    I just found myself talking to the video, giving you my opinion on what you should do to make the door fit. I'm an idiot. Interestingly, it turned out that you actually did what I was suggesting. Go figure... Another nice video guys!

    A Very smart move! We replaced our bus doors on our bus rv with a single french door after the electric board burned up to open and close. Tinted with plastic grids inside. So much quieter. However, after a year the door was real loose. Inside where the latch is splinted. We drilled thru and put steel plates on either side a tightened. So much better now. Know you will appreciate that door so much...

    Great Job Wanderboom! One thing, I would definitely make sure to unscrew the full length door light insert and flip it around so the screws are on the inside.

    That came out really good! Looks like it was meant to be there! 💜 Also, I never really noticed but the side table adds so much "extra" to the bus. Even folded down. That and the storage boxes add so much character! Just like you guys 💘 Great job, as always! 🙌🏻

    As soon as I saw the door leaning against the bus, I started hoping that you weren't going to mount it with the hinge pins on the outside. All it takes is a hammer and chisel to pop the pins out, and someone can just remove the door to get at your stuff.

    How has it held up? Has the glass cracked? I wanted to use a house door but I'm afraid the grass glass isn't sturdy enough to hold up to Road abuse.

    That should quiet your ride while driving right? Well done. Looks like you lucked out with a square opening. Not sure what I would do with all metal door and frame if it was not square. Not like I could shim a frame. Lol looking forward to the next video.

    How do you override the air pressure system that opens and closes the front door? My bus shifts into R and D, however it wont get any throttle response because there is no air pressure in the front door to close it all the way and depress the switch above door to turn safety light off. Any advice is greatly appreciated! I have a Neoplan AN440.

    Hi and thanks for watching.😉 it’s tougher to find exterior doors at 30”. Check with a local lumber yard or door supply company. They might be able to order one for you. Good luck.✌️👍

    I wanted to see how you replaced the double door with a single hinged door. I didn't know you were going to narrate disassembly. You are not a very good educational video maker. No one cares that the bolts are rusty and snapped.
