[@almirbartolomeusobrinho6118]

Amazing project, I am wondering how much was spent?

[@fatimaraad7513]

Why

[@matlhound65]

I'm genuinely curious about two things: The added weight of the drywall and tile in comparison to other materials more commonly used in RV builds - usually people avoid these due to the weight cost - and the durability of these materials after putting some miles on the vehicle. Flex and vibration are notorious enemies of tile and drywall, as well as doors and windows made for homes instead of RVs. I genuinely wish you well on this, but if the experience of other schoolie builders means anything, you may be presented with some unforseen challenges.

[@davidcameron2366]

I hope he drove it over some certified scales with all the tanks fully loaded! Ya know, to make sure the tires are within their limits and such, gotta be safe! I'm sure the gvwr will be sufficient, but sometimes weight has to be shifted around or tires upgraded to higher load ratings, etc.

[@aliciabrooks4094]

I totally agree ! 👍

[@austincarpenter5637]

Absolutely! Been living in lorry's for 15 years+ there is a lot of flex and movement, also after a couple of showers and washing up that small water tank will need filling, especially if like they said there both going to be showering every day !

Just like many others who commented, I'm happy for you.

Good luck, out there! 🥰🙏

[@tomahawk8754]

My thoughts exactly. 800ah is quite a bit, but only relying on DC to DC charging with the amount of things he has in it, he'll find out real quick it isn't enough. He has a ton of real estate for solar panels, and should've added a port for shore power.

[@matthewjohnston1017]

Looks absolutely sick and best ending ever to a video. My two concerns (1) obviously the weight added in terms of safety. Like that thing weighs at least 5x its designed weight and how the bus frame can hold, (2) is that you installed four large batteries right below where you sleep. Hopefully nothing ever goes wrong, but it’s literally like sleeping around gas cans. If something goes wrong and battery fire starts. It burn hot and fast quick.

[@sophiapriest]

Omg I was thinking the same thing with the batteries and also was surprised they didn't use solar (I was like "well where is the solar panel gonna go?" and they never put one) .... I'm already scared of using a powerbank in bed for my phone, and they are p much sleeping (mattress and blankets and all) on massive fire hazards like it's nothing.

[@j_rainsgoat3929]

He needs to encapsulate battery compartment and vent it outside.

[@AutisticOrgy11]

the weight shouldn't be an issue. school buses can handle a lot more weight than you think. i'd give it a solid 20k lbs in cargo weight. the batteries, yes, don't know why he put them under his bed, should've been on the other side near nothing else very valuable.

[@MrJoshuaAwesome]

Yeah, I thought about that for a moment but then I realized that school buses are designed to have 50 to 60 kids. That's easily 6,000 or more pounds. Plus the weight of the chairs that they removed. I'm guessing that it's semi similar. Also they removed a lot more glass. I think they're probably okay but I was very curious on the weight before and after.

[@rf3811]

I thought the exact same thing. Plus, to be sleeping on top of all of the EMF can't be good for their bodies.

[@johndavis318]

Very nice job. I was a truck and bus mechanic for 45 years, and I was very impressed with your creativity and work. If you don't mind me asking a few questions. 1. What was your GVWR when completed? 2. With the flex of the vehicle, are you concerned with your tile cracking? Did you do anything special to prevent it? 3. Like cabinets and drawers, did you install special catches to prevent them from opening when driving? 4. Were the items you used like electrical, etc. meet FMVSS? 5. While I liked your roof raise, I think I would have put some structure bracing so your panels did not have some of the ripples, but that was just me. I give you 95% on overall job young man. I would be interested in knowing after you have driven it for a while if you have had any structural flexing that has caused you any issues? I worked building Ambulances years ago and when we cut the tops out of the Ford van to put the fiberglass raised roof we had to do some actual supporting to compensate for flexing and when we relocated the seat belt mounts when we put the header wall in we had to do so special testing to mount seat belts. Of 😢 were considered a manufacturer and in order to get Ford to sign off we had to meet certain criteria. We were using Ford chassis that were designed by Ford to be converted into ambulances. One last thing I'll share with you. We ran Leece Naville alternators. 200 Amp systems, and we would take the diodes out of the case and use Delco diode rectifiers out of 100 Amp altinaters, wired in parallel and remotely, mounted them in the grill for cooling. This would give us great cooling and a bullet-proof charging system even at idle. That is only an option should you have a problem keeping those batteries charged up for your electrical system. I would be glad to give you more in-depth info if you DM provided you need it. Overall, I think you did a great job, young man, and what an awesome project for you and your dad and friends to do. All the best wishes to you, and congratulations on the engagement. May you have many years together. Have a blessed day.

