    About:
    Jason and Lorraine. In 2016 we sold most of our belongings and left the city in southern California to start a small homestead in the mountains of North Carolina. We left the city in search for a more minimal and intentional life. We became passionate about growing our own food and knowing what exactly is in our food after I (Jason) became diagnosed with cancer. Now 8 years in remission we as a family are on a journey to live our passions.
    We document our life on TH-cam videos to inspire others to get out of their comfort zone and not be afraid of change. We started our own online general store where we have available the things we make and use in real life. Thank you for following us on this incredible life changing journey!

    I love how you sectioned off the parents bedroom. It somehow makes the space seem bigger

    Wonderful layout. The toilet by the side door for easy access and disposal was genius. Thank you for the tour. Someone is very lucky to have this.

  • @looneytoonsama
    @looneytoonsama 6 ปีที่แล้ว +67

    I love this, and I wasn't even expecting the extra master room in the back. Love the amount of storage you put into this as well. The finishes and bright paint really bring out a light and roomy sense of space too.

  • @gamerdan2310

  • @ChazEvansdale
    @ChazEvansdale 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I liked the idea of the shower separate from the bathroom (toilet room). That separation gives more creative freedom to a skoolie or tiny house build.
    Also liked the shower being in middle of the bus to get the most ceiling height.

  • @janelholmes7514

    Hands down my favorite Skoolie conversion Iv seen yet 😍

    i cannot wait to buy my bus and start the conversion. I will do most of the work myself but this looks absolutely amazing!! I am certainly stealing ideas from all these amazing videos! Thank you for sharing!!

  • @starsackaney4996

    LOVE LOVE LOVE the "cassette" toilet room AND that it has an entry/exit point (full sized door?!?) as a way to empty the cassette toilet. There is next to zero accidental spills via in the middle of the kitchen-living area not to mention to air out the toilet room. Like how sensibly smart is that!? For real how many parents in their right minds would stop every single time the little ones (and them too!!) had to go numero deux!?
    And THAT SHOWER!?? Super nice.
    A good fit for a younger family with little ones!!!
    By far one of the best coolie skoolie conversions I have seen on YT!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • @quitplayin1916

      yup

    • @xoKaylaMay
      @xoKaylaMay 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Omg ikr! I've been trying to find a design like this.

    • @Spazza42
      @Spazza42 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Some layouts just work. Whilst it won’t be for everyone, most will want the same things in a bus conversion. Personally I’d keep the design open by having the toilet and shower at the front of the bus. No overhead storage or walls in the middle of the bus. I hate how dark some floor plans are....

  • @allenbrown5101
    @allenbrown5101 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I love that floorplan

  • @russellwilliams4032
    @russellwilliams4032 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    One of the best builds I've seen. The shower is big enough for you to turnaround in, a bathroom that's spacious and private. The place just flows. This is a home ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • @JenniferPerryMyScraproom
    @JenniferPerryMyScraproom 6 ปีที่แล้ว +18

  • @msneo8839
    @msneo8839 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I couldn't resist. This is hands down the BEST mobile home design I have EVER seen!! 👍 (and I have seen TONS!) Such clever designing and aesthetically pleasing custom build is far superior than many modern luxe RVs. Bravo, guys! Keep doing you 👏

  • @thememorytraveler4978
    @thememorytraveler4978 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Beautiful! Shorten your screws in the tip-out drawer. Finish painting the refrigerator well. Vacuum up the cabinet bottom. These little things can distract from your beautiful work! Lovely woodwork! At first glance you can tell you know wood!

  • @frankiebutler2894
    @frankiebutler2894 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @romasingh2572

  • @vildeugland8617
    @vildeugland8617 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This layout is amazing! It looks comfortable, and the fact that the kids almost have their own room, is so cool!

  • @JohnDoe-pe7ql
    @JohnDoe-pe7ql 6 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    Only thing I hated about this was the shower in the master bedroom......

    • @euanaylett9644
      @euanaylett9644 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe the shower should have been rotated to face the walk way. you'd have to step down into the shower, but that would also help stop water getting out. :)

  • @GrummanIsComin
    @GrummanIsComin 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome build and layout! The door in the toilet room was awesome so there is no dragging what needs to be disposed of through the bus/home! Bravo 👏.

  • @AmberJBaldwin

    All I can say is WOW ! Nice job on the bus to both of you. Very good explanation / tour from Jeff. The video shots by Jason were detailed. Liked how you covered everything top to bottom and stopped mid stream for us to take it all in . Very Good .

  • @HristosIisusEdomnul
    @HristosIisusEdomnul 5 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @viettrinh7306
    @viettrinh7306 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would recommend move the bottom bunk to the left side and then put a washing machine there instead.
    Moreover, the bathroom door should face outside the master suite.
    Otherwise, its really nice.

  • @Southamericangirl42
    @Southamericangirl42 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What a beauty!! Absolutely love the bunks, the master bed and the separate toilet and shower!

  • @madnessintomagic
    @madnessintomagic 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love how the stove is set up, and the unique design of the primary bedroom. Take out the bunks and there’s a huge amount of extra space to expand in to. I’ve been sketching ideas for a bus that converts from home to art studio, hopefully using super light supplies (and safer, like the plexi). This just makes me even more excited to get to do this eventually. Now just need the lottery to cooperate!

  • @hart796

  • @phantomgamer7997
    @phantomgamer7997 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    If I was one of his clients on this build . I would've opted for the refurbished wood look on the ceiling too . I just think it would've given it more of a pop & more of a higher end look . But you can definitely see the difference of a professional builder vs a hobbyist . Nice bus !

  • @corinnelsmith
    @corinnelsmith 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @jcobbs4523

    3 things to keep in mind when buying a bus for this type of thing: 1.) Bring a tape measure because some buses only have an interior height of 5'10", which one may consider getting a different model, or perhaps extending the roof for BOTH headroom and a sufficient amount of insulation. 2.) Check the length of the bus, because in certain states a bus(or any vehicle or total length of vehicle with trailer) that measures over 30 ft., it's required that the driver must posses a CDL. ...and 3.) After running into this issue I decided to change my living & storage format. Imagine your driving your tiny home-vehicle and it's in-need of repair. So you take your vehicle/home into a garage and they inform you that they'll need to keep the vehicle overnight(or longer) to get the part for the job or the job is taking particularly long. Where do you stay now? ...they're not going to let you stay in the vehicle during the time it's in the shop.
    So what I do now, is use a van to sleep in, while I haul a trailer for the rest of my stuff. But I also have the trailer built to-where I can sleep in it, IF my vehicle has to spend the night(or longer) in a mechanic's shop. ...just something to consider ;)

  • @GTLees
    @GTLees 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Right outta the gate I dig that we see that the bus has been painted and looks great. The next thing that struck me was the fantastic woodwork, far-out man! The galley is well planned and looks terrific and that sink is a show stopper. The use of white is brilliant as the rig seems spacious and clean. Your "Master Suite" is outstanding and that shower is the big selling feature. Rad conversion, I'd move in later today! ..............................PEACE!!
