VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Ave and Des are a young married couple that dove into building their dream rig for a life of adventure on the road. This Thomas skoolie is a gorgeous DIY build! The modern layout is open and bright as they kept as many of the windows as possible and decorated with light colors. The Walnut, Oak, and Osage Orangewood were gathered from a local farm and used throughout the bus.
The tile and stonework in the bathroom are stunning and accentuate the small roof-raise allowing for space in the shower. Ave and Des chose to keep the wheelchair lift for easy access to the garage, storing a moped and other outdoor gear. You can imagine the many sunset views these two explorers have enjoyed from the 14ft roof deck!

They look like teenagers. This is really a beautiful conversion. The bathroom is really spacious for a bus. Good job. Beautiful youths. Hope they stay together for ever
As a grandma, I want to say I can't decide which is more lovely, your home or you two as a couple.
I'm with you on both counts @Bess9779
Yes they are so cute!
For a couple of young people
that didn't know what they were doing,
you both did a fantastic job!
Your house on wheels is beautiful! 😍
You know what is even better than your bus build? The obvious chemistry you two share. Even the way you laugh when the other says something funny and the pride you take in each other. I wish you a LONG and happy life together and keep living the dream in your beautiful home.
This is one of the nicest conversions I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot of them. Very homey and well thought out. Beautiful.
Yes I was just about to comment the Exact same thing….. wow it’s amazing how creative ppl are I. Their own space that’s the cool thing about conversions you make it your own
I agree with you it is awesome.. ❤️
exactly what I was about to type..... Well done your hard work paid off you've a beautiful home
czcams.com/video/lHoOExIjzN4/video.html
Very nice
Hands down the neatest, cleanest, most spacious, light, bright and practical bus conversion I've ever seen! Flawless! Love it! Love the bathroom, it's a proper bathroom! Proper decent sofas too, not just storage blocks and hard foam that is not a very deep space for sitting, from your back to your knees, like most of them! You can really comfortably "lounge" in your lounge, not forced to sit bolt upright! That's a really wide walkway too between the sofas, surprisingly roomy in there! Love the light neutral tones and unfussy decor throughout. Who needs art with all those windows anyhow! Definitely the nicest I've seen so far in all aspects. Well done! 😘
Beautiful job with this bus!! Very ingenious compartments, ideas. ❤
I was going to replay but I can't say it any better than you did right here. It's perfect. I particularly liked the slide out solar panels. I will be doing this in my next build.
@@freeman-1776 I'll be moving in when you're done! 😘
Yes!! I agree completely
I agree. Well said!!!
This couple looks exactly like brother and sister. YIKES!
This is the best conversion i've ever seen. Some conversions give me anxiety, this conversion screams peace. It's so welcoming and pleasing to the eyes. You did a wonderful job. Well done to you both.
I don't usually comment on these videos, but this build deserves honorable mention. It's very well thought out, tastefully decorated, and absolutely beautiful. Bravo! Safe and happy journeys to you!
Totally agree with you...
Hands DOWN - this is one of the BEST conversions! So well thought out, the look, the innovative ideas, to the closet spaces, the bathroom, the style! You nailed it!
Agree
This is about the best tiny home bus conversion I’ve ever seen…. Your use of space was very well thought out actually some of your planning was ingenious! It looks actually like a minimal style home! Excellent job!!😉
Hello Tonya 👋
Holy cow this is the loveliest bus build I’ve ever seen and that bathroom is amazingly giant! Color scheme is so soothing and light it literally looks like a model home.
After I got over how adorable they look together, I was able to focus on how beautiful their conversion was. Excellent job❤
Kia, I thought I was the only one😊
Right??!!
i know right ! ;D
Agreed!! Match made in heaven!!
Me too 😜 I was thinking beautiful couple living in a beautiful home 💕
This is just the best I have EVER seen. So well done, the design, the colors, the thought put into this home, is amazing.!! So Well Done!
Agreed!!
I agree. It is stunningly beautiful and love the lighting . I just think every single choice was the best possible choice you could have picked.
I absolutely love this bus conversion! The lighter colors including all of the white are exactly what I would have chosen too. Having the skylight in the bathroom I am sure was well worth the effort to install it. This is the first conversion I have seen where some of the solar panels slide out for use. This couple has implemented so many good ideas into their traveling home! Something I thought was particularly interesting was when I discovered the wheelchair lift originally included had been retained. I use a motorized chair these days and I love to travel. Something like this home with a few modifications that would allow for my chair could be my ticket to being able to travel now in my retirement! Thank you both so much for uploading this video to CZcams! Your home proves travel to be enjoyed is within the realm of possibility for even those who deal with physical challenges! You are such a lovely couple with a zest for exploration. I wish you good times and good fortune in your travels!
