School Bus Back Deck WITHOUT WELDING | Motorcycle rack | Key Takeaway | Bus Build 7

Learn how to build a school bus back deck WITHOUT welding. Our back deck is also being used as a motorcycle rack, so it is strong enough to hold quite a bit of weight. We see many people weld back decks to their school busses, but we chose to bolt ours on with grade 8 bolts. Enjoy the video and good luck on your own back deck for your school bus!

Hey! We’re Chris and Jessie and we’re making the best of this life by living out of our self converted Promaster Van. We have a passion for wellness, music, craft beer, and are dedicated to not taking ourselves too seriously. Our goal is to visit all 50 states, 63 National parks, countless breweries, and share our adventures with you!
One day, shortly after we started dating, Jessie mentioned she had the bucket list item to live in a van for a summer. Chris thought this idea was absolutely crazy at first, but after a little more thought and research, decided living in a van would be exactly the kind of excitement he would enjoy. We both love seeing new places, spending time outdoors, and don’t need a whole lot of physical things to be happy. In January 2019, after just 8 months of dating, we purchased our 2019 Ram Promaster and began converting it into our future tiny home. One year later, we finished the build and hit the road!
We’re excited to see where the road takes us and to share our adventures with you! Big thanks to all of you who have supported us and encouraged us to live out our #vanlife dream!
