    I like how your bedroom isn't overly eloquent compared to where the children sleep. I noticed some bus parents jamming their kids in there but having a big sanctuary for themselves.

      Many I’ve seen just have a tiny bunk for the kids with no shelving for personal items or individualality. Some I’ve seen even have the kids just sleeping on the couch.

    I actually love the emergency exit in the shower! It would be a perfect place to bring messy/muddy kids in from outside! If you ever tire of the little curtain you could buy frosted glass "sticker" stuff at a hardware store that you could put on your window there so you don't have to worry about any peepers.

    That’s so funny- we traveled for 7 months with four suitcases with our two kids, in 2017, visiting 11 countries. Two years later, we sold our house in Toronto and moved to Spain, ostensibly for a year, but now we are in our second year and strongly considering a third. I love what you did with your bus- and I know that all our kids who have experienced this kind of thing will grow up valuing material things less, and experiences more. ❤️

      Its great reading families living out the box, & living the dream with their children, what great adventures your children must have experienced whilst travelling. When i moved my teenaged children as a single working mother onto a narrow boat, it taught them so much about materialism & actually kept them safe from the ways of this cruel world we live in.
      They are all adults & fiercely independant now in houses, but i can safely say they understand lifes values & appreciate nature because of their life journey on a boat. They all work full time and appreciate everything taking nothing for granted!
      I shall be returning back to a rented house temporarily, so I can work on my van project to live my dream and travel in a van one day.
      Unfortunately, electricity is a huge problem on a boat and constant cruising hinders work but i don't regret my boating experience. Im not getting any younger & realise that van life can only be a hobby as in time to come I shall be retired and will be on a pension!
      Hense, pulling in a 20 ton boat by a single rope is not realistic at 65 years of age 😊

    I have to give this couple a kudos for ONE really important thing they did! THESE PARENTS MADE GREAT SPACE FOR THEIR KIDS! Most of these bus builders build great space for themselves and leave the kids with NOTHING but bed space! I absolutely HATE that! The kids don't have space for any of THEIR toys if they can't fit on the bed! I think that is SO incredibly selfish, especially when the parents build space for themselves! I applaud these parents for creating a lovely space JUST for the kids! KUDOS! Fantastic bathroom & GREAT space for those children! This build warms my heart! This was one of the most unselfish builds I have ever seen! Those kids have GREAT spaces with GREAT storage! I have so much respect for you guys as parents for how you did this build! I wish you all the absolute best! With your attitude and teamwork, I'm sure your travels will bring you great joy! I love your kids too! They are spirited and happy! Subscribed! Great, great build!

    The L-shape layout and the interior design is the best I've seen on any skoolie. The raised ceiling makes it so much homier. There's privacy for the sleeping and bathroom area. The bathroom is all in one place, unlike most skoolies where the toilet is separate from the shower. I also like that the shower floor is lower because it makes the bathroom bigger. You have a washer/dryer combo, which I think is an absolute essential. I don't know how others can live without one.
    You guys are great homemakers, and it shows in your lovely, cozy home.

    This thing is huge! I had fully decided that Mom and Dad must just sleep on the couches and then bingo bango, there's still more bus 🤣. I'm sure in reality it's no bigger than a lot of the buses I've seen but this design is fantastic... Pretty sure I'm going to steal it if I never lucky enough to be able to live the bus dream. I love the sunken shower, I love the refrigerator and pantry in the "hall", instead of putting the fridge at the end of the sofa and taking up all of that space. The loft over the cockpit? Are you kidding me?
    I've been watching bus builds for over 5 years and this is absolutely the best one I've ever seen... Amazing!

    This is an AMAZING build for a family 😍 I love how the kids sleeping area doesn't feel too cramped and how they have a separate area just for them. That gives them a little more personal space. Having a separation between the parents bed and kids beds is also important to me. Its a cozy little area for their bedroom. And there IS an advantage to having the emergency door in the shower. If the kids get too dirty you can hose them off by sticking the shower head outside haha

    The designer of this RV has a great sense to give this bus a homey look. The little hallway and the turn it takes to the bedroom. I also have to appreciate kids bunk space, colourful and organised and spacious; only the master bedroom could have windows to make it functional and open since for the whole house it is the only place feels cramped but the whole layout is just wonderful.

    He loves her and she loves him! I stop myself from talking because my dad used to make fun of me and mock me for getting excited about things and wanting to share what was on my mind. My boyfriend and my good friends helped me learn that it was ok to be myself and that my excitement and talkative nature is one of the reasons they love me. It's ok to be yourself and she seemed excited to share their beautiful home with us and he seemed happy to hear what she had to say too. It hurts my feelings to see all these negative comments about her talking over him and interrupting him. If it bothered him they wouldn't be a family and we wouldn't be watching this video!
