfort is really important, and I was able to notice that there is no much leg room and much space. You should have focused the drivers position for the interior innovation. 3. There was decorating which can make the bus heavier, the stone walls look great but they give a great disadvantage to the speed of the bus. You could have used maybe a lighter material similar to stones which would be great 4. It's the placement of the ventilation system which you could have put in the rear of the bus. Since it had loads of space I hope you learn from these minor mistakes so you could improve your next project
Sweet build - looks fab, especially the blue and the bricks inside give off a great vibe. Three things distinctly missing from the mix is more natural light, a view and ventilation. 4 people sleeping in the back of an enclosed space along with cooking and showering… its going to get damp and stuffy in there REAL quick. These three problems are easy solves with skylight hatches, because hot air rises, and the hatches can also let natural light in. Around the lounge and bed area, a few small windows, perhaps a few opening can also add a tone of atmosphere, light, ventilation and who doesnt like waking up and looking out at nature if you are parked in such a place… also i would LOVE to see miniaturized window blinds to finish off the home style vibe. Perhaps also a full size electric retractable awning on the side with a little bar fridge access from the outside. That would shout summer holiday like few other things would.

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
exept the fact that he did half the things wrong: he used wood to hold things under a bus and it will rot away very quickly, he put the air conditioner under the bus and it will not get enough ventilation, and it will be filthy with road dirt and fumes, and then blow that into the bus, also there's no passenger seat, deep blue will also be hot and his generator box isn't ventilated so it will overheat which is dangerous as hell
I thought black in the beginning was gonna attract heat and then you guys change the color like driving a car in the hot summer I think as long as the inside is not black the blue on the outside will do! This is an impressive makeover! You guys got talent! Love it! Hope it works out in the long run! ❤
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?
dude it's a youtuber making a youtube video for money it's his job now. 10M view is something like 30k to 50k minimum to around 80k to 100k. Of course his bus wont drive correctly on roads but that's not why he built it.
he built this bus for content not for actual use. the moment i saw how the driver seat and cockpit were set up i knew this thing wouldn't drive anymore than what they did for the video. he probably sold this for parts, sold as whole to some idiot, or just abandoned it somewhere
This whole project screams trial and error and I love it. U guys didn't give up yall kept trying different things finding a solution and I'm here for it 😂
11:40 I think it's not good idea to put the AC there as when driving it can cause it to break plus that space is not good because air conditioner should atleast have 200 centimetres from front for it to work normally. On hot days it can overheat and break and when it breaks it's very hard to take it out I would recommend if U put it on the roof tho

The loft is kinda silly because just makes the bed feel claustrophobic
I was thinking the same thing with the AC. All that dust, dirt, etc from under the bus is gonna be in your lungs.
Who tf asked you
While I agree with you guys the ac shouldn't be under the bus, especially not held with wood, the outside unit is not pumping air into the bus, it's just the compressor and condenser, the air handling unit is the inside part.

Look at ANY motorhome/RV/trailer on the road you will see that the AC unit is mounted on the roof. Much safer place for it to be.
@@ironbear76 this type of unit is not like those typical ones and would not do well on the roof either. It needs to be on the back or covered and not on while driving. It can't handle the high speed air it will damage the coils etc. Needs to be behind protected from the wind etc
I was thinking that under the bus was not a good idea.
No doubt. The way they zoned it, Ik the master br hot as a mf
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.
And if they want to support a really heavy stuff. Why don't use something durable like Idk metal.
thats what i was thinking. either on the back or a unit thatll fit nicely on top, but you could run into height problems
Who Cares?😮🤔

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.

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.
@@scrapgamingx1942 not a super high quality build if it will rot quickly though

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
Interesting
And treated wood because it’s exposed to the weather year round
Beautiful job, great work! I have a couple questions.
Why didn't you opt to put the ac on top?
And with drywall and tile and bricks how will long term they keep not crack?
Not being critical just wonder how well those parts hold up?
I don’t care what kind of wood you put under the bus. It won’t last.
@@finaltouchautodetailingllc I hope the tile was composite/plastic. I lay tile and if it's ceramic, it will crack due to vibration and expansion/contraction from weather changes, especially if you didn't put in expansion joints and gaps where it meets walls/under cabinets.
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.
Would have been easier to just say "the entire build is garbage" lol
@@HankGrill Well it's not like they said the tile is going to start cracking once the bus starts bouncing and twisting
.
So ideally speaking, where would the best place for a generator be on a school bus conversion?
It’s like they never bothered to do a stitch of research. If they sold this to someone I hope to god no one got sick from mold.
YES!! Thank you for commenting this, i was thinking all the same things you mentioned. Ive been researching builds like this for a long time, they made a lot of decisions they didnt research beforehand.
as a physics teacher, watching you paint the bus fully black made me shake my head
Even as a not-physics teacher, I had that response. 😅I immediately felt hot just seeing the black. Glad they caught on right away!
Looked Way better when it was primer gray too lol
Also, apparently they don't clean a lot of showers. They're going to love cleaning that one....

