Appreciate it. But I've realized that no matter how good something is, you're never going to make everyone happy. So I just put it out there. If you like it, great. If you don't, great. Either way you watched the video and commented and that's all KZread cares about.

Wow! What a bunch of rude A______S!!! Maybe know what you're talking about and know the whole story BEFORE you make your rude, nasty comments!! If you think you can do it better, then DO IT!! Otherwise, be nice. Red, you do wonderful work and the craftsmanship is beautiful!! I'll be in touch to see about you doing my van build. Thanks for everything!!!😊

Very nice bus. Client should be very happy. Love the colors and the fact it has everything you need to feel comfortable.

Wow what a beautiful build! So well planned and very articulate! Red's Custom Design sure does amazing work!!

Nice rig, it would be a bit small for me but it will work for one person. Very good work on the finishes.

Back in the stone age, my mother had a yellow station wagon with wood paneling (and no seat belts or soft surfaces, metal everything.) I immediately thought of that beast when I first saw this bus. I miss it. The purple however reminded me of the Knight Bus in Harry Potter. Either way, I like it.

Love your woodwork mate. It's a really high standard. Absolutely beautiful.

Fabulous job .. love it.. Dr William Mount

I agree the wood stove would of been better angled the way you suggested for loading wood and safety. The toilet I think would of been better placed so your legs pointed towards entrance. Doesn't look like enough room for legs with wall. Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you.

If it was facing the door, you would not be able to close the door while on the toilet. I'm 5'11, 270lbs. And I can sit on the toilet just fine with the door closed, and still have room to do what needs to be done.

Looks good dude. Has some confidence in your choices and your work, u dont have to explain why u chose this or that. It's great! Doin a bus is not easy work or to extreme that this one needed, u did it all, Kudos to u. I would let u do my next one.

That is an awesome shop you have there. I want one just like it.

Well done!

I am a seasoned builder and a retired RV Technition so that being said , you did a very nice job with this build . However ( please take what I have to say in a helpful manner )........... , School bus windows leak . It doesn't matter what you do as far as sealing them they will eventually leak and when they do it is rarelly known because they leak into the walls and create mold , black mold. Yes I know the client wanted to keep her windows BUT you should have explained to her what I just said. You re-sheeted the entire outer skin and that would have been perfect to install double pane RV windows that rarelly leak . You said nothing abouty what you insulated the bus with so I hope it was with Owens Corning Pink or best , urethane spray foam. The fridge , I noticed there were no locking mechanisms on the doors . Those doors will open when she turns and we both know what will happen. Child proof door locks at a minimum would suffice . Lastly . why didnt you install a light in the rear storage ?. Cam locks would also have been the way to go to remove the battery panel instead of screws . That's all I have to say .Peace

Thanks for watching and your concerns, but I disagree with you on them. If you do not completely remove the windows, clean and reseal them as you install them. Then yes, they will leak. But if you put a bead of good urethane sealant down, then install the window and put a bead around the outer edge. Once it's in, it is water tight . This is not my first bus build. It is the first bus build my company has done. As for the insulation, I did mention that it was completely sprayfoamed. Also, the refrigerator has a latch. It wasn't in at the time of the video. That's why it wasn't on in the video. The top panel (under the mattress) comes off for access to the electrical system as well. There is nothing that needs to be accessed in there on a regular basis, so why add a latched door? Also, as in most cases, the underbed storage area is crammed so full of stuff a light wouldn't do any good anyway. This customer is no exception.

Excellent craftsmanship. Two questions: What is the interior dimension, width and length from behind driver's seat to rear door? Where is your shop located?

I never got why everyone wants to take the bus windows out. If you remove them, and reseal them properly. There's no need to replace them.

Wish these trucks or bus were brought into Australia much better than a Toyota coaster,the motor sits way out in front with a bonnet easily served and have a look at the motor.from down under.

Very nice workmanship indeed...the only question/concern I have is the bed...I do not see any holes for ventilation to ensure the mattress doesn't get moldy ... buses of course have a high rate of condensation...but I do realize that the wood stove will help the condensation...but with the bed and the stove being at opposite ends, I'm not sure if that's adequate ... is there venting for the bed/mattress?...Great job and well done...it's beautiful and well thought out.

If you don't keep your van/bus/camper closed up all the time, you don't need holes in the bed board. I lived in 42 Sq ft 6 days a week for 25 years. And never once had a mold issue and never had holes in the bed platform.

looks good, the only advise I would give is, if your reskinning it you should have done away with the original bus windows and put in rv windows

@RedsCustomDesign

Ай бұрын

#1, why? They were all sealed when put back in so not to leak. #2, that defeats the whole point of having a bus. #3, it wouldn't have been in the budget anyway. #4, the owner wanted to keep the original windows because that's what gives it the bus feel. So please explain to me what the benefits are for replacing the windows with rv windows?

How much did this rig cost to build?

Are you referring to the back and side door? If so, the deadbolt is only there to replace the factory nonlocking emergency lift handles. And if a criminal wants in it, they will get in it. Any side window, door window, windshield, etc. Don't over think it.

Been camping for a long time, I'm 65 and have had 6 different travel trailers. Can you tell me what states or for that matter what rv parks where its ok or legal to dump gray water (shower and or sink water). Please list them for me, if you get caught you will get fined. It is illegal.

Wrong, most BLM land you can dump gray water on the ground. How many shower pans do you see for outside showers? How many camp Kitchens do you see with holding tanks? 30+ years of going camping and have one had one issue. And that was in NY.

@frankzicari784

I stand corrected BLM land you can do it. I have never been or will ever do BLM camping. That being said some states like Arizona allow shower water only no sink water and no you don't see shower pans under outdoor showers or tanks under outdoor kitchens but that doesn't mean it's OK. Most all parks I have camped at will state in the rules no dumping dish wash water on the ground. So other then BLM camping I don't think that you would find any other places it's OK. As far as the outdoor shower and outdoor kitchen if people can not figure out that that is the same thing, well let's just say you can't fix ...... .