You ACTUALLY should have started off this post with, "I ACTUALLY love this bus conversion!"
Hi Elizabeth
I love to look at the various skoolies, short and long versions. I've seen a few where the owner uses a wheelchair for mobility so your dream is a possibility. I have also seen a couple of box type vans with cargo lifts for the same reason. Best wishes to you!!
Rebecca 😊
I've seen alot of van and skoolie builds and this is by far the best - it's gorgeous! So light and airy, feels and looks like a sace you want to spend time in. Loved the solar panel idea, the under-counter fridge/freezer, raised roof in the bathroom and the glass frosted door, the unintrusive lighting and furnishing - all great ideas that I would love to encorporate (steal!!!) when I build out my own. Absolutely stellar job x
Without a doubt, this is the most ingenious use of space I've ever seen in a school bus conversion. I'm blown away by the sink faucet that turns into an outside shower. I also love the way the cubbies are hanging under the bed. I'm sure you two spent hours planning such a beautiful and functional home. Thanks for showing it to me. Diane in NC
Woah! I’ve watched tons of bus builds and this one is my favorite out of all of them. Just stunning!! 💕
Stunning. The white interior makes everything so bright and attractive. The kitchen swivel faucet idea is genius.
For y’all being so young, this is a classy beautiful conversion. I love y’all’s taste. I love the light colors & choices of wood, tile & river rock. Very well thought of. I think my fave is the bathroom bc it looks the most like a “normal” size bathroom in any RV conversion I’ve ever seen. I also love the queen mattress made into a sofa bed & the temperpedic mattress in the master. Plus storage cubbies & power outlets everywhere. What a dream. Not to mention the kitchen & appliances. Excellent job & happy travels❣️
Hello Mac 👋
My wife and I have watched hundreds of these and this has taken the number one spot for me. There are so many amazing design ideas that I am going to go back to watch again and write them down for future use. The multi-purpose couch, bed, dining table is such a tremendous use of space and design. The one thing I hoped to see was the bed/table base and where you store it. The fact it converts to be both bed and table base is another great design and engineering idea. You are both amazing and make me wish we had started on one 30 years ago, but that wasn’t the plan for us so now it’s part of our retirement plan. Thanks for the inspiration and your of your beautiful home.
They store it under the couch from what I saw. I agree with you that it is an amazing use of space!
@@amyfmc1 I saw the table under there but I didn't see the metal supports though they may be there.
This is the nicest bus redo. So much light! Good job!!🌺
same ;D I watch so many but this BABY is my all time favourite a real work of love
Kitchen faucet outdoor shower! Wow!!
Gorgeous gorgeous light filled skoolie. Floor plan and design choices are impeccable. The slide out solar panels , what can I say, a stroke of genius!
The young man’s beautiful soul is in his eyes! You both created a beautiful home!
A stunning bus conversion. Love the tiles and light colours throughout. Shelves with plants and LED lights really lovely. The shower with the skylight is unique. Congratulations on an incredible build.
This is the first time I have ever seen a beautifully built RV home... It looks like heaven...
Unbelievably amazing!! These two thought of everything you could ever want in a home on wheels. Actually, they thought of everything you probably never even knew you wanted. I have seen probably almost every video on CZcams regarding any type of tiny house or conversion you can think of, & I have the playlists to prove it. This bus/tiny house is the most beautiful & honestly the most perfectly flawless conversion I have ever seen. And then I see the garage & it has a lift for their scooter. I don't want to leave out the back deck or the roof top deck. They also came up with the best idea I have ever seen with the stacked & slide out solar panels. They are absolutely brilliant! I don't know how they pulled this off with no experience or training. They have the skills and talent to start their own business converting probably anything into tiny homes. If they do, I would really love to see what they come up with next! Nice job you two!! I see a hugely successful future for you both! 💕💕💕
He said from the start that his Dad is on construction and he was the one who did it.
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 They all worked on it, not just his dad!!! It was definitely a labor of love💖✌🏻
YES . . . a family labor of love ! 😙
"thought of everything"? um no. Where do i park my cars? Where is the shop? good luck when my grand kids come to visit. This is great for someone WANTING this life style. But NOT what everyone wants.
I couldn't have said it better! I have the playlists too! LOL!!! Glad I'm not the only one lol,,,Yes! Brilliantly beautiful build!
