Being good at welding means that you know how to handle the situation. Otherwise make yourself a favour and:
1) learn
or 2) don't do stuff you do not have enough knowledge about.

Re: The Camel Conversion Project

Why don't you just spray foam insulation?. Will hold everything nice and tight and fill all the holes. No rattles ever.

Re: 1935 Chevy school bus

I've following your conversion with great interest, because you posted solutions for some problems in a different than the usual way. About the generator, I would put a small fan to draw fresh air in...

Re: living out of a bus

If you plan to go to a regular camping site they have all the connections on the driver's side (water, power, drain, etc). You may want to follow the standard.

Re: Double decker Slide out?

If the slider cuts thru the roof it may be hard to seal against rain, I guess.

Re: 87 Wayne Lifeguard international S1700 CXXVI

Probably they have been abused (run into total discharge, partial charges, etc). Maybe they will be just scrap. Check before working to install them.

Re: 87 Wayne Lifestar international S1700 CXXVI

Battery posts and terminals look awfully dirty and oxidized. Clean them out first because they put a high resistance on the electrical path.

Re: Great Roof Deck Build

I would make the four deck railings collapsible so they can be folded flat against the floor deck, otherwise when built as pictured they add a lot of height for no valid reason.

Re: 2012... The Year of Renewal

Stupid question: is there a valid reason to have the exhaust pipe taking all that space instead of running paralell to the chassis?. It is a lot easier and cheaper to reroute it than going around it...

Re: Ludicrous Speed

Read the regulations about max length RC+ trailer in your state BEFORE sailing out. You don't want to learn about them in the middle of nowhere from some trooper!.

Re: Canadian Skoolie Project

Looks like you did not put a trap on the sink in the kitchen. If it is just a straight drop into the tank gasses will come out thru the pipe into the bus. Not nice.

Free unsolicited advice

When attaching wood to wood use carpenter's glue (the yellow one) because it penetrates into the fibers and makes a stronger joint. This does not happen with Liquid Nails.
