VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Sylvie and Yvan live their adventurous lives in a converted 1973 GMC 4905A bus. With a rebuilt engine and immaculate front dash, it's obvious the amount of time and thought they've put into this beauty! There's a spacious bedroom with a walk-around bed, large mirrors, and several options for mood lighting. They can sit back in their reclining loungers while watching a movie on the projector screen or choose to look out a gorgeous landscape window. In addition to air conditioning, it has three heating systems that include separate shut-off valves, so if there's ever an issue, they can disengage the appropriate area. This beast of a bus has plenty of organizational space, and the most impressive storage is underneath in eight massive bays! This tiny home is loaded with unique features and brilliant upgrades, and they're not slowing down. You can keep an eye out for their next build that's in the works now!

Thanks to the team at Tiny Home Tours for taking the time to do this tour. We have since sold this bus and are finishing building our third.

Excited to see what you do with this one Yvan!
Yvan and Sylvie, incroyable comment vous vivez dans votre fourgon remarquable
@@wildsage thank you!
@@1stfrompuertorico568 merci.
You want to know how to do a proper bus conversion? Watch their channel.
I love how he keeps his arm around his wife when he talks ❤️🥰
He does the whole tour. She hardly speaks.
@@sassylady2001 lol true 😂
@@sassylady2001 everyone not a people person like that
Just like me with my mother- in law !
Well clearly she constantly criticizes his every move and berates him constantly which only serves to increase his affection towards her…. 🙄
Best designed bus build I have seen yet. The storage under the bus is a game changer.
Thank you, it’s really nice to have all that storage.
GMCs had high baggage bays. Drove one off and on for 2-3 yrs most of it in Boston. Better know how to drive this beast as it has a very long wheelbase.
i seriously had to pause when he opened that drawer right under the kitchen sink- whoa, mind blown!
Any space is valuable space.
Agreed! I need a tutorial on that one.
@@CreeFinley we did the same on our new build, czcams.com/users/LacroixCruiser
@@LacroixCruiser awesome!! Thanks!
The cut out drawer that fits around your kitchen sink is brilliant - the ability to regulate the heating "zones" in your bus is so smart and makes sense.
Well as someone who drove all types of busses on charters, tours and line runs I will say this. In a good old Canadian blizzard/ winter or strong winds in any weather you can’t beat a gmc. They are excellent busses. You have made that one very comfortable and beautiful. Good job. However I have never had the pleasure of driving an automatic gm before. I only drove the crash boxes.
Year later I hope you see this. How offroad can a coach go? I wouldn't expect it to get through narrow roads obviously. But you've seen the desert campers? I'm assuming yes possible. But non-winter mountain roads? Mild rugged terrain? Muddy roads?
I have no plans to ever drive to where I'd roll off a mountain, but also don't want to bottom out or struggle to ascend lol.
That drawer under the sink is WONDERFUL. Excellent tour,your a great narrator.
Thank you!
Hello bus family, pray that all is well, Be safe and Happy. Gd Bless ☺️💕🙏🏾❤️
Have a save journey !!
I dream a lot about this way of life !
Thanks for sharing !👌👍😘
That is by far the best bus I have ever seen! Great work and God bless you!!!!
Thank you
The combo of the bathroom tile and the cozy wood paneling is a cool contrast. Well done!
Spot on! This was my favorite part too
@@AnniePatotaat first I thought it kinda clashed but looking back its really unique
@@samgoodwin6237 Its such a cool statement for sure!
Thank you.,
this person can sell anything... he is so good at presenting
This is my FAVORITE home on wheels EVER! Love this, love the walk through. This guy is great!
Thank you!
If you think this bus is so nice you should see the one they just completed! By the way the one you really like is FOR SALE
@@artsteadman2230 actually not for sale, it went to a new home a few weeks ago.
@@artsteadman2230 For sale where?