I definitely would have welded up frames for the tanks that had a roller tray for easy maintenance & repairs down the line
I don't think they plan on keeping too long. but maybe the next owner will re-frame it. it's a good idea nonetheless. I've seen other builds do it in metal 😉👍👌

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.
Yeah I would have wanted at least the bottom parts to be welded into the frame
No they did not do a great job. It's all done wrong and it sucks with lots of mistakes.
Exactly
I spent my whole childhood working on RVs. My family had a Dealership and we rented. So we had a shop to repair everything. I’m just saying this so you understand I’m not a TH-cam troll.
The tanks on the bottom of the bus will not last. Depending on where you live and drive. I would say 2years tops and it will start falling apart. The danger being you don’t know when the wood is going to give. My point is it’s a danger to others if your on the highway and a full black tank comes flying out. This is just what I saw in the first few minutes.
This is pretty much the thing that I would get completely redone... its wood its not supported that well and I'd also be worried about hitting things underneath with all those low add ons.
To see all of your enthusiam and hard work was absolutely inspiring and truly impressive! Gorgeous home on wheels guys! Bravo!
As a cabinet installer, I think the vibration from driving over potholes will f*ck up your wood frame and sheetrock
And the wood frames under the bus to hold the water tanks and AC unit will not stand the test of time.
As i saw the floor i was thinking oh no, what if spill something? Then the water already was coming through the roof. You should be able to remove spilled milk for example. If not, you will get butyric acid, a reason to burn the vehicle. To remove the desaster you have to open the floor. For roaches and mice as well. Everything heavy could kill you in a car accident.
@@stefanmargraf7878 Yea they clearly built this for the looks. Not at all as actually useful mini home. This seems to be case with most youtube channels making these. Hasty job for the looks that would not last 1 month of active usage.

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
I feel like they're going to have a massive mold problem with the windows and metal touching the insulation?
true
thank you for giving me hope that there exists smart people who think
As a mechanic, the wood underneath made me cringe. I give it about a year and everything under that bus is gonna end up on the highway. Wood vs moisture and vibration, wood looses every time.
The exposed wood below and drywall is an interesting choice. I wonder how well it will hold up.
IT WONT LOL
Also hope the AC unit won't get smashed with a bump
@@hidde8232 Or them by dying from carbon monoxide poisoning
@@MrPaumain the ac filters the air
@@jaylynbeck that’s not how an A/C works. It’s not going to filter out carbon monoxide. If that was the case no one would ever die silently in their homes from carbon monoxide poisoning.
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.
To rectify the potential for mold in the bathroom, they could coat the entire wall with several coats of clear sealant.
War, i also would never put a door with all those window paynes to easy to break into
@@paulettebarrow9791 yeah but it has a frame, and they could always change it
Baby blue💀
@@Ethanbumhole they can always return to "cool" black ...😁
Great first job guys.
As a Motorhome owner that have travelled pretty much the entire country, a couple of suggestions:
1 - Layout : For the next bus, try to have the living room upfront so the driver seat can also be used as a living room seat.
2 - Color: Whatever you do to the sides, roof needs to be white. Even that blue will be really hot in the desert.
3 - Space: Try to use the space under the floor on the lower sides for everything (propane, tanks, generator, etc) AND storage. Storage is premium space in an RV and there is plenty of empty space there.
4 - AC: I understand a split system is cheaper but a roof system is so much better and doesn't occupy space internally.
5 - Speed: You may consider changing differential gears to improve highway performance (and reduce fuel consumption)
He just made this for views. It's unlikely he has any intention of making a functional RV.
@@lef242 yeah .. I woudln't be suprised if that thing was at a local scrapyard after a car crash or it completely broke
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.
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!!!

