Heating

Post by Busster »

Hey Sharkey and other! In my bus I have a diesel heater. Its a 11,6 Kw Webasto. In the floor I have built in copperloops allover were the water runns, and i have also radiators around the walls. I have been out in -27 degrees and I havent ned to wear any warm clothes inside :lol:
A friend of mine have built his one stove with an inbuilt radiator and a cirk pump tht heats his bus the same way but with wood then.
P.S. Im goin to build one to :D

Sounds nice and toasty Busster! :) I know a couple other people who put in water-heated floors, but not walls. Of course, it doesn't get THAT cold where these guys live. I had considered doing the floors & walls, but I didn't want to lose the inside height and width. My climate really doesn't warrant that type of heating anyway, but I may reconsider if I move back up north.

Have you any pictures you could share of your bus?

WOW! :shock: Busster's a beauty! Lots of time and effort put into that bus(fixing the frame rot must have been quite a job in itself). Very nicely and tastefully done! I wouldn't worry too much about the English version, the pictures speak in a universal language. 8)

Thank you too! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my school bus, but the next one I get is gonna have a basement / storage underneath like yours. I know of a guy that has a 1954 GMC Scenicruiser he may be selling soon, and to me that is one SWEET looking bus (drool, drool)!

P.S. Sharkey, if we need to move these posts to a different section, please let me know. We kinda turned a sharp curve from your POTD (which I have been enjoying very much, as well as the Grace saga)! Sorry 'bout that! :oops:

Exactly what I was thinking, best way to head off a thread hijack is to create one dedicated to the new subject!