@@SusanSlattery I guess it's no longer for sale. Yvan LaCroix mentioned it has a new home as of last week
Home away from home, you thought of everything! Beautiful job, wish you both Incredible Journeys!
Laundromat date-night... Good 💡 idea!
Turns a chore into a charm! 😎👌
It sounds better, and can often be accompanied by an ice cream cone.
What an excellent bus home 🚎!!! And the storage is insane! Well done! ❤️
Thank you
What a voice, I’d buy anything from this man.
What a wonderful home you have created! Absolutely gorgeous, you seem to have thought of everything. Happy days to you both!
this man is actually insanely good at presenting wow props my man you are incredible
Thank you.
I loooove dirt track racing it’s awesome to know exactly what they’re talking about!!! Coincidentally I want to live in a bus to also take traveling to different dirt tracks around America!!!
Good plan!
@@LacroixCruiser thank you! Gateway Dirt National’s here we come!!!!
I love this bus redo. Really lovely job. Nice home and cozy. You did a very good video. Decor is awesome.
What a beautiful design. I especially love the space in the bedroom. So many buses/skoolies have no space around the large beds. I would choose the space also. By far the most cleverly designed and spacious. Congrats!!!
Thank you.
Very innovative and inspiring. Wonderful work , very good. I would love to own one myself (smile ).
Thats most impresive and way they love there life
Thank you
You have a beauriful home. It's the best well thought out tour of a bus home I have viewed so far. And a friendly speaker's voice... didnt notice any UMS 👌
Thank you, what’s a UMS?
@@LacroixCruiser Um is the sound a nervous person makes when they are struggling to think of what to say next.
Love your bus.
@@rtyria I thought it was a new acronym that I needed to learn. UM’s are not a big part of my vocabulary.
@@LacroixCruiser That was wrong auto correct. I was talking about when people say um trying to think of what to say. After a while they are saying more "um" then proper sentences. I really enjoyed your tour.
@@ede3237 thank you.
This is my favorite home on wheels bus conversion! What an amazing setup. I'm big time green with envy here folks!
Thank you.
Very nice design, I especially like the bathroom design, all the rest looks very cozy 🙏🏼👍🏻
Thank you
That's a great setup, prob one of the best I've seen. Love the simple ideas, especially the ones for keeping doors etc, closed while underway. 👍
Thank you
Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed the video. Continue to have fun!
I’m hoping to purchase a used 40ft BlurBird Flat Nose Diesel Pusher to have a conversion done for my forever home. I’ve lived in a 1980 Avion 34V Travel Trailer full time for 4yrs now and I love this lifestyle. I’m 65yrs young this year and I can’t wait to begin a new chapter in my life in my Bus home! Your bus is truly Beautiful outside and inside! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, and enjoy your new adventure.
Wow, that bus has everything! Well done!
We tried!
This is one of the nicest home on wheels I have see on U tube
Thank you
You have everything you need! A wonderful handyman or handywoman for maintenance sure helps any place or anytime!!! Love what you've done to you tiny house on wheels!!! Happy Travels!
Thoroughly enjoyed the kitchen to be honest. Many others do soft close etc to prevent cabinets from just opening while on the road but you guys have the plank for cabinets under the basin + the string/rope for the water + that screw lock for fridge. Amazing.
Also. So much closet space I love this so much!
Unfortunately the soft close feature isn’t enough to keep the larger drawers from opening.
Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice looking outfit.
Thank you
I are watched quite a few tiny house videos and I have to say yours is the best. You have really spent some time thinking through what you wanted, all the details in the bus are excellent. You must have really enjoyed thinking the project through which I think is a dying art form. Very well done for Wales, UK
What a neat couple! Love their bus/home! They have everything! I could definitely live in a space like that. I wish the health, happiness and safety.
❤️💜💚
Thank you!
My favorite part is the recumbent trikes!
Those tool boxes are the bomb! Love that. They come in different colors at harbor freight.
