VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
I am seeing more and more young people dive into the tiny house life. The idea of having a mortgage for 30 years is not as big of a priority for more and more people. I myself never plan on buying a home unless I use it for renting as a mobile income. I love this busses design and I hope you do as well!

I loved this build! I may have to steal their front console idea for my skoolie :-) What did you think of this build?
Love it!

He did great at the interview and describing everything about the bus!
Really nice woodwork. Nice skoolie. As a retired babyboomer, I am happy to hear your generation is not buying into the "American dream." There were many of in my generation that also did not want to live that dream but, knew of no other alternative. Now in retirement, I realize how much of my life was for establishing the American dream and very little for living. Considering this lifestyle. Fits a retirement budget.
AWESOME !!!!!!
Downsize to a smaller vehicle? This conversion is by far one of the BEST I've ever seen. The kitchen literally looks like it came out of a regular home - incredible. The front dash build is as professional as can be. All of it is incredible - the bump out of the shower ceiling always makes sense. Yes, your bus may be too large to park in certain parks, but as you get older you'll want the room you have now. I mean, washer/dryer, bunk beds, huge refrigerator, and again a kitchen that should be the standard for any build. Amazing home.
You could see his face as she said that just go “I worked my ass off for nothing?!”
I’m living for the gaming PC in the bus lol. I feel like a lot of these people make it seem like all they do is travel and hike so it’s nice to see other interests incorporated into the bus. Also I really like their pretty clean and modern style :)
glad they showed they could support a gaming pc there.... definitely would need my computer with me lol!
This is the best part of the bus i need my gaming pc im starting to stream I just got a question what is the internet speed looking like I saw you was playing warzone.
This^^
@@elvysramirez6234 I think SpaceX is working on a mobile version of there starlink which is something that could be a huge game changer for internet on the road.
Same I really wanna install one into my bus when I get one
The dog in the door made me smile
I was curious if that's what he was talking about (that guests love) when the door first opens!
The cat sleeping on the bed too.
Same
If it didn't you're a monster
@@britishempire5348 We don't want to think it, but there's monsters out there
"And we have these bunks for guests...."
Cat: "The hell you do! Top is MINE!"
😅😂😅😂😅😂
i will take the lower bunk with the dog :)
I would rent a car to get around town before I would give up this bus that you renovated so beautifully and intelligently ....
If you do downsize you are going to have to SACRAFICE for less while your bus is designed for more !!
I'll buy your bus.
I agree, rent a car or tow a car. You have a lot of space so don’t let it go.
Depending on how often a vehicle is needed, it might be more cost effective to haul a vehicle! It'd be very difficult for me to downsize from such a fantastic build with plenty of room for this family of four (yes, I'm obviously including the furr-kiddos as mine are more family than my actual family!!!) I'm guessing someone got the itch for building skoolies, etc.. I think this lovely couple could make a living by converting vans, box trucks, school buses, etc., etc... But that exquisitely detailed, gorgeous woodwork though!!! WOW!!!
Gosh, yes! This is wonderful little home! You can build a van camper as an extra or just use bicycles to get into city-centre. Also, many of the schoolies goes into remote places. This is a super beautiful home for a long time!
I was thinking get a jeep, and tow it behind. They are built to get you through mountains and such.
I hope you don’t downsize too soon. After all of your hard work you need to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. You did a most excellent job! Enjoy! 😎✌🏻🤙🏻🤘🏻😎
The bus is beautiful!!! But the puppy, that stole the show. Gorgeous baby indeed. And so well mannered. Safe travels. Namaste.
Their kitty is also gorgeous🐾😽
The kitty is adorable ♥️
No the puppy didn't.🙄
@@annabanna1873 The puppy got 199 likes and you got 2 👍🐕
Of all the buses that I‘ve seen on this channel, this bus has the prettiest entry, it’s not just boring and no storage is welcoming and so smart also this dog is soooo adorable
The kitty is cool too.
Yes.... The American Dream is not what the future can maintain.... from a 69 year old with attitude, YOU GUYS ARE ON IT!!! Thanks for sharing.... 🌀❤️🌀
You have the right mind set. How about if you keep the bus and just get yourselves a tow vehicle. I have been traveling like you, but I found that having a tow vehicle gives you another option. Your home plus transportation into the smaller locations that you want to visit. Good luck and have fun
Hey @BG - how is it towing a vehicle? Do you have a full size bus? I'm still converting but debating towing my Prius.
