    Doug, I think you’re just feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment . I don’t think the bus was a bad decision… of course you couldn’t inspect the ‘ guts ‘ online … BUT, the measures you can take to improve the bus will make it worth it . The leaks can be addressed . Another project to accomplish 👍. One step at a time 🙏. You can do it !!

      ​@@lechatbotte.I agree. As Grandad would say, "Lay this one to the side for a better day." With so many other projects to be excited and happy about, this one can wait. I'm so excited to see the mobile home completed! So far, I have been amazed with the progress and learned how to put on my new metal roof on my mobile home! Thanks to Doug and Ashley!!!

      ​@@livingdiyfferent*** I totally understand. I avoid used vehicles because I cannot work on them. And older vehicles were built to last longer. I do not need fancy bells & whistles, I want a comfortable and reliable vehicle that suits my needs. I was so disappointed re your discoveries. Yes, you 2 can do the repairs but this bus ended-up not being as nice as it is nice-looking.

    Doug...it's okay. It's not a total loss. A total loss would be a bad engine or major rust on the axles. Think of it like a great mobile home renovation! Take it all the way to the studs and build it up the way you want. What a great van build you are about to embark on! I have all the confidence in the world that y'all are going to turn this little bus around.

    Doug, its a good bus with some issues you can fix. Dont be overwhelmed and discouraged.
    Start with fixing the roof vent and if you're still discouraged, sell it as a van build out. These buggies are popular for van lifers and you can easily sell it to break even.
    The good news is it is an easy resale if you don't want to mess with it beyond fixing the roof leak issues.

    Doug I have Faith in you. I know you can do this. Im trying to think of suggestions for you on the rust. Mmmmmm I do watch a lot of car TH-camrs. Each one does there own thing when fixing up cars. Let's see there's Josh with Sleeperdude. He used to work in an auto body shop. Now he teaches his kids to work on cars. There is "Turnin Rust" down in Texas. They also have "Restored". His is mostly getting old cars running. Mmmm. There's also "Budget Builds".
    mostly when I watch any of those channels mostly sleeperdude. I see them use a wheel grinder and grind the rust off. Another one uses the cleaner "clr". Sleeperdude uses a grinder grinds a lot of the rust off with a wheel grinder and then to prevent further rust. Primes it with a Rust-Oleum primer. The Soft spot in the floor can be removed and replaced with a wood designed for movement. I also watch lots of schoolie builds. You can buy a replacement hatch if you choose that route in case the bus falls over on its side.
    I'm all for helping my channels I watch. You never know what you find. Sleeperdude is family friendly. And quite funny to watch. They are big on restoring old cars to get them back on the road. He's also collecting old cars. His farm is a parking lot.

Ref RHCP If you keep it, a fix for the leaking roof hatch is remove it and the seal, then buy or make a fiberglass panel, attach it with 3M 5200 Marine grade adhesive sealant. Cleans up with mineral spirits and holds stronger than the object you are attaching. No fasteners needed but it is permanent.

    I heard that in Italian the expression is, " you bought the bike, now you have to pedal it", I thought that was cute. Sorry the bus wasn't what you expected, I'm sure you can fix it, but you bought the bike, now you have to pedal it.💙

    I LOVE when you say "I just" because I know its about to snowball into something EPIC!!!! Can't wait to see how this turns out. I am bummed for you that it is not in the condition you thought it was. But I know you will make it a 1000% better..

    If we know you, you and your deep thinking cap will come up with something I hope the manufacturers are watching, as they could learn a lot from you.

    '08, same year as my 2500 pickup. Gathering it has the 6, 6.2 or diesel 6.6 motor then. If you're lucky it has the 1000 code Allison transmission. >>;=) It might be worth getting somebody to weld in a panel on the roof or otherwise build something up there that completely covers the hatch, so that it's not a leak point. Only other suggestion would be to get a gasket ordered/made for it or go crazy with some type of good-quality sealant. Thankfully the rust all seems surface, but you have to find all the places the water is actually getting in to get it fully taken care of. As a vehicle/drivetrain, you have a good bus, if you can get past the other issues. Whoever designed it needs to be flogged, though. >>:=p

      It has a 6 liter gas engine. Yeah, there's a lot more to come as we keep digging deeper. The roof is a fiberglass shell, so I could patch that myself if needed.

    I’m so sorry that you got ripped off on this bus but I believe in you and I’m sure you can fix it. You can’t trust car dealers, they usually hide the real problems with the vehicle. 😊😊😊

      Very true. I've noticed that. They hide problems and lie.

    You and Eevee will sort something out. Im in aggreeance with the others, make it into a camper for you all. P.s love hoe after you finished tearing foam from ceiling, Eevee just stood there looking bewildered then just through the rest on the ground. Got a bit of a chuckle out of me. You can do this.x
