I'm about to buy a bus and convert it to an rv. I could really use someone to check with while I do everything. It would be nice to have an email or number.

Hopefully we can work something out

Thanks Phone Post

RV plumbing and electrical is not something many would be familiar with.

I had an rv for a minute. Had to do some 're pair on the sink. Its some kinda special flexible tubing that you use. Home depot has everything you need and it's pretty easy to work with.
Hope that helps. Phone Post

Depends on how you set it up. You can make it really easy or very complicated. Depends on how you intend you use it.

Just to be used at campgrounds with full hookups? Then you don't have to make it complicated.

Fully functional without hookups? Not something I would tackle without a pro helping me out.

Bus heaters suck.  The first thing you need to do to keep it warm inside is attach a hose from the exhaust pipe into the interior.

Do you want to beable to use electricity and the shower and shit while diving? If so you need separate holding tanks. Generators, you going with propane or electric appliances? There is soooooooooo much info needed. It can be done but you need to ask specific questions. What are you installing? Sink shower stove fridge? You only want to beable to use appliances and toilet when hooked up? Phone Post

No prob.. I really don't know shit about RV's, but I used to spend my winters plumbing and wiring mobile homes, and I still use pumps and tanks daily as an irrigator..

I think your biggest challenge will be getting hot water.. all the electrical stuff can probably be run off a bank of batteries and an inverter.

Honestly man. After the money in renovations and time I'd spend the 10k

Yeah you can get a bank of batteries for lights, but you need to recharge them. Those batteries will not run fridge and everything else. So you will need a generator I'm sure.. Phone Post
