Damn, can I borrow your Dads? 😂 I’m converting my skoolie by myself. You two are blessed to have your Dads still! Hug them and appreciate them as often as possible!
You are my favorite instructors channel at the moment , in helping me build my skoolie. I have a 2003 Thomas school bus, 28 ft bumper to bumper. Dads shine with years of work and craftman's experience. Thank you all.
Thank you guys for doing this video! This will be so helpful, we will be doing something similar! We just have to figure out how to put on those fitting he did lol. Looks like you should buy your dad some new gloves, he is working hard! We are in that same heat so we feel you for sure, drink water and stay safe!
(Questions? Of course I have questions!) On your dual LP tank connector: Can you give us some details on that? I've heard that there's ones that will draw from one tank, and when it's dry, automatically switch over to the 2nd tank. (And on a cool note: The QR code you held up at the Mexican restaurant works from my screen!) Have a great week! :)
Yes, I noticed at the last minute (while editing) that we didn’t have video of that being installed. One of the few times we were all doing separate projects and not videoing them all 😂 We’re planning an update video soon where we answer questions that people have asked about certain projects after the fact and maybe give a bit more detail on certain things, too.
Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing . Did it come it two lengths that equal 33'? or is it one length and you guys cut it? I don't need 33' and cant find anything shorter?
How tall is your compartment? Do you find it easy to pull the tanks in and out and to hook them up? Trying to decide on dimensions for ours under the bus.
To be honest, we’ve only had to put them in once during install, and I guess we’ll find out first time we change them. Admittedly, it’s a little tighter than we’d really like, but we decided to sacrifice some height to keep them off the ground enough. Give and take, I guess!
Tale Of Two Smittys , Thanks for your reply. Helps to know it’s a little tight. I’m getting ready to buy the metal for ours. How tall of a compartment did you guys create?
@@TaleOfTwoSmittys Thank you very much for your response. We were in North Carolina the other day and my wife said she thinks she saw you pulling into the Thousand Trails we were at. I rode my bike around the following morning but I didn't see your rig.
ua-cam.com/video/ndvPpkV92vk/v-deo.html Yeah, crazy right?! We are doing our entire build in a parking lot off a generator. We talk about it in two previous videos, if you want to check them out: Episode 08 “Pandemic Skoolie Build Q&A” and Episode 10 “Parking Lot Skoolie Build” which you can find in the link.
So not right! That feeling of being violated is real, pervasive. Though the cost of a new generator is money you don’t want to spend, it’s the disappointment in some part of humanity that will stick with you. I’m sorry. Most people, 99%, would never think of stealing, the others are absolutely clueless. Hard to do but keep your head up, forgive, and move on. We enjoy what you do. Go for it without hesitation.
@@TaleOfTwoSmittys it just the role i saw in the video is meant for plumbing fixtures. Usually gas rated tape is yellow in color. I couldn't see the label in the video though so just thought I would alert you to the possibility.
I had a few clips to add that show the gloves he’s been going though (he’s burned through three already!), but the sound messed up so I didn’t include it 🤦🏼♂️
Check out our Instagram for a possible propane regulator giveaway this week (8/17-8/22) @TaleOfTwoSmittys on IG
I would love a chance to win one we are doing ours now @noname_nowhere_bus on Instagram
Kudos and huge props to Dad for just sending it all week. Excellent work and awesome work ethic, especially in the heat.

I enjoy watching your educational videos, and I also enjoy the background music very much. Wish I knew how to describe it.

What a great comment to read-thank you! Glad to offer some value, and we appreciate your support! Good luck with your build!!

Thanks y’all, and yeah, keep cool!! And he went through three pairs of gloves in two weeks-crazy!
Y'all are doing great. We are enjoying watching your videos!
Nice reuse of the handicap locking rails.
Thanks so much for watching. Appreciate the comment ✌🏻 Yeah, dad thought of reusing the rails, especially since they are aluminum!

Thanks for watching ❤️
Yes way to go with the propane water heater and stove. How about the heating of the bus?
Ooh, great question-we should’ve mentioned this. We plan to put a small wood stove in the bus. Stay tuned!
@@TaleOfTwoSmittys Thank you. I have seen numerous skoolies with little wood stoves. I like that idea too.
Yeah, we just love the smell of a good wood stove!
Is that a two stage regulator?
Yes, it is. It automatically switches to the second tank.
Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing . Did it come it two lengths that equal 33'? or is it one length and you guys cut it? I don't need 33' and cant find anything shorter?
We found it in 25’, 50’, and 75’ I think.
What was the dimensions of that box
awww daddy helped too!
🙄
Daddy’s a plumber. Why wouldn’t we have him help?

I believe the tanks are 18”, so maybe we cut the rods to 24”? Somewhere in that range.
@@TaleOfTwoSmittysnice to post the full dimensions height width and depth too in your description above
Sorry if I missed it but can you tell me your fresh, grey, and black water tank capacities?
We've got 81 gallons of fresh, 42 gallons of grey, and no black. We have a Nature's Head composting toilet.
@@TaleOfTwoSmittys Thank you very much for your response. We were in North Carolina the other day and my wife said she thinks she saw you pulling into the Thousand Trails we were at. I rode my bike around the following morning but I didn't see your rig.
We don’t have a thousand trails membership, but we were around NC!! Where were you?? Thanks for watching!
Was that all done in a parking lot?

Yes, that loss of faith in people is the hard part! Thanks for the kind words! 🙌🏻
Im pretty sure the wrong type of teflon tape was used on your gas fittings
Thanks for the heads up. Was there a right kind you’re thinking of?
@@TaleOfTwoSmittys it just the role i saw in the video is meant for plumbing fixtures. Usually gas rated tape is yellow in color. I couldn't see the label in the video though so just thought I would alert you to the possibility.
Just double-checked. It is rated for gas and water. Thanks for noticing.
@@TaleOfTwoSmittys great glad to hear it. Never want to make a mistake with the propane systems. Love seeing the progress of your build
Get Mr. Smith new gloves!
I had a few clips to add that show the gloves he’s been going though (he’s burned through three already!), but the sound messed up so I didn’t include it 🤦🏼♂️
