I like the way you did the couch. The whole "everything has to turn into a bed" mentality comes from RVs where families are stuffing a bunch of people into a tiny space for a short period of time. Most people who buy a bus are planning on living in it. Great job.

[@isaacturnerit]

Ha ha truth!

[@ms.caireenlounsbury8538]

I have one word “grandkids” this may not be pertinent to young buslifers, but it is a definite factor for the empty nest crowd. The kids always love a Grammy adventure.

Brewster is a peaceful dude. From the mint chocolate paint color to the light and airy inside decor, it just seems like a nice place to chill and enjoy the adventure. Great job Isaac! peace

I always say the same thing about it feeling like a bus. I left so many original components in mine because I wanted to keep that nostalgic bus vibe. I also love the fridge location, very clever!

One Hundo! And thank you!

I love it toooo

[@meelusine]

Wow ! Just one word : Bravo ! I particularly appreciate your sens of simplicity and practicality. You know by experience what people will use or will give up using in their bus for lack of practicality or lack of comfort. And, "cerise sur le gâteau" you don't mess with quality when it comes to painting, sealing, insulate, etc. you always use the best specific material, like this navy sealing stuff. Your bus is more than dried in ! Not a chance of a leak around windows like it often happens when you mess with real quality. I have followed the whole process and I like your independence of mind, you are not afraid to say that you do something different from others even if it doesn't look "trendy" and your explanations for doing it that way rather than another way are always so logical, convincing and easy to understand. Very serious built and practical little house on wheels !

[@isaacturnerit]

Wow wonderful comment thank you. I have learned a lot of people just do things cause other people did. I question everything and always look for a better way. Sometime what everyone else does is the best. But I think as humans we should always think

[@meelusine]

@@isaacturnerit Exactly ! And, on top of that what people are told to do and do because everybody else does, wasn't always put out or design for good reasons, or in the best interest of people !!!. So, you can also call it honesty ! Year man ! We have a mind it's high time we start using it and regain our independence of mind. What is this disease that everybody wants to conform with a preset model ?!? (Hope you see what I mean and sorry for my strange language I am not a born English speaker) !

[@isaacturnerit]

@@meelusine amen

[@vanessahenry7238]

I love the fact you brought the fridge up like a counter, and the fact it is by the bed - hell keep your bottle of water cool in there. I didn't want my fridge low because I didn't want to keep bending over! This is great and over the wheel well! This is an amazing build!!!

[@jahnkecy]

I think this is your best build yet! Very neat precision workmanship! Should sell very quickly!

[@isaacturnerit]

Oh I agree! I love this bus

[@lifehunter6426]

I really like the way you did the shower!!!!!

[@isaacturnerit]

Thanks

[@freedomdove]

Nice, Isaac! I think I'd use that area under the fridge and drawer for shoe storage. 👍 I like the cedar roof. It may not be as bright as the white ceiling but it looks like a cozy cabin in there. 🤗

Thanks yo always wanted to try a cedar ceiling

Love the fridge at counter height! As someone with some back issues, I am planning to have my fridge that height but was thinking of containing it in a shelf for the look of it.

My husband put my fridge up high and built a toilet/foot stool underneath that slides in and out easy. I like my fridge up higher it’s way easier to get things out. My toilet is made with a milk crate and 2x4’s.

Wow, Isaac! Bruster/Brewster came out great! I don't blame you that you'll use the same layout for all your 4 or 5 window builds for a while. It's perfect. You did a great job narrating the tour also. Good job! The confusion re Bruster vs Brewster comes from an ice cream shop we have here in the southeastern US called Bruster's. Guess that's what I'll always think of when I hear the name.

[@isaacturnerit]

[@isaacturnerit]

Hmm maybe but that’s the owners job to make it their own

[@DeborahLong7777]

@@isaacturnerit yes I understand. A table cloth is ok and would not hurt the function? It is pretty

[@kst357]

I liked the idea of where you located the water pump switch. I think I'll do that too except that I'd also run an additional switch to the bathroom/toilet area. What I didn't like was the placement of the diesel heater muffler. I like to install my mufflers flat or parallel to the ground & pitched downward so that water won't collect inside of them. I would have tried to route the exhaust pipe to the wheel well or some other less visible spot. At the least, you can cut the exhaust pipe or buy an extension and put the muffler inline but under the chassis & then just have the other end of the 1" pipe bracketed to the edge of the vehicle. That way the muffler is out of sight & less of an eyesore.

[@isaacturnerit]

Are you saying exhaust under the body? I’m not sure I am following

[@kst357]

@@isaacturnerit Yes, I run the exhaust tubing under the body or along a side rail of the chassis. I attach the tubing to the chassis frame using electrical conduit brackets and some self-taping screws.

[@isaacturnerit]

@@kst357 yo I had a friend do that and he got sick from the exhaust fumes

[@kst357]

@@isaacturnerit That's the inherent danger of diesel heaters & why we mount the end of the exhaust pipe so that it's by the outside edge of the vehicle & pointed away from the undercarriage. Normally a breeze will keep the fumes from accumulating under the body & leaking into the cabin but we can't always predict the weather or wind direction. Any time a heater or propane stove is installed you should also install a carbon monoxide detector to be safe. Sometimes in extreme conditions people will run their vehicle A/C and the engine's exhaust can also be a danger, so your friend should look into sealing the undercarriage better to keep the fumes out. Plus mice & insects can find their way into the vehicle if it isn't sealed properly. Diesel heaters, propane furnaces, refrigerators, water heaters, propane stoves, etc, are all dangerous to use so carbon monoxide & low-oxygen detectors are a must-have if your system has any of those components.
