Great video and very nice work. Love what you did with it (the build and the bus!) I'm curious what the final price tag came too (approximately) as I'd love to see the delta between that and just purchasing a class A motorhome.

[@pagielicious]

The opening music is mesmerizing. Especially the part with the foreign language. Could you pls enlighten me on the first song? Whats the name of the singer and song title? Its lovely.

[@jameswulzen590]

since Hawaii won't allow any of these I'll have to go to a smaller rig like a 14 passenger Shuttle van with a wheelchair lift so I can get around. I have a home that I no longer can take care of because I had three strokes in 2018 and only lost my legs and can't walk. Could have been worst but I'll survive. Like the way you built and I've been watching many people build these great rigs. I'm going to settle for a 23 foot shuttle airport van and build a unit I can handle by myself, room for my tools and a van for my magazine, Hawaii Motorsport News, a monthly. I can get to events around the Big Island to get info for the rag. I've been here in Hawaii for over 50 years so i know many people that will help me out.

[@jessemongia9730]

Great build ,but how will you keep rain water from outside getting past the outside rubber around the windows and gravity taking water in between walls and outside metal shell developing rust on inside of shell ? Jus sayin.

Do You Raise Bus Roofs? Where Are You Located?

[@MobileDwellings]

I'm in Charleston SC and I don't raise bus roofs. Dark Wolf artisans in Kansas do a top notch job, as does Chuck Cassady who is going mobile hopefully this summer, and skoolie.com in Hendersonville NC hopefully still does roof raises. If you're near me I will happily do off grid solar and plumbing installations and I do Skoolie Consulting and that's about it for the moment! You can reach me best at [e-mail] Thanks for asking!

[@isiahsmith4646]

I can’t wait to start building my bus. Still in the process of finding the right one. Is a 40 foot,high top, under storage, rear or front engine too much to ask for😭😭. Side note I’ve watch every one of your videos 😅. Would it be possible to speak with you regarding the electrical and solar part of my build?

[@isiahsmith4646]

Just finished watching the video and you answered my question about the support. I’ll definitely check it out💪🏾

[@MobileDwellings]

No that's not too much to ask for at all. You'll find it! I'd just be willing to look throughout the whole country if I were you in order to find it faster.

[@MobileDwellings]

Yeah I think you should join! At the moment before we fill up with members you could literally have a 1 hour consultation with me every single week for $25 a month. If you want that kind of help though and don't want to sign up I do 1 on 1 consultations and you can email me at [e-mail] if you're interested. Thanks!

[@isiahsmith4646]

@@MobileDwellings yea man I figured that too. Which I don’t mind. I drive semi trucks for Amazon but when I was in training in 2017 I drove in all 48 states but I did it with my trainer for 2 months then for the next 7-9 months I went all over but I was by myself. So I’ve been home doing local since 2018 but I want me family to see all of what I saw so I don’t have a problem getting a flight and driving it back plus my older brother drives too so I’ll for sure get him to come🤣😂. And I’m going to save your email. I’ll get my bus I hope within the next few months. I appreciate the time man and the videos. Thanks man💪🏾 I will for sure sign up!

[@MobileDwellings]

@@isiahsmith4646 You sound like you're totally set to begin this adventure! Having experience driving will give you a great deal of confidence that I wish I had when I started! Turns out it's relatively easy to drive, and borderline fun, you just need to get really experienced and comfortable with your rig which you will be off the bat.

[@mIkeyGermita]

Going through the comments with the exact same question.

[@mirjavidmirzayev5854]

I think they made it with 2k because all the work is the money. Sorry but this videos are total shit. Because you need money to sit there and make this shit. If you don‘t work you usually don‘t earn money. This is just a next level shit for poeple who have some millions to spend to work all day on such a project and then to predict they did it all on spare time. I would say it is total bullshit. But the most of the simps will totaly get a hard on while watching this and thinking how he did this all in just a glimpse and getting a baby and having other kids and caring for his family. Just normal days when you have 96 hours per day and timelapse to say to all viewers you are total losers when you can‘t do this on your own. And the music is total shit.

[@ncdave4life]

So do those type of windows have screens my handy bus had the ones that slide down I left Calgary Alberta Canada and headed to Welland Ontario by our first night in Maple Creek Saskatchewan we knew we had a problem with the windows open we filled up with flies and mosquitoes close the windows and the heat was unbearable and unsafe as it was hard to see because of the sweat dripping down into my eye's so I went to the farm store and bought a caulking gun and 3 tubes of silicone bathtub caulk and 2 patio door replacement screens put a thick bead of caulking around the window and put the screens into the caulking kept the windows open and no more flies or mosquitoes by adjusting which windows were open at night gave a good cross breeze by only doing the front and back windows on each side it left the rest still operational for putting stuff in or out of since the bus ran on propane I could put my cheater tank on my bed run the hose out the window and down to the fill valve that way I could hook up the cheater tank hook up open the valve on the cheater tank and drive to the propane filling station so far all the propane vehicles I have owned had no fuel gauge and you can't rely on the app for where to buy auto propane and you can't trust the places that are listed to tell the truth about what they sell since I know how for I could get on good auto propane and on bad I calculated my trip on the bad so I could fill up without running out and having to attach the cheater tank our first stop for fuel in Alberta was okay filled up headed for our first stop in Saskatchewan on the Transcanada highway they had assured me they sold auto propane by the litre but when I got there they said all they had was exchange a tank and I know all they hold is about 25 litre of propane at 45 dollars a tank that would be very expensive as I'd need at least 6 tank's which would have to be carried in the vehicle not very safe so I found out that by headed down to Maple Creek I could get filled up at the UFA farm store ran out of fuel and had to coast to the pump but it added extra mileage to the trip found out that all the fuel stations in Saskatchewan and Manitoba that I had phoned and confirmed had all lied to me figured I'd accept the bait and switch but with a liquid propane fuel tank it's too expensive to use 20 pound bottles to drive on interesting that the ones had to find when I found the ones that the app had listed didn't have auto propane never let me down but I did use the cheater tank a lot to get to them and Ontario was even worse and harder to find heading home from Ontario was was a nightmare it was the labor day weekend and I had to find new stations for fuel as the one's that I had previously filled at had no attendants on that were licensed to dispense propane got to Timmons and only one station sold auto propane and no attendant to run the pump so off to white fish lake over a hundred miles away a full tank of fuel and I was almost out thankfully we had AMA for a tow as I got about 30 miles from Timmons before I ran out of fuel and had to have AMA haul it the rest of the way my new motor home has liquid filled propane tank to run the stove hot water tank and the heater so when head east again I'm going to add an extra tank and take a 20 pd bottle of propane and a cheater hose to hook it up to my tank from all the RV videos I've watched it looks like they don't sell auto propane or fill liquid propane tanks as all the one's I've seen use a bottle and a catalytic heater or a diesel heater
