#busconversion #shuttlebus #buslife
Question of the Day: What do you think my parents will put in their conversion?
I’m so excited for your parents and excited for us!! I hope your dad will allow us to follow along a bit with his build. Bunny, you are such a wonderful supportive daughter. They raised you well. 💕
I don’t know that Dad necessarily is leaning into a TH-cam channel. I’ve tried… Lol but he’s also mentioned that his TH-cam channel would be very different than mine and so he didn’t know if people would be as interested in seeing how he chooses to tell stories. However, with that said I will be definitely doing some updates Along the way so people can see what’s going on with the shuttle bus.
Bunny is amazing 🎉
@@BunnyPlaysHere - I'm going to sub so I can see the updates. Thanks.
Your Dad is so handy, he will have this Shuttle amazing in no time.
I agree I think he’s going to take his time building this so that he can get it to where he wants it to be but at the same time by the time that he gets to really start doing things to it after the heat of summer has passed then it will come together quickly I feel
So happy for dad with this shuttle. Sorry about the van though.
The situation with the van definitely was not great however, I think the shuttle is going to be absolutely awesome for them
new to your channel and subbed. Love the bus your parents found. Looking forward to following your journey. We daily vlog, and love these day to day life videos.
Wonderful! Looking forward to seeing it built out.
I think it’s gonna be pretty epic. I know he has some great ideas. I’m just looking forward to seeing which ones that he decides to use.
It's really great..but after all the money he spent to make a home in the other one its kinda sad. Wish yall the best of luck!!! Stay safe
That was certainly a really huge negative in regards to the van. It’s really sad to see that you’ve wasted money on anything so recovering and being able to bounce back by using all of the things is super important.
That’s great mileage especially for a used shuttle bus
Yes, finding something with low mileage with something he definitely wanted however, also to know that they had taken care of it the way that they had was probably really helpful in his decision of wanting to even see it
l love all the cheerful colors you have chosen to decorate in your home.....awesome warm. FYI...I just drive from home in southwest Georgia to California in my new 2024 Bronco. And l had a marvelous solo adventure. Now l know what it's all about driving down Route 66 from start to finish....awesome good. l'm excited with you on your parent's new vehicle.....awesome
They can stand up in the shuttle. Maybe put a shower in it along with a tiny kitchen, and big bed. Make it a bit like a cabin to travel in. How fun!
That's cool Pops got a shuttle. I know he had to be bummed when the van crapped out.
Definitely was a little bummed out but more so stressed out than anything. I’m going to do a follow up video as to what happened. Just trying to get the van home because that was an act of Congress all by itself
Woohoo 💃🏻🙌🏼
It is so exciting and I’m so happy. I can finally tell everyone about this.
The whole time you were talking I was jumping up & down yelling yes, yes yesssssss.!!!!!!😅😅😅😅😅😅
I am just as excited for them
I had one of those for my first responder job and sometimes the parking brake test to be on for the door to open depending on what model you have. So tell your dad to try putting it in Park and then throw out the parking brake and see if that works we had issues the same with our bus. It’s to make sure that the bus doesn’t get knocked into gear while people are getting on and off.😊
I will definitely pass that message on thank you
So cool! I love the windows on that bus. I’m happy your Dad found a new project and I can’t wait to see what your parents do with it. 👏🏽✌🏽
Yea! Wonderful news. Good things happen all the time 👍
They do we just have to find the positives in the days should be able to recognize them
SO Glad that your dad has been blessed with this Sweet Ride, after taking such a hard punch in the chin with the first van. People are always quoting "When God closes a door, He opens a window"...or, in this case, a LOTTA nice windows attached to a pretty nice chassis. Actually, when I'd first started noticing Schoolies and VanLifers online, I used to sit outside my mother's senior highrise and think how perfect their building's shuttle bus would be to make over for vanlife. Now I get to see it as you update us on your dad's....COOL! Wishing you all the best! 😊😊😊
Look at all of those windows as you were showing the drive I could just think oh my goodness I could imagine some of the places that you’ve showed us out all of those windows.
Yes, that’s one of the first things that I noticed that my mom would love. She likes a lot of good natural light now I do feel like there’s a lot of windows though lol but I think that they’ll figure it out and it’ll be beautiful.
Congratulations to your parents for this fantastic find! Your Dad is so handy...I know it will turn out beautiful ❤️
Excited to see what your dad will do in his new shuttle.