Most underrated conversion! Y’all made an excellent use of your space. Congratulations 🎉
This is one of the most light and bright bus builds that I have ever seen. It’s absolutely beautiful!
Hands-down, this is the most beautiful bus conversion I have ever seen. Such a lovely couple too!
Hi 👋 dear, how are you doing?
this has to be one of the most brilliant bus builds i've seen on youtube, and i've literally seen probably hundreds at this point! just simply stellar! you guys should be so proud!
Your man's hair shouldn't be longer than yours!
@@kimbrundige6320 they are both beautiful,
@@kimbrundige6320 but it's so pretty!
@@kimbrundige6320 I was thinking the same. When my husband had long hair 50 years ago, mine was longer than his.
Cute couple and beautiful home.
What a gorgeous home you two created. I love the light airyness of it. It's spacious, comfortable, and inviting. You two nailed it! May your journeys be all you hoped they'll be; may challenges be minimal (or at least worthwhile;) and may you two grow more and more in the faith, trust, sacrifice, and joy for each other.
This bus is bigger than most people's tiny homes, and it doesn't require all the same hauling difficulties. VERY smart use of space here. Super impressive.
This is the most beautiful, clean, well thought out, organized RV bus conversion I've seen yet. These two are so talented. And it has a garage, wow
I keep finding videos of conversions and I say... "ok, this is my favorite"... but now I can say for this one.. "it's my favorite". Gorgeously done. Love the brightness and love all the windows. I drove school buses for about 15 years and it was an easy thing for me also participating in school bus road-e-o's and winning. I really want to live this way (I'm now 66) and want to get into warmer climates and be able to change up my views. Awesome job you guys!
Hi 👋 Kathy, how are you doing?
Very impressed by this couple and the man’s father who thought of everything and created this masterpiece. Best schoolie I’ve seen, beautiful Design work and brilliant engineering, and it’s a full house on wheels, amazing. God bless them, they’re adorable.
So well thought out. The way you have kept all the windows, so much light. Your shower with the raised roof, skylight window, glass door and so much room is brilliant. Congrats, you have done a wonderful job on your bus. Your parents must be very proud of your efforts
I've watched dozens, if not hundreds, of videos about van conversions and bus conversions and this has to be the most beautiful, well thought-out and practical one of them all.
I have seen TONS of bus remodels and you guys have done the best! The decorating is unbelievable! I love it love it love it! You two are a darling couple. Hope you are enjoying your journey and keep loving each other! Warm wishes from California!
The whole interior is serene, classy and spot-on for the ultimate creature comfort. It's beautiful!
The entire bus is absolutely amazing, but the shower won me over for sure!
It's so refreshing to see such a young and talented couple pursue their dreams and work towards them together. You are both great learners & natural designers, and I think your conversion is priceless.
Wishing you both a long life together, full of health & love. 🙏
Wow!a beautiful couple and exquisite build! Love all the white and light colors! Great sofa/bed/table idea!love the bathroom too!
Absolutely the best conversion I've ever seen. It's so beautiful, yet so functional! Everything about it is well though out. I wish you both many, many years of happiness in your awesome home on wheels!!!
I wasn't going to watch another build but I have to say wow, I am over the moon at what you two have done! It's so gorgeous there are no words! I hope you both have many, many days and nights of happiness at your achievement! Good for you!
This is absolutely stunning. Extremely well designed and a well thought out use of space. Gorgeous!
*That kitchen sink faucet that transforms into an outdoor shower is everything!!* Love it! The entire design is beautiful, sleek, and minimalist which is ideal for a small space. Nice job!
I have that sink in my kitchen and LOVE it!! Beautiful work all over!
I really like the minimalist look. Sadly, my husband doesn't
This is my absolute favorite conversion I’ve seen so far, they did a fabulous job 👍❤️
Just found your channel and I have to say it's drop dead gorgeous,so light and airy yet still looks comfortable,it's a credit to you both,my wife and I are completely blown away,
Thanks for letting us into your home.
Regards from Hereford UK
This couple has a humble genius to them
Wow his hair is prettier than hers! Beautiful design. Very livable.
THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST CONVERSION I HAVE SEEN!!! YOU GUYS DID AN AWESOME JOB.
What a sweet couple! And they did a magnificent job on this build! Quite impressive. Stay safe on your travels. xo
This is one of the prettiest buses I've ever seen. Each inch of space was well thought out, Great Job!!! I love this bus.
Wow! Stunningly beautiful bus.
I wouldn't change a thing.