@@shannonelhartcounselor9582
We have a 38' Holiday Rambler Deisel Pusher, we tow a 2002 Jeep Wrangler Sport. We have been all over the west coast and into Canada. The beauty of is I can set up and go to all the places that I want to see. The reason I chose the Jeep is it light weight and all I have to do is put the transfer case in neutral, if you want more info regarding the towing, I can add more
@@shannonelhartcounselor9582 to be honest I am not sure about the towing of prius. The jeep can be towed on al fours, the prius might need a tow trailer because of it bring an all wheel or front wheel drive, which is why I decided on the 4x4 jeep.
@@BG-ig9eu Thank you so much - I really appreciate your reply and providing me some key info as I've never towed anything before. I'll do some research, but it's nice to know I can reach back out. I sincerely appreciate your kindness.... def need more of that in the world today :)
Your bus is beautiful. Maybe you could get a tow vehicle to use when you get somewhere that the bus can’t fully explore.
Look at that face when they opened the door 🥰
The so-called "American Dream" is more like a nightmare. Living simply is so underrated. Nice to see young people who get this and aren't buying into the lie! Good wishes to this young couple. Some really nice features, and so sweet to be greeted at the door by the cutest pooch!
The lie is those that think that your supposed to do what others do.
But its America! Your free to chose what you want yo do!
Your not told by anyone what the American dream is....your supposed to make it what you want!
THIS! A work of art. A labor of love. Plus ~ gorgeous children!
I totally admire those who take the leap and make it happen like this couple. The bus design is beautiful and the memories of living and travelling in it will be priceless.
I've never watched a tiny home video that didn't make me yearn for that lifestyle. The cozy, peaceful energy and freedom. I need that. 🙏🏻
Genius for taking care of your kitty and puppy dog.It’s all amazing❤️
Very impressive! I love it! The hideaway cat facilities are awesome! The fact you have a washing machine for your clothes is rare so that is fantastic! The different textures and wood mix is brilliant! The puppy is so darling! What more could you want? It’s Perfect!
This is a beautiful build and the couple was charming but the best part of this tour was when Archie was sitting at the front door just waiting like the good little prince that he is ❤
I don't think I could part with a bus like this! I Love your bus, everything about the bus! I've watched this video like 3-4 times. Thank you for sharing your Beautiful bus!
This is one of the best bus builds I've ever seen. Wonderful job!
This is one of the best school bus builds I have EVER seen! Good job !
unbelievable that so much can fit into a bus. really cool home.
Heartwarming to see that you could still enjoy the gaming PC while livin in a schoolie. All the best to both of you lovely people!!
What a beautiful home on wheels. And good for you not buying into the so called "American Dream" of home owning which is just debt. You did a fantastic job. Blessings to both of you on your travels.
Don't be in a hurry to buy into "The Script" as in job, house endless debt, etc. It was written by those who lacked the imagination to do what you are doing. Your craftsmanship is superb by the way.
Thanks for the wisdom and the kind words.
Wow! You guys are living the REAL dream. Life is to be ENJOYED & to really EXPERIENCE the beauty and freedoms of it all. You are both very lucky and well deserved.
I've seen hundreds of conversions and this is the best. Unbelievable I can't even explain
Me, an introvert: Why is there so much space wasted on seating??
Ok, but seriously, I love how creative this build is. Little nooks and crannies filled cleverly really make a tiny home something special.
Lavinia de Mortalium They said they like to entertain & have room for guests!!!
For the dogs silly! lol
LOL that's exactly what I was thinking..... i would have so much extra room for art supplies if I replaced those guest beds and one couch... hahaha
@Zayalla Fantasy glad you got the joke xD i never have people over to my apartment. I literally have one chair, and the rest of the floorspace is dominated by plants and bookshelves
@@LaviniaDeMortalium I don't think they're introverts but i find those coaches awesome for laying down haha! Also, if their parents come over they have somewhere to sit xd
This is definitely one of the prettiest and hugest buses I‘ve every seen! I don’t think it‘s bigger then other ones but the space is just really smart used so that the guest beds are not just little holes, no they‘re actually beds which I think is so cool! And also that it has a door and isn’t just open
My wife and I are planning on doing this. You're bus is beautiful. It is almost exactly what I have pictured for my layout. Thanks for sharing.
