I'm at about the same point with our Rosa, but lucky to start with a flat floor version - almost exact same mileage too. Aircon all comes out next week, heaters and linings come out this weekend.
Gday Peter! You’re about as lucky as us then! We’re doing a video series with our flat floor now and how we went about repairing it. How’s your build going?
Продолжай в том же духе мужик! Хочу сделать автодом на базе toyota coaster 4wd, так что твои видео будет мне полезны Когда сделаю, если сделаю, то приеду из далекого Челябинска в твою америку и проеду ее в доль и поперек Удачи тебе!
Hi guys, a really excellent video series, keep up the great work. Im a few steps behind you (currently researching which vehicle), but approaching it from an engineering / mechanical repair & maintenance / metal fabricating perspective. Im very interested in your carpentry approach - great tips, and that bitumous paint is great. With your rear heaters; i would definitely keep a few in case, but most people seem to go for the diesel heaters, as you can turn them on a few hours after you stop to warm the bus up before going to bed, and cheaper and quiet to run apparently. I live in Brisbane - no heaters needed here. Assuming cooling fluid is always flowing around the rear heaters circuit, this is actually a good thing as the extra fluid in the circuit assists your engine cooling, but the circuit is a real risk to your motor if a failure occurs. Those hoses you disconnected from the heaters are probably all 13 years old unless they were replaced at some stage. I agree with your approach ...but... 1) by twisting them both 90 degrees to join them, you are possibly risking future failure through hose cracking that will be covered by a floor or water tank, etc and potentially impossible to reach & repair, without a partial dismantle. 2) cant be sure from the camera angle, but any screws used through the floor, and elsewhere, cant be allowed to touch any of those hoses, or they will wear through and fail. Never a potential problem without a solution: so I would make a "hose bypass circuit" near the radiator, at the source and end of your rear heater hose lines - basically just joining the start and end of the hoses going to (not from) the rear heaters. Keep it ready to fit (with fittings) if a failure dores occur, and stored in your "mechanical spares" bin, along with some of that silicon fluid proof repair tape - very cheap and light-weight insurance. Absolutely no criticism of what you are doing here, but I spend a lot of time solo in the Outback, so being self sufficient is necesary, and breaking down hundreds of km from anyone, and repairing red-hot equipment in the dust is VERY overrated. 🤠
Gday Peter! If that’s your trade…. Can I ask that you follow our journey and share your knowledge with us?? Haha I have no idea what I’m doing, but documenting it in a new series on RUclips. Be really keen to see how you went about your build!
Hi, have a look at Mitsubishi Rosa bus conversion. TRAVEL IS SWEET, he Andrew, has just done all this to their bus, he’s in qld and he’ll show what not to do. He’s up to episode 90 odd, so there heaps to watch.
G’day mate great job 👏 can you please help me out how much did you pay for it and what is going to cost you to the end any idea … ??? I hoping to start sam thigh like this please reply 👍👏
I can't actually remember the diameter, I wanna say 15mm? I just took a small section of the hose off with a Stanley knife and then quickly connected it back it to the heater, then took the cut off to Repco and got one that was snug. Well 3, but you get the idea.
Good job bro watching from Tokyo
Awesome work, very helpful from NZ.😊
Best of luck from Bangladesh🇧🇩
I have a dream to build up a RV.

У них с этим делом проще. Сделал, внесли изменения и все. А у нас ноги до жопы стопчешь
That's so cool.
来布里斯班，我要坐你们的车😍
哈哈，好咧！
good job buddy I got a rosa as well but I mod it in to a lounge
很厲害耶，等不及看你們的成果，我在想可以留個兩張椅子，偶而可以載朋友一起旅行呢，這麼大應該可以設計一個折疊床給朋友偶爾一起。哈哈哈，祝你們順利，你們很棒
谢谢关注，会加椅子的，原来的椅子太丑了也不舒服就全拆了，我应该还会把驾驶座和副驾也拆了，换新椅子
Ready to do the same here in Costa rica!!!!!
Thanks for the video very helpfull!!!
Good luck keep editing!
Pura vida
Oh wow! How did your build go in the end?? We’ve just started our now and are documenting the build on our page! Man it’s a bloody epic job!!

New sub here!!
I would have blocked those heater hoses off at the engine then u wont have to worry bout leaks later on...
