    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.

    • @BackroadPurpose
      @BackroadPurpose 20 дней назад

      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.

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.
