  I have recently been chasing an issue with very similar symptoms to this on my skid steer that I picked up cheap due to smoking badly. It's a common rail Bosch system and I noticed if I unplugged the cylinder 2 injector it stopped knocking. After a compression test yesterday, and all were good on pressure but cylinder 4 glow plug was wet, I shifted my thoughts to the injection system. Also when I drained the oil it was 7 quarts over full (16 instead of 9). Think I have at least 2 bad injectors, and maybe a bad CP4 as well (Debris from pump ruined injectors). Anyway thanks, as your video helped confirm some of what I am seeing.

  Great video! I've been considering trying to build my own custom system for my trailer and this is exactly the right direction. I saw that you already commented on someone asking about making this a more "portable version" using the hose bib fitting for inlet/outlet fittings. My question is, do you see any reason the flow from the larger hose would be too much for this system? Also, in general, what do you think is the optimal water pressure for a system like this? I generally set mine between 45-50 but I wonder if this needs a little more pressure to avoid low pressure in the system due to the 3-stage filters. TIA!

•

  Thank you for making this vid. It helped me as I was going to use one of those small RV accumulators but those only give you enough water to fill a glass and would only help the pump minimally.

  Awesome. regarding the tee, maybe I didn't find a stainless steel one that had male. Also, one has to be for PEX. I guess I could have gotten all three male, then have a fitting that's female threaded to PEX. Maybe I didn't find one. I don't really remember.

  We actually wanted it more matte. To make it glossier you can use finer sand paper when sanding the bus and then put some clear top coat. You can also sand between the coats. We didn't put any clear top coat so we didn't do any research on that. The best would probably be some automotive top coat.

  Framing floors create thermal bridging reducing your thermal insulation by 16-30 %. Use a floating floor with XPS foam board never spray foam.

•

  Actually, even when framing 24" on center and using professionally installed closed cell spray foam, it's still better insulation than XPS and no framing. I calculated it once, and it ends up being r12 with framing and spray foam (2" thick) vs. R10 with XPS and no framing.

  Those rivrnuts are going to leak unless you put an O washer on them and all solar panels should be in the same plane otherwise the panels angled away from the sun getting less sun exposure will limit the ones angled to the sun. Those unistruts are flexible too not recommended for hurricane force winds. Use angle iron.

• 
  @WideAwakeTravels6 ай бұрын

  I put sealant around the perimeter of the rivnuts. Haven't had any leaks yet. Yes the solar panels are best installed flat on the roof. This is an example where we chose form over function. We don't like the look of panels sitting flat on the roof. They stick out too much that way. Having them follow the curvature looks better to us. Anyway, we are putting 3320 W of solar panels on the roof, so even with the energy losses on one side, we will have enough power for the bus. Regarding unistruts, you might be right, but there have been other people who have used them without issues, so I will see how they act when panels are installed.

  Some windows need to be deleted because of the placement of dividing walls between rooms. If a dividing wall is blocking a window, it should be deleted, because school bus windows get removed from the inside of the bus and if you put a wall there, you won't be able to remove the window when it starts leaking or breaks. Furthermore, people delete windows because they want to run an air conditioner on solar, and if you keep all the stock single pane windows, you won't be able to do that. They're not energy efficient enough.
