Rooftop A/C Install, Everything Is Broken!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Parts have started arriving for this 1953 Kenworth Pacific bus. In this video I install a rooftop A/C heat pump unit. I have to fix a few other things along the way, but eventually I get the job done. Now the interior is a nice place to work, so I can move on to other repairs.

    Dear LBG 👍👌👏 I absolutely love this RV bus series. A lot of progress happened and you opened up some cans of worms (which is completely normal while doing a project like this). This bus seems to need a complete overhaul, especially the roof sides are rusted out/through (unfortunately inside and outside). I really hope that you will somehow find a way around a complete restoration because unfortunately the vehicle isn't worth that kind of huge effort. The new AC unit seems great. I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the next video part. 2) If I remember correctly, you didn't give/change back the green 4WD international pickup truck light hearted. The scrapyard owner Silas, "Adventures made from scratch", just showed a nearly rust free example that is for sale. Unfortunately including rats nests. 🙈 But despite a bit front damage, the truck seems fine. I don't know how far away his scrapyard is but maybe you are interested in having an International 4WD pickup truck again. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all of you.

    To clean the roof of plantlife, you should have bought 15% sodium hypochlorite, I use it to clean paving flags her in England, brings them up like new in a few minutes. I buy 20 litre barrels of it for around £30.00. It's the same stuff as bleach, just a concentrated version.

    I remodeled my brother's BSB motorhome / race truck and one of the cheapest and transformative jobs on it was to cover the celling with some grey carpet and inset lights which cuz now a days are LED don't need a massive air gap round them cuz of the heat. The Grey carpet which is just uses spray adhesive made the RV look modern, clean and tidy. I will totally recommend this to you to do especially as it seems you've got no insulation up in the celling. Keep those great videos coming there and you are great
