This week’s bus build felt like a huge turning point because I wasn’t doing it all alone anymore. Our friend showed up at the perfect time, and honestly, having an extra set of hands (and a fresh brain) made the hard parts feel way more doable. In this episode we’re tackling a big milestone: getting 1500 watts of solar up on the roof using BougeRV panels and adjustable tilt-mount brackets—plus continuing the overall push of Part 9/10 with the solar and AC unit install. I walk you through the reality of installing rooftop solar on a bus: measuring, positioning, and working through the “of course there’s always some challenges” moments that come with a DIY build. The biggest takeaway is that planning and patience matter just as much as the parts you buy—especially when you’re dealing with roof space, tilt brackets, and making sure the system is set up for real-world travel. If you’re building a tiny home on wheels, this is the stage where the bus starts feeling less like a project and more like an actual off-grid home.
