Tour This ROUGHED IN SKOOLIE CONVERSION

[@lorraineeagle4009]

I love how you run your shop and how wonderful you and your crew did Regretlyss's beautiful bus

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thank you so much!

[@angielindsey7390]

Glad you started your own channel!! Great job on Alyssa’s bus! Look forward to the videos!!🦋

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thank you Angie! I hope you enjoy it here

[@jnjentinc]

It’s sooo nice to see your knowledge getting shared and that you stress it !! Fuses and breakers !!! Man, i sure hope some day we get to work together on a project.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

It's gonna happen my friend! Inevitable

[@RimdarRanch]

LOVED this build, right up to where I see all the Electronics right next to 200 Gallons of water.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thank you! They're on an elevated platform about 10" above the tank so i feel great about it. Those tanks would have to explode to get water up there

[@wiredforstereo]

The key is to keep the water in the tank.

[@scottshirer9396]

Appreciate all your knowledge and how clearly you explain things. Looking to buy my own busy and start converting. Looking forward to seeing the sequence of your builds and getting more tips and tricks.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

thanks for watching!

[@benr1452]

Such quality work, always! .. Love that everyone can match a Skoolie to their needs, the customizations are what make this all so cool! It's a canvas, and man; you're an artist! ❤

[@nancysc]

You definitely know what you’re doing and the owners are getting a quality job. Hopefully their work in finishing the bus will live up to what you’ve given them to work with. Enjoyed this video very much. 😀

[@mariahvigil9850]

You are so talented, Charlie!

[@michaelirizarry5037]

quality and safety is really priceless.that bus looks awesome i hope when they finish it we get to see it.

[@rexmobley2760]

Way to go Chuck !!!

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Appreciate you tuning in!

[@DavetheUberSlave]

Seen you around you give great advice keep posting your channels gonna blow up people need your knowledge

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thanks brother, appreciate the kindness

[@davevan2252]

Thank You for helping us learn from your great experience and kindness.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thanks Dave!

[@rossallen738]

What was that waterproof board you used in the shower? We need to waterproof our shower soon and if that is easier than red guarding the plywood that we have, and then covering the red guard/plywood with a vinyl or something, then we may go with that. Having the type of board spelled out will make it easier to find at home Depot.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

It is wedi board, if your shower is already plywood, I'd use their 1/8" thick product

[@davidhillman3410]

I’ve watched a lot of schoolie videos and you are by far the most knowledgeable person I’ve seen yet! Excellent work!!!

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thank you david!

[@lauriegladden6887]

I would have to agree with the way you build so many safeguards into the builds you do. Wow you blew me away with what the finished price would be and what this partial build cost. How much does the average short 5 window schoolie that you build cost finished? I'm also sorry to hear that you're closing shop but I don't even know where that is or was...lol

[@olbird7647]

I didn't really understand half of what you said but it felt like it all made sense as you were saying it......if you know what I mean?!? 🤔🙄🤷‍♀️ Really enjoyed watching your talented team and your soap-boxing on Regretlyss and am looking forward to following your new adventures 👍😊🇬🇧

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

I know that feeling :) thanks for tuning in!

[@GeorgeStar]

Some of the best info on bus conversion on youtube.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

thank you so much!

[@karylm23]

This Is really, really clean work. The planning of space is down to the millimeter The test of a good shop is being able to have the roughins look as clean as yours... this bus will stand the test of time

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thank you so much

[@islandwitt1]

Just came over from Regretless site. What you did for Lyss is amazing. Gladly following along. I’m mucking through my build, alone, so will be watching closely. 👍🏻❤️

[@BuckJones1909]

So much information, which is wonderful, but I’m going to have to rewatch several times! Thank you!

[@HopeLivesHere721]

Congratulations Charlie on your own utube channel. Thanks for all the great info. I appreciate you giving the brand names of items you use. I'm in the process of buying and installing solar panels on my 24 ft Class C and I'll check out those Big Battery lithium barreries. You're a wealth of knowledge. You and your crew did a great job on the bus conversion for Alyss. Looking forward to all your future videos.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thank you that is so kind! Big Battery is great, also SOK and Signature Solar sell great batteries as well!

[@jeffreyclark3135]

Hope you have fun what ever your doing on the road .

[@MatthewRobertHenry]

Such a great walk through Charlie! I'm really glad I left access to the fuel tank door, it appeared to me that it made servicing the pump and sender possible without dropping the tank. I wish I'd seen this before I ran the subfloor, I didnt think to run diesel heater lines like that 🤦🏼‍♂️. Such a good idea. Maybe I can tap into the top from under the bus. I'd guess that's a million times more efficient than using the minisplit for heat

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

you can likely still get your dip tube into the tank if you left access to the sender !

