demo

Hi y’all, I’m brand new so please forgive me for sounding amateur! I’ve been trying to find a thread or YouTube to answer this but I think I just need to ask for help. I’m converting it mostly by myself so I have been learning one step at a time. My bus is a Girardin on a Chevy Express 3500...

Hello! I'm nearing the demo phase of my '07 International CE300 conversion. I'm struggling to see why I should remove the inner wall panels, but knowing that it's a popular choice, I'd like to try to be convinced. Some info: I'm not planning to do spray foam, and will instead be using 1.5"...

Hello all, first post on here! My partner and I are in the process of building out a 30’ 2006 cab over Thomas Int. and are nearly done with all the demo. With some basic info out of the way… I want to completely rebuild the dash and have removed most of it already. I removed the defroster and...

Hey all, My brake lines are inside of my bus. Not sure why and didn’t realize what they were until all the metal was off. There is still flooring underneath that I’d like to remove and paint over, but I don’t want to damage anything mechanical. Then if I am able to get the floor out (or...

The rest of the bus is rust free. I mean for real. I pull up the floor to find this… is this a lost cause? Is it fixable and I’m being dramatic?? Helping me please

Howdy folx! I'm the proud new owner of a 1995 Thomas Pusher and I'm super stoked to get the conversion going. I'm currently in the process of grinding out seats and am trying to get some planning done regarding my build. I'm new to the mechanics of large vehicles, especially diesels. I know...

Hi! My boyfriend and I are converting a 36' 2002 Thomas Freightliner. It is currently on a lot in Camden, NJ. We hired someone to take the seats and floor out. The good news is that they successfully removed all of the seats. The bad news is that rather than removing the vinyl and plywood...

Hi, I'm Michelle. I'm happy to be here! I don't have a lot of time to do research right now because I'm packing my apartment up and need to be out on 7/31. Going to be a Gypsy for a while in the 2010 Thor Chateau I recently purchased. I'm not new to owning/driving/living in a motorhome. I...

Hi there! New Member here! I have exhausted all my options and would love/need input. My family and I bought a Keystone Hornet a few years ago, we were told it's a 2008 model but cannot find the exact floor plan which is okay I guess. Anyway, we have some issues that I am hoping to learn...

Hi, I am ripping out the walls and was wondering if this part on the bottom with the lip gets taken out. I can imagine it being useful to affix things to but if it’s going to be a nightmare to insulate or cause more probs I will take it out. Best practice to remove it?

Hi everyone, I have a random hole underneath the rubber flooring of the bus. It appears to be around the fuel tanks. Should I seal it up? Any idea what it is for?

Hey there ya'll, I was showing off my new purchase and my buddy suggested removing the wall that separates main area from bedroom. Is that safe? I have a 1999 Sunline Solaris 2475. I was debating about removing wall but keeping cabinets if that would be better for structure. I am willing to...

Hi All I've searched all over the internet/skoolie forums and cant find any info on these two items. I'm demo'ing my 2005 Thomas flat nose bus and am totally baffled. Hoping to cut these out in the next few days... 1. Black Box Recorder. I've torn this thing apart and can't figure out how it's...

Hello! I have an instagram account for my conversion @abusnamedamelia Please follow me and I will follow back! Currently I am mid-demo. Wheelchair supports on the floor are stopping my floor progress in one corner. Flooring is down to bare wood, all poles and dividers are removed. Almost time...
