  I absolutely love the fact you are doing this for just you and your dog! You've given me some great inspo for the years ahead building my bus for my and my pup 🐶 Too many 'couple' bus conversion videos out there make me cringe, I love how you have the dog area at the passenger side, I was just thinking of that and your idea looks great! Love your work :)

  Thanks! I often wish I had another person with me to hold the camera as it would make filming so much easier LOL! But I'm happy that it is just me and my dog :) I wish there were more Aussie solo bus lifers on KZread. I wish you all the best for your bus build. It is certainly a wonderful adventure.

  I hooked my heater up directly after the main fuel filter which is near the battery box on the passenger side, the kit came with a T piece which I used to just tap into the original line, has worked fine for years.

  Check your instructions, there should be a priming function on the control unit, this allows the pump to draw the fuel through prior to the heater starting 👍

  Great work. Quick question. Fuel line looks close to exhaust pipe. May be just the camera angle. How far away is it? Thanks for another informative and interesting video

• 
  @AGirlADogandABus27 күн бұрын

  The fuel line enters the heater quite close to where the exhaust comes out so for the initial couple of inches it is close, but that's the way the heater is designed so there isn't really anything you can do about that and I doubt they would make it that way if it caused problems. The fuel pump is mounted well away from where the exhaust runs so the rest of the fuel line runs away from the exhaust pipe. I'd have to get back under the bus to measure it but I don't think it's close enough to be a problem. I'll double check that with my mechanic when I see him later in the month.

  @ljdavis6079 I'm more concerned with how close the holes for the aircon are to where the exhaust comes out. I didn't notice any fumes inside the bus when I did my test bit I only ran the heater for a short time. I may end up having to close them off somehow in Winter or re-route the exhaust somewhere else. Time will tell.

• 
  @AGirlADogandABus29 күн бұрын

  If you're in the Brisbane area I highly recommend Craig Haswell and his colleague Rodney from Performance Auto Inspections. Craig did all my motorhome conversion certification, seat change mod plate and they also do my annual COI. I also recommend Andrew Bellars from ASB Engineering in Brisbane. He did my GVM upgrade certification. Both guys are mobile so depending on where you are they can come to you.

  Love the video! Looking at doing the same. Do you know what the process is with registering it so you can drive it with a C class license? Do you have to remove all the extra seats to bring the weight down then they assess the weight and approve it as being under 4.5 ton?

  I don't know the exact process of getting a coaster downgraded sorry because I've never done it. You would need to speak with an approved modification inspector in your state to find out. I actually increased my GVM to be able to carry more.

  Love your videos. Where did you get the brackets from? You mentioned welding the rack instead of bolting together. Did you discard this idea because of the expense? We are about to start our own coaster conversion so thanks for your advice

  Hi Dyani, I’ve loved watching your progress! I’ve also been doing my own coaster build, you’ve been very inspiring 😊, I’ve gone more basic, kinda no build bus build, I have enjoyed the learning process very much. I’m wondering how did you go about finding someone to do the GVM upgrade? I’m on the Sunshine Coast ( ummm rainy coast atm haha) I think we may have the same awesome mechanic 👍😁

  I only put them on the rear. My coaster has torsion bar suspension on the front so you can't put airbag assist on that.

  Pepper is going ok. I'm still battling with her anxiety and other issues. I worry about how we will manage living full time in the bus if I can't leave her in doggy daycare sometimes when I work.

  Another good job, well done! I was surprised that the current draw and the solar gain were more or less equal which means that after the initial outlay of the unit the running costs will probably be zero.

• 
  @AGirlADogandABus2 ай бұрын

  I'm not convinced the aircon was running at full power when I tested it. The specs say the effective power consumption is 4.2A which at 240V would put it around 1000W. Mine was only running up to 800 or so. But like I said in the video, it wasn't a particularly hot day. The real test will come next Summer if I'm still stuck in Queensland. Even so, I should be able to match most of it with solar if it's a clear day, and I have 6.9kW of battery storage so should be able to run it for a few hours off grid regardless of the weather, so I'm pretty happy with that.

  @the_dingo_show2 ай бұрын

  That is very good to know and it uses a bit less power as a heater too. The only advice I'd give is that the external vents are dircetly behind the wheel and even though you don't use the AC while driving, mud and rocks and tar will be flung into the fan and other holes. I would be looking to fit some kind of rear facing duct to block the debris. It's all very exciting now, when do you plan to head out?
