...that's a T-shirt. "Don't lick the wires"

[@clarkcraig4347]

Another good T-shirt could be " Life needs more napping "

[@peterunderdown4374]

I'll have one of each please.,have a good one.

[@tracywegers7694]

No need for a disclaimer. It's just natural selection

[@davidpawson7393]

So much better than the channels I used to watch that all do Lambos and crap like that now. This here is exactly my style.

unexpected low buck garage oscilloscope cameo

[@tda2806]

27 minutes 37 seconds of entertainment and information, well done and thank you!

[@apajohn2]

Enjoyed your tips and tricks but the electricity tasted funny and made my eyes flutter 😂

[@NileKelly]

Being a lover of restoring anything, I'd love to do something with that old A/C unit. Maybe put new guts in it or something. The appearance is what got me, that classic look of the thing. If not in an RV, I'd mod it to run in a room in the house. Cars, trucks, busses, vintage stoves, A/C units, soda machines, house fans, anything--it's my thing. I'd like to breathe new life into that old A/C unit.

[@JimNichols]

You and I must be brothers, same scars all over the hands, same save everything because there are screws that might prove useful someday in that. Same do I really need to tell you not to lick the energized wiring that is being tested? Same I can weld, wire, plumb, and carpenter most anything.... I just got tired, sold all my stuff and moved to Thailand and now I watch you do stuff I miss doing. Life is good to me thought and I love the vicarious life lived through good folks like you. The energy, the humor and the videography all are great! Love your channel man!

[@thqp]

The interior looks SO much better now!

[@n1r0l]

I could smell the difference.

[@kurtscustoms]

I love the placement of those Amazon chairs/couch. Two separate seats or easily turns into a bed. Smart thinking!!

[@98Kentuckian]

The Bob Ross of mechanics

[@scooty6520]

It's a good day when ol' Low Buck uploads a new video!

[@orlinchirinos1981]

😂

[@paulosborne6517]

Now, just add some mechanical linkages to the controls and you can drive from the comfort of the 'day-bed'... PS - Well done to Mrs Low-Buck, all that cleaning and decorating is a great improvement.

[@matthewb8229]

A Simpson 260!! The number of times I used one of those in my USAF ICBM maintainer career...loved that meter.

[@steveb9822]

I love the style of your videos and the work you are doing on this bus!

[@thorsbyguy5121]

You might want to do a little testing on that inverter if it's an older model. I lived off-grid in Northern Canada about 1990-1997. I had a 500 W Triplite inverter. It was reliable but very inefficient, and took about 60 W just to be turned on, so you had to be very vigilant to remember to shut it off when no longer needed. Trace and Heart Interface were the models I and my neighbors dreamed of, but they were a LOT of money and I don't think there were a lot more efficient at that time, at least compared to what's available now. I would check how much power that Trace draws just to be turned on, and also it's efficiency, i.e. power in vs. power out at different load levels. A new 2 kw inverter is really pretty cheap. Good series, fun bus!

[@andrewcoates3050]

The old tektronix oscilloscope, I love it I have a type 561b in my basement, I always appreciate when people use old equipment instead of wasting money on new equipment

[@sdavrider]

This channel is just my style. Glad I found you.

[@MRrwmac]

Excellent improvements! A couple pictures or small cabinets on the wall and some electric shades, WALA new motor home!! You wife did a great decorating job and yor daughter was a great helper! Thanks for sharing!

[@duncancremin1708]

I love it. If you ever forget how to use it, just take it apart… How true that actually is, for some folk!

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

The old bus is looking great but a great vehicle like that needs a name,I'd say ask the kids see what they want to name it and let us know .but that's up to just glad you shared this project with us

[@Vile-Flesh]

12:16 I am so upset over losing my Gerber multitool like that one last month. I had that tool for nearly 20 years and used it a lot for damn near everything. It was one of the last Christmas gifts I ever got back when things were normal and before family went crazy. I love these videos though. I wish I had someone like this in my life growing up. The closest thing I had to learning fixing and building things with was a neighbor who taught me a lot back when I lived at home with the folks. He passed last summer but watching these Low-Buck projects makes a lot of memories of learning from him over the years. He taught me a lot of things my father never taught me and he also gave me a practical outlook on life that I use to this day. Just a simple, solo life enjoying simple things and being content. I miss my God damned multitool.

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Awesome job with the interior upgrades James! 😁👍 I really like how the "bed" can be turned into two chairs or the lounge couch! Nice touch. Take care and happy wrenching 🔧🔩

[@dustcommander100]

That seat-bed thing you put together - it's the cat's pajamas! Very nice!

[@KingJamesIX]

"I don't bother measuring stuff like that.. brrrrrr.. Perfect." Just like this channel. Perfect.

[@danpags7023]

Coming along great! The lights are nice and bright. And yes that is the perfect place for a nap. I retreat to the RV when I need one. Awesome bus, just don't lick the wires. 🤣👍

[@2coolwheels139]

I got a chuckle out of that wiring, LOL! That is becoming one nice RV! Great job James!

[@pickle4034]

I love the end result.