[@perevalenti391]

Good, you are a great serious professional and you explain things very well, thank you and a lot of strength

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

You must have read the back of my shirt :)

[@PavedToPines]

Always love watching and seeing your content! Super super knowledgable. Thanks for sharing

[@drgranger2]

Man you build some beautiful stuff. My first bus was in 1976, we bombed around the country on the bicentennial year with my wife and I, another couple, a friend, a basst hound and a doberman. We also had a 750 Norton. Had a ball. Also built another bus in 1999, 40' with a 3126 cat. Have lots of pics of that one. Watching your videos gets me Jonesing for one more, I am 71 years old and just dumb enough to do it again. Just finishing a 24' cargo conversion with 9.5' cielings. Selling soon to do ...... another bus. Thanks for sharing, you make awesome videos! I hope our paths cross on the road! Don

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Awesome stories!!! I'd love to hear more in person. DO IT

[@mariemedina257]

Hey Charlie from Denver! Sorry a little late, with the family!

[@BartBourg]

Sorry, missed the premier. Looking forward to see what else you put out.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

I'm just glad to have people watching!

[@CADEmade]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻stoked… we’ve been waiting!

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

thanks for coming!

[@davidcarrick9114]

Great information Chuck!

[@soving]

Do you have any thoughts or concerns about the Outdoor part of the Mini-split being low and subject to road grime, road salt and stuff? Or does the box its in get sealed up for travel days? Amazing build, and workmanship.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thank you! It is sealed on two sides, but yes road grime is a concern but it is fairly easy to clean. We haven't had any reports on other builds of it being a problem

[@soving]

Lyss sent me. Pretty excited to follow your channel.Thanks for helping Lyss get keep on her path.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Welcome!!

Thank you so much for watching. Means a lot

[@no_worries_van]

I should’ve opted for the mini splits ugh I have 2 RV AC’s and they use up so much electric…I even bought 2 soft starts for them but I have no idea how to install them yay lol

[@sherrysvesnik7711]

Very informative, too bad the people didn't let you finish it!! You are the experts & I know you would have finished it by their wishes. Great content, best of luck on your journey and new KZbin channel!! 👍💕

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thank you and thanks for joining me here!

I just watched you on Regretless I subscribed u did a gorgeous job on her bus

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thank you I appreciate that a lot!

Came over from Alyssa. Looking forward to all the content you mentioned. ✌

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thanks for coming

[@sunflowerguru5118]

Saw your build with Alyssa!

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thank you kindly

[@MelissaMalzahn]

You are very knowledgeable and do some awesome builds.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

I appreciate that!

[@ttbrown3384]

Beautiful central Oregon is an awesome place to visit! We have lots of BLM and national grasslands too. (AND -I need help with solar and batteries in my bus build) 😂

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Hard to pass that off up!

[@colleenmendoza1344]

OMG Charlie I never have watched you in a video, GOOD JOB I so wished I could have Chrome Yellow do my bus :( You did a awesome job!

great to see you here! thank you!

[@robertseguin4875]

thanks for sharing, great info, nice build

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thanks for watching!

FYI, Chuck, a high resistance connection that glows on a wire will not trip a breaker. Sincerely, a fire investigator.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Huge point

[@rons9197]

Nice Build

[@mikekolczynski5665]

I'm a fan but start looking at grey water recycling, black water burners, cubic stove minis. All the newer idea's.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Lived with a mini for 2 years, it's cool but they're too small to burn for long enough

[@clago57]

So good Charlie. New Sub here. I've been enjoying your teaching on the Regretlyss channel.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

So glad you made it! More content coming soon

[@gossumx]

I see you’re a fan of youtube’s drunken Scottish electronics technician that we all know and love. Skook’em.

[@shawnlinehan4005]

You can't use just one like eighty or a hundred pound tank or even bigger if that's all you can find. Are the 4 small tanks just to make it easier to refill?

[@williamchristian2361]

Nice work

[@teresahenninger499]

Your amazing so many things to plan for.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thank you❤❤

[@wesm3915]

Found your page through Regretlyss 🤩🎉Love her bus y'all built Great job

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thank you! Subscribe and stick around a while, we're gonna have some fun ❤️

[@Warriorism]

Your information is by far the best! Do you have any that are available for sale? I’m unfortunately being displaced from my rental at no fault of my own - former landlady died & new owner wants to renovate my place and move her people in. I have a terminal cancer diagnosis and can’t afford SOCAL rent on SSDI. It’s just for me and my mini English bull terrier girl. I am trying to find a completed bus done by you preferably to purchase 🙏🏽❤️

[@Breathwork_Evolution]

Do you do the long furring strips so you can get more spray foam in? I also see shorter blocks going across the bus side to side

[@jimmyfavereau]

Love it!