This is a gorgeous home, and this couple are easy to watch. I love the aesthetic inside, and its super practical too.
Either I’ve already seen this bus on another channel, or someone else has that kitty litter setup. Ok I was having such a huge sense of deja vu. Ok. After being convinced most of this video that this was same bus different people than the previous video I had seen on their channel. I now realize these are the same people. Lol.
Still one of my favorite bus layouts ! Also love the changes they’ve made with things like the bedroom door. I can’t believe they are thinking of parting with this magnificent home. It’s so absolutely stunning.
I bet it was us! :)
This is such a beautiful home and a lovely couple! Not to mention the adorable dog and cat! I love the puppy pool outside. I can't imagine giving this up for a van, but understand the reason. Hope you enjoy this home a bit before moving on. Happy traveling and thanks for sharing your lovely home!
loved it.. only thing i would do different is where the guest beds are put my closet there and washing machine so its not in the bedroom.
Exactly, imagine the closet space. And all extra space in the bedroom. I don't think we'd entertain more than 2 people at a time.
Omg I love the little box idea. We're building our own tiny home bus and we have 3 cats. I would love to see a little more in depth video on how you built it.
This is literally my dream 🤩 I was thinking a gaming area, decent sized kitchen with a fridge and a stove, a bathroom with a shower and a laundry room was just not gonna happen when it came to living on wheels. But this really proved me wrong and I absolutely love it!
woofy
I am sure someone, if not many, commented that y'all are already LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM!!! ✨🎉🎈🎊✌️🎊🎈🎉✨
I like it. They've got everything and in all the right places. Safe travels folks!
My favourite bus conversion ever! Blessings from Ontario, Canada
It’s be cool to park that on some scenic land for a rental when you out in a van.
Nice bus. We worked our way up from a 27' to a 40' RV, then down to 25' and then up to a 29' which is perfect!!!.
With the 40' RV we drove for miles to find a place to turn around at if we got into a city by accident towing our car.
But your bus is beautiful... Keep it till it no longer works for you.
As seniors age 78 & 73 a Sprinter van is the last size I would go down to. You really loose a lot of comfort and often necessities like a shower and toilet. I am not ready for the Sprinter van yet. 🤗
Your pup is priceless! 😆 Love. Love, Love your build. I'm a solo Senior & am working on getting MY skoolie. I have saved your video to "liberate" some ideas for my home. XO THANKS & be safe & stay well till we get to actually meet.
WASHER AND DRYER--- oh this bus is amazing. This bus has everything in it. I really, really enjoyed how y'all maximized the space. I also love the flexibility of the bus. It's extremely comfortable and a better option if you want an RV for less. Thanks for sharing.
A very lovely home, but your dog is utterly delightful.
Wow. This bus might convert me. Haha. I’m a THOW fan but this bus is one of the best builds I have ever seen. Love love love.
The best bus tour I’ve seen, he went straight to the tour and didn’t talk as much! Love the bus!! 🤩
This is the best schoolie I've seen thus far and I have seen hundreds that I liked. Well done
Beautiful bus. That's one of the cutest dogs I've ever seen. 😊
You guys are smart living debt free instead of being a slave to mountains of debt. Very inspiring 😊
What beautiful workmanship. Very impressive. Makes me want to sell everything and live in a schoolie.
That conversion is something to be proud of. Great work.
This is one of my favorite bus conversations...
Your home is absolutely stunning. This home has everything you need, what more would one need, really good job, love it. Good luck out there.
Dude, its not a millennial idea not to buy into debt. That had to take hundreds of hours to build and now you want a Sprinter. That's a kick ass build
@@MariE-go7ol I get it. If you aren't happy don't spend one day not making life better. Its just crazy they did an amazing job . That project would have wore me out
@@christophercaruso448 I'm not clear on you statement. Who is dividing anyone?
@@christophercaruso448 I understand.and he is right
guys its their flip house. they cant just say we flipped a bus. they will profit from this and van is way cheaper the leftover money is for travel.
