    I swear, I learned from watching you build Navi. My water system is put together the way you would have like , in the beginning. I hope you’re proud. Thanks, bud

    As a school bus driver, I utilize all my mirrors for different views around the bus. That crossover mirror will serve you best if you angle it in a little more. You will be able to see the front bumper & about a foot in front of it, as well as down the sides of the bus. It helps when having to make tight turns & you won't have to guess how close you are to obstructions.
    I love all your builds!

    I’ve learned a lot from your vids. Skoolies have come along way in seven years. No more Romex or twist connectors. Today it’s multi strand marine tin coated copper wires and crimping. That will bring your bus to code. Solid wires can break from vibrations and twist caps can loosen. Loose wires are the main cause of fires in RV’s and skoolies. We have come so far in 7 years. Navi is still one beautiful skoolie. Crimp, crimp and crimp!

    • @navigationnowhere

      I know right! I was talking to some friends about how much the bus world has changed and we have all learned and innovate
      so much as community. Looking over Navi even shows how much technology has changed as well.

  • @garymmarich4265

    • @navigationnowhere
      @navigationnowhere  Рік тому

      I like that idea. It would make bleeding the system a lot faster. I think Navi needs a bit of a deeper remodel after all of these years.

    The other real issue with the water heater placement is that it’s not in the heated area of the bus. So when temps are freezing can cause the internal plumbing of the water heater to bust from freezing

    You could add return tubing for hot water with check valve & coolant circulation pump.
    Add switch for new pump near water pump switch and after like 10 seconds running circulation you'll have got water in seconds without waste.
    Works great for my similar installment
