FRIDGE
We went with the NX841 Norcold 2-way fridge. It is a fair amount of work getting it installed, so hopefully it will work good.
COUNTER TOPS
We got these off Amazon since we have prime and shipping was free. It was cheeper than anything I found locally. They are John Boos Blended Walnut Counter Tops.
BATHROOM
Most of the materials came from Home Depot. The diverter bowl is from a company in the UK: www.littlehouse...
DASH

    I Honestly applaud you this is a Big Project to Take on for anyone alone or with little help while maintaining a family life and or working as well! After watching so many conversation videos my favorites are the diy. Yeah you can be rich or well off and have one build from scratch but the ones who diy them theirselves seem more proud of the finished product. I know it must be a Bog Sense of accomplishment for anyone who builds one out! Great job!

    Alert!!!!! I don't you knew (too late now), but your son grabbed one of your power tools and proceeded, to turn it on, and use against the bus window. I love kids and want them to be safe, that is why I don't think children should be allowed to play around buses being under conversion. I love what you have done thus far on the bus.

    I think I would have flip the rockers over and put the usb on the bottom and the rockers on the top.. cords will hang over the rockers .. but thats just me.. Also on defrost A/C works best will warm air it drys the air faster and keeps fog off the glass... its the reason most new cars use A/C pump at the same time.

    I would also love to know this! Are those the original fans for the defroster? Did tou remove all of the coolant lines? So no inside heaters at all? How is your engine temperature running on hot days? I figured if I were to keep my heaters in my bus, they would help cool the engine on hot days. Is the scoop for your radiator working out okay? I love your bus and vids!

    Beautiful job on the dash. Have you found a heater that works with the system you explained in the video? I have the same situation and am trying to find something that works. Also, have you noticed your engine temps running hotter because of taking out your front heating system?

    Not knocking your buddies carpenter skills but a bus will tend to twist and such so each joint should have carpenters clue or a good dose of liquid nails in each joint . Otherwise there's going to be a tremendous amount of squeaking and movement in your dash !!
