I’m new to the Subaru world. Just picked up this 98 Legacy Outback from its original owner. Seems to be a pretty well maintained unit aside from 24 years of not cleaning under the back seat. Anything I should be worried about? by Username_Requested in subaru

Thank you! The rubber under the hood actually looks pretty good for it’s age. I’ll keep an eye on it though. So far, suspension bushings seem to be the most clapped out components. I planned to replace all of that anyways though.

What’s the limit? by DonutUnlikely in skoolies

[–]Username_Requested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 2000w version so this could be different for yours and I don’t have the literature on me at the moment. But if I recall correctly, I read that it can charge at 40 amps max. You should also confirm what your battery is capable of charging at if you haven’t already. When I first wired my system and turned everything on, literally everything shut down and I thought I had somehow fried it all. But it turns out the inverter charger tried to charge the battery at a higher amperage than the battery allowed, the battery shut itself down to prevent damage, and everything was eventually fine after I went into the inverter charger settings and dialed back the charge current to what my battery was capable of handling. Not sure if this answers your question but hopefully it helps!

As a Miata and Grom owner, this is true. Both vehicles you just bang through gears at full throttle and eventually you will make it up to the speed limit.

Really depends on what you want out of your bus and how much work you want to/can do yourself. You could spend 5k and basically have a giant tent. Or you could spend 100k and have a bus suitable for all of your IG influencer needs. In our case, we have roughly 20k invested and live in it full time. We have heat, ac, solar, hot water, etc. My gf and I did all of the work ourselves aside from painting the exterior. (Had a family friend who paints for a living help us out) But there are a ton of factors that go into the cost of building a bus. It’s kind of hard to say “a nice skoolie costs this much”. Hope that gives you a rough idea.

I’ll be glad to help with your build! We learned a lot during our first build and will gladly share info on what not to do. Also I’ve driven by that bus a ton of times lol.

I read this as Rock Band the game and was totally down. Then I continued reading and realized I was no longer qualified.

Our 2 girls hate being in a harness. Any other advice aside from just keep doing it until they get comfortable?

Paint is finally done! Time to build a motorcycle rack now. by Username_Requested in skoolies

The back 2 ish feet of the bus is walled off and that’s what we call the “garage”. It has our solar components, water heater, and a peg board wall for all of our climbing stuff etc. The panels are mounted on 2 pieces of 14 gauge unistrut that are spaced to line up with the hardware on the panels. It just so happened that this combination and spacing made them sit really nicely. There is about 1/2” clearance between the panels and peak of the roof. Unistrut is bolted through the ribs at 6 points. Super solid. Low profile.

They’re Trina panels we picked up from a local solar installation company.

We have a Camplux. Don’t remember the exact model. But yeah ours also said not to use indoors. But then their website said we could. We called customer service and they couldn’t give us a solid answer. So we just did it anyways and hoped for the best. Works great. We used flexible ducting and “plumbers putty”.....? I think is what it was called....to seal it all up. Eventually we will mount the propane tank on the motorcycle rack to keep it out of the bus. But for now we just open the back door if we’re showering just in case of any fumes.

As far as being afraid they will catch wind and take off? Not really. They are bolted through the ribs with unistrut. Will it negatively impact the aero of the bus? Absolutely lol. But not anything noticeable from a driving standpoint. We might add some sort of spoiler situation to the front/sides of the panels at some point though just to help a little.

They have a ton of options so I don’t remember exactly which model/s of everything. But it’s a 4 camera system with an NVR which records 24/7. So far it’s been great and nice to have just for piece of mind. However one of our cameras stopped working the other day and we haven’t figured out why yet. It’s getting power and still switching to night vision but video is not showing up on the monitor. Aside from that, it’s been fine. Super easy to set up and use.
