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. 

Haha

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

I'm looking into a

2 range stove

Sink

Shower

Toilet

Possible microwave

Electrically

Running a lap top

Led lights

Possible air conditioner

And phone charging

I Plan on installing solar panels Phone Post
Get a professional. How much are you spending on the bus? Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy an rv? Phone Post
I'm. At a Crossroads. The bus is 2000 then rennovation costs

The rv im. Looking at is 10 k Phone Post
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
I have lots of time and you can run all those on battery's. Ive been following this.guy named tynan on tynan.com in the exact rv im looking at but it's 12000 Phone Post

I didn't see where you said that you're using solar panels. I guess if you have the time is try it. But that's because I have experience building, plumbing, and working on cars. If you have the skills and determination and patience give it a shot. When you have specific questions ask away. Don't forget to insulate water lines and stuff. Phone Post

the adapter your talking about is called an inverter, and you'll pay out of your ass for DC appliances both in initial cost and repair.. Not trying to be a dick, just trying to help.

It would probably be cheaper to buy a shitty old RV and fix it up.