[@hotpuppy1]

I like the new couches. There is also room underneath for some under bed plastic boxes to store stuff in. I think I would ditch the inverter and get a better one when finances permit.

[@billbrowse2553]

Great video, I always like the low cost repairs and renovations. Keep the videos coming.

[@3rdpig]

That's a huge improvement, I bet it's a lot more fun to work on now!

[@wesgraham9588]

👍 looking better

[@duncancremin1708]

Inductive loads don’t do well with square or modified sine wave power sources. That means anything with a motor or a transformer. So the fridge will work, but will consume more power than it should, on the inverter. The microwave might work, but if it does, it will operate at about 3/4 rated power, while consuming the usual current. Lights are mostly resistive or “passive” loads, so will usually work fine.

[@brandonscheetz5409]

I have been following this bus "saga" and I enjoy watching the transformation of it, you are doing a great job with it! It would be nice, just for S's and G's to see when your done a list of all the things you have done, real time spent working on it all and what all the parts and pieces cost for this rebuild. Keep up the great work!!

[@peterstringer3285]

Love watching Low Buck - can watch forever! What a communicator.

[@Turbo496Vette]

Love the Simpson 260 and the Tek scope. I have a few of those as well. Built like tanks.

[@wreckclues]

Thanks for the tip on the Loctite, ordered a case of the Big Gap filler and repaired the fenders on my 5-Ton, currently doing some structural work on the bed walls, it's an M813, although advertised as sand-able and paint-able I've found best practice is to skim coat after sanding as it takes a lot of paint to fill the pores...but most importantly it was fun.

[@darrenhawken9766]

Nice to see the bus coming along, think your Dad will be very proud, great teamwork thanks for sharing 👍💨💨

[@Vein1986]

Regarding square/sine, electronics usually handle square wave better than electric motors or transformers. First thing that is done in power supplies is rectifying voltage.

[@brendajanes4139]

You are very correct! I had one of these inverters before and found out that it likes resistive loads, anything inductive, it would burn them up. Especially transformers!

[@subzjc]

Thanks Mrs. Buck for helping 👍

[@jayjones6904]

Really enjoy you're videos cause 99.9 percent of the time unfortunately im low buck all the time since retiring lol

[@0MyWay01]

Goop is my go to adhesive for gluing microwaves to fridges. Great video

[@sokoloft3]

Thats an awesome old oscilloscope. Looked like a bit of HP equipment. I want one of their power supplies and volt meters sometime. Providing I continue fixing electronics.

[@sokoloft3]

Ah nvm looked up the model number. Tektronix. iirc I think a youtuber I watch has their soldering iron and a desolder gun from them.

[@bradwinter156]

Those seats are a great addition

[@BallBusta]

I like how the seats/bed came out. That camper really coming together.

[@sunilphalakdhari3869]

Don't lick this! So many ways to use that term.😂😂😂 Bus it amazing cool... Glad you restoring it....

[@jeepindave5464]

That couch was slick James.

[@IsaacGossard-ij9vw]

Running the generator while underway is very common. Me and my dad have a 39’ 1981 Newell with a 12kw Perkins gender and run it going down the road very often. As long as it cools properly while in motion and the exhaust is routed safely you should be great. Also having generator start/stop inside the coach is a big plus.

[@richardphelan8414]

Comedy with a skills what a hell of a combination

[@Kyle-ev4fk]

If you lick the wires one at a time you should be fine! The bus looks awesome, I am sure your family will enjoy it.

[@ohenrysservicesjeep233]

I like the sofa bed replacement and the leds

[@hgj2019]

Sofa bed is really nice. Be great to have a link to it.

[@kevinjackson7009]

Love your videos and your sense of humor. From the looks of things you look like you might live in my favorite place. Southern New Mexico

[@dirk4926]

It's been a lot of fun following along with the bus and it's really looking like a rig that will serve you well

[@williamwoolcock]

A true decorating genius.

[@georgeanglin4038]

Wow haven't seen an oscilloscope like that since my navy days. Cool

[@davidbeer]

Love your work. You've kept the momentum up and it really shows with a fantastic result in progress 😊

[@jerryb1234]

Try finding some old aluminum semi wheels for that rig, it would look so much better,😁👍, awesome project, thanks for sharing.

[@duckman2667]

I really enjoy your channel. Thank you for the great content!

[@DavidKellogg-z4o]

Awesome build. Gives me all kinds of ideas and because I am so cheap I like the idea of using repurposed items and doing things as cheap as possible. Have a great day.

[@raychambers3646]

I'm more of a no buck garage , but living in the uk we don't do bucks ! I like your attitude out of sight out of mind .

[@andrew5792]

I know it's personal taste, but the I think the cool white light of the LED's is much easier on the eyes that the yellow light you get from incandescent. Coupled with the re-painted ceiling the whole bus looks 'cleaner' and brighter. Coming along nicely!

