- We are an amateur couple who have built our beautiful dream tiny home. In this time lapse we share, start to finish, our bus conversion.
The video covers our 3 years of work in a 28-minute timelapse as we transform our 40-foot MCI bus into the tiny house of our dreams.

In our quest for seeking out a more healthy and sustainable lifestyle, we made a plan that includes zero waste living, tiny home living and full-time travel. We considered buying an RV, looked at trailers and airstreams but settled on doing a bus conversion for our off the grid, tiny house on wheels. We bought a 1996 MCI 102 D3 coach bus and with the Bus Demolition and Interior Shell complete, now we turn it into our Tiny Home on Wheels!

In its previous life, our MCI bus was used as a school bus, although we don't think we can legitimately call it a skoolie. We are confident that converting our bus into a class a motor home will have challenges, but doing a massive overhaul and remodel on a motorhome / RV remodel didn’t seem to align with the off grid bus life we were aiming for.

Having the right tools and the right woman😉 makes it all possible. Enjoy.
You’re absolutely right Ron we couldn’t have done this without each other!
Both of you showed real skill. Not many husbands and wife's work so great together... Stunning
*wives plural 😆
This last CZcams Video is the Best of the Best of all CZcams Videos ever created.
Wow! And this is the best comment and compliment we have ever received on CZcams. Thanks so much Kent. Today hasn't been the best and you just made me smile again.
Wow NOTHING AMATEUR about you guys...consummate pro's!! Clean, organized, planned and executed beautifully. Love the speed-camera and song selection as well...you make a long video seem short. Eye candy construction all the way! Thanks for the inspiration of not only assembling from start to finish but the great family/marriage theme of working together. Amazing!!
You are geniuses. I wouldn't know where to start converting a vehicle in this way. I didn't even know it was possible to put new windows into a bus!
Ребят вы просто молодцы! Супердом получился! Пусть вам в нём будет всегда тепло и уютно!
Thank you
@@Rehabit8 👍
You both did a great job on the bus. The fur baby wasn’t forgotten that’s for sure. Love it. Les from Australia.
Thank you Les
Watched from beginning. It was a long road but you made it. The adventure begins.
woohoo!
My bus isn't quite as done as yours, but we moved into it about a month and a half ago. You guys truly are incredible designers and have built so much functionality into your bus! I feel like we built a decent amount of functionality into ours but yours is on an entirely different level. Kudos to you!
Wow, thank you! I'm sure yours is uniquely yours and that makes it just as special.
Sioux is still building her van here in the U.K you can see all the half finished bits on all her solo vlogs on our channel. It will get finished one day and surprise our viewers. Lol
I've been building motorhome RV's since 1985, this had to have been the most impressive build I've ever seen. The workmanship, the attention to detail and the utilization of every square inch just blew me away. The wine racks....drawers(?) under the kitchen cabinets was genius. As a new subscriber I look forward to watching the detailed videos of the build.
Thank you for the kind words Scott, we are thrilled to have you as a subscriber. :)
The interior design skills are immaculate...I'm only 19 but I see my self doing this with my wife in the far future after retirement
Thank you! You should do it!
WOW! Incredibly talented hard working couple. You can be proud of yourselves!
Thank you so much!
I can’t even begin to express how proud we are of you guys!!!!! SO CLOSE TO FINISH!!!
Thanks Leah 🤗
AMAZING WORK THAT WAS PUT INTO THIS TRANSFORMATION
Thank you!
You both are very hard working and brave couple I have ever seen. Good luck with your proudly invented RV👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹
Thank you very much!
how in the world are you soooo educated in every aspect of this build??? plumber, electrician, designer, an architect and whatever i missed!!! such a great and beautiful build!!!
Thank you Gabe, we just learned as we went :)
Just watched this build and I am flabbergasted at the time and care you put into this. Truly a masterpiece! I applaud you both for your vision and creativity. Wowzers. Stunning.