[@droogiesouls8635]

I was thinking the flex will completely shatter the structure

[@johndavis318]

@droogiesouls8635 I am more concerned about an accident and what may happen. Having been involved in the manufacture of ambulances, trailers, and other things, one of the most discussed with engineers and corporate litagaters was liability. So of the testing we had to go thru was extensive. Not to be a Debbie downer. I am concerned about some things. I wonder if the company who insured it had any concerns. Wiring, burn rates, crinkle points, etc. However, the creativity was great, and the overall quality of work was nice, and the commentary between friends and family was priceless.

[@humble_frog]

hey john, this bus build was done mostly for video purposes - they aren't actually going to live in this full time by any means. hope this helps

Your generation has carved out a notch, and your creativity is awesome. I wish I understood more about it, but for me, it's a lot of fun watching young individuals like yourself expressing ideas and ingenuity. I am by no means being critical. My expertise revolved around safety, liability and trying to identify anything that might be hazardous. Thank you for the feed back, keep up your creativity. Sincerely

[@PLr1c3r]

@@johndavis318 These are all very valid concerns John. If you look when the leave the house the added panels have all distorted from their original install and any coach master would physically cringe watching the making of and point out the 1000 errors made in building it. All of the money used to build it would have been better suited to be spent at a coach builders built to regulatory spec with the proper procedure and materials 100p. This is a pimp my ride of campers and I imagine Tavarish will buy it in a few years to rebuild it to proper spec for content farming.

[@RaceBanner_]

I'm a helicopter flight nurse & firefighter paramedic with one of the busiest shock trauma units in the US, my top highway horror stories involve builds like these. There is a REASON big RV's cost a lot, they are safe. You have ZERO steel frame reinforcements. Residential grade doors, windows and 2x4's are *_not designed_* to handle the torsion & G forces of a crash. You have ZERO fire protection - not even a fire alarm - and your sulphuric acid ‘battery bed’ & couch are a flammable nightmare. Anyone "just chillin" on the couch or the bed is just another 150lb+ projectile waiting to be ejected. And look, it's not necessarily you or your driving, it's everyone else trying to get around you. Find a plot of land, park it, and live in it until you can build back better. I'm shocked you got this licensed.

[@hsko8007]

Yep. I was terrified thorough the whole build. Sleeping on 4 200AMP batteries is just as crazy. He may have got it licensed but he sure as hell won't get insurance on it. RVs are already a huge risk, but something like this is straight up a death trap

[@jacquiemayes5585]

I agree with you. Did you see what she was sitting on in front of the bus while he was driving. It looked like a swing. No proper seat for the passage and proper seat belts. Also Sharpe corner on the counter ouch! Am sure after you live in it for a while, you will be making changes. I enjoyed the video good luck.

[@-JustHuman-]

@@hsko8007 Yeah, the doors, the lack of safety put into making sure appliances don't move around and the battery placement is a nightmare. Also not sure about the steel frame, as the welded it onto a old one that isn't rated to hold that roof at all. You needed it on the inside going from the frame to the top instead, as now it's hold up on the outside onto the old pilars that are then connected to the base frame, that seems unsafe.

[@SpaceOperaEnjoyer]

I'm just at the tank installation part and it's all done with wood framing ... Like, the underside load bearing beams are made of wood. What about moisture, rain, puddle splashes, etc. Am I missing something? When it all rots, the tanks will fall out ... Even if it's treated wood, if this thing is driven, it's all going to decay? What about the weight distribution? Washer, dryer, fridge, tiles in the shower ... All on one side of the bus, making it easier to flip every time it makes a tight turn. Am I missing something here too?
