Jarrod decided to make a big change in his life, stepping away from a successful business to fulfill a deeper calling. He also encouraged me to look into shuttle buses a few months ago and here we are now! He is now converting an ambulance to live and travel in along with his dog, Baily! Check out his rad 4x4 ambulance, conversion tips and vlogs as well as their travels! / unit4816
"WHERE"S THE TOILET??" QUESTION ANSWERED !
instagram.com/p/Bv48ZvZH0hX/
Lavender Moon Spaces hahahaaa you have your very own litter box! Meow!
Thanks!
I was thinking the same thing.!! Where does she store her 5 gal. bucket is the next question..ick.
D
Where is one allowed to dispose of the contents of toilet-bucket-bag?
I have been obsessed with solo living videos on CZcams here lately. I keep thinking its gonna go away and then here you go with this absolutely amazing home. Im just to scared to do it. But boy do I want to.

L
me tooooo
Me too
@LillacStudios Very great advice!
I feel like jumping the band wagon too
All I did was just watched a janelle's video and now all I have is van and bus tour videos in my recommendation:)
@@is2pim
Yeah:)
You’re not alone
@@ashleyrobles7755
Hell yeah!
Zanne gears SAME
SAME
The deep fridge under the counter is GENIUS, I can’t believe more people aren’t doing that!
💕
Danielle Johansen what if you’re cooking and need an ingredient in the fridge but the counter on top has all the cooking supplies on it?
AdeleyDunda I personally get all my ingredients out before I cook, just have to be mindful and know to get out the fridge ingredients first. being in such a tiny space I would imagine there wouldn’t be much to it when cooking and you’d have to be more mindful.
@@danid7243 Yeah, I doubt she is cooking major feasts in there. Worst case you just move some of the stuff to her portable table.
@@adeleydunda You can get a split-top open top freezer, and split the counter/cutting board on top to only open half of it so that you could still access your fridge/freezer while using the counter space on top of one of the halves.
This is the first bus that I’ve seen that I would love to live in .. totally my personality lol
You have done such a great job on your bus.
In fact; once you passed the driver seat ... I forgot it was a bus.
It looked so much like a tiny home.
Best shuttle bus conversion I’ve seen so far. I’ve never understood why more people don’t convert more shuttle/church buses. They are a perfect size, not too big that you can’t maneuver them easily, and not too small that you don’t have enough floor space and storage inside. I see lots of step, box and high top vans - just rarely one of these. The layout and decor are just beautiful. Nice job young lady!
7 miles per gallon. That is why.
Lass-in Angeles do you know why that is? I thought they would be better on gas/fuel?
@@aussican Don't know why they were designed to be so inefficient. I guess because taxpayers are footing the gas bill for schools. Big heavy clumsy engines, tough to turn in spaces, totally wrong for city living, and you cannot drive them far either for travel due to astro gas costs. The only use for a school bus is as a hippie beach pad for surfers or pot smokers who park in some scenic spot for months. Nice and roomy but useless in every other way.
Ditto for Ambulances and Fire Trucks. Mileage in an ambulance can be 4 - 7 miles per gallon! Ambi's are smaller but have loads of built in outside and inside storage in stainless steel. Very nicely built. You can buy one for $3 - $5K at auctions. Unless the mpg is improved, also useless as a van. Building out a van is a HUGE job, like building a house. Investing your time on a cheap inefficient vehicle is like sewing a party dress out of cheap fabric. Waste of materials and time. Get a van that is easy to turn in the city, decent mileage, stealth low profile, compact for parking, and can zoom on the highways, not lumber like a slow truck. You also need load carrying capacity. In some cargo vans like the Transit, they are built for loads in the back. So they are very bouncy when no load, then after build, they are well balanced. Ford Transit is currently my van of choice beating the Mercedes Sprinter and the NV200 and the Dodge Promaster.
