Quick little rv "hack" for ya. When you need to heat up your sleeping area, try and have some kind of divider to seperate the rest of the bus from your bed area. A small space heater can heat up a small area better when its closed off. Also for your bed, try 2 single cots topped with thin plywood, then get a nice foam 8+ inche mattress on top so you don't have to worry about an air mattress deflating on you. Have fun!!
I just now watch your video. Nice I wanted to do what your doing but I’m kind a scared but I don’t have any kind of van or bus and I’m not handy and of course I’m old. I’m happy that your able to do that
I'd been wanting to build out a bus for decades, but had put it out of mind because it was so far fetched. Then circumstances aligned in a way to make it possible. Perhaps they will for you one day.
@@theskoolielife I’m glad you’re doing what you like. I’ll be watching your video and I like watching others that has other camper. Good luck maybe one day we could see each other on the road
I'm old too but I bought a used school bus off of Facebook Marketplace and I'm in the conversion process to make it simple convenient and comfirtable, a fully self contained camper, a 35' rear engine bus..

Thanks for those suggestions!
Looking good David. I can't believe how many problems/issues (potential or real) you have found solutions
Thanks. A project like this is non-stop problem solving.
awesome!
A good homemade heater is to use a blower fan from a electric dryer and use the heating element to blow air through.
That heating element would be 220 volts, no?
@@theskoolielife you could use it either way 120 or 220. My generator provides both.
I Just bought a Bus I am working on it me and wife go full time nice ideals you giving me Thank You

Old ? I am 81 and a widower, and I'm converting a flat nose rear engine 2002 International bus to a fully self contained camper.