Buy spend consume, the great Merikan dream. They just never tell you its a nightmare of debt slavery and subservience that creates a society reduced to greed and self interests.
Your bus is sooo cool..and I love the door to the master's bedroom.
I’m Gen z, and when I move out I want to live in a van. I think it will be nice, because I could travel and stuff. Who else wants to live in a house on wheels?
I want to get a small bus so not as little as a van but not as big as the big buses!!
I’m tryin to get money together to buy a bus ….a van won’t be big enough since I have 4 cats
Smaller buses aren't the worst idea if you know how to fix one up and have the room and means to do so because after years of driving kids around, they are usually beat the hell up and are pretty cheap. Plus there's a lot of customization there and there's no warranty that you have to worry about. Voiding
I am going to get a van. I am gen z as well but i dont want fo live in the van i want to use it to travel. Since my sister wants to live 15 hours away from me im gonna use the van to go and not stop since you can switch drivers and rest
Best schoolie I’ve seen absolutely beautiful & so much room. Sending you love and prayers always, please keep safe xx❤️🙏🏻🇬🇧
This is my favorite skoolie build that I have seen and I’ve watched A LOT!
Beautiful home. I could live there so easily. Just stunning but I love your dog the most
Loved this schooling. Perfect for me and my 4 legged babies. Just adore the cat place . You guys had so many great fitures to this bus. It makes want to sale my house and live life to the fullest.
My husband And It have had everything from a 40 ft. RV to a 21 ft. RV. . We loved the 21 ft. But it just wasn't enough. Room with a Dog ( GSD ) and a cat. We really enjoyed the extra space of a larger unit. We found same problem of mobility in larger cities. We just found a safe camping ground and rented a small car for a week. Worked great for us. And with a larger frig. We could shop for a week at a time. Not needing to run to store daily. Great job on your Schoolie. I would be proud of myself after the work was done. 💯❤️.
What a beautiful build! I loved hearing your story and why you decided to downsize and live in a school bus. We lived in a school bus for 2 years in 1971-72. We traveled across the country from San Francisco to Tennessee, where we started homesteading--and our first baby was born right in the bus! Best wishes for you and your adventures--you are doing a wonderful thing.
I have the same monitor....and background....and almost the same desktop.
Can these folks just come build me a Skoolie? Can I have theirs? NO? Had to try I guess....
It was worth a shot!
Basically Nomads it was!
I’ve seen a few of your videos as well! I really like y’all’s style! I hope to sell my house in a few years and move into a skoolie. This life ain’t for me!
Gorgeous build! Nothing I would have done differently. Have you ever thought of towing a jeep? We park our R.V. and take our jeep and explore all of the places our R.V. will not go. Just a thought. Happy trails!
We've absolutely thought about pulling a jeep behind us! We love jeeps!

i've watched many converted buses and van's here in youtube, but this is the coolest i've ever seen makes me want to live with them
Love it! " write our own story" I really want a "schoolie" 🚍
How big is this bus? Looks huge, really great usage of space, looks like a regular apartament, with all you need, really clever.
He said 39 ft long
Your bus is so beautifully designed please enjoy it few more years before downsizing. I love your pets that doggo on the step wow❤️👍👌
Me and my fiancé just bought a q
1979 skoolie. This video gave us both some really good ideas on saving space :))
This is the best bus conversion I have ever seen. I love the layout, and I also love the interior design. The copper behind the stove is gorgeous. Your refrigerator is beautiful. All the woodwork detail and the natural butcher block counters. So amazing!!
I love the bunk beds as well. Private bedroom? Yes, please! Washer/Dryer? Heavenly!
I just wonder what it's like driving something so big?
Love the lay out of your bus. Totally different from other's. A plan of your own. Beautiful bright and cherry.... Your dog is a dorible! Ty For the tour!
you can't downsize, get an off road vehicle and put it in tow
they can downsize. they can get a van.
Fuck that, it would suck to live as a couple in a van. Only sort of viable for a single person
Cutest dog on the planet! And the cat is adorable, too! Disappointed you didn't make a big deal out of them!
Right...my pup runs this house!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🐕
dude the cat compartment 🙏 was trying so hard to find a good design, thank you
Happy to help!
This is a really nice home. The dog was so cute. Yes really nice.
