Wish I would have done that when I was in college

Daaamn. That hat transition? Choooooh!

You and Luc are a great team! Now if you can just get your sis there at the same time, it would be the dream team!

Sweet! Your cuts are sweet Luc!

Why do you use 1/2" instead of 1/4" or 1/8" paneling? Seems like that would be very expensive and heavy.

So many men today are sisified...its so refreshing to see men being men...hardworking..building things...awesome job guys..just amazing

Next time you are trying to bend plywood a series of kerf cuts will make it so much easier.

Welcome back Luk! :)

For the future I’d just build a 2 T shapes out of 2x4”s that’s as tall as the ceiling. You could hold up the wood by slipping the T brackets under it when it’s lifted kinda like a jack stand. I do that when do sheetrock on ceilings actually. Saves tons of time and energy. I love the videos though!! Really giving me an idea for my own skoolie imma do soon.

Just wow! Keep rockin it looking good.

I’m happy to travel along on your journey with you

I am learning so much with your build. The wiring will definitely be a challenge for me.

I love watching this build progress! Great job, guys!

I did have fun

Great job

You both did an excellent job

You guys are awesome!!!!!

Great job guys

I love that you are picky and pedantic! Yes, it's consuming time and yes, it's more work. But it pays off in the end! 👍🏻👌🏻😎

Great video, love the seamless look on the ceiling...

Love your channel. What is the measurement for the plywood used on ceiling please?

you guys are totally awesome very very nice 🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇨🇦

Looks great guys

looking great ! a couple of things ( set your self up with a white chalk line, it's easily removes, on table saw where the dust comes out lean a trash barrel to catch all the dust , cheap and quick way to catch the dust ) I can't believe how quick it's moving now. I'm excited to see the next step. As a self employed contractor i see the next step, looking great congrats on ceiling. Thanks again

Thanks, best of luck with your build !

?? When placing the backer straps into the ceiling, why did you not place more straps? This would provide more anchor points to accommodate the arc tension for the ceiling boards. And what would be to much? It looks like you had 5, adding 2 or 4 more may help?? How many did you use when building Navi, a more traditional bus roof? You guys are doing a great job and thank you for sharing your adventure to help others! Best

very cool nice scribe vwork

Great video and build. I would have used the 1/2" plywood on the ceiling as backing for 1/4"x1x4 or so tongue and groove pieces run the length of the Bus. That is a very nice look and you dontbhave to be as exact on the plywood install.

Looks very nice guys 👍👍😊

How much was it for them to professionally do the spray foam?

Where and how do you get insurance from for a bus conversion?

whats the width of the bus? im 6'3" alot of van builds look nice, but there's always the worry ill have to sleep at an angle in a side to side facing bed. oh what the usual height of a 5 window & handicap/wheel chair door or a 6 window with wheel chair door?

What type of plywood did you use?

Love the videos, always want more, going to be a great bus and build. Look forward to viewing your adventures!

Are there medium sized buses? Something longer than a short bus but still under most/all length limits in state parks?

@november8039

3 жыл бұрын

Absolutely! Something like a 25'/7 window bus might be what you're thinking of!

Im curious how much the weight of the bus changes. Did you buy change weigh the bus before you started, many months ago?

@navigationnowhere

3 жыл бұрын

Yeah I will have a starting and final weight at the end. After building a few rigs. I found the weight before and after is not really that different. My concern is always trying to displace the weight to not change the driving ability of the vehicle.

Can I have some of your good luck? LOL

You might have already covered this. Can you tell us the height and width of the inside before and after everything you have done?

I have watched many a video on rv builds, is there a reason why I never see anyone use a nail gun instead of screws?

@navigationnowhere

I personally just don’t have a nail gun that would be able to handle larger gauge nails. But, you could.

@jwrangler12

The reason is 99.9 % of the people doing this are not builders. That are regular people building something they want. Regular people don't have nail guns they have drills and that's What they are comfortable with using.

I thought you used screws because of the flexing and movement and wear and tear.

@scottwetzel4444

3 жыл бұрын

I would agree with James Taylor - above. With the flex and movements of the body over time may push the nails out, as screw back out happens, it just is less common and a slower process. The use of a liquid nail is also something I would not do

A long, straight edge, 2 clamps and a skill saw would make cutting the sheets so much easier. You could cut them all at once, too.

it will crack

That bus built is roughly $90k If people wanted to know. Unless you have the skills to do this properly like this team has, having people do this for on top of mats will break your bank

I have totally enjoyed watching your builds. However, it saddens me that you are now having 3 - 4 commercials in one video. I don't know if you control that aspect of that or not. I know you are trying to educate people on all of the details of your build. It makes me want to close your video when they come on..... I am sure that is not your intention when educating all of us trying to learn, makes me sad....

This is a double edge sword. Without these ‘commercials’, Mike has less opportunity to afford to continue creating content for others to watch for free. I’ve noticed Google has been stepping up the amount of spaces for ads, and he can’t always control them. It’s just something we have to live with in order to keep this balance of Mike getting paid for his hard work, and us having to sit through a few seconds of ads. 😁