Took the words from my mouth! Thanks for saying that, anyway, your comment is the best 👍💯
dude said flabbergasted lol i havent seen that word in years but i couldnt agree more!
I concur. Truely amazing.
WOW I am so SO jealous !!! I will try to enjoy this watching you guys !!! Beautiful new home...and being able to travel ANYWHERE well Like I said WOW !!
Glad the inspection approved by your four legged companion. Enjoyed watching and the good memories to come. ❤❤❤
I can't wait to get my bus and start designing it!
Hello 👋 how’re you doing?
The bus is really beautiful. there have been some parts along the way that I wondered what you were doing but it soon became clear, Every single stage needed imagination, planning, working out how to incorporate it, designing and installing, you have both worked so hard and the results are amazing, When you first took out the window and put sheet metal up I thought you had gone crazy, but just look how beautiful you have made it. Thank you so much for sharing this all, well done on a fantastic job,
Ha ha Barry! There were times we looked at it and went 'oh no what are we doing' LOL but we trusted in the process and the vision and made it happen. Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride :)

You guys have some mad skills here. The planning of the project, materials, design, fasteners, waterproofing, insulation, durability must have been enormous, you must be an engineer or something. Im sure it must be very rewarding making your this creation for your full time adventure. You must me and engineer or something to do such a great job planning and executing on such a huge project. I also use fusion 360 for designing 3d printing projects for the 3d printer i keep in the RV. I wish i had the time to check out the bus when I met you at angostura. Hopefully we will connect and I will get a chance to see all the stuff from this video. I cant believe you guys filmed the whole project. I understand how hard it is to film projects like this when you just want to get it done. First time I ever watched a 30 minute video beginning to end. Awesome job. Larry
Thanks so much Larry! We had no experience with any of this. We learned on the job. It was a huge project and filming it all slowed the process down, as you know the work that goes into filming and editing. But we love making these videos so it was all work it! Definitely need to hang out next time we cross paths on the road.

@@Rehabit8 that’s inspiring to hear. Lovely with. ❤😊
I'm sorry but this made me cry. I'm crying because I know soon an very soon, this is where my children and I will be. I got really excited as they were putting in the solar pannels. I can't wait have my tiny home on wheels.Awesome job, and thank you for your motivation.
You got this! 🙌 it’s not easy but when you are motivated you will get there. And it’s so worth it in the end
I absolutely LOVE everything about this bus! The custom finishes are gorgeous and living life on the road has to be beautiful for the soul!
Thank you so much!
in my opinion and from all the deep dive tiny home living builds and conversion videos I've seen, this is no doubt the best bus build I've seen so far. you guys put in a lot of time and work and it looks really really good! especially the bathroom I'm surprised to see it turned out really nice and modern because the other ones I've seen weren't as good, to say the least.... also I love how you took into account everyone in your family, like adding a lil something for that lil cat! very creative! anyways, congrats!!
oh wow! Thank you so much. We really did pour our hearts and souls into it.
Indeed the video is good. I have the feeling this little home is too hot for summer and too cold at night and winter. I hope I am wrong. Anyway it's a very comprehensive video.
@@aerix12345 if built correctly, it can stay warm and cool just like a home. From what the video showed, it looks as if it will be chilly come winter. Summer? Who knows. But that "R" value looked weak that they used
Jesus is the only way to healing, restoration and salvation to all souls. Please turn to him and he will change your life, depression into delight, soul heading from hell to heaven all because of what he did on the cross

