[@GustheStruggleBus]

Wow the floors turned out fantastic! It's always good when you have some body to help you then that's exactly what they're doing!

[@UncleMo2]

I'm looking forward to a full complete bus tour. You have had awesome skilled help with this build. Safe & happy travels :)

Hey Jax, omg that flooring looks amazing, wow. You were right he is a legend. Thanks for sharing your beautiful floor. x

[@jamesscott1932]

Yes, that is exactly what I just did with a new floor in my 2012 class A. Called the flooring factory first and they confirmed silicone for an RV, then they told me "no warranty" on the RV application. I hired a pro as well and I'm glad I did.

[@BNeilBrown]

Jax, it's hard enough for my no-legged arse to climb up in your bus, and now you've made the steps slightly taller again! Floor is looking great my friend, it's all coming together now!

[@akbychoice]

The cabinets, counters and flooring are looking very nice. Love how much light gets inside.

[@JaxAustin]

Thanks! I am enjoying the openness as well

[@marrenhanna7628]

We happened to have silicone. Thanks Ronnie!

Curious how this has held up over the past year! We're thinking about doing the exact same this week. Thanks! Looks great!

[@dianne11ca]

LOVE the floor! Ties in with the countertops beautifully and makes them pop.

[@StepvanDan]

Hello,very nice job on the floor,wow,hugs from MN thank you

[@Rad1oD3mon]

SO glad to see a new video up! I was just asking myself yesterday "where is Jax, what's he up to?". Flooring looks amazing! Best wishes from CA.

[@willhunt8331]

I did constrution and like what I see. The small space would have moved without silicone. The foam pad you did not put in makes tapping sound. This silicon will be solid. Remember if you flood floor with big puddles of water it will still buckle. Normal water is fine. Good job!

[@TheGalifrey]

Haha top cheeky scouser! Nice job he did on the floor!

[@grayeagleswolves]

Hi Jax I'm such a fan of your Build especially your beautiful floors great job

[@leroysouza5066]

Awesome video. Hope you get on the road soon. That bus is looking awesome. You’ll have more people honking and yelling when your on the road. You’ll be working that air horn.

Your bus is looking very cool. I want to build out buses for people and tiny homes etc for people

[@jaydongeiser2585]

What’s that decorative wood you guys used on the inside walls of the bus? Looks awesome

[@moosedrummer1]

Installed 20 years. And I promise that silicone is not going to do a thing. Should have left the pad and glued the joints. You just defeated the whole purpose of the floor. And second, he said since it’s waterproof you don’t need the pad? Ok. Well one you just cut the floor life in half removing the pad and second you just took away added insulation. There are several things I could mention but just no sense in it. I just can’t believe you nailed and fastened a floating floor. Hell should have just used engineered glue down. This was hard to watch.

[@drivingmylifeaway7149]

Hello, currently putting this style floor in my bus, it's Pro core vinyl plank. Have to get my floor a little bit level keeps popping a part. Then plan on screwing everything over top of it. Cabinets, bed, it etc The box says it does not require underlayment, has like a black etch x in the back of the tile...

[@moosedrummer1]

Midnight Chevy you don’t have to put the pad under it but it makes it a lot more comfortable to walk on, as well as added insulation and some noise dampening. A common misunderstanding people have about “waterproof” flooring is that it is fail proof as well. Well the actual product is waterproof, meaning it will not break down from water exposure or rot. But if it floods it will get water under the actual floor covering and it will be trapped under the floor and start to mildew. I suggest sealing the perimeter with a good silicone like Lexel. But I would NEVER fasten a floating floor. It will most likely buckle over time. It’s made to move, and expand and contract. If you’re going to fasten it the go with a direct glue down with a high moisture content glue. There are a lot of options out there.

[@moosedrummer1]

Midnight Chevy and yes if it isn’t level within tolerance it will buckle. It’s a pain. Only thing about screwing stuff on top of it is if you change the flooring it’s a pain to demo. Plus you waste material. But it makes it easier for someone that doesn’t do it for a living to not have to make net cuts to cabinets. Good luck man.

[@thatstonercouple6362]

This floor should be ok,

[@zchettaz]

Yep. As a floor layer, this is definitely hard to watch. No kneepads and no tape measure, I think his nickname should be "laser-eye". With a business name like that I hope he offers install warranty, cause with his concept of flooring, it's not going to last a "lifetime". I'd be surprised if expansion issues haven't already shown up.

[@c0pyimitati0n]

Why did you decide to install the flooring after everything else? Is it just because if you need to replace the flooring this makes it easier? I can't imagine will ever want to replace the flooring in my bus so I plan to install it first. That way there are less cuts.

[@gracefulcat68]

lots of good notes from this one.. lol... floor looks great!

[@ruthgonzalez8870]

What kind of material (what is the name of it) do you put under the vinyl piece? What is the type of silicone used to do this job?

[@lindamj9]

Awesomeness! Looks amazing! Well done!

[@Sewspcl]

Looking good! Love the floors!

[@Brockers83x]

Guy did an amazing job. i detect an liverpool accent on that chap and the company lifestyle flooring concepts LFC (Liverpool Football Club) I maybe wrong. Anyway nice job cant wait to see the bus finished

[@cheddar2848]

Beautiful floor awesome job!

[@patrickh8602]

A Scouser with the initials LFC for his company, no guessing if he's from the red or the blue side of Merseyside. Hi from the UK 😁

[@vigilantezack]

Is that regular 100% silicone like his you'd caulk a sink? It done kind of silicone glue? Curious, it's meant to allow movement, but then he nailed the edges.

[@walkerck]

Way to Tom Sawyer the heck out of your bus build, Jax!

[@cherbear1996]

Nice!!✌❤😊

[@richardcranium105]

Having installed flooring over the thin foam underlayment, I will agree that the way you did it will be much more pleasing to the ear. That stuff just causes the sound of footsteps to echo up back into the room. Using the silicone will transfer all that sound to the frame of the bus.

[@zowie740]

Jax your channel. What's your thoughts on small bus 170k miles dt466e motor. Is it a good motor?

[@JaxAustin]

I want that motor. Better than mine
