This is the first schoolie I have seen that is the same size as mine. I was so close to hitting the road when my three beautiful grand daughters found themselves in very sad and unfortunate circumstances and were going to be split up by child protection services. They had already lost so much that I couldn't watch them lose each other. So I put my plans on the back burner and made a home for the three girls with me. And since then I have been living vicariously through you guys and many others..LOL..But just a couple months back I came across a 28 foot school bus for sale and thought "that's the one"...the full size are just too big to park anywhere...the short bus is just not enough room to be a "home" on the road. So I got it with the hope that one day I would actually do the conversion. I don't know how it all fell together quite so quickly, but it is in being inspected now and I have hired the guy to do the roof raise (so I can accommodate triple bunks) and I am hitting the road this summer with three little girls. The best part of the bus is that it is duel fuel. Gas and Propane powered. I am so excited. Its my dream bus. And you guys have helped so much with being able to have a visual of what will fit and so forth. I am soooo jealous...LOL...and also so happy for you. I cant wish you enough wonderful moments and safe travels. Great job guys...Keep an out there for us...A white schoolie the same size...and on the side it has painted "It's A Wander-FULL Life" Blessings your way guys..and thanks for the video's!
Anne Bell what an inspiring story. That is beyond cool, stepping in and saving the girls. That must have been incredibly hard, and it's amazing that even through such things you are persevering the best you can and still following your dreams. We are so glad that even our dream could help inspire yours. Let us know if we can help in any way!
Sincerely,
Sam
Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans. I would be on the road if I wasn’t taking care of my grandmother who lives with us and has Alzheimer’s. Taking her on the road just won’t work. So we plan on building out our bus and then waiting until she passes on. Sounds weird to wait for someone to die. But we won’t take her on the road with us. As that would be so hard on her and us. She needs her own enclosed space. She gets lost when she leaves her room.
You will be blessed for putting those little girls first! So proud of you!
Anne Bell I have been taking care of my mom and dad for the last 10 yrs or so...they are both gone and I’m am feeling quite a loss and I have only been a care giver first as a mom then my parents. Have live a very sheltered life and I have always dreamed of seeing other places and hiking the Appalachian Trail. I am working on losing weight and trying to find a bus I like...the 28 foot bus is the perfect size. Wondering what they typically go for as I have not seen very many for sale, if you don’t mind me asking. Thanks!
You did the right thing. So, I have been on the fence about bus size. Had not heard of this mid size u speak of...must research as I don't think parking a large bus or taking it in certain spaces is best for me so TY for sharing your story. You never know when your comment can help someone else so share, share, share.
Finished product is awesome!!! Pat yourselfs on your backs!!! Now just enjoy the hell out of it, and double check all fittings over time. Good Job Guys, w.w.
God bless you on the hiking!!!! It is awesome you are doing this while your young!!👍🏾🤘🏿
I am so green with envy! I have followed you from the start of the project and I am super impressed with the outcome! You guys ROCK! ...and enjoy your trip. DON'T forget to keep us posted on the trip. I would love to watch that trip unfold. Best wishes to you both, be safe and ENJOY!!
Turn that envy into action and build something!! ;P But thank you so so much, and after our tour video of the bus coming out as soon as possible we'll be diving straight into travel videos! Thank you for following along and I hope what we can bring next will be just as helpful and fun!
OMG! THAT COUNTERTOP IS TO DIE FOR!!!