Dad definitely came into play with his building skills.
It's great they learned how to DIY.
One can never have enough skills.
The stove.
Ah yes, appliances were either brown or avocado green back then.
I remember it well.
These kids are set!
I wish them all the best.
Safe travels.
Thanks for the tour.
Hi 👋 Chereese, how are you?
This is by far, the most incredible, beautiful bus build I have ever seen. The only thing I would have an issue with is making the bed, sheets, etc.,, as it's tucked in all 4 corners, but it is amazing. Thank you for the video.
I agree. So well laid out, so open and bright. The moped garage was a surprise. Even the slide out solar panels. Brilliant!
I thought the same, but
they do make sheets that zip up now.
I would go with something like that.
@@Chereese0808 I've been looking at the Beddys that zip.
I think this is such an awesome bus conversion and I love that two young people worked at it so hard to make it so beautiful. No shortcuts, a lot of thought put into it and I think this is one of my favorites! Well done!!
Hello Tina 👋
I'm from NW Wichita, I know that area well. We are now in WA. My son, who was born in Wichita, and we often visited Wichita to see grandparents. He just got a bus, here, that needs a lot of work. ......I've viewed many bus builds, thru the years, all remarkable, but love your aesthetics, so I shared it with him. .
Love this bus! This couple's aesthetics and organization skills are amazing. Definitely a place you can call home. 🏠
Ok, I'm gonna need you two to come decorate my house. This is just so serene! Gorgeous, gorgeous build!
You two are just adorable and your rig, WOW! Such a well planned design. Awesome job!
I like that all the windows were saved!
Can’t find any fault with this one at all love everything about it plenty of room beautifully decorated nice big bathroom well done great build and even a moped ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wowwwww i think this is literally the BEST tiny house/bus I’ve seen thus far…. and I’ve seen ALOT 😍😍 Very great uses of space. Has a very clean and open look! I think the coolest thing of this build has to be the sink that doubles as an outside shower. Super cool! I will be using this as a blueprint for when i build mine in the future.
This is absolutely gorgeous! It's such a warm, inviting home. The best conversion I've ever seen!
The bus is just lovely and completely functional. Well done. Keep living your best life.
Such a sweet couple. I liked their different choices for not having shelves over the kitchen that keeps the area less claustrophobic. The toilet/shower area really has a wow feel with the open area and nice tile design. Having the skylight and raised roof for the shower really brightens up and opens up the area and also helps vent the steam/moisture from the shower. The sliding glass door is simple yet is also esthetically pretty idea for the door. Their "garage was a genius idea for storing bikes/motorbikes. Usually having couches on both sides of a slim area would look and feel crowded but the choice of colors and the sizing of the couches and the pillows was not only practical for guest sleeping but it feels comfy, cozy and inviting to look at than crowded. It really shows that there are many options that you can choose to have or not have in tiny living that still works. As the years go by, I'm seeing that tiny living can be custom made for almost anyone if they really want it.
This has to be one of my all time favorite bus transformation to a home. Love how open and bright the inside is, makes it look so much bigger inside.They did a fantastic job making this a beautiful home. Love everything they have done to make it homey. The bathroom is really nice and how they make the couches out of a mattress. Very clever idea.
Honestly, I've been watching hundreds of videos for my retirement and wanting to do this, but this is by far the best I have seen, thank you for sharing I learned alot, most amazing, God bless
The finest aesthetic for a bus / Rev conversion that I have ever seen. The kitchen faucet / outdoor shower is a truly original idea that made me laugh and that I love.
This is a marriage that will last forever!! Refreshing to see these days!!
This is such a beautiful build. I think it just might be the nicest build ive ever seen!! I love the entire build. The bathroom is enormous and so well thought out. The glass door is the first ive seen so far. Fabulous!! I think there will be a lot of people wanting to copy a great deal of your build. Im very impressed!
Thank you very much for sharing.
Be safe, stay well and God bless
🙏🙂
Love the kitchen sink faucet / outdoor summer shower! 😁👍🏻 AMAZING! A tip: Built in designer latches (same design as the handles) for the cabinet doors and drawers for staying shut during driving. Or any cheap plastic child proofing stops could work as well. I think Ikea has them. ☺ I love how spacious, minimalistic, bright and light the interior is. Love the color scheme you chose, inside and outside, as well! Good job! You can design and remake old vehicles for business, y'all! I'd happily entrust my old clunker for a remodel to you guys! No kidding! 😁
With the right partner,, you can accomplish anything!! This is beautiful.
