Hi Heather and George! Do you think there's way to do this without welding? No one on our crew is an experienced/confident welder and we'd like to avoid contracting out if possible. Thanks so much!

Hi! *Maybe* with a ton of rivets...but we would not recommend it. We think welding is necessary.

What length was your square inch tubing?

I would love to know more details about the cost of a roof raise. I know you mentioned that you spent $1300 on steel but then you listed many other things. Any rough estimate? - Thanks!

How do you make, or buy, the threaded steel jacks? I've seen them used, but don't know where to get them or how to build them.

Kathleen, DOT max height is 13’6”. You go way up on a roof raise and still be under that. :)

Does anyone know the name for the tool that is welded on the hat channel to keep the roof raised between jackings? I found a threaded rod and nuts that fit, but I don't know what the piece that is actually welded on to the frame is called. I got several blank expressions at the hardware store trying to describe it haha!

I misunderstood the function of that piece :-P after realizing it was literally just a surface for the nuts to sit on, we ended up using some scrap square tubing from the new support rib extensions we cut. Your videos have been quite helpful, thanks you two!

Hey guys, did you have any problems getting the bus insured with the roof raise? And if you don’t mind sharing, who are you insured through? We’re at that fun step in the process 🤪

Sorry about the delay! We are moving our life and the bus (more about that later). No, the roof raise not impact insurance. We have a video coming up on insurance soon. Try SF in your state for insurance!

Staggering cuts will not make it stronger. Did the bus have staggered cuts before? No it didn't. If you want it stronger weld-in cross members that would actually make it stronger.

It is the best we can do for now! Hope it helps others along their journey.

This may be the weakest step by step tutorial on the subject on KZread. So, how are you going to rivet the sheetmetal to the hat channels with what you did. How are you going keep the rivets in line? You didn't even say what kind of 18 gauge you are using. Don't like being so negative, but this is really worthless.
