    The observation about putting roof top boxes on the LEFT, as opposed to the right, to avoid low hanging branches really makes sense; that could apply to anything up, or sticking out of, the roof. This is why I watch these videos -every now and then I can learn something really practical. Thank you.

    that engine is a navistar T444E also known as the 7.3L powerstroke used in ford trucks from 1994-2003. its a great engine. people love cummins but with the shorter gearing in busses a cummins would be revving really high on the freeways and burns up so much fuel once youre past 2k RPM. a v8 is happy to rev and its just as reliable. the fuel system is electronic but very reliable. i dont recommend it but you can run these on WVO and WMO easily since the fuel rails are built into the cylinder heads. it gets the fuel piping hot which helps the bio-diesel or veggy oil stay thin to atomize well.

    It doesn't look like you have a damper on your chimney pipe. Adding a damper will also help whenever you are driving. You can almost close it completely when driving a ND the fire won't burn like crazy like you said. It also makes it more efficient. By adjusting your damper and controlling how much air your fire gets you can get your wood to last longer. It's a must add. It will make a tremendous difference

    Love that they are open and honest about the things that they would change having lived in it for a while now. Call me crazy, but why would you light a fire in the wood stove if you are planning to move or drive the bus without putting the fire out?? I hardly think that is smart or even legal on any roads or highway anywhere in Canada or the US. If you have to heat the bus up in the morning and you can't use the diesel heater or wait for the fire to go down invest in a locking/sealed container meant for hot coals and ash and take out anything that is currently burning and move it to the hot can and bank any hot ashes to retain some heat until you can use the diesel heater or are parked for the day and can use the wood stove safely. Another reason why it's unsafe to drive or move the bus or whatever vehicle you're living in and heating with a wood stove is a spark or a really hot fire anand the extremely hot air coming off the chimey even with the cap on the chimey could cause those overhanging trees to ignite as you drive under them. I doubt that you would want to be responsible for causing a wildfire to start and potentially destroying the woods/forest/homes/and potentially causing loss of life to either humans or wildlife. To me that is a common sense kind of thing, but obviously not for some people and age groups. Throughout my teaching career I was constantly surprised by the lack of common sense and knowledge about the things my students were in contact with daily. Yes unfortunately the over use of the various technology, devices and the internet has taken robbed them of that and so many other things that people over 40 have developed throughout their lives. It is mind blowing how dependent the group of people under 40 are on their smartphones, the internet and other tech devices because they can not function without them.