Lass-in Angeles - I’ve read that the high top transit has one of the best gasoline mpg’s and the highest interior height as well. Good for me since I’m a very tall gal and have much taller relatives and friends. I’d choose a Transit over a Sprinter or Promaster if I were to do a self build (which may happen one day).
I actually get about 15-20 per gal :)
Your design is amazing. It's clean, well laid out, simple, yet has literally everything you could ever need in a private space. WELL DONE!
I’ve been watching conversions for some time and this is one of the best layouts I’ve ever seen.
I wish you had shown how you shut it down for the night. Like for privacy from the outside etc etc. maybe in future videos! Either way beautiful home!!❤️❤️❤️
Katriz86 definitely, I have curtains I custom made that are insulated and fit in the windows at night.
@@LavenderMoonSpaces i was just thinking some blackout curtains or the pull downs for privacy but i love how the tints on the bus allows you to still get sun in at daytime but still with privacy!!!!. Ive been looking at sprinters and stealth vans and never thought of a shuttle but this is actually perfect for what i want to do with my space. I intend on working while travelling ( i sew make accessories and crochet swimwear ) so i wanted to create a little sewing space. Your "closet" concept would be the perfect thing for me maybe with a pull out table. This is very inspiring i will be following your channel hope u dont mind me using a little inspiration from this
Lavender Moon Spaces hey if you don’t mind...what is the size of the shuttle? what do you estimate was the cost of the bus and the build? My daughter is 6ft could she raise the roof 20inches and it still clear tunnels? What part would you consider giving up for a full bathroom? what company helped with this build? Most important, did you need a CDL to drive the shuttle bus? She’s looking to get one her junior year of college so we are on the investigation trail NOW?
@@levadajohns1710 i can tell you that a shuttle bus has at least 6-8 ceilings
I love the fact she has a perfect shower space and the deep sink and faucet system is awesome as well. Great lux shuttle bus home for sure.
Nice and roomy i think u need you need a limo tint..
I was thinking that 2.
yeah
Errbody watches her party with her disco ball
Emily Marte LOL!
@@LaPlaztique your cute
I think that more people are going to start living out of their vans, etc, because of the high cost of living in some states.
Absolutely!
I'm working on plans currently to live in a van.
This is the MOST EFFICIENT AND WELL DESIGNED Bus I've seen on CZcams . FANTASTIC JOB ... :-)
Leonie B .... Maybe but Sprinters are Tooo, too $$$ & Cost a lot to buy & repair.
Garrison Stanleigh thank you 😊✨
I didn't see a toilet. I am curious what kind you chose and why? Awesome space
@@tinaprettyman-silva2714 She very quickly said the shower was also the bathroom. I can only surmise she has a small portable toilet that fits in the shower space but didn't include it in the video.
Great job? Do you work from your home or do you commute to a location?
Nice!!! Don’t forget your CO2 detector & a couple Fire extinguishers 🧯🧯
D T yess! People need to make this a top comment so she sees this!! Very important to have for Van life! :)
D T thanks y’all 🙏 will do. Thankful for your concerns for my health and safety. Y’all rock.
Why would you want a C02 detector? It would go off every time you breathe
I think what they're getting at is "carbon monoxide".
@@LavenderMoonSpaces A GREAT GIRLY SPACE! This is the first conversion that I've seen that I corks actually live in. Thank you for the inspiration! -San Francisco fan girl
The most cozy bus ever. I love the light coming in through the kitchen window.
EXQUISITE Layout & Style! Oh my gosh.... I would TOTALLY love to have something like this! I really love that giant counter top that lifts AND covers a top-accessible frig! Genius! Plus that deep sink & great faucet handle.... & all the windows for brightness, the open storage & lighting around the top edge - everywhere, actually...is just SO nice! AMPLE storage (I'd keep all my art supplies in it), a freekin shower (although I'd prefer a bit larger & world give up space elsewhere for it.) Color pallette & fabric textures my style (love that big button pillow)... just WOW! TRULY, ... obe of the nicest I've ever seen! Wish I could have one!
this is absolutely beautiful. especially love the large windows surrounding the bed and all the natural light which makes the small space look so open.