Wow you guys, look's amazing.Love it inside and out.
Hello 👋how’re you doing?
You've built an amazing home! Congratulations and safe travels!
Thank you so much!
This is hands down my fave bus convo to date 👌😍😍😍😍😍🥲🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙌
Wow! I've been waiting to hear from you guys and you didn't disappoint. So happy for you both & looking forward to more to come❤️
That bus is SUPER solid!!😆 It has been an amazing journey to watch from start to (almost) finish, thank you for sharing so much of yourselves along with this epic, elephantine project!
I feel like we maybe should have called the bus super solid....ha ha!
czcams.com/channels/2VqoTD7YJBav_B2e-3yiEA.htmlvideos😀
Its not only a bus, for me this is a home full of love, care, passion, consistency, integrity, bless, fun, adventure, inspire, and last but not least, it is a dream come true :)
Bless you all
Freaking amazing. Tons of engineering skills, love and effort to the project. Well done!
Thank you!
AWESOME PERFECT WORK.....😁👌👍
Молодцы,огромный труд проделан не зря.все очень круто.получается в новом доме можно жить теперь вообще постоянно.круто.👍👍👍
мне только не совсем понятно, в чем сложность сан.узел закрытый с дверьми сделать? решил такой покушать, подходишь к холодильнику, а за ним в проходе кто-то сидит и срет... 😐
Putting drawers underneath the kitchen cabinets is pure genius. I’m looking at mine now thinking if I can install them.
So glad you like them! We thought we were pretty clever ourselves 😂
It’s beautiful I’m amazed at all the details you put into your home! The hidden gems. You two have been through so much the past three years but you’ve grown together and with loving 🥰 support from family and friends they can all take pride in the finished product!
Thank so much!!!
A fab series and a great build to watch! Well done all! Can’t wait to see the outside transformation!
Thanks for watching!
I'm glad that in Germany we have the TÜV, a VDE, an UVV, the DIN/EN standard, the VDI and the ABE.
What an incredible build i absolutely love it, they should feel very proud & i wish them every happiness in this bus together 😊
I'm so happy for you guys and so proud of you both. I know it has been a long, hard, exhausting and emotional journey, but look at y'all now. So worth all the sweat and tears!! I've been watching since day 1 and cannot wait for more adventures to follow. God bless🙏

So glad for you guys finally getting it “almost” done.
Not knocking your style, but speaking from experience with our build… the bathroom door is a serious game changer. The wife and I went 6 months before finally adding the door and oh boy what a difference! (Especially with the dirt toilet)
Best of luck for you two!
Thank you! 🤣 we are doing ok with out it, but if we every want guests over we'll have to get that door on!
Ugh gross 🤢
Whatever works for you, it's your home. I went with a completely separated bathroom, though it's not even close to finished, lol.
Wow! Three years! Now THAT'S dedication!
Yeah so glad 😊 to see 👀 y'all I been missing y'all 💗
Wow a lot of hard work but it looks absolutely amazing, you have built a beautiful home x
Hello 👋 how’re you doing?
This was nice to look at. It’s fun seeing the beginning again. You all did it and it is beautiful. You finished 💪🏽!
It turned out great, at first I didn’t understand why such a big bus, but the result is simple 👍
Wow, love your work 👍🏼🤍 perfect duo’s 🌹
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow I truly enjoyed watching you guys build your home. It looks cozy spacious and of course your fur baby loves it. You really did a great job with the space that you had. It looks so warm and livable. Please do more videos. I loved it. Congratulations on your new home. Happy trails.
ayin
Loved it! Congratulations to you both! Waiting for your travels! Hope you two have great time together ❤️ enjoying life!