That is beautiful and perfect. Best one so far. Have totally everything you need in the perfect places
I am in love with your skoolie, it would have everything I’d ever want in a conversion, especially space for the gaming rig! 😝🤓
great ideas - love the drawered pantry - and the bunks and so much more
Wow absolutely love this! Really giving me ideas for my skoolie :) I am currently 17 and live in Colorado. If ya'll end up here at some point, I'd love to get to know you guys and learn more about the tiny life :)
Hey yo I’m 15 and in CA I’m working on my Skoolie right now I wish you the best of luck it’s hard work but so worth it!
That cat area is so cool. How do you keep your cat from running off when you're on the road?
Some pets will just do this on their own, stay near by. Other's you just train them to do so. If your pet have it's own bad behaviors and you can't control them. Either because of the nature of the pet or not good at training the pet to do things it should be doing to be a good behaving pet. I say cat would be the hardest to control. I guess a clicker or some sound to train a cat to stay near the sound that you made.
We have two rescue cats and they are both indoor cats and they absolutely will not run off...(thank goodness!!!)
Depends of the cat for sure. If the cat has a habit of disappearing for adventures before moving to the schoolie...well, that is a disaster waiting to happen.
I saw a video where van people found very friendly ginger cat from a stop place in the middle of nowhere. They cave him a lift to a nearest cat-shelter. Very sad for the owners.
If I would ever be a rv traveler, And had pets..I'd make sure every pet had a tracker ID tag to put on their collar. Hook it up to be on internet and you can see the general area they are in very close. I think they are under from $20-150(avg). They go all the way in range and costs.

Food!
This has got to be one of the most impressive refurbished buses I've seen. Everything so well thought out, and organized for optimum space, and comfort! Really fine workmanship on that bedroom door too!
Awesome build, I love it, there's so much functional space. The animals beds are super cool, this is probably the best bus conversion I have seen. Good luck to you guy's, save money and life the life. x
I love this set up, such a great use of space and very homey. Also her looks like Ashton Kutcher.
Whenever you want to downsize and don't want/need your bus anymore, think of me🙏😬💙
This is gorgeous. One of the best if not the best school bus conversion I have seen. And, I have been binge-watching this kind of stuff.
The BEST skoolie build. Simple but beautiful.
Sweet build except for the bed being positioned “horizontally” rather than vertically (in line with the bus). Crawling over someone to get to the bathroom doesn’t thrill me nor does it excite me to have someone crawling over me to get up. Also, have you ever thought of a shuttle bus? Smaller in size so you can still go anywhere but not as cramped as a Sprinter. There have been some great Sprinter builds (or other models) but it’s seriously narrow for 2 people and 2 pets. But if you go that route I hope you post the video. I’d be interested to see what you do. Oh yeah and there have been many full sized ovens in some of these builds. Really great job, great woodwork!
I'm in love with this bus, so gorgeous. Hope they have a lovely life
I love the modern look to it. Looks spacious
So crazy that I remember as a child in the sixties, all the converted vans and buses. It has come full circle towards the end of my life and I can still appreciate this choice of lifestyle minus the love and peace paintings!
Very nice build! I hope this couple sticks with the schoolie. I think they will be dissatisfied with a Sprinter. The high repair cost and maintenance is why I wouldn't recommend a Sprinter Van. I think they would be in a much better situation buying a Promaster or a Transit if they are determined to do van life and want max space in a van.
Nice to see this. I’m in Illinois as well currently converting a bus of my own!
Lol I'm in Chicago help me how to get one of these lol. 👍🇺🇸
That dog is literally the cutest.
absolutely fantastic build. we rarely see the room for guests and the full size range and clothes washer/dryer. love the custom doors and the pet accommodations. nicely done!
I've seen your tour in a few other places, and I still chose to watch again! It's a beautiful home! Once I'm on the road in mine, I'll hope to cross paths and meet you guys :)
Looking forward to seeing you out there!
He looks like a not goofy Ashton Kutcher
Was thinking he does look like a better looking ashton kutcher
I was thinking the same thing!
Not as smart though.
The bus is very clever.
A bit
Totally lol!
I've been watching these videos and this is one of my top 5 love it
I saw skoolies before and wanted to do. Then got off track. I love what you have done. I’m so ready to go do this. Man I love this