LOVE the "dual-purpose weapon" of kitchen faucet/outdoor shower l
Proud of you two.
Without a doubt this is the most beautiful, well thought out and efficiently designed conversion I have ever seen. You outperform professionals in every way and I wish you joy of your hard work and thoughtful and inspiring vision. Thank you.
This is honestly one of the best conversions ever!!! The hamper is so clever!
As we live in a city where house is all we can say "own" but the lot uh never, this is a awesome and beautiful inspiration. Whoever invented the bus home really genius. I wish I could have that one day w/ my family 🥺🥰👏👏👏👉👈
This is the nicest bus I have seen so far. Love the way they did the shower, love the couches, kitchen, etc. Everything is beautiful.
I watch these all day long in different avenues and by far, by a long shot this is my favorite one. I love everything about it. This couple should win some kind of award for this build.
Way to go guys. A+++
Great Build! :D love the slide out solar panels
Kudos to you, Avery, and Destiny. Y'all have done an amazing job with this bus conversion. It's FABULOUS!
This is the best thought out and executed build I’ve seen to date. You two did a remarkable job. You both look extremely happy and seem to really enjoy your build. Congrats and sending you the best wishes.
One of the best designs I've seen so far! Using the lift area for a garage instead of the bedroom was such a good idea. The living/dining/kitchen area is so simple looking, but so well thought out, and the end result is just beautiful. The faucet also being the outdoor shower just put this over the top! Such a great idea!
This IS absolutely my all time favorite. What a beautiful build by two beautiful young people. And might I add you both have beautiful hair! 😉
Hello 👋 dear, how are you doing?
I have seen ALOT of schoolys. Yours is the nicest I’ve seen. Spacious, clean, bright and peaceful
I'm 65 & if I could turn back the clock to the 70's when I was a young single mom before my daughter died, i could see myself & my daughter living in a similar kind of old school bus tho it wouldn't of been as fancy as yours but easily put together with things from 2nd hand shops to be sort of eclectic but in earth tones. You would of easily fit into the 70's. Thanks for a beautiful tour of your home.
This is the nicest conversion bus I've seen. Everything is modern, warm and beautifully decorated. Also everything looks high end. I would live there in a
hartbeat! Great job ya'll!
Typically when viewing the vast numbers of bus conversions I find myself thinking of modifications I would make if it were my bus/home, not so with your home. Congrats on the finish product, you both did a marvelous job with design, color schemes and ingenuity with the solar and garage design.
The only other thing you could possibly want is a washer/dryer combo. And maybe a TV or monitor for movies. This is by far the nicest conversion I've seen!
Your home is lovely. You did a wonderful job. Your parents must be very proud of you. A young couple making their own home and setting out on an adventure, bus life! May God bless you both with good health, and a long and happy marriage. Safe journeying.😊❤
I think this may just be the most beautiful bus conversion I’ve seen!
By FAR the most beautiful bus I've seen!💗 It's so clean and bright inside. Well done, indeed.
This was so well thought out. Way nicer then any home I've ever had. Definitely my favorite tiny house bus
So pretty... I actually kinda started choking up, I would've loved to do something like that at their age... That their folks encouraged them and assisted with knowledge shared... My parents always told me to live like everyone else, not to bother them with stupid flights of fancy, basically sit down and shut up. I'm so happy that this younger generation are being encouraged to live life on their terms. God bless these kids💗💗💗
Best bus transformation I’ve ever seen.
Guys, amazing job! Love the thought you put into it all. The entry with quartz steps/tiles and it all being so easy to maintain, leather paint for the chair, semi covering front panels with wood and the little utensil drawer by the sink to name a few!
Troubleshooting and ingenuity at its finest!
WOW! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Gorgeous and every single ounce of space has been utilized. Beautiful decor and the windows make it seem so much bigger! I'd live in this in a heartbeat! GREAT JOB!
Hi 👋 Lisa, how are you doing?
This is one of the nicest conversions ever. So calming and soothing decor.
This is the first time I’ve seen someone refer to a garage in a skoolie, and it ACTUALLY be a garage 😂
beautiful conversion, I’m in love 😍
This is definitely the best bus conversion I seen on CZcams. It is beautiful and homily. Thanks for sharing 👍 🥰
Hi 👋 Diane, how are you?
This is my favourite bus build yet! So beautiful, so well thought out! Absolutely in love with it!
If I were younger I would enjoy this, it’s a really beautiful home.
Honestly this is the nicest bus remodel I have seen. If I were going to go this route, I would want it just like yours.