Thank you so much! I sincerely appreciate your support and love.
@@LavenderMoonSpaces this is my main inspiration to do my own conversion. the design and layout is amazing.
Beautiful bus. What about window coverings? I love the light but I’d feel like an exhibit in there at times.
I love the bus and the design, but it's missing a toilet lol. I was hoping that she was going to have some kind of composting toilet.
Yes!!! Where is the toilet?? (I'd rather have that than shower)
She said it was in the shower, but she didn't show it.
Showers are equally important to a toilet lol.
Jonathan Pear yeah I have a bucket toilet, use in the shower just wasn’t in this video
@@jonathanpear7361 But easier to manage with gym membership.
Who ever gave this a thumbs down has no no forehead. 😀 Her video is great.
She explains everything so well... you can tell she has her head wrapped around the entire layout of this bus, from the technical elements to design elements. A smart human.
And environmentally responsible too!
We NEED more modern day ‘hippie girls’ like her in this World !!!!
Peace n Love !!!
Thanks for the love and support! Much love :)
Yes we do
She is actually a trendy modern girl !
Living in a tiny bus home and yet she *still* has the most essential thing of every house: a junk drawer!
Rebecca G. Day I thought the exact same thing! Ha!
Light and airy, the windows make it livable 🐈
I love the design of this bus from the deep fridge, the flip-up bed, the big closet, and all the light!
Gloria did a great job designing her beautiful home and explaining the setup and function of the electrical and plumbing aspects. I especially liked the little nook where she stores her table and cutting boards; very clever! Loved it!
Nico 😻🌹😘
First time I've seen a shuttle bus conversion. This is great. Feels spacious.
I think this might be the best van conversion job I have ever seen. Beautiful, and so livable! Great job.
Nico 😘🌹😻
Clean, Neat, Pretty and Cheap. Winning, Winning, . This is so pretty , I wish I had one. Survival and luxury at the same time. I like it.
These could save us from zombie apocalypse, kidding aside. 😂 I just love this masterpiece, wish I could stay there for good. 🤗
I can’t love this enough & that girl looks so much like Emmy Rossum from Shameless. Great job!
I thought so too!
Wow !!! I've never seen such a cozy conversation before girl. You must be sooooo proud of yourself. I LOVE EVERYTHING !!! ♥️♥️♥️
This shuttle bus convertion is the most beautiful perfectly designed bus I have ever seen!! Love it...you go girl. Happy Travels!
Oh Ladybug I just love your little home. I’ve been trying to find a design for almost 5 years. Now I can find my bus and get started. 🤗🥰
Mama Smith this is a little bit random, but I wanted to say, that I really like your art videos and would love to see more of your inspiring videos!
no o Hello Beautiful. I have had series of unfortunate events (love that movie) prohibiting production. We should be back in the swing of things soon. I hope to be a traveling artist within the next few years. 😉
This is by far my favorite design! And I love the decor too! That it is color neutral to switch it up every so often! My fiance and I are looking to do a conversion in the next few months so I've watched several videos! Started with vans but I realized I don't want to feel closed in and claustrophobic like I am so I considered searching shuttle buses and this has me all aboard! I'm in love!
Priscilla Marie so excited for you 😊 thank you 🙏
This is the most amazing build I have seen to date. I love this setup and love all the natural light and windows opens everything up so much. I would love to have this same build in a 4 wheel drive. And what a beautiful young lady she is too. May you enjoy a happy life living in your amazing build.
Cute shower. Nice to have! Good idea butcher block over fridge. Cute kitch tile. Cute sitting area! Bedroom. Great use of space! big windows, bright!