[@static_bolt]

I have the exact opposite opinion, i had cold white LEDs in my bedroom for years and I had to switch them to warm because it started to drive me crazy and now I can't stand cold white even on offroad lights

[@craigbowley6783]

That thing is coming along nicely 👍

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

Hey low buck garage just a piece of advice for you to save money All your old faucets and spigots keep them if they have those big heavy gaskets theyre much better that whats being produced today what we have in modern faucets is some weird cup style gasket with a spring similiar to gaskets in hi pressure application like hydraulics but the the material the gasket is made (maybe neoprene) is thin and fails ive seen them be cut by rust in galvenized pipes and seen them turn to a mushy substance (not sure what causes that) also the use plastics in the valve is a common failure point Water faucets and spigots is one of a very few times in life where the old stuff is actually better stuff

[@Red1red1MC]

"Interesting. The instructions are inside of it, so if you ever forget how to use it, you just take it apart" 😂 This channel is so underrated! You're funny, and knowledgeable! Intro might be a tad bit long, but dude you are spot on 👌

[@waltereskridge5055]

Your editing and camera work are excellent.

[@gregdrmax]

Vents so you can see the roof better😂 You are my new hero!! I will be ordering a shirt from you Sir!! Plz keep on making the videos. I am advertising for you 😊

[@AeroDynamix747]

Its always a good day when a new video on this bus project comes out! Amazing job!

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

WOW.. You rocked that interior , I bet your wife needs more credit .. Mine did all the paint and cleaning in our rv , I did all the fixit work ! enjoyed

[@mattfranck7040]

Adhesives that catch on fire when they warm up... HAHAHA Gold!

[@ja-bv3lq]

Bus is looking GOOD!

[@TheOldaz1]

Turning into a nice rig.

[@sunfishensunfishen2271]

I am having fun with my projects, thankyou

[@scotth9881]

That turned out great. I keep seeing the black Craftsman toolbox in the videos, and it's the same one I have around, although mine is in a lot worse condition. I remember buying that a long time ago, and haven't seen another for years.

[@deepbludude4697]

Ive got one bought it when I was 17 in 1977 still hanging in there!

[@htownblue11]

Just used some Nilight products this week. Always having fun watching you have fun on the projects.

[@deepbludude4697]

Right on pulled out the O scope!

[@parlance.electricco]

So enjoyable. A gifted man.

[@mikeconner5119]

looking good from what you started with cant wait to see the finished product

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Glenn :) also all repairs doing work out super 100% on Kenworth bus and soon be ready go on trips with again to ! Light how fix up to and so nice restoration doing well too also!

[@thomasstipech4917]

Thanks for the nilight info . Ordering replacement clearance lights for my camper

[@unorthodoxridez]

This channel is awesome! So glad I found it.

[@raypowell2521]

Be advised that the peak voltage of a square wave of AC current is absolutely the voltage that you get to run AC equipment, no problem. So 120 volts with a square is 120 volts. Now for the Sine wave AC current- Notice that digital multimeters have a label with RMS for AC measuring. RMS stands for root-mean-square. For further insight on RMS checkout calculus in that regard; otherwise, with AC current we can use the square root of two (1.414) to figure what we need. So if you have a transformer with an output of 165 peak volts, measured with an oscilloscope, the RMS voltage for normal usage is 165/1.414= 116.69 . Now, if you are dealing with building a DC power supply and do not want any AC to DC ripple use caution when selecting the voltage output of the transformer because a capacitor will need to be used across the output terminals of the rectifier which provides for full peak voltage output of the transformer for your DC equipment. There will not be any RMS circumstances with this scenario. So back to the AC concept- if you have 120 VAC square wave for AC usage it is okay, as well as using 120 VAC RMS which has a peak voltage of 169.68. This means that every household wall plug has 169 peak volts. So peak is much higher than RMS voltage. These are the specifications of normal household AC at 60 hertz in the USA. The RMS voltage is the effective voltage as if it were smooth DC.

[@johndglynn]

Perfect! Coming along just great 👍🏻

[@rickjohnston9113]

What a change, It looks great

[@brianhayes7618]

Turning out real nice good job

[@francistheodorecatte]

the rubber valve bibs for the valve are pretty common in that size, and you can get bags of dozens for a couple of dollars. same for the graphite packing seals. north american plumbing fixtures like that largely haven't changed since the 1930's lmao.

[@alangordon3283]

Brilliant as always .it’s turning out to be a lovely looking machine.

[@plezurhounds]

I'm happy that you're happy:-)

[@Brokeandtwistedgarage]

Awesome job on the old motor home, that couch idea was genius ! Keep up the good work man, always glad to get an alert for a new low buck video! Cheers from Alberta man!

[@pickle4034]

After watching That b17 fold and crash so easily in Texas, seeing a same age vehicle with a little rust scares me but it looks like it's all 2003ish okay but I'm still curious if you will add like any extra internal frame in case of a accident. Youve done so much and it does look amazing but seeing some rust is a bit concerning lol would hate to see a accident. Is it mostly solid? It looks 75 percent strong. I love the bus just curious what you think.

[@justshakeyj8392]

would love to find a bus like that

[@beakittelscherz5419]

Awesome! What about some solar pannels on the Roof? They are super flat , so you may not even see them... And you can use the fridge all the time..

[@francoisbouchard602]

Good.job😄👍👍👏👏👏👏Nice. Bus 👍