A skylight in the bedroom and bathroom and a fresh coat of white paint in the interior walls would make this tiny house on wheels even more beautiful!
Because of our climate, and the desire to have as much solar as possible, a skylight isn’t practical. As for white paint, it’s easy to do.
Very nice home. A lot of thinking went into it. You guys make a very nice, cute couple. Many blessings in your boondocking travels! 😄
Thank you
You are an awesome couple,and it was so very nice to listen to and to see all the clever solutions to make your bus so unique :) :) :)
Completely understand the double bed for snuggling! Great build!
We just moved into our new bus, we could have put a king if we wanted too, but stayed with the double.
Snuggling is very important!! I just need to find a good woman to snuggle with!
@@metalman69201 that’s definitely a challenge, but thankfully we’ve been snuggling for 22 years and look forward to many more.
I like the cabinet behind the bed by your pillows. That’s nice
Beautiful job. Congratulations have beautiful trip 👏👏👏👏🙏
Thank you for sharing your home . I'm just amazed at how many people are switching over to Tiny Living and RV Living. I love it and if I can possibly do the same I plan to . Right now I live with my Son in a apartment because the big home I shared with my daughter In law caught on fire. A lot was lost but I realize that it wasn't even being used. So that was a empty loss . It makes you realize that you really don't need all the space or items. It was a big beautiful 4bedroom , 2/1/2 bathroom home. That was very expensive. Now I loved it and appreciated it but now I see . So hopefully one day maybe my Son and I will be able to downsize and I know we'll Love it ! The way of The World 🌎 , yeah 😊😘
That’s a great silver lining to a tragic event.
Very nice and cozy build..
Thank you
"a date night at the laundromat".... LOVE it. classic lemon>lemonade
Thank you.,
Date night at the laundromat! I love this couple! Fantastic build and so practically gorgeous!
Thank you.
thank you for your written response. I have found someone to build me a van bus although they are booked through 2022 but I am not ready to retire until 2023. I thought you have a wonderful show tape and I wish all the best. Ann
Thank you, enjoy your build!
Love your tiny home! It reminds of a Greyhound bus I used to drive that we called The Buffalo. That bus had a manual double clutch shifting system and was a bear to get through all the gear without being rewarded with a grinding sound that my passengers took notice of. They were probably wondering if I knew ho to drive the thing! Anyway, you certainly make it look like a home you love! BTW, I was driving for Greyhound in 1973.
This buffalo was converted to an automatic in the 80’s, our previous bus had the non synchro Spicer 4 speed, once you get it, it’s rewarding to drive.
Don't you guys have a thesaurus can't you find another word except gorgeous to describe these tiny home skoolies.
Go on did deep I'm sure you can manage it.
This is probably the best designed bus conversion I've seen yet. So much thought has been put into this. So much storage! If you are selling this bus after you have finished your third bus conversion, let me know! Chapeaux!
Excellent design build! The craftsmanship you two put into all your projects is truly amazing! Thank you for sharing your space with us. It's greatly appreciated by the bus nut community.
Thank you
I saw at least 3 things I have never seen in bus/van/RV conversions. Excellent tour!
What are those items?
Luv it! Absolutely Perfect Coach Bus Tiny House!
Thank you
Beau travail, belles transformations. C'est un des rare vidéo dans cette catégorie que j'écoute de bout en bout. Bonne route!
Merci
Easy guy to watch.
Pleasant
No BS
THANX
That's a really good looking bus and an amazing build.
Thank you
I love when the wife quite listening and smiled, laugh at the end.
Boy, how do you know how to do all these things? What a way to live!!!
Nicest most well sorted and organized bus conversion I've ever seen. Kudos.
Thank you!
Great bus, I love the amount of storage you have. The mirror bed head cupboard is fantastic.
Gotta LOVE it ! and I can't wait 🤪😍
What a great video a real insight to life on the move even when your retired,stay safe .thank you .
