Air ride is definitely on my mind, big time. In fact, I'm committed to it.

But I'm curious, why do you prefer straight axles to independent suspension (IS)? Is there something about a bus that is...

Cool What do you use your Skoolie for?

Is your skoolie used as:

A primary home
A second (or third...) home
Strictly as an RV
Something else, or a combination of the above (please explain)

:bow: Holy crap! Prudhoe Bay, AK - 500 miles NORTH of Fairbanks. On the shore of the Arctic Ocean. What an adventure! That wouldn't just test the skoolie, it would test the driver...and passengers....

I plan on getting a conventional front end bus for the same thing - going where RVs don't usually go. The main reasons I'm looking at a skoolie instead of a production RV include the ruggedness and...

I can answer that. Here's the OP:



So, you did that. You joined the conversation. :thumb:

Well, I broke my own rule and talked about it too. I talk about what to do in a pinch above (or what I've done).

Sorry to be a topic nazi.

Like I said somewhere before, keeping the bus windows is like keeping rust holes for the "patina". I don't get it. But then, there's no accounting for "taste". I guess you could see about getting...

Thanks for the endorsement! But I really don't see the need for more dumping, just the opposite. See my post on 10-11-18 @ 8:34 pm.

Also, not only does the the HEPvO valve keep the smell in-tank,...

How do you keep the original windows from leaking like a sieve (thereby making any attempts at temperature control a mountain to climb)? :confused:

They are very inviting to summer heat and winter...

Well, good luck with that. I'm not getting a stellar gut-feeling about it, though. I tend to think that going all-out with insulation would be the biggest step. Still, I applaud your out-of-the-box...

Perhaps we need a(nother?) thread about this separate issue?

Um, could you edit your post to have some simulation of up and down in your photos? One that corresponds to reality and gravity? :ermm:

Thanks but you don't really have to dump more. Think about it. In the scenario above, we have existing black and grey tanks. I'll just say 50 gallons each for example (and simple math). When we...

Let me start with your last point first. It may not be necessary to install...

The valve is for the sinks, shower and laundry (grey water), not the toilet. RV toilets have a spring-loaded opening/closing valve (with a foot pedal to activate it). I wouldn't let any big chunks go...

It sounds like Tango is on the right track. However, I'm wondering how his braces work against lateral forces. I assume there's more to the picture than pictured. :popcorn:
