help needed

Hi All, I'm having issues with my solar setup. I checked my batteries and they were at 100%, however, when I use my single hot plate, or even egg cooker, my inverter does the low power alarm. The only things directly on my fuses are my efficient DC fridge and LED lights. It's frustrating that...

Hello friends! I'm wondering if anyone who has experience in spark plugs would be willing to help me while I'm stuck in Tucson! I need to change my wires, distributor cap, rotor, and points. I can pay for the work, I'm just trying to avoid the expensive bills that a workshop would charge. It...

Hi all, I am converting a box truck into a shepherds hut style home; I realize this is not a skoolie but it is in a similar vein, especially when it comes to the body of the box that I am using (steel construction, see photos). I have some questions I thought skoolie builders might have good...

Bought a used 2018 Jayco Octane 161. Pulling it with a GMC Sierra. Tailgate hits the tongue jack. Anyone else seen this issue with an idea of how to fix it? I've thought about relocating the propane tanks to the shelf to the right of the batteries and adding a bracket to move the jack...

Hi all! Have you ever had to deal with the top half falling over or replacing the internal belts for lifting and lowering? I’m new to the Hi-Lo world (less than a year) and while out of town in December my camper didn’t get lowered all the way, and was about 2 inches from the lowered position...

Hello! I'm sorta new to this skoolie group but I'm a long time lurker.. im trying to see if I can do a trade with someone who wants to trade me abus for my car. The bus hasn't ran in over a year, she said it's the batteries because it doesn't crank. Now if the diesel has gone bad and needs to...

For starters, I’m not handy what-so-ever, nor do I know/understand terminology for A/C units so I’m going to do my best. We have a 2018 29QB. The A/C thermostat is a Dometic. The A/C will only run & cycle if the “air dump” vent is open in the main living area of the trailer. If that’s the case...

Hey everyone! As the title of the thread mentions, I bought a bus (1999 Bluebird with a 5.9 L Diesel engine - That's all I know for now), and right now I'm questioning myself if I did the right thing or not. And that's the reason I have so many questions, and I'd like to see if you could give...

From the research I've done it suggests getting the bus's outside finished first so that it is water tight. Do I need to precut holes for the mini-split, woodstove, electrical... etc. before starting on the inside? I have not purchased those big ticket items yet so I am not sure of the...

Hi, I still can't post photos on here, but I posted some pictures of both sides of my bus windows on Instagram. I was wondering if a heat gun and razor scraper would be sufficient in taking these windows out to clean and reseal. Also bought some caulk (didn't realize there were so many kinds)...