This video was satisfying. She was so organized when she planned this. 🙌🏽
This is one of the best designs for the space. She did a fantastic job with her space, efficiency and design! Good job!
One of my favorite builds ever. Young lady you have good taste 👍 I love the neutral tones and like you say you can change your entire environment with a few pillows, towels and blankets.
Stay safe and love life
Honestly the design is so beautiful it looks better than most apartments I've been in! Great job! & $35k is a steal! Gorgeous, chill and very talented girl! Inspiring work!
Thanks !
you must've worked in restaurant ,. the magnetic knife rack, and the sink with the industrial style valve to switch between sprayer and sink. it's so much better, i always said, once i own a place, i'm definitely gonna have that type of sink and faucet sink. its so much better
michael rea haha yes! I love having the convenience of kitchen devices that serve me well!

This is nice. What about the insulation and security with the doors.
N A insulation is spray foam and I don’t have any special security features on doors although I have some ideas and plan to secure more in future
Best security is a loaded 9 mm!
The Doggie❤❤is a good security alarm I bet🐶🐕❤❤
You need to take care of that security right away. I'm hoping you've already done so. You are a beautiful young woman traveling alone. Please take appropriate measures to provide for your safety!
@@LavenderMoonSpaces Look into security film, it makes most glass virtually entry film
This is the perfect build! I just love it!
Everything you need with lots of storage and space. And it’s even better that you can fit the vehicle into a regular parking spot.
I love it! Well done! ❤️💯
This is the best design I've ever seen! It's so functional yet so beautiful at the same time. I'd live there in a heart beat.
This was a 20 minute video but it felt like 5 minutes.
So entertained! ^u^
My favorite short bus conversion so far! Thank you for the tour. My friend has a short bus that he is gifting me so I've been looking at all the short bus conversions, this has everything you need.
You are special, in a good way. Your home is beautiful, your dogs are also. Wishing you
all the good fortunes out there. Be safe and happy. Peace and love.
I don't normally bother with commenting, but I find myself unable to resist adding my two cents here: THANK YOU, for being someone who actually knows how to do plumbing correctly! (I don't care if you did it yourself, or had someone else do it. It's just finally nice to see someone do it the right way.) Also, the bus looks great. Nicely done!
And yes, I will shamelessly admit that when I eventually build out my own bus, I'll be "borrowing" a few of your design ideas. :)
can you do a video on pricing I'm curious to know what the numbers would be! Thanks great video and use of storage space that was hidden!
I agree! I would love to know about the pricing and what the numbers are like for this type of build/conversion
Thanks for the feedback. I will definitely keep that info in mind for future videos
If you read the video description it says around $30,000
"ImPOR-ant" - The implied internal "t" sound seems common around mid-Michigan (home of the "Spar-Ans"). Regional language and pronunciation is fascinating. Your use of available space and the feeling of lightness is the best I've seen in any conversion, especially considering the size of your bus. Subbed.
Go Green! Go White!
Every inch of the bus means a lot...and has a good purpose. I am so impressed how she was able to produce such an awesome video with such a tiny motor home. Totally love this !
Major props to cameraman that shot of all the overhead storage was so clean. It was like asmr for my eyes. 3:08
Absolutely beautiful!
As a small aside, perhaps consider lowering or removing the background music for future videos. It is a bit distracting, but moreso than that, I found it a little tricky to har what you were saying at times over the music.
Your bus is incredibly beautiful and well thought-out, and speaks for itself! You don't need no music to try and sell it :-)
What a cute young lady. Well thought out space. Love it! Boom, and there we have it, haha. I gave up living in a 26' travel trailer for a small house near my daughters and grands. If I had it to do over again, I'd do something like that. But most of my space would house my giant stash of yarns. : )
AnnWith APlan aw thank ya ! You could definitely store plenty of that under the bed 😊
Lavender Moon Spaces - True. That's where I stored mine, as well as under the couch and dinette benches before I took them out. I can't beat the rent where I am now though haha. : ) And I'm in a spot where I can just bug in if need be. : )
Nice way she got Set up in bus its very liveable . Looks cozy to lay out just nice
I have been watching van/bus conversions for at least a couple years now. I know someday soon, I want to make the move from my 2400 sq ft house to some kind of mobile home, I just never felt like any of the conversions I've seen would fit my lifestyle...until now! You did an incredible job and I could 100% see myself living and being happy in a bus exactly like yours! I have 3 questions?
