    Your husband is very skilled. I like the layout and details. If this is just the RV I imagine you have beautiful cabinets and furniture in your home as well.

    Thank you for posting the video. I was a school bus driver for 20 years before making the jump to truck driving. It is really nice to see that buses like this can be converted.

    Having owned a truck repair shop I have seen many home made bus/RV's and without out doubt yours is the best of all I have seen.I would love to have it and start viewing the country in comfort only problem is I can't see well enough to get a license so I'm afraid not.But it still is the best conversion I have ever seen.

    Had no idea it was up for sale until her end comments. I only have one issue with it. A 5 gallon electric water heater isn't nearly enough hot water I'd of put in a tankless hot on demand propane powered RV 500 system. That's what I've installed in my coach and really like it. Never run out of hat water unless you run out of propane or water.

  • @dghometeam

    Gaylene Horch, We painted the top with a heat reflective, anti mildew resistant paint. We added insulation all around where we replaced the old bus windows. Also, the floor has a layer of insulation below the wood floors. Yes, this could be a full time residence. It would need to have hook ups or someone could install waste and water tanks. We used closed oil electric heaters that plugged in. It was plenty warm down to the 30's.

    • @gaylenehorch4241
      @gaylenehorch4241 9 років тому +2

    bar none best bus conversion ive seen so far. I want to do this for my family and attempt to create mini bedrooms for the kids. Your video gives the closest view to mine. dig it. just an idea.... You could lift your bed 3 feet off the ground and use the space underneath as closets

    • @dghometeam

    I'm buying the same bus this Friday! I hope it turns out as nice as yours. I understand why you are asking that for it. It's ALOT of work and it's not exactly cheap! Great job! What's the furthest you have been in it? Anything you would do differently if you had it to do over? Yours is basically the same set up I had in mind with the exception mine will have to have 4 bunks.

      1timby Thank you so much. We only used fans to cool the bus. We used an oil filled space heater for heat. I would probably buy an electric box heater now though. The mileage is about 7-10 mpg depending on the terrain.
