[@johanvonshitzengiggles9046]

I’m really loving your bus Can’t wait to do one of my own

[@thegraeescape3285]

It’s a huge project, but fun, and will be very rewarding someday. Good luck on your future build!

Oh my goodness I live in Gainesville and I've been dealing with the same thing. It seems every time I want to go out work on the bus to start pouring and I can't drive in the rain.

[@thegraeescape3285]

Florida is a beast in the summer. It rains every afternoon like clockwork!

[@r8edrv4fun65]

Nice job!! Come fix mine please 😊

You did a great job! I’m scared to see whether or not I’ve got a leak in my bus. 😣 Just waiting on it to warm up a bit before I start working again.

[@thegraeescape3285]

Leaks can be scary, but they aren’t hard to fix, so that’s the good news. You can spray down the bus with a hose or wait for rain to stand inside and look for leaks. I used to go out anytime there was a torrential downpour and just search for leaks. Sealing the roof took care of 99.5% of water getting in. The windows and doors are also worth looking at. I had to seal a window the next week when I found another drip. But I think we are good now!

@@thegraeescape3285 that is another great tip that we have done! It is scary but you’ve encouraged me.

Where did you find those lights? I am converting my bus now and Im having trouble finding cosmetic parts.

[@thegraeescape3285]

I found them on Amazon. They are called “clearance lights”. Sorry for the terribly late response, I hope you had figured it out already, but I wanted to respond in case someone else has the same question. Cheers!

New sub here! I’m about to do this on my shuttle bus. Thanks for the tips! I live in Florida too. What part are you in?

Hi there!!! Love this video.. i am wondering if you would be willing to help me reseal my e450 shuttle bus... im a bit far from home, in the cold. I know i need to get to somewhere wsrm... and im hoping to find someone with some experience with this. Mechanical tasks are a scary thing for me and im doing my best to get over that. I know this is probably a long shot but... yeah. Thank you for anywhere you can point me. Cheers
