I turned a bus into a luxury tiny home

Just some thoughts: You can't properly scrub brick walls in a shower, even if it is just facade brick. You can't use wood to hold things under a bus. It will rot out quickly, getting wet if you drive in the rain or snow, and nails will jar loose as you drive. You can't put the air conditioner under the bus because it will not get enough ventilation, and it will be filthy with road dirt and fumes, and then blow that into the bus. You need another seat with a seat belt for a passenger. It's not safe to be walking around in the bus making food while the bus is moving. Blue is hot too, especially a deep blue. Light colours keep the bus cool. Your generator box isn't ventilated.

Absolutely great familyproject. Allthou, Im a bit conserned about the electrics and plumming. - First of all, the water tanks are definetly not supposed to mixed with wood. They are way too heavy for that loose of bracketing. The absolute same thing, for any type waterheating elements + -pumps. They need to welded in. - Secondly, that rearbox for the generator its an absolute no go without a proper ventilation, electric insulation, fireproofing and safety circuit breakers. - Third, the original hydraulic opening for the doors and the buss doors, as combo, are actually surprisingly quite sturdy and burglar resistant. - Four: YOU NEVER EVER INSTALL AN AC ANYWHERE NEAR THE MOTORS EXHAUST SYSTEM, DUER TO CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING!!!

Bro got the battle bus

This book is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to create various types of garden buildings. The book provides clear and detailed instructions with numerous photos. youtube.com/post/UgkxBE-xSmFU7PIaMFUmmhnFxE035s5sv… a novice, I appreciated the book's step-by-step approach to the basics of building. The book also appeals to the more advanced DIY enthusiast with projects ranging from simple to complex. The book is up to date with the latest trends, such as solar panels, green roofs, and sweet chestnut shakes. The book has inspired me to pursue more projects in the future.

As a cabinet installer, I think the vibration from driving over potholes will f*ck up your wood frame and sheetrock

I bet everyone wishes they had a brother like Colby...

Awesome build!! The only thing that's definitely going to be a huge issue in the not too distant future is the wood brackets used under the bus for the water tanks and the AC compressor. Those definitely need to be made out of galvanized steel or even better aluminum. I'd be interested to see how they held up over the last 8 months since this video premiered.

Great job! Amazing the co-ordination between you guys, how you think thru stuff and solve problems, work hard and work fast. It is a shame that somebody else got this bus.

Just a recommendation, as a Master HVAC Owner, I would reconsider where you put that condenser. Under the bus will not allow it to pass the air through the coil thus causing a problem with your airflow through the evaporator. Meaning, the temp will not keep up in the heat. It will freeze over etc.. plus being in the dirt, salt, dust it’s just going to wreck havoc on that system. Put it on the back of the bus.

just a heads up. the AC needs not to be full of mud, dust, salt, sand, etc. even on the back most people cover them when not in use to protect the fins. it can not work effectively and depending on how dirty it gets, it will eventually just stop working. you might want to put it on the back like the generator

wow, what great work! we appreciate 1. sharing each step of the way 2. *no foul language, 3. your fantastic attitudes, energy, smiles, and finally 4. the fun you all seemed to have and sharing even your mistakes and fixes. great work, guys!

Awesome build ! I'm no expert, but I do have some recommendations : 1 - a roof rack 2 - a solar panel 3 - roof fan for proper ventilation and keeping the bus cool.

It's a good build, you guys transformed that old bus into somethingt nice. But my only concern is that framing under for the tanks, should have opted for aluminum or steal, cause the vibration and humps can easily lossen up that wood specially when carrying heavy load. And it will have lesser blueprint giving you more space for other things

Definitely would have used metal brackets or some type of metal bracing along the bottom for the tanks and everything I can't imagine that wood is going to hold up in bad weather over time but all in all it's still a very awesome looking project and you guys did a great job.

I loved watching you guys build this out! Wow! So so creative and not too pricey. You guys have a great attention to detail and work hard. Very well done!!!

Part of the reason why your AC wasn't able to keep up was because of where you installed the outdoor unit. It needs to have enough room to remove heat from the system. Because it is under the bus while it is running all of the heat is trapped under the bus, and recirculating back through the condenser coil. The head pressures are probably pretty high and it would explain why it wasn't doing a good job of cooling the bus. I do AC for a living.

Looks good, although I'd be worried that the wood underneath will rot very quickly, even if it was PT lumber, road wear would break it down.

Anything that involves 2 brothers is always interesting. My older brother and I were always up to high jinx growing up. This was all WAY prior to YouTube. Mom always told us “ You 2 are going to get hurt or make something incredible”. Unfortunately I lost my brother to a combination of bad Kidneys and Covid 19. And I will always remember the great things we did. And this made me an instant subscriber. God speed Gentleman you made a fan.

Wonderful job Ya'll did. Congratulations you have a nice rec vehicle to travel with, since you did it yourselves, it makes you appreciate everything more❣️

as a physics teacher, watching you paint the bus fully black made me shake my head
