Thanks for watching!
She's adorable! I'm surprised she doesn't have her own channel. And I love what she's done with her bus, very cozy.
TH-cam channels take a lot of time and effort
Plus some people dont want to broadcast there life.rather they stay humble and dont seek validation.@leoblumhagen644
I know...I would LOVE to learn some of ger techniques of the build and the decorating.
I would watch all her videos!
Bob put on his best shirt.👕
Plus, it was freshly pressed/ironed.

Renae, i am so proud of you, and so happy you are finally living your dream ! Keep riding towards that distant sunrise, and never stop searching for the next adventure. May the sun always shine on your sandals, the wind be always at your back, and may the road rise up to meet your tires. Dont forget to come home when you need your next oil change 😁
As ever - Johnny
I just picked up a 93 shorty ford diesel and am moving into it this month. I really love her build and she makes me feel confident in my choice to go for a bus and re-purpose rather than deal with an RV🎉 I hope i am half as resilient as this lady!!
You need your own channel, you are awesome, love your imagination, your tiny home is beautiful 😊
Wow!!! She did a fantastic job, everything is so detailed and homey, great sink, great bed, great sofa and nice cat patio's and love the name. And she seems to be a nice and sweat person.
Agreed! It's so beautiful, personal, and cozy. 🙂
P.S. *homey
@@a.w.thompson4001 Thanks! I was having a senior moment.
She sounds so independent and confident 👍
Absolutely gorgeous & so creative!!!
Yay! I've been waiting for this interview! I met her in Pahrump 🎉
She IS so nice
And talented and creative!
We just love Gladys and watch the video again and again. Thanks Bob for this unique tour.
WOW!!!! Now that’s is the most amazing build ever!!! I’d hire her to build one for me in a heartbeat if I had more than enough money to pay her a bundle!!!
🖐 Student at TH-cam U. here!
Great build. Thanks for sharing.
An inspiration to us all. Beautiful bus. Happy travels
OH, I'm in LOVE with that bus!! Whimsical is a perfect description! Great job! You go girl!!

Beautiful build! Very artful and practical.
Wow just wow ❤️
Fabulous build!! 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻
I LOVE LOVE LOVE her bus!!! And she has a nice personality!!
I love her bus and design...livin her best life
Outstanding home on wheels!!❤
I love this build! Such an Artistic Showcase of her personality as well as functionality! Thank you, Bob W., for finding such interesting people in the work you share with all of us! After watching these videos I feel like there a million friends out there waiting to be introduced! Such a service even for people who will never be nomadic... but being self-sufficient and confident in that no matter where we are.... We are HOME! :) Much love!
WOW 😳 that's an awesome ride.
One of the nicest school is I’ve seen. Nice to see she used repurposed materials.
Love the whimsical build of Renae's home on wheels ...so much character! Thanks for sharing it with us! 🌻
Maybe a detail interview about the catio design/install methods?
And the glass entry door design/install/security lock?
Thanks Bob
She is a lovely person!
Brilliant ! What a wonderful home. 💙
Amazing and well done she has a very nice home.
Lots of work and big rewards. I did it myself!
❤
What an interesting woman! She's very creative and resourceful to find all those items for her home
Lots of great ideas I love that counter!!
Beautiful home.love how she decorated and made it sufficent for what she needed.very cozy.
Excellent !
I’m a so impressed! She did a phenomenal job and what a lovely personality she has. Safe travels to you Renae and thank you once again Bob. Much love and many blessings
Absolutely love her creativity and her spirit....
Happy Travels.

💖 Incredible! A beautiful home to live in. I hope everything works out well for her life on the road.
Impressive. She knew that was a 22 bullet hole. 😂 Interesting lady in an interesting schoolie. 🚍
She's a cutie. Love her, skoolie!
What a great build. Schoolies are such a good platform to build out. That drive train may very well be one of the best out there. It is incredibly reliable and strong. Yes, fuel economy is poor, but it isn't like you are always out on the road. The whole point of van (schoolie) life is to find a spot and chill for awhile. Cheers!
I loved this one maybe better than any I’ve seen. Congrats to her I. Such a fabulous build.
She’s gorgeous!❤
We were camped across the wash from Renee at Pahrump the day you did this tour and interview, Bob!😊 Gorgeous bus!
Beautiful schoolie!
Pretty name for a pretty woman with a pretty bus. If I had had more time in my life I might have built out a skoolie but after rehabbing 10 apartments to get on the road I just bought the RV I wanted. Keep the good stuff coming Bob.
Renae what a beautiful home we absolutely love it. The wood stove is on my list to get and my son’s list also. We have cargo trailer conversions. We are so blessed to be able to live our golden years as we say in our tiny home. The antique doors that are used as walls are really nice and the stairs are your dresser. We can’t leave out your beautiful kitchen counter such a nice piece of wood. May you be blessed in your bus and your travels. Morris and Viola
Wow! This lady is delightful and smart. Very skilled with this practical and beautiful build. This gets my vote! A+
Gorgeously stunning ❤❤
Incredible! I love the catios!!!!!!
I knew someone who bought a new $150k RV that started falling apart after 4 months if travel. They commented that they wish they had built out a schooling. Beautiful schooling! Happy travels!
I've lived in an RV for the last 3+ years. It's done nothing but fall apart for the entire time. I won't recommend anyone live in an RV. Save time, money, stress and issues and just build it yourself.
My in-laws bought a see ya. Nothing but problems
yes the new rvs seem to be having quality issues and cost a huge amount of money. Not to mention the slid outs to expand the living space. Were as a schoolie is metal. The main things to look for in it is change out the windows because they are known to leak and make sure its not rusted underneath. Also make sure the engine and trans is working good with decent miles and you can have a solid plateform to build. Just make sure to insulate good and get a fuel heater. You are golden.
Love it! She also had a tap of the metatron cube very cool! I wish I knew if her cat just stays inside or goes out. I wonder cause I plan on taking my furball with me on the road.
Until you have leash trained your cat with an *escape proof* leash, which I strongly recommend, I would not recommend taking your cat. They generally react poorly to changes & loud noises in their environment; & there are many risks & dangers to cats when traveling.
I lost my beloved housecat when I took her on the road with me in a cat carrier and harness while on a cross country move. Something startled her at a Pilot gas station and she squirmed out of her harness like Houdini and ran away into the nearby woods. I slept in my vehicle for a month trying everything to get her back. I found her on the tenth day, but she wouldn’t come to me and only went deeper into the woods. Exhausted, heartbroken, and with a bad case of Poison Ivy after 30 days of non-stop searching, I eventually drove away devastated. Oh how I adored her and am still heartbroken six years later.
Love it! She is cute as a button and Gladys is a work of art.
Incredible build
Renee, lovely build!

Exceptional. Well thought-out. Homey. Total win.

I made a large ‘Catio’ for a friend’s cat about 8 years ago … worked great … a bit of work adding pet screen (heavy plastic screen) and water deflecting mini roofing …. The cat LOVED it 👍
What a beautiful schoolie! I love that you kept the windows!
Lovely! 😊
This is the best ever!! I just love her ❤
Love it! She had me at the PeAcE signs around the vehicle. Very impressive work, Renae👍☮
