From start to finish - solo female renovates a Mercedes Vario Bus / TIMELAPSE
Hey you lovelies! 💕
I spent 3 years building my bus home - everything you see - I built from scratch, including most of the soft furnishings.
I was a complete DIY beginner, and I don't pretend that this was an easy task for little old me, but its been so empowering to learn the skills and now after 3 years of hard work I'm so happy it now 🤗
I recommend it to anyone that wants to give it a go! we can all do hard things ☺️ 🙌
While building my bus I tried my hardest to film most days... but over the 3 years there were some moments when quite frankly I could not be bothered to put on the camera 😅 (filming and build makes the process twice as long as you imagine) - its a shame I didn't manage to capture EVERYTHING, but hopeful this gives enough of an insight to what the build was like ☺️
I did pay the pros to help me with a few things however:
- Welding
- Gas
- electrics
- log burner
- diesel heater
- plumbing
(it took me 3 years to learn & have a go at all the woodwork and sewing... I thought perhaps it would take me 10 years if I undertook all of that as well lol 😅) - but I do harbour some regrets on this matter.
I just want to say the BIGGEST thankyou to all my lovely friends and family who have supported me over the years!! listened to me go on and on about my build.. (I know I must have been super boring) but I appreciate you putting up with me.
BIG BIG love to my mum! I completely took over her house and garden with tools and items for the bus! Sorry and thankyou mum! I will be forever grateful 💕
Thank you for joining me here in my little corner of the internet 🙌

Winnie ❤is the best part.....good luck
I don't know how this ended up in my recommended, but you are the most precious little bean <3
This is the cutest van I've seen and I've seen a lot! Very inspiring! Now if only I could get my driver's license...
I love this 😊😮
Ugh this is the most perfect, magical, cozy, cute, inviting, and amazing bus/bus build I've ever seen and I'm honestly jealous this is you and your pups home ❤ I would live here in a heartbeat and I love that you did it all on your own im in absolute love with it I just stumbled on your channel and havent looked at much yet but do you have any videos of the renovations?
She's pretty
Ditto on the Thor issues and extreme lack of quality. I bought a $100,000 Thor Sequence JK 2 years ago and it has been NOTHING but problems. It has literally spent more time in the shop than in my possession using it. Every time I picked it up from the shop I thought surely this is the last time….but NO. I take it out camping and other things BREAK! I picked it up last week after being in the shop for a month, took it camping 40 miles north of me for the weekend and four more new issues!! It’s back in the shop on the last day of the warranty. I bought it 2 years ago new with 2,000 miles on it and it only has a total of 9,000 miles so far…. 1,200 miles of which are from driving it back and forth from the shop and 3000 ish miles up to Montana and back. This was supposed to be my retirement home… I assumed 2 years of owning this that all the kinks would be worked out of it and I’d be able to get on the road to enjoy my retirement. Well, I retired this last May and it’s been in the shop almost the whole time. When it’s working I love it. But I have to say the quality is the absolute worst. It was built in 2023. Listening to this couple with the $$$RV…. I feel your pain. NEVER again will I purchase a Thor product. In fact, doubtful I will ever purchase another RV that is built out by a corporation and sold by a dealership because there is no such thing as quality anymore. Tiffin used to be quality, but then they sold out… to Thor I believe. So far, this has been the most excruciating, painful, frustrating, saddening, anger filled, disappointing 2 year experience of RV ownership. I feel bad for this couple, but at least I don’t feel like I am the only one with these problems from the beginning.
Cutest thing I’ve ever seen!! It’s like living in the dollhouse of my dreams! 💕 Such a wonderful job, Josie. Kudos! 🥰 Officially living vicariously through you, now. 🤭
Beautiful home!🏠 Winnie is so cute and sweet!🐶🐾 He doesn’t want you out of his sight!😄 How adorable!🥰 Safe travels!😊
Bob is not my uncle
Omg i absolutely adore how the video is edited. It’s so cute and funny. And that is the prettiest and thought through van i have ever seen. It literally perfect. I am exited for future videos. ✨
Also from the UK and thinking of getting a van sometime. Cottagecore isn't my personal style but it looks absolutely incredbile in your van! Lots of love! xxx