Beautiful built home on wheels. I love how beautifully crafted everything is..
Your bus is great love the 871 had Detroit's in my trucks for many years.happy travel to you both Brian from australia

Thank you, it’s been great to live in it.
What a beautiful home you have made it's move comfortable than some real brick homes. I think it's a amazing conversion and I only wish I could afford such a beautiful place to live in. May all your travels be safe and fun. God bless from Ireland. 🙏🙂🍀
So beautiful & no clutter amazing great job. My thumbs up for this one
Really cool home!!! Great job. Great content!
Thank you
Très belle autobus super conversion bravo
I would love their life and also the mood music.
Congratulations 🎉 👍
Hej, very nice home on wheels! Very nice presentation! i like very much that unique drawer under the kitchen sink. Thanks so lot!
Great setup and well presented. Thanks.
Thank you.
this guy is true genius and well mannered
Thank you, not a genius, but yes I try to be well mannered.
The place is so nice… very inviting!!
Thank you
That is so great that much energy unsubscribe and takes a lot of prayers to get my fat ass out of bed it's great to see you couple this really are into each other and very active and love doing your traveling yay seniors
That's a massive massive and beautiful bus.
Thank you, no bigger than most Skoolie’s.
They do sell $90 “manual” washing machines on Amazon that wash and can hold up to 5 gallons of water (I think 5 gallons), but you need to put them in the rinse side which rinses and wrings it out 90%-95% dry. It’s really nice imo. Because then you’re free of laundromats again. You just need a place to hang dry them for a couple hours of course. But still, you’re free to do whatever again.
👍 Good ole GMC Jimmy. 35 years ago, got my Class B Commercial Driver's License with the Jimmy. It was also the first bus I ever drove. In the beginning, walked with a limp for few days until getting used to the heavy double clutch manual transmission. It was an great coach back then and good to see a Jimmy in a great shape on the road still today. Good job, well done.👍
Thank you
@@LacroixCruiser Thank you to you too for bringing me back the good memories. Also, I just subscribed to your CZcams Channel. Kind of sad to see the Jimmy go, but looking forward to you and your wifes new adventures with the MCI.
@@hcrffi thanks, there’s nothing like the symphony of a Jimmy.
Awesome rolling home! Safe travels to you both 👍!!!
That’s the ultimate home on wheels !
Our new one is better
Love! So much space and room for everything you could possibly need!
Thank you!
Wow this is extremely nice! I love the driving compartment with the newer gauges, love that it’s automatic and rebuilt engine. The entire bus has so much character and I love it! The pull down screen and projector is nice 🙂 I would love something like this!
Thank you,
@@LacroixCruiser You're welcome!
Thanks for all your expertise in the detailing world Ivan! 👍🏼
Thank you
Beatiful adaptation! You are talented! I love bus conversions. The best in my opinion.
Beautiful bus that my goal build my own like yours be safe
Great rig and great vid Chris. Hello from East Coast Canada 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🦞 🍻 ✌️
We’re not to far from the east coast. Thank you.
This is one of the nicest buses I’ve seen very well done, tidy and pleasant to the eye.
Thank you.
This is my dream life. Great job. Beautiful home. So well planned and organized. I just love it❤️👍
Thank you. Yes it’s a great way to cruise through life.
Looks wonderful.🌹👏🌹
Thank you
Just subscribed so that I can see your next bus.
Being a fellow Canadian I appreciated that you gave the tour in the winter. Many say they can be winterised but in your case you demonstrated that. Often wondered why more don't go to the larger single tank for waste water. To me it makes more sense.
Thank you. Yes a single tank makes life much easier.
A lovely home. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🐨👍😄😄😄😄😄
Thank you
She's a beauty! Lovely couple.
Thanks
Great Bus....I can see myself living it in if you are ever interested in selling. Safe travels!
Great commentary, Have fun guys
Thank you
It is amazingly beautiful! Love it so mych. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
Love this!