You and me both! I know he has some big ideas and so I can’t wait to be able to see them
So happy for your Dad, looking forward to seeing what he does with it.
It’s gonna be great. He has some wonderful ideas for the layout.
Ik! You’re such a loving and thoughtful daughter. I hope ya’ll have a blast! 😆
Congratulations Dad. Can’t wait to watch your creativity on this bus. It’s awesome. ❤❤
I will definitely be doing an update once he gets a few things done so that we can see all of the hard work
I'm so excited and happy for your mom n dad can't wait to see the build
I know Dad has some big ideas so I’m super excited to find out what all he’s able to use from the previous bill and what he brings in brand new
@@BunnyPlaysHere me too!!!
Good for him.Every Dodge I have owned has turned out to be reliable. Happy for him.😊
DUDE CONGRATS🎉 !!!
So excited for my parents!!
Bunny, it may be considered a commercial vehicle for insurance. Check
@@BunnyPlaysHere it’s not a biggie if it does have to be registered commercial, ours is cause it was originally registered as a commercial vehicle for cruise America and honestly I don’t think we’re paying that much more for the insurance if at all.
My heart just broke for your parents when I saw that your dad was stranded on the side of the road and had to leave his van in Arkansas. You said that it was home how did it get there? Are you going to be sharing that? Also, I am very excited to see that they have found some thing that will be, wonderful for them. God works in wonderful ways.
I will be sharing all of that very soon. I wanted to make sure to give everyone a heads up as to the service that we used in order to do that because I knew there would be some questions.
The news about the old van stinks so bad, Dad did an amazing job with the build out on that one. But now I'm so excited to see what he does with the new shuttle. Let the fun begin!!
I’m very excited to see all the choices that he makes with this one because it does have more space. The fuel economy won’t be quite as good, but it will allow them to have more space in their rig to be able to enjoy.
Omagosh I’m so happy for your dad! I’m happy for your mom too but your dad because of the huge disappointment he experienced. 40 thousand miles! Woohoo!!! 😆
It has wonderful starting mileage, so I’m excited about that for them. That means that they can fill it up with tons of adventures.
I'm a new subscriber and it was all about the smiles. I love your energy. And congratulations to your Mom and Dad!
Welcome to the channel!!! I always try to just find the positives in life and share the realities of what is happening around but still finding the joys.... I am glad you are here to join the adventures!!
I'm so excited for your family❤😊
I cannot wait to share more information about what he ends up doing so that everyone can see the potential of something like this. It’s super sad what happened with the van but positive thinking really puts you in a better mindset.
Bunny im so happy for your dad i know he was soo unhappy when he had van problems . Glad y'all found a happy happy solution . There are so many possiblilities to a shuttle build ,let the imagination begin . Have a great day😎
There are so many awesome opportunities. I’m very excited to see what him and my mom decide and what choices that they make for their space. I know they’re going to be using this for vacationing mostly so it doesn’t have to be super elaborate but at the same time, they want it to have the comforts that they need.
I am so excited for your folks! Your dad will like working in this, I think. He can see what he's doing and there's plenty of room. This is great!
Great find for your Dad! He'll be happy with the shuttle. Good video, Bunny!
Wow!!!! I haven't watched yet but I literally have been shopping for these on marketplace and am afraid to pull the trigger. So happy to watch you adventure into this.
After seeing this one, it made me really excited about the amount of space that it has, but also the beautiful views that are available through these big windows
So happy that your Dad was able to find a new vehicle. Yes vehicle drama stinks but still both he and you were blessed during that challenge. Peace
It definitely said his mind at ease by finding some thing like this
Good for your dad! I have a 2012 Chevy Express 4500 6.0 shuttle that runs on gas. I LOVE it. I've had no issues with it but any mechanic can work on it. So much room, 7' interior height. Since it's just me and my dog I opted for a twin daybed that doubles as my couch which freed up room for an actual bathroom! Opposite the bathroom is my garage/storage area. I've got a miniature but full kitchen and a vintage gentleman's armoire that holds clothing, more storage and a dropdown desk/office.. That cabinet above the driver? A ton of storage in there! Mine has an escape hatch in the ceiling that I can pop open and place a box fan in and with the emergency windows open and a USB fan in each there's plenty of ventilation. On rainy days it's great because even though you're stuck inside, there's room to comfortably sit, move around, and enjoy the down time. I'm so, so excited for your folks! They're going to love it!
Congratulations, have fun building it out.😊
I know mom and dad have some great plans!!
This is so exciting! Woot Woot #buslife!