Hi Theosis, We are so comfortable living in the bus thanks for your support his comment
Невероятная работа! Ну какие оба молодцы!!!
Absolutely amazing! You two are machines! Can’t wait to see your travels. The bus is beautiful
Thank you
@@Rehabit8 omg those gaskets over the new windows come off then reinstall your ot spposed to drill through them 😰
Great to see the whole project in one go, it just proves how hard you both have worked to achieve a fabulous home. I’m so happy for you, huge congratulations.❤️
Thank you so much!
WOW...ITS BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I never skipped the whole time.. such an inspiration..
I am super impressed with your vision, technical skills, and persistence! The outcome was certainly worth it! (Great music and editing too, btw!)
Thanks Thomas! It was a lot of work editing down 3 years of videos into 1/2 an hour, so appreciate the compliment
Fascinating to watch! I love the kitty accommodations! So clever!
Thank you
Der erste umbau, wo wirklich top ist. Ihr habt auch passendes Equipment und Möglichkeiten mit cnc ect. Und hochfahren vom bett und auch platz fur 2 rader . Genau sowas suchte ich
Very nice 💖🧑🤝🧑🕊️🦚🕊️🦚🕊️🦚🕊️🙏🇮🇳
It must be delicious when one of you sleeps and the second one goes 0,5 meter away and shts there brown rain without doors.
Oh the jealousy is strong with you 💩
They’ve must’ve done it because they’re comfortable with it, it’s ok you’re not. You don’t live there. I was amazing to watch this journey for them I watched every episode. Don’t ruin it for people who didn’t.
I agree that I think the bathroom could be more enclosed, separate from the other living spaces. Might be slightly uncomfortable if they had guests or someone was desperate and asked to use their bathroom.
Siblings are damn close to do that
I can't wait to travel with y'all thank you 💓 💗 💕
yay! us too
Having this type of ability is something to strive for. Very nice!
Вы классная пара! Хорошо что вы есть! Удачи вам во всем !❤
I always want to have a nice car just like yours. Seeing the car from thousands mile away give joy and Pleasure. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩
Thank you
WOW thanks never knew you had to take down to the bare bones of it. WOW hard work.
Ohhhh the indoor gym/hatch ladder got me haha. I was not expecting that. Sweet!
🙌
this is the coolest set up. great build
Вravo, super busy 👏🏻
Посмотрел видео с удовольствием. Желаю вам ярких моментов и впечатлений от путешествий. Пусть на вашем пути вам всегда встречаются только добрые люди. Такие светлые и лучезарные, как вы сами. Счастья Вам и всего самого наилучшего. С большим💙❤️ теплом из России 🇷🇺
you did a very good job, your effort and time you spend will give you pleasure as x100, I enjoyed watching it a lot, thank you
I can't wait to see you future journeys in your Amazing Bus
Welcome to our channel
I must say I was surprised how much of the bus build I'd watched. It looks FANTASTIC! Can't wait to see how the outside turns out. And of course to follow along on your journeys!
Felt as if those 28 minutes was the best that i invested on a video. Great job guys and I know it took a lot of efforts to get this done, great job...
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks so much
Totally skilled couple well done you... lots of hours dedication and graft gone into this... WOW!!
Thank you!
You two are unbelievable!!!!! Amazing watching from start to finish!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I immediately subscribed. Can’t wait to see another one! I have such a healthy respect for what creative, resourceful people do with their talents!
Bad azz ! All the comforts of home on wheels. You can literally pull up stakes and leave when you get ready for whatever reason bad people, bad weather, bad vibes, west coast, east coast, points between & beyond, north or south. Life is to be enjoyed !
I envy you guys. What a team work. My dream one day I will have one just like yours. A tiny home. From the Philippines. Joe
Great job renovating your bus
Thanks!
Beautiful Floors!!!
You have done really beautiful and great job. Congratulations. May God gives your home peace and harmony.
The best !!! Congratulations from Europe ( France).
Wow. Just wow.
I'm going to do a rebuild of a Vanhool C2145 bus. I've enjoyed watching all the others who have gone before me. I've learned so much, and yet I've learned there's so much more that I still need to learn... LOL
Thanks for the video guys this was great!
Amazing build, God Bless your journey love’s 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you so much 🤗
YOU DID IT …YEA! When you look back over your volume of work you can be truly proud of the outcome and journey you took. The planning, the skills learned, the frustrations, the joys, the challenges, the great videography record you have, so many things have come together through your minds and hands to make this a fantastic home on wheels. I love how you did it together and shared with honesty. Thank you allowing me to be a part of your journey so far. Looking forward to the next chapter when you start moving it around for new adventures 😀
Hi GEORGE thanks for all the support I’m glad you’ve been following along can’t wait to share the next part of the journey
