Good thinking but if he doesn't post a new video soon, I can't make any promises.

Do you think the movie screen would work going down the road? I thought of steeling your idea but the problem is that the kids would be using it while otr. I think it would sway back and forth. Great idea though and saves a lot of space. Keep up the great work.

Holy wow....you guys have been talking liking crazy while I've been away from this site.
I have limited wifi at my new location so it's a bit tough sometimes to keep up with all the questions and comments. I'll try to sit down soon at a coffee shop or something and catch up.
Thanks so much to all of you that have enjoyed and commented on the videos!!
Here's the latest installment.......

I'm sure your kids could make do with your "SM-G935V"... All I ever see anyone under 30 doing these days is staring down at cell phones. Must at least make road trips a little easier when the kids have some gadget they'll stare at blankly for hours on end, though.

Oh yeah. My kidos are great road trippers. Being military we move so often and have to road trip to grandma and grandpa's all the time. Wether 16 hours from Florida, 9 hours from Kansas or 16 from Wyoming they are Champs at it. But so ready for the bus to be done so we can stretch out on road trips.

Thanks Tango.....I'm really enjoying re-using old stuff in my conversion. I'll probably have to put some foam weatherstripping on the door to keep it from rattling like crazy but I think they look pretty cool. Nothing better than already made doors!

I'm just getting started into looking to convert a skoolie into a retirement combination toy hauler/RV. I just power watched all your video's this weekend. WOW!!! What an unbelievable job you've done. Love the raised roof with the vista window. You talk about a play by play on how to convert one of those buses. You have it down. I've been following a lot of other build sites and they also have some excellent ideas and advice. Keep up the great work. I'm looking forward to your next video.

I saw him run that finger by the saw blade and just said that guy is an artist. My father in law is missing two fingers on one hand and half of a couple on the other. He doesn't know what the word push or stick is still. But he builds great stuff. Apparently you don't have to have fingers to work wood or ears to paint.

I ran a machine shop for 25 years. I taught safety classes to apprentices for three years and the first thing I told them was the reason I was teaching the class was that after 15 years as a machinist I still had all my fingers. With all the possibilities for true accidents to cause damage deliberately putting yourself in harms way is silly.