BUS life is going to be great for them!
I know the feeling of losing a van you have grown so much pazaz with!! But it looks like Dad has found a great project to build and I am so excited to see the progress!! Mainly because I've been looking at vans and a few shuttle buses myself!!And to see how he does it will be fun!! Congratulations Dad & Mom on those future adventures to come!! Thanks for sharing this wonderful news!!❤
I am so excited for your dad (&mom)!! &me.. LOL As I plan for a future rig, a shuttle bus is the way I want to go. I am so psyched to see this! I do feel bad that your dad had just finished the van, that's a bummer. But on to bigger and better!!
I’m very excited to see what he ends up doing with this. I’ve heard some of his plans and of course he’s already changed some of them so I’m eager to see what he lands on overall and also what he’s able to use from the van.
All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise in wonderful
The church bus hits them all!
oh this is so exciting! I was really bummed for your dad with the breakdown and all! Goes to show...when the Lord closes a door he opens a window! Can't wait to hear more! Blessings!
I really love the van, it has low mileage, has been cared for and I love the look of it. It has a lot of character. ❤
You go dad, hope we are kept updated on progress. No resting in retirement yet, but have fun.
Congrats to your dad. I will always follow your channel no matter what happens
Congratulations Bunny's Dad. Please take us along on your rehab project. Maybe you can repurpose some of the original builds in your dodge. Plus you can redo the design that you did earlier if you found something you had wanted to change. Also a little more light and space. Yea for you!
He definitely plans on using as many things from the previous build as possible, and I will be giving an update at some point in the future. We will see how he’s doing in there.
Fantastic so happy for your parents.
So so much joy I’m very excited for them
Well, it took me a month to get home from Quartzsite due to numerous mechanical issues. I had put $1000 into it to try and prevent this. So after new tires, batteries etc three weeks out, a semi started to jack knife in high winds while passing me ruing my transmission. Limbed it back over the next few weeks back to storage where it died. I bought a new used van and every three days something major breaks down. So I have been stranded somewhere since the first week of April. I have yet to see the bright side. Still trying. Hopefully after Aug 3 I can get it fixed enough to not be in a parking lot and can begin again. Miracles do happen, right?! Glad to see you are in a much better position!! Luv ya, love your channel❣️ 🚐🚌🛣️🐰🗻🌄❤️
every day there is a bright side... sometimes that is just that we had the ability to wake up with others did not... always find the bring side!!!
Congrats 🎉 to your dad 🎉❤. I think it will turn out to be much better than they ever imagined. Awesome!!!
Sooo excited to watch the magic unfold! Yep, there's always a positive reason. Thanks for sharing! 🫶
That is awesome what a great find. Especially w low miles. Congratulations to your parents. I love buses. ❤
Very cool! Dad needs a you tube channel now! Would great to follow along with your parents as they rebuild the shuttle! What an adventure!
I’ve tried to convince him, but I don’t know that he’s as interested in doing that. I know that he has mentioned that if he does a TH-cam channel, it wouldn’t be in the same kind of format that I do because he would feel more comfortable sharing his adventures and they might not be everybody’s idea of adventure.
Sorry bout your Dad’s van, good thing is this shuttle doesn’t have high mileage and will be awesome for this type of travel once things get set up again. Looking forward to seeing the transformation. This will be definitely up your Dad’s way 👍
Your parents will love all that extra space.
I'm looking forward to seeing his build out! Please keep us posted!
I will certainly give everyone updates as I can. I know that with the heat right now that there may or may not be any fast progress but as soon as I get the opportunity, I will give everyone an update.
Grats on the bus.
Thanks!
Congratulations to Dad and Mom! This is just awesome and only 40K miles. Gas Mileage? Does one need a special license to drive it? Asking for a friend....lol. I have been thinking about a shuttle bus. I have a friend I camp with a lot that has a small schoolie. Love all the room. So exciting! Have a blessed day.
That’s a great question for the size of this rig. No, you do not have to have a special license to drive it. It’s just under the amount for needing to do so the mileage on this is going to be great. Overall the fuel economy is not as good as the van however.
@@BunnyPlaysHere - thank you for your reply and that is exciting news for me.
Yay. Good for you.
Yeyyyyy I’m so happy for Dad. Yippee 🥳 he so deserves that bus. Sorry bout the other one but good things follow bad when you’re as kind as he is.
This is exciting for your parents!
Yes, this is going to be absolutely awesome for them. I’m so excited.
