More Roof Fun - Skoolie Solar Mount & Roof Paint | Bus Conversion | Seeking Discovery
In today's episode, we tackle the skoolie solar mounts and paint on the roof to prepare for spray foam. I want to get most of the exterior work done on the bus before spray foam insulation.
In the video, I choose to create my own solar mounts for the skoolie, but in reality, there are better options when it comes to mounting solar. I would not recommend following this video for solar mounts.
As a reminder, this is not a "how to" video, but instead a "how I did it" video.
