  • Take a tour of our bus as purchased, before we transform it into our tiny home on wheels. We will be building this bus into a solar powered off grid home for our travels and full time residence. Follow along as we plan, design , and build out all the systems and comforts that will allow us to live in this bus in any weather.

    Finally watching this after all this time (I started following you when you were about to reveal the new paint color!), all I can do is quote that old commercial: You’ve come a long way baby!

    Just curious what your thoughts are for driving heat and air? I’ve purchased an eagle bus and an converting to a living space and have hit a wall on whether I should remove the entire driver hvac and just rely on minisplit for driving comfort?

    • @LacroixCruiser
      @LacroixCruiser  3 года назад +1

      If it’s in good shape, keep it. The factory system is engineered for your bus, and will perform better.