Woohoooo!! So happy for your family. Can't wait to see the progress. Love to you guys.
I can't wait to see how your dad fixes his new home up ❤
So exciting for your parents!! Looks like there's a bit more room in the new shuttle bus! And who doesn't wat more room!! Yay!!
Happy for your Dad and glad he can salvage some of the things from his van.
Everything he is able to take out he is going to and the nice thing about all of the exterior items such as his solar and cameras and things like that they can all be removed and used on this unit
How exciting!!!
i am so excited for them!!!
Sorry about your dad's van, but yay on snagging the low-milage shuttle van!!
🎉 This is so awesome to hear. So happy for you all!!!!
I’m very excited for them! It was really sad to see the van do what it did and so this is a great way to recover and start toward something. Absolutely epic for my parents.
@@BunnyPlaysHere it is epic. Keep that positivity up. Stay safe and have happy travels.
Yay!! I know your dad will make it very nice! I love the windows too! 💕
🎉 oh how exciting, my dream is to get one and fix it up and go 🎉 your parents are going to have lots of fun 😊
Hi new watching your TH-cam channel video. I lovely keep watching. 👍👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️
Hope that you’re enjoying everything! I have lots of fun stuff coming up
Ohhhh my dream is a shuttle bus! I CANNOT WAIT to see what you do with this! EDIT: Oh I guess we'll see what THEY do with it lol
Nice!! I just missed one just like that but diesel. Can't wait to watch the build!
I am so happy for your parents!
I really hope he has the engine and drive shaft checked thoroughly.
Exciting. I’ve been interested in doing the same thing. I agree about the windows.
😱The same price to fix it as it cost to buy the shuttle. Get the shuttle 👍
I was thinking about a small schoolie, shuttle, and van. I can't wait to how it turns out.
Can’t wait to see the build results.
I’m so excited for your parents.
Thts a cool looking shuttle bus
It was such a great find, and the price was right for the amount of of mileage for for sure. I know it’s going to bring my parents lots of joy as they take on all sorts of adventures.
Hi Bunny nice to see you ❤
Hiii!!
I just subscribed. I love your energy. Thank you for sharing.
I’m excited for yall!!!! That’s awesome
congrats..dad and mom. happy travels.
Congratulations 🎉
Awesome!!!
Well, the new job begins
How's your new laptop and files? Were you able to recover what you needed? Prayers for a smooth transition.
Indeed, a new project begins… As for my laptop, I was able to recover some of the items and I rebuilt everything I couldn’t recover
@@BunnyPlaysHere That's good. ❤️
When I saw V-10 on the side . OUCH ! Neither church could afford to feed that monster . Hope you re think this folly and go with a V-8 . If you do want it , go for rock bottom dollar . Good luck to all , though . 😊 ❤
i appreciate your concern however this is my parents choice and they are very happy with their decision.
Very nice!
AWESOME ❤❤❤ !!!!! 😊
Congrats on your new travel vehicle. Of course, there's a lot of work to get done. But, it's really nice. Sorry your other one went CAPUT!❤❤
I paid $2000 for my little Toyota..my blazer cost more to fix so I'm using it for a storage unit for my fabric 😂
Oh no…… Trust me I have one of those random things sitting in my yard as well. My very first adventure vehicle got struck by lightning and now it sits as a relic in my space I need to make sure that I eventually get rid of it lol but since I can’t drive it, it’s just really difficult.
@@BunnyPlaysHere I figure it's a free storage unit now..I don't have to buy a shed😁 I'm a fabric junkie who makes GRETCHIES STRETCHIES ™. One can never have too much fabric 😁
Yay!
Yessss
Life throws you a curve ball you just adjust your swing…😁
Yay dad! 💙
Yessss
Sprinters are very expensive to repair. I was hoping you would buy the shuttle and replace dimples
I don’t need something that large right now
Bunny, i too want a shuttle bus... But, i was wondering can you remove the driver seat...an replace it with one of those two seaters ( so, that your mom can ride in the front). An leave the seat there that your in for another passenger...or remove the seat your in an out it behind the driver????
I want a shuttle bus really bad 😢
Will that work??????
❤❤❤
I have a friend that says Man plans and God laughs.
Wait I must have missed it, when did you get a tiny van
I have always had a tiny van. My van is an NV200. my dad had the 2006 Dodge sprinter and that’s the one that died so he has replaced it with the shuttle bus. I travel and want fuel economy so I have a smaller van to do that for the time being.