1. How much did you spend total on the part of the bus and all the conversion?
2. Do you have heating, and more importantly AC (I live in Florida and it is at least 90 degrees 10 months out of the year).
3. What do you do with your dogs when you are at work or out with friends etc?
Nico 😘🌹😻
The bus is amazing. You did an incredible job!!! I love how you kept the windows. I hate all the bus conversions that cover up windows, the windows are what i love about buying a bus rather than an RV. I also love how light and airy you kept things!!
Just a little note,..."conversate" is not a word. The word you are looking for is "converse." 😉😘
OffAirhead nit picking much 😂🤣
@@jumbo_hakdog i am not nitpicking i am simply educating. Many people use the word so it's often learned, just as "ain't" is. If someone doesn't know then they don't know until someone teaches them. If all of her lingual skills came across that way then i wouldn't have said anything but she otherwise came across very educated and intelligent like someone who chooses to be well spoken so I was simply educating her. I wasn't being mean or snarky in anyway.
OffAirhead yea ik u weren't being mean 🤣🤣 thats why i added the emojis lmao 🤣😂
*Hello, hello* what a dreamy schoolie ! very nicely done! congratulations !
Greetings from a tiny country in France (Europe) I wish you all the best for you and your lovely animals
Why have I watched this like 17 times!? Lol.
I always come back for inspiration ☺️
Aww! Thank you
Hands down, the best conversion I've seen in a while. I love the use of a shuttle van, big enough inside but small enough for parking and driving. I definitely want a shuttle bus.
The physical and narrative flow was easy to follow and listen to, that was professional level . Good job . Hmmm , but the music maybe not.
Yeah, that music was a tad too loud.
One of the best utilized small spaces ever, love it.
One of the best shuttle vans conversions...practical, and beautiful
This space is so cute yet full of excellent storage space. It has everything and is so well laid out. Thanks for the tour!
Best conversion for a single person EVER!
Thank you 🙏😊
Nice to see the Hippie Movement is still alive. You brought back memories that started in the summer of 1969. The year and a half that I lived in a "fixed up" Chevy van & traveled the country. Your rig is WAY BETTER than my van ever was!
I love love love this bus !!! I love everything in it. Very nicely done. This is the second bus I would do if I could live in one. May GOD BLESS YOU AND BE SAFE.
WOW! Great video and you knew right off hand this young lady knows her stuff! Enjoyed watching!
Joyce Henderson thanks !
I am very impressed on how you did your home! Out of all the tours I have seen on buses your was the best by far. The shower, with toilet. All that storage space. The refrigerator, the decorating! You did an outstanding job! Best of luck to you!
This is by far my favorite van/bus conversation!
Ethan stuffles thanks !
I swear I am going to do my shuttle bus just like this 😍👍🏿🥰
I keep seeing better built vans almost weekly show up on youtube. Good layout, looks very comfortable to live in.
Hi. So happy to have stumbled across your video, I like your thinking re: using light materials with minimal offgasing; most renos I've seen the DIYers don't seem to take that into consideration, especially the added weight of what they're installing. I'm still researching but I really like the idea of a shuttle bus because of all the windows! Happy trails and much success to you.
Sweet Lavender thank you 🙏😊 yes off gassing was definitely taken into consideration for this small space
Easily one of the nicest and practical van builds I’ve seen
fantastic job. This girl is genius! Obviously not for everyone, but this suits her needs perfectly.
