A couple years ago I bought these cheap 12v Diesel heaters to put in our Little tiny home (School bus). And I will be honest, I am quite happy with them!

Tiny Home School Bus Conversion Information
$2 something for diesel nice
No wonder I can’t freaking cut the metal sides out. My brother refuses to let me use a cutting wheel and gets pissy when I want to use a NON GRINDING wheel cause “I don’t trust you around a cutting wheel”. “Then help me please.” “No f**k u. Use a grinding wheel”. I’m gonna cry
$2:20 a gallon (4 liters) we pay $1:80-2:00 a liter in Australia, and up to $3:50 in the middle of no where
Big fan here. Would be cool if you had a mustache.
Thats not a bad idea. Maybe some curly hair too.
So, did you guys have any foam strips that you had to remove and or replace??
Love the family vlogging my dude ! You’re gunna appreciate this so much more just a few years down the road when looking back at this very episode. Keep being the rad dad you are and live in those moments!
Thanks man! Yeah I really like rewatching some of these so the whole vlog side of things is more for our own rather than playing the YT Game.
Where are you located?
@@40Saadia I have a shop in downtown Wilmington
@@BackroadPurpose Wilmington, Delaware or North Carolina lol? I’m in North Carolina
@@BackroadPurpose either way, I need to keep you in mind. The skoolie life is for me!!
@@40Saadia lol woops. Wilmington, NC. Delaware is too cold for us
you keep finding stray kids lol.
if you want a great tablesaw find a Ryobi bt3000, it was discontinued years ago but there is plenty around, and parts are still readily available. I have had Ryobi tools for years; you will get your money's worth out of them.
@@buddymccormack8668 for sure! I started with them and they definitely made their moneys worth for me but now making the switch to a little more powerful of a brand.
Super skoolie job!
Thank you!!
Beautiful work thank you 🙏 for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
Dude I’m here to just show you love bro!
Thanks boss man!!
@@BackroadPurpose so much weird internet stuff. I Try to spread love when I can. Love what you’re doing man!
Followed you a long time, the space is awesome and the additions are beautiful! The skoolie looks great, too! 3 years...Wishing I could afford your help, I am still living with bins of build items. 😅 But, it's all life, and someday I will be doneish on my build also...right now I have jelly beans to your fava beans😂 Thank you for sharing, appreciate your walk through tour! Have a great weekend 😀
@@PeaceJourney... lol bus life is no one way. The stories from everyone are wildly different. I think that’s what make it bus life. Thank you so much for watching!
@@BackroadPurpose yes, I am sure I am not the only one in the slooow lane, I am loving it more every year💙
@@PeaceJourney... lol shoot our first bus took 26 months. It’s all just a lane.
@@BackroadPurpose 💙💜💙 thank you for the kind words, keeping on with that keeping on! 😀✨️🐈🐕🐈⬛
Thanks for the tour! We are building our 30' 1996 international out. I have referenced many of your videos over the last year. Great job!
@@ratrivervintage6306 glad to help! Thank you so much for watching!
You're using the wrong formula. You're basing it on the external measurement you took from outside when it should be the measurements based on from behind the driver's seat to the backdoor. The formula is the number of windows by the width of the window by the internal width of the bus. That's the square foot of the bus.
You are partially correct. The formula is the same but the dimensions are wrong. Windshield back is around 24’ so I should have done 7x24 equalling 168 sqft making this minisplit even more overkill lol thanks for pointing it out.
@@BackroadPurposeMost would equate the driver's area as dead space unless you're not driving and even then most people don't use it except as a catchall. My question is the water heater. I couldn't make out the name when you mentioned it.
@@suzannenoel3078 two things, I was referring to the minisplit being able to cool the space adequately so the driver area is appropriate within that equation. Second, if you’re thoughtful and clever enough, you can utilize every space. We put a swivel on our driver seat in our bus and included it as a seat for the front living. And the dash was a place to put Marshall speaker. And also a key tray at the front door.
@@suzannenoel3078Fogatti is the brand name.
Did you run the brake light wire and running light wire together?
I did not. These lights had a wire for each part of the braking light system
I didn't use foam board in my build because I was afraid that it was going to squeak while driving down the road and that would bother the shit out of me.
What did you use to remove the lettering and numbers on the bus
I believe this time I used a razor blade but now I have learned that they make decal removal tools. amzn.to/3VQE9Nr
I am loving your channel I bought a bus to turn into a mobile business a month ago
Awesome! Reach out if you need help!
" just because it doesn't workout, doesn't mean it's not going to..." I like that, I also like , " you haven't failed if you haven't stopped trying, you just haven't succeeded yet..."
Nice closet 😅
Thanks 😅
What happened to you dude!? No FJ postings in 4 years!?
Sold the FJ. Bought a Bus. Converted it. Lived in it. Started getting asked to build them. Now we have a 3100sqft shop in downtown Wilmington, NC. Plenty of videos on our channel about it.
@@BackroadPurpose Oh bummer!
You’re the obnoxious guy that flies your drone in Valley of the Gods, UT. What a selfish and ignorant thing to do in such a sacred and quiet place. Can’t you make it through a day without having to be the center of the universe?
Great job
Love the content man. Keep it up. Bought used batteries off of you before you left Mid TN area. Hope you are well.
So awesome! Thanks for continuing to follow and watch!
Put a beeny on and stop your whining petroboy.
How much did you pay?
We paid $4000 back in 2019
It's been a few years since this video, has it held up?
It was great.
My voodoo 2011 is my most beloved car of all time as it feels special, is totally reliable, great fun, super practical, and very smooth to drive. Brilliant ownership experience for people who value such things.
How much do you charge to do a bus conversion?
It really depends. Usually somewhere between $50-100k depending on what needs to be done. You’re welcome to shoot me an email and see what we can work out.
How much money 💰 cost 💲 me to do the conversion most economically thanks.
Depends. This was $30k in materials.
Bravo 🎈
8:03 me either brother
Good to know
Good to know l, haven't weighed mine yet, couldn't wait to get rid of dingy yellow myself, congrats on the new family member adorable 😊☮️
Haha I dont blame you! I think that will be next for this bus. Thank you as well!!
Good to know, haven't weighed mine yet, I couldn't wait to get rid of the yellow tractor paint and a roller lol, congrats on the new family member adorable 😊thanks for sharing ☮️
Right on
Still loving the content !!! Thanks 🙏 for sharing 👍
Thank you!
2:05 what exactly do you mean? How did you change it up? I don't see any other videos about it.
I didnt end up using this door very long. I ended up making my own door! Video to come.
What did you do on the inside of the door to hide the wood?
No washer and dryer 😊😊😊
lol Could have put one but We probably wouldnt have used it that much anyways. Laudromats are pretty fast anyways!
Amazing !!
Thank you! Cheers!
What do you use for NC insurance for the bus?
We use farm Beaur
what is the weight of the bus?
Im not sure what it was empty but when it was fully converted and full of water and fuel, it was at 22,600
Pretty sweet
thank you!
Very poor ratings on Amazon
You still in nc i like your work man
Thank you! and yes we are!
Did you add brackets for a carseat by chance??
We did not. we could have tied into the rib on the side pf the bus but decided to drive a car separately and kept the kids in there.
Did you have any problem with weight distribution (left to right). Your bus is laid out the same as ours. (Everything on the driver's side, and a hallway on the left).
We did not. even with having a full or empty fuel tank on the passenger side the bus drove the same from day one.
@@BackroadPurpose Thank you for the reply.
Pull your tube out a inch or two so you have enough fuel to get the the station when the heater dies
This is Isaac on a friends phone. Sup uncle
Hey dude!!