That AC condenser unit will not be blowing any air to the inside of the bus goddamnit.
I think using metal brackets for the tanks would be a better option.
Yeah, those tanks were not done well at all. Should have treated the wood too. But would be better framed in steel and painted. That exterior wood will rot in less than a year.
Fr
I wondered if I was the only one who thought that as well.
Not even brackets are necessary. Most people use metal straps. That wood is going to rot really fast because it's not even treated wood.
I thought all that wood at the bottom didn't seem a good idea.
I absolutely love the work you, your brother and father do, turning old buses into homes! I want one!!
Respect for doing this video for 6 months 🫡🫡

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.
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!
and I also wonder how bricks and floor tiles will react to vibrations and bumps. The overall result is beautiful, but I don't know how it will stand the test of the road.
That should have been done with metal instead of wood. That won't last very long. Especially if the tanks are full.
@@cameliajordana1513Exactly! And the A/C mounted next to the unrestored 1991 exhaust system on a vehicle with no ventilation isn’t a biggie either! “Heh” carbon monoxide ain’t shit!
I get so amazed that people know how to just do all this stuff! The electric and plumbing... is impressive. Looks so sharp. Have a great time.

Yep. Untreated wooden box to hold a black water tank on the undercarriage. A/C unit next to an unrestored 91 vintage exhaust system in a vehicle with no natural ventilation. Real pros!!
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.
Great advice...
Also seems like theres is way too little windows and or ventilation if theres 4 ppl in the back. The master bed room looks like a claustrophobic death trap. Cool project none the less.
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.
I LOVE IT! You guys did a fantastic job! Love love love the blue! Wish it were mine ♡
awesome awesome jobs guys! I literally applaud after watching this video.!
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.
He invites elon musk to help him
there was no room for a roof fan, he barely fit the AC how do u expect him to put a ceiling fan

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.
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.

All I can say is, WOW 🤩!! The inside of the bus 🚌 is nothing short of awesome 👏! Good job, Guys.
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!!!!!
I thought the same. However, I would suggest bed rails to keep it cheap.

@@SetUpAndFlushOut no they build entire houses with cardboard and some wood, they do not use bricks.
@beardsntools sure buddy. Apparently you've never heard of brown stones /row houses been standing since 1900s definitely not cardboard. Proove me wrong
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.
the points you brought up are exactly what I thought as well. I would have kept the original doors. Also if there is a flood that AC is not good under the bus. But great job for a first try, they will make improvements as time goes by.
Forgot the lsck of ventilation to the generstor unit. They have a few creative upgrades to do.
I think learning to weld would be extremely helpful... that's a lot of lumber under that bus!
Also, the bus has no ventilation, save for the driver's window, the door, and the fan in the bathroom. Even if the AC can keep up in its location (it won't), the air will still feel stuffy. Stale. Humid. Not to mention that roof is going to condensate like crazy.
Also, since Alan mentioned welding: a lot of their mounting (personal) issues, could be solved with a roof rack - even if just a small one at the back of the bus. The AC and generator could share that space, easily.
@@cyberfloater9293 great point. I have never tried building a car to actually put on the road here myself but I know there are strict regulations in Europe
After seeing you're current bus, I see how you learn from your mistakes on this one. Both Solid Builds.
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.
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.
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.😁🙏
Very nice.... great job... love it!!! Looks like a pro job. Funny how you went from both sides, nothing but windows, to one tiny window over the sink. In my motorhome, I love all my windows and they all can be opened on nice days.... I agree that the wood is the wrong choice to hold the AC unit and the water tanks.
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.
1 medium sized bump and the tiles, wall bricks...anything with concrete or plaster will crack, weaken and come apart.

