Bus Walls Finished! How I Did It & Big Tent is UP!

[@BushRat253]

Does anyone know why the comments are turned off in the most recent videos?

[@johninwi3994]

I have no idea, but I'm guessing it's because he gets a lot of hate comments when promoting some products.

[@barb736]

Have u seen Going Dutch? He looks like Erics brother! Nice work...

[@peterlindstrom4907]

Eric. You are truly amazing ! You get so much done every day. I must say that I am very impressed how you pre plan all electric wires ac and dc and your planning on installing a water tank, sewer, interior etc. I really enjoy your channel. Thanks very much. Glad you are feeling better . Peter in Roswell, GA

[@rvwithbob]

Why would you put an electrical outlet next to a fuel fill location. At least it's diesel. The inside is looking good!

[@jamesfrommanitoba.1992]

As a very experienced driver I thing you should think twice about blocking that first passenger side window. You had enough blind spots before you blocked 1/2 the window.

[@DetGodeCamperliv]

Hi Eric - one of my cats had the same problem with vomiting. He was dewormed and recovered.

[@christurner2045]

Poor wayne.. I hope you are paying him very good!

no wonder you comments are turnned off, dude if been watching u since your first class c , now its just a commercial. so after you ban me, im out have a good life.

[@orangeziggy348]

Check OPie at the vet. if he's not eating much.

[@jeffchancey4273]

What if you have an arc at the electrical outlet near the diesel tank intake? Seems dangerous..

[@keithwebster7118]

@jeffchancey4273 it takes a lot for diesel to burn. It's fumes will not light up and it needs to be compressed to really do anything. You can throw a lit match in a cup of diesel and it would not burn.

[@danukepaintball]

@jeffchancey4273 The GFCI trips first, it's what they're made for. And if that doesn't trip. The breaker in the panel will trip. Both will remove power instantly. There's no real danger. Diesel won't ignite from the little spark a 120v AC short would make anyways. But there are two things keeping it all safe in case of a short.

[@jeffchancey4273]

@danukepaintball i disagree with you on that idea.

Just like people food, they're probably using lower quality ingredients and maybe different ingredients to cut costs in your cat's food. I'd still take him to the vet.

Our cat developed a allergy to corn and corn by products around 4 years old. We had to change to none grain kibble and wet .

[@Darthvaderisrad]

Eric I am not the brightest bulb in the room, but was looking at the water tank there and if i remember water tanks sweat once full of water and the temps change a little, thought you would have laid down a moisture barrier between the tank and floor? or am i wrong?

[@maryellencook9528]

Eric, I know this is further down the build, but consider making cafe curtains on the open windows. Use sailcloth or pinstripe materials for your nautical theme.

[@thejourney1369]

Opie needs to see a vet. My cat did this and she had cancer. It’s nothing to fool around with.

[@keithwebster7118]

Eric....just a friendly FYI.... I imagine you have done your research on mini splits but i just wanted to give you a heads up with some of the really cheap ones. Some are having issues with the pre insulated lines leaking later from the insulation causing them to corrode abnormally.

[@pamkaufman3662]

The walls look great!! Hope Opie is feeling better soon. ❤

[@louparry7721]

Hi Eric, happy to see that you are back to normal.The bus looks great. Kitties really have grown. I'd love to know the story on the new kitties spots. I've only ever seen spots like that on a Bobcat. It has been said that Bobcats have mated with feral cats and they call them pixie bobs. They are sometimes born with short tails like the Bobcat has. See you next time, your friend, Louise

[@RedgieKeller]

Hello Eric, glad you’re feeling better! Great work on the bus , and loving the weather down there, you guys are lucky! Would like to come to the big tent show , I’m sure one has to plan ahead for that . Thanks for sharing.

Hey Eric, I’m down the road from you in LaPosa South. I realize you are in a tight schedule for the schoolie event thought you could use some volunteer help. Renovated our ambulance so know a thing or two and have my own tools

[@michaelfishkin4332]

The bike looks killer w/ that sissy bar.

[@mtsonic]

I know you already have a heater installed but do you know about the Truma and Alde systems for heating the bus and the hot water. In NuCamp's 2025 360 model, they also were able to control the air conditioner with the same controller for the water heater and air heat. I have a Webasto Gasoline parking heater that is currently not working because I did not use it enough. I like the reliability of propane. But I think they also make diesel powered unites. Glad you are feeling better and can enjoy you process of building your bus.

[@enjoylife7030]

Honestly I think the project is coming along great. You also seem to be moving much faster on it then I imagined. Explaining someone's vision for a build is nothing like seeing it come together. On to new adventures and "Don't forget to drink your Ovaltine!"

Maybe run 1/2' pvc conduit behind (' plywood if you have room full length if there is room for future electric run needs.

[@michaelwelch5392]

If not conduit, leave pull strings.

[@preluded]

Are you driving it around a bit as you build to check for vibration and squeaks? I know it might take a bit of time to get to a flat road but it would be worth it to take the time to so this early as possible to see you need to add some mass vinyl or hdpe shims or spacers.

[@mtsonic]

Put a pouch on the back of the cornhole board to hold a rock so the board does not bounce around.

[@ifounditandyoudidnothosttr9224]

Eric , the drain line looks small, you will need a vent to open on top of it ,if your gonna drain anything with it .. heads up...

[@see1450]

So you put a receptacle right next to the opening for the fuel tank? I'm sure sparks and fumes have never caused any problems

[@bretttaillon6726]

Have you ever thrown a match in a bucket of diesel?

[@see1450]

@bretttaillon6726 diesel fumes can ignite with a spark, especially in a confined space where the concentration of fumes is high enough, although diesel has a higher ignition point than gasoline and requires a significant spark or heat source to ignite; this is why diesel engines use compression ignition instead of spark plugs to ignite the fuel.

[@roaminghut894]

Our Atwood water heater kept not working and the Coachman Service manager told me about the heat diode of the Atwood acts like a circuit breaker and to “buy a pack of them “ low and behold that fixed it!

I have a 7 year old cat and a 6 month old kitty. I forgot what it is like to have a kitten running around. I have a toddler in my house! Love seeing the progression of the bus.

[@darrells1806]

Suggestion, I would cover your tires especially while parked out in the desert. The UV rays from the sun will accelerate the dry rotting and destroy the side walls, therefore needing to replace your tires prematurely. I would replace the steer tires at a 5-year interval and the drive tires at a 7 year interval, regardless of tread condition.

[@SAP64]

Bus build is looking good Eric. I know you have a dislike for decorations, but incorporating some into your diet would probably help with not getting so sick. Take care of yourself. ❤😀💊🌡️

[@jublywubly]

8:22 Does the dry food contain carbohydrates? Most dry food has carbohydrates in it. A couple of vets told me cats can't digest carbohydrates, like we can. Cats are carnivorous. I was put onto a special type of dry food that doesn't contain carbohydrates. I'm not sure of the brand, though. (I'm also in Australia.)