John Coffey thank you!!!
Those window shades are super cool, I'd love more explanation on how they were made.........kudos for designing that tri-fold murphy bed!
01:46 “one more step and this is the furthest from the shire I’ll have ever been.” 😂
You guys rock!
Looks good guys
Hey fellas! Fellow Cincinnati native. Love this project. Got to your videos a little late but I currently live in Jackson, WY. If you passing through again anytime come say hi. Love the bus best of luck
Thank you! and dang, we've been on the road for about a month actually just getting caught up on the build videos haha, we stopped for about a week in JAckson about 2 weeks ago, it was absolutely beautiful and we want to come back!
I’ve been wanting to do a van/bus build for a while now. Seeing yours just makes me want it more.
You guys did a good job, congratulations.
Thank you very much!
Habe a nice trip!
This is by far the most meticulous, well thought out, carefully and beautifully constructed conversion I’ve seen. Best wishes for a safe and enjoyable road trip.
WOW! Well thank you so much! That's exactly the vibe we wanted to give off so thank you!
@@TheVoyagerProject definitely makes me wanna redo my WIP conversion! but I'll modify/enhance whatever I can and start fresh with your concepts on my other bus!! thank you for sharing, now I'm head to your plumbing video.
Your bus is amazing !
Jimmie's Dairy Bar!! Pendleton, Indiana Great place to eat....
Awesome!!!👠👠👠
Right on guys! I dig the finished project. Cant wait until the day comes when we are finished and are on the road. How do you guys like the adventure so far? Everything you hoped?
Thanks guys! So excited to see yours!! And yeah, it's been awesome, we love it so far. It's not a glamorous lifestyle, but it's one of adventure, and it'll be one we never forget. What more can you ask for?
The Voyager Project : Glamorous is in the eye of the beholder. Who cares what others think, if your happy with it, then that's all that matters. As for myself, I'am envious of your build, great job have fun and be safe..
Kind regards, Eric Dee.
You should get a Burkey Water Purifier
DREAM SKOOLIE!
Wired speakers in the age of Bluetooth? LOL. It looks amazing.
Love the floor.
fellas amazing job!!! any sofa/bed plans available for download , I'll purchase
Supper sweet
Putting poly on butcher block oil makes no sense.
Michael Mccauslin r they using it for food. Poly isn't food safe. Lol. Oil base would work but not water base.
I see y'all repping UC! Love the conversion btw if I wasn't a poor college student I would definitely buy this bus when you guys decide to settle down 😉😎 I am assuming you are together, I apologize if you're not!!
Nice job. hoping to make mine in a box truck more head room.
Lads great work !!! Loving it :-) whats the cost please ball park is fine . again I was very impressed over here in Ireland
Intrigued by the counter do u have directions somewhere I missed? Congrats on finally hitting the road.
Thank you! And no directions, sorry 😥, BUT! it's super easy! Just cut a bunch of equal width plywood piece's, turn them on their sides to see all the plys, glue them together and voila!
Beautiful job. If you don't mind me asking, what was the total round about build cost for your rig?.
Thanks for sharing!
Kind regards, Eric Dee.
Beautiful, just needs some curtains for privacy
The counter top almost looks like bamboo like that!
if i may ask how much was it all plus how much do the tools cost?
Amazing job guys❤️ can I come
Hahaha you'll be the first to know if a spot opens up! and thank you!
Stay away from those hot dogs.
How did u make that counter top? Cut stripes of wood and glued them together? I need a tutorial! Awesome!
Where does the water from the shower drain go?? I'm interested in building my own business conversion.
Y is dude cracken his voice like that. Awww cute couple
What heater are you using?
Rule #1 of driving a bus is to pre-trip check all equipment for your safety and the safety of all passengers. Therefore, keep your interior windows clean and clear inside and out, mirrors, tires inflated properly, brakes, all lights, etc, etc...just concerned with your safety boys.
Thank you for the concern! We spent a lot of money at a mechanic shop getting everything checked and tuned up, oil changed, belts swapped, etc.
Even new vehicles unexpected have things come up. I know you noticed that the windshield was real hard to see thru, on camera. I have a friend that blogs, the funniest he's done is the camera fogging up and slowly clearing. In the end it looked cool. Just clean the Windshield ! Have fun !
Bus tour ! Please ! ! !
Aye South Dakota Boy here too
So where do you sleep? I see everything but a bed, or two?
I need a tour. Are you going to be doing one?
Where did you get your cabinet pulls? Simplicity is so hard to find.
Surprisingly we found them at Menards! The only minimal ones they have too haha
Subbed 🙂 xx
This guy makes Gingium's bus look like a hobo hut
How did the bus do on fuel?
Do a tour!!!
so by saying it's time to go does that mean who's ever driveway you are parked in wants the bus the heck out of there?
They have the same size schoolie I have including the wheel chair door (I still have the entire lift, which I will be removing.)
Hey guys, weren't you three people in the beginning?
The other one had to go to college, or something.
Yeah unfortunately the third had other things in life such as finishishing his last semester in college this fall come up. It was really hard for us
what was the speed you traveled at what rpm's ? what motor and trans ?
About 55mph, 2500rpm
Slight resemblance to a younger Justin Timberlake 😉 great vlog 👍🏽
I wanna buy the bus, should you ever decide to sell it!
The current plan is to sell it at the end! But we'll see haha we already love it so much! DM us on instagram if you're serious and want to chat about it!
The Voyager Project u realize poly isn't food safe??
Hi guys ...could you tell me something about expenses! 1. How much does it cost to run the bus per year minus fuel and repair cost? and what's your average budget per month in total to travel with the bus?
What happened to your third guy? i guess a change of heart. great job!
I must have missed something. You pointed to cabinet with "bungies." What's up with that?
Why bungies? How do you use it? How did you make it?
The bungees act as storage for the food, they hold everything in the cabinet and can be pulled/stretched out of the way to grab stuff, we're gonna do a video on it soon ish
You realize dudes that Custer state park burnt to a crisp many years ago, what a change since I drove through there before
Deborah Dean it was my (Sam's) first time, but Ryan's family owns a cabin there and have been going for generations to the park, and have watched it regrow, it is amazing
It's awesome when u see the Bison for the first time on the side of the road it's a must stop and take pictures and enjoy the view. We even saw bears there.
I also lived in Rapid City Ellsworth AFB so even saw that park before it burnt. But it's amazing how different it is as well since the fire. I saw it several years after the fire as well.
Your floor looks amazing. What size is this bus?
It's about 20ish feet from the entry steps to the back!
@@TheVoyagerProject ty for reply
I wanna buy this sooo bad
What are those glasses called? 😍😍 Love them!
Thank you!! And they're RayBans RB3447V
The Voyager Project ♥️

Ok. Where is the 3rd guy?
Cutie
Hey I live in Ohio 😁

40 mph no bike helmet, youth can recover from anything
Yeah we both agreed after that hill that we should have had helmets on. We didn't realize how fast it would be until after
Yeah, I know how it goes. just be safe for good times ahead.
what kind of wood is the counter?
ThatRaceCarDude
See above, he answered another commenter.
That cabinet not closing properly is driving me nuts
What is That in your nose? #infectionontheroad......
I keep coming back here thinking something has changed.... Nope. Where are you guys? Did you finally get tired of the bore that is Ryan? ( Bryan? ) . what's his malfunction? Ugh. Anyway, after following you all through the build, I expected your road blogs. What a let down.
Dude your nose................really? Please come on.
I know!!! So wild, it's the craziest thing, one morning, no nose 👃, just a ring, then BAM! I woke up with a nose attached to it. Doctors can't explain it 😂😂😂