Wood here is a terrible, terrible choice. This bus ll be gone after about an year.
Metal all the way - sturdier, more flexible, lighter, not so much service-intensive as wood.
And even if it get damaged, easier to repair.
Still love your energy and dedication, Chay!
Why do people always use heavy timber on a bus where keeping it light should be important. Aluminum and steel should be the choice.
Wood also takes up precious space in such a small interior. I think they just winged it without thinking it all through or a detailed plan. Literally a bro production.
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.
Felicidades por el conjunto de tu trabajo; pero no tienes que olvidar que ante todo que es un Autobús a cuál se le integra un espacio habitable y no una casa. Yo le daría un ambiente más vehicular; ventanas y puertas de autobús. Encuentro que utilizas mucha madera, en algunos casos me pregunto si no podías utilizar aluminio, para aligerar de peso y aislamiento natural, lana y corcho. Colores claros en espacios pequeños; el azul refresca y elimina los mosquitos. 😉
Hey there President Chay, I liked your ambitions and video since you were able to save a bus and turned into a motor home.
You also made some mistakes which I want to tell you about. These tips that I'm about to tell you can help you next time when you build a motor home.
1. First when you restore this type of vehicle, it's to restore the exterior then the interior. You had to repair the exterior damages so it would be easier. You could have fixed the dent first and then painted the bus
2. You had to focus more on the driver's position. The drivers comfort is really important, and I was able to notice that there is no much leg room and much space. You should have focused the drivers position for the interior innovation.
3. There was decorating which can make the bus heavier, the stone walls look great but they give a great disadvantage to the speed of the bus. You could have used maybe a lighter material similar to stones which would be great
4. It's the placement of the ventilation system which you could have put in the rear of the bus. Since it had loads of space
I hope you learn from these minor mistakes so you could improve your next project
Yes nothing screams 'security' like a glass door with its hinges on the outside lmao
Sweet build - looks fab, especially the blue and the bricks inside give off a great vibe. Three things distinctly missing from the mix is more natural light, a view and ventilation. 4 people sleeping in the back of an enclosed space along with cooking and showering… its going to get damp and stuffy in there REAL quick. These three problems are easy solves with skylight hatches, because hot air rises, and the hatches can also let natural light in. Around the lounge and bed area, a few small windows, perhaps a few opening can also add a tone of atmosphere, light, ventilation and who doesnt like waking up and looking out at nature if you are parked in such a place… also i would LOVE to see miniaturized window blinds to finish off the home style vibe. Perhaps also a full size electric retractable awning on the side with a little bar fridge access from the outside. That would shout summer holiday like few other things would.
You created a beautiful home and a super fun to watch video!

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.
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
This guy just made the perfect “I turned a bus into a house” by making it in ONE whole video and not in 100 videos for over a year
its whole not to be mean just correcting 🤓

exept the fact that he did half the things wrong: he used wood to hold things under a bus and it will rot away very quickly, he put the air conditioner under the bus and it will not get enough ventilation, and it will be filthy with road dirt and fumes, and then blow that into the bus, also there's no passenger seat, deep blue will also be hot and his generator box isn't ventilated so it will overheat which is dangerous as hell
It's thanks not thaks not to be mean just correcting
This guy is literally roasting me rn
Transforming a bus into a luxury tiny home is an exciting and creative project, blending practicality with style.
I thought black in the beginning was gonna attract heat and then you guys change the color like driving a car in the hot summer I think as long as the inside is not black the blue on the outside will do! This is an impressive makeover! You guys got talent! Love it! Hope it works out in the long run! ❤
Love the whole ideas, the makeover from an old school bus to a mobile homes. Yeah, that's really awesome and terrific guys! Good job.😍

You all did a great job. Well done. I think I want a short bus like this one instead of a Leisure Travel Van. This is gorgeous.
You have many videos of your dad helping. Love him, he is your dad. You only get one dad.
I appreciate your willingness to rework something that just didn’t seem right. That exhibits great patience, and wisdom. WELL DONE!
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?
Something may soon be amiss, but it was all there for the moment!
dude it's a youtuber making a youtube video for money it's his job now. 10M view is something like 30k to 50k minimum to around 80k to 100k. Of course his bus wont drive correctly on roads but that's not why he built it.
I think the bricks are plastic
he built this bus for content not for actual use. the moment i saw how the driver seat and cockpit were set up i knew this thing wouldn't drive anymore than what they did for the video. he probably sold this for parts, sold as whole to some idiot, or just abandoned it somewhere
@@EVSkecthCode i knew this was mental retardation before i even clicked on it. that means i didnt get clickbaited right?
I love the way you reuse what use to be the roof for other little projects. Talk about a great example of recycling! :)Good job boys!
Always keep the scrap pieces. They always come in handy.
This whole project screams trial and error and I love it. U guys didn't give up yall kept trying different things finding a solution and I'm here for it 😂
Nice job and the blue exterior looks great too. I would have left a few windows in it though.
So cool! I hope you guys have the budget to keep doing this stuff
11:40 I think it's not good idea to put the AC there as when driving it can cause it to break plus that space is not good because air conditioner should atleast have 200 centimetres from front for it to work normally. On hot days it can overheat and break and when it breaks it's very hard to take it out I would recommend if U put it on the roof tho
Converting a bus into a luxury tiny home is a remarkable journey that blends creativity, technical skills, and a passion for unique living solutions.