[@edwardwehunt713]

Just got our bus home yesterday, wondering if you ever made a list of the order things should be done (after demo) so as not to make costly blunders of having to tear out/undo work to do something that should have been done first? That would be such a big help.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Just follow along! Im doing it in the order we like to. Demo, roof raise, clean up wires, etc, and then build back!

[@K61000]

How much would it cost to have you guys do a roof raise and a ruff cut like this im looking for a bus now mid size flat noise blue bird 28 passenger im really considering doing a bus instead of a tiny house build and I can do the inside myself but I don't have a place or know how or equipment to do a proper roof raise and honestly your the only person I see on line that builds like I do and takes serious pride n what you do and I'm honestly terrified of the solar too I use to install on homes run the wires and mount the panels but I was learning the rest b4 I fell off a roof and cut my solar days off lol but to get a mid size bus done to this point I was wondering a estimate cost

[@alanthompson1083]

Chuck, do the water tanks have baffles in them so the water doesn't splash around?

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

No sir

[@circlestar8697]

You do great work

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

I appreciate that!

[@ourbustheroci4052]

What do you skin the inside walls with? Curious what thickness plywood. Thanks!

[@ourbustheroci4052]

Also curious if you piped the diesel heaters into the main tank or how you ran it. We don't really want to have separate tanks for them and would keep an eye on their usage and make sure using them didnt leave us stranged if piped into main tank. Thanks!

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

I always tap the main tank!

[@ourbustheroci4052]

Thank you!

[@colleenbalch328]

Congrats Charlie! This is what happens when you hang out with a you tuber!

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thank you! It is, indeed, contagious

[@mariossaraiva]

nice video!

[@cycleoflife7331]

I’d like to know how you made the shower pan. Is it full welded or caulked seams, Chuck. Otherwise another great build!

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Full welded

[@mikebailey2504]

Looking good.Can I ask you why you and most builders build school bus rather then touring bus thank you and keep us pitchers as you build

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Touring buses are awesome, but ground clearance is low and finding a tour bus under 35' is just about impossible. Otherwise, theyre amazing

[@garywarren5048]

Will there be a soapbox segment??😀

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Theyre happening!

[@ob17183]

Thank you for all the great information, Chuck! My boyfriend has mentioned something about a “solar consultation” with you. We are very interested in knowing how to meet - we are aiming to start systems at the end of the month. Do you have an email or forum for these consultations? Thank you, so much for everything you do. You have helped us build much confidence in our skoolie.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

absolutely! in the video description of my most recent videos you'll see a link to schedule that!

[@joehiker5573]

Why dual grey tanks? If the customer is out in the backroads of New Mexico, why not put the grey water directly on the ground???

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

we build what they ask for. its better to have a tank and not need it, than need a tank and not have it

[@Forallweknow1111]

I'm wanting to get out in the communities where people have lost everything and pass out Bibles and cook chili praise God and sing and I need a bus so they can have showers and they can eat and I can cook them food and you know hug them and travel around helping people that are hurting I wish I had the ability to do with this man's doing with tears running down my face if I had the ability to make a bus that would drive out and just bless people and help them that's all you know God's asking me to do I just don't know how I'm going to get the bus but when I watch these little videos it warms my heart thinking you know Jesus I'm believing for it I'm believing and I'm expecting a bus and so when I watch him it just fills my heart with joy overflowing thinking one day you have God's going to let me get out there and help people because I'm qualified I've read the word of God I've studied and chewed and studied chewed on his word and you need to get out there and cook for people and tell them how good Jesus is his beautifully and wonderfully made and he's the best of the best in the world he answers prayer I can tell you so many stories of my own family members overcoming addictions and I'm a caregiver for some of my loved ones but being an overcomer by the blood of the Lamb

[@apeekinredspocket]

Chuck, great and very informational video. Have been addicted to your soapbox talks on another channel, lol. Wondering if you have an instagram that we can also follow? Working hard now to save and would definitely choose you and your knowledge base for my rough in build.

Do you think it'd be possible to put like French doors on the back?

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

with enough money and time, anything is possible :)

[@idowanna837]

@@ChuckCassadyYT I think it would be cool to put the bathroom in the back, make it like a mudroom, so when somebody has to use the bathroom they don't have to walk through the entire bus. I also think it would be cool to take a bath with the doors open, depending on location of course, preferably secluded 😆

[@DisTYM]

How much did it cost them to get it done that far?

[@jonathondury]

Just for clarity, is it 1 1/2 inches of spray foam in the walls and ceiling, or 3 3/4 inches? Things got a little confusing for me when you were describing that part.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

It's just over 3"

[@jonathondury]
