    When you started by sealing up the floor (really well), I was thinking, “No! Conduit, plumbing!” After building my boat I have some suggestions:
    I would suggest aluminum 2x4 replacements as much as possible, (wood adds lots of weight).
    Less glue. That insulation will stay put with panels on. Thermo tape.
    Look for products for this with RV, trucking, Marine websites. (4200 or 5200 to seal holes).
    Very cool. I like the paint. Wind generator for when stopped? Between sun and wind we do pretty well on the boat. Nice work!

    You may be a drop out, but from what I just saw was a brilliant young man probably pursuing the wrong degree.
    I don’t know your story, so it’s just my opinion from what little I’ve seen. However, with your level of smarts, as a Counslor, I would’ve directed you to a technical college rather than a university if you prefer to work with your hands in creating something of value.
    Have you ever considered courses for a journeyman? One can get a well paying job anywhere in our country. It also looked to be right up your alley.
    You sure as heck don’t have to do it right now or tomorrow, enjoy your life for awhile. I’m just offering you some unsolicited advice is all. Do what feels right for you.
    I wish you all the best in your travels.
    Be well and stay smiling,
    Ma’iingankwe

    @sharonoddlyenough 5 лет назад +17

    I have concerns about the placement of the house batteries. Unless they're in a compartment sealed from the interior and vented to the outside, it's not up to rv code. Also, please use grommets when putting wires through metal holes! The vibrations of moving the rv will wear holes in the insulatig covering, and shorts will happen. The framing looks to be overkill, especially since the body of the bus is very strong. The extra weight will take a chunk out of your cargo capacity. Otherwise, nice work. You've got some great ideas!