Ok I’ve been watching van conversion videos for the past few days and your home is by far my favorite! You did an amazing job from start to finish. 🙌🏽
This bus is legit awesome! Everything is well thought out and planned. Great job!
Maybe it's a bit too early to ask, but is there a possibility that you might want to sell the shuttle bus someday? I would take him immediately. This is the best and most practical conversion I've ever seen. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 💕
polly von minckwitz yes actually ! I will be putting this up for sale soon 😊
Lavender Moon Spaces how come??
@@victoriadavis7034 to build another cool van?
@@LavenderMoonSpaces beautiful conversion but why are you selling?
@@dustyblue2ify I am guessing this is a way to make a living and sustain herself in this lifestyle
LOVE everything about this bus!!! Especially the pups🐶🐶
I’m lost of words... A gorgeous lady gives a tour in her magnificent home bus/RV (or what ever it’s called). Did no one notice the dream catcher?
As wonderful this built is, I was hypnotised by those magical eyes.
[EDIT] just noticed that this is you YT channel. Just hit your subscribe button
This is the best designed rig I have seen, and beautiful as well.
I absolutely love how her home looks so beautiful yet she is so conscious of how much energy and water she is using so even though she is driving a shuttle bus on which I presume is gas she still tries to have a positive impact on the environment.
One of the BEST ever!!! ✌ I love that the inside is where more of the money is spent. I would look at duplicate this exactly the same way!! 100%!! The lightness and colors. The butcher block, sink, storage!!! All amazing!! Thank you for sharing!!
My personal favourite so far ;D aaamazing , its the light coming in and the large windows I love the most . Absalutly beautiful . Came across your channel through the HAPPY DAYS couple living in MORGAN the big green removal van : ) thank you for this wonderful peek into your world and life and love your dog family and how you wisely have them hooked up by a long lead to your home . Much love from me and my pupper here in Cornwall, UK
This girl is so beautiful and cool. Great space, well thought out.
Love it, and your rescue dog too.
I need to say that this is one of my favorite vans/buses I've seen. The size is perfect.
Great design. Happy to hear that you are so environmentally conscience. And living the dream at such a young age.
This is a great shuttle bus design. I like your use of partial walls.
Thanks so much! I was going to put a full wall but ended up changing it last minute and a so happy I did.
@@@LavenderMoonSpaces Brilliant idea - it's so much better than it would have been with full walls!
Beautiful beautiful bus! Wow! Essential oils should be kept as low as possible. Heat ruins them. So gorgeous
Excellent job girl. I have a class C as my first RV but always liked the shuttle bus. I can see me getting one as my second RV for full time living. Again very smart build and beautiful as well.
the satisfaction in nomad life is printed on her face.
Gorgeous! Well thought out and genius use of space. One of the better designed small buses I have seen.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support.
You're welcome. I have watched tons of bus builds. i have thought of doing a small bus build myself in the future. I was so impressed with yours. For the small space I am amazed at your build and it's so comfortable looking. I hope you have success in your venture : )
Now that was the cutest bus home Ive seen. I Love the amount if storage, outlets, and that bed. Great job👍👍😀😀😀💗💗💗
Damn. Nice van! And I love her personality! Awesome job! Haha.
Yes !!! An awesome shower! ! I love when there is a shower and toilet. I would skip having a kitchenette and be sure that I have a shower in a toilet. She was able to get everything that is so much needed. I love her little home on wheels. I don't want to live in you home under the wheels but I would love to have one when they do my vacation visiting. Or if I wanted to put it in the backyard, and stay in there for a couple of days..hiding from my teenagers 😅😅😅
It’s a gorgeous build, I’m glad it works perfectly for her! I however could never actually live in a build like this, toooooo many windows! Huge security risk and bad for temp regulation
I'm amazed! It's so beautiful, practle and we'll thought out! I'll bet she's going to get request to build one for others!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a perfect van
