488 inn build pt 2 Skoolie Slide Out install and paint

[@COO415]

My apologies, I have to speak some French. This is effin insane, slides on a skoolie. I'm truly blown away 🥰👍

[@valerielove9837]

Wow!!! Never seen that before. Amazing how.much more room you have. It truly does not look like a bus inside or out. FANTASTIC job!!!!

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Thanks you

The slideouts are genius!!!! Thank you for posting.

[@arthursmith5409]

This build is the first school bus, repurpose I've seen and liked. They usually get cut up and put in produce fields! Great job Young Sir. I hope this brings you more enthusiasts needing help with their similar builds. Best wishes.

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Thank you

[@junglekutz5625]

I love how you thoroughly insulated the entire bus and sealed it well. Very thorough work! I didn't do research prior to building and insulating my bus. But the entire build has been a learning experience for me, as I did it on my own............as I was rushing to get part of the business open and running, so that I could make the money that I spent back.........as well as pay my bills! I sure do miss all the men I once knew that I could run to when concerning my vision and the direction I wanted to go with things. Although I did meet a few men with various crafts that were essential to me learning and knowing all that I need to know about my bus, I still wish I had those ole skool minds and the energy that came with our relationships. Love the way you insulted your bus, as well as the extended piece that you added! You made everything look so easy! I am so glad that I watched this!

[@pagepeach8852]

First skoolie I’ve ever seen with slide outs. Great ideas!

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Thanks for watching

[@thedrewberry]

@@diyalaskanlifestyle I’ve been thinking about this idea like crazy but never thought it would work great execution

[@offairhead]

There is a minivan with a slide out put in. It’s pretty cool what people can do.

[@billpar]

one of the best motor homes that is beautiful inside and out and has no hint of its origin well done

[@C.Church]

By the way, I was rolling over the idea in my mind about doing a slide out on a larger shuttle bus, not even knowing how you'd even make one. Aha, gutting an existing one, of course! Another video a guy welded steel beams and boy it all looked heavy. Yours looks properly fitted. But still too much work for my abilities and lack of facilities. But that looks really beautifully done.

[@shavaunaronan3188]

Wow, who would think to put a slide out in a Skoolie? Very cool, it sure makes the living space much larger. Great job, it looks amazing inside and out!

[@gormauslander]

Briefly thought of it, but no way do I have this man's determination to see it done

[@alfyr.e.meyerakaa.r.e.m.4434]

You say you are no engineer but I say you are an excellent example of a mechatronics engineer and your credentials are not in some institutional diploma but in your real world creation. I never finished high school but I've published two books and recieved praised from people more highly educated than I could achieve. And by my example, my three children all became highly successful in their fields. I tell you that because you and your wife are instilling into your son's an appreciation and knowledge of work skills, work ethic and genuine character building. Congratulations on being excellent parents. Bus is really nice as well!

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Thank you for these nice words, it’s important to us that our kids know how to work and use their imagination, also to know that anything is possible if you just stick with it and not give up on it

[@jholt03]

I love it!!! I've done a lot of construction in my day. Started as a framer. Did almost everything myself on my first personal home. GC'd over 1,000 homes from 98 to 08. Then went into architectural design. With retirement on the horizon, I really want to design/build my own off grid, tiny house/RV, sell the house and hit the road full time. A search for DIY slide outs brought up your vids, and I've been watching your stuff for the last several hours through a night of insomnia. Now I'm more stoked than ever to start working on my own totally unique design build. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

It was definetly a fun and satisfying project when complete and it all worked. A lot of people will think your crazy. When it’s done it will turn a lot of heads. Glad you like the videos

OK. I'm not even all the way through this. I have been SEARCHING for people who did slides because I wanted to do one in a conversion I am planing. YOU did a FANTASTIC JOB! I'm not even done and I just wanted to come say that! I'm a woman and this may sound strage, but YOU ABSOLUTELY NAILED THIS CONVERSION! Everything came together! I didn't know where you were going with the look, but WHEW...it is BEAUTIFUL! I love this build! It is exactly what I had in mind minus a few details. Your schoolie is one of the absolute best builds I have ever seen, which is saying A LOT given how many I have seen! Kudos to you & thanks for sharing! Love this! Pat yourself on the back! You deserve it! After watching until the end, I have ONE suggestion! Can you give us a few seconds of your build WITHOUT the popups for the other videos at the end? That is the ONLY negative. Great job!

[@greyscalesx]

Yes but I've been wondering if all of that they did is legal. I've seen so many ppl make decks that provide from the back or hangmechanisms or pull out modifications to their vehicles. And many of them got citations. In the end it could stay parked but unless all of it was removed it was forbidden to be on road, so it needed to be towed everywhere. You should absolutely check out the different regulations bc not being allowed to drive it or fines are not the only risks.

[@PreacherwithoutaPulpit]

Very nicely done and something to be proud of. Talk about a great platform for memory building not only from going out and enjoying it but from the build itself. Well done sir, extremely well done...

Beautiful rig indeed. We take ideas from vids like this. A schoolie is what we want next. RV life is freedom and wise to build a schoolie. Over built. RVS are weak and poorly made. Schoolies like this are made to last. Thanks for share. I'm sure we will use your ideas along the way. AWESOME 👍

Man I have to say this is by far the best one of these skoolie conversion buses that I have ever seen and IMO the best on YT. I am still blown away at the prices you paid for the bus and toy hauler. You built yourself $200,000 to $400,000 RV for less then you could of got a 1989 vw van with 2 flat tires and a blow up mattress with a hole in it and a weed Wacker for an engine here in California. An RV like that in California would seriously be closer to half million dollars if it's from the factory not so sure about custom built but this one should be worth that in my mind. You did and outstanding job on This RV it is gorgeous 1 of a kind and wow I just can't stop saying wow I'm at a loss for words and for a guy like me that literally never stops talking that says alot. No for real I talk ALOT! Alot alot but this thing is so cool I could talk about it all day long, I wish I seen it IRL. Nice man very nice!

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]
