The Chandler family thought that they were living the dream when they first moved to their ranch in Montana, but knew that something was missing. They missed exploring and realized that they didn't have to put adventure on hold just because they had children. Their school bus home has given them the ability to enjoy quality time as a family without having to sacrifice travel and they couldn't be happier with their decision. Their bus features a fabricated loft where their children can sleep, a large farm style sink, a bathroom, king sized bed, coffee nook, & a large couch, perfect for the whole family.

---EXCELLENT tour! You 2 are very personal & relaxed with your presentation. I'm a Transit van dweller & dont watch many schoolie videos, but yours caught my attention from the very beginning! Well done 👍 And a quick note to those hanging in limbo: DO IT! Make the jump! Sell everything or temporarily store it. Get a bucket for toilet, camp stove for cooking, coleman extreme cooler that really holds ice for 5 days, a sleeping pad & bag and off you go. Spend your 1st night at Walmart or REI or in your driveway... But do it! I was 70 yrs young when my ESA chihuahua & I took off in our new Wheel-estate Sept 1 a couple yrs ago. I regret not having done so 20 yrs sooner. Traveled on savings the 1st 5 months thru Central Oregon, then down to Quartsite. Feb 2022 we got approved to be a horse camp host with Oregon State Parks and we are now living the dream, esp as a horsewoman without a horse [my Shiloh passed away in 2019 after 29 yrs together]!!! Waking up to another day in Paradise, with a new spectacular front yard every 3-4 months, free rent, laundry & great folks to work with, is not a dream but reality. I just had to make the jump! Happy trails, Ms. CharLee👵 Nikki 🐕 Angel🚐
This is actually one of the best skoolie builds I have seen. It looks really comfortable and quite cozy. Congratulations.
I'll tag this rig with "Lengthy List Of Lovables". It's serene with the main colors being timeless in soft white & indigo. There are intriguing and unique features...kid's loft, concealed coffee bar, stealth TV, incognito wall heater, shower porthole, escape hatch doubles/triples as pass-thru & Mom intercom. 😉😆
Wishing this gorgeous couple and their sweet fam, safe and joyful journeys.
Great idea having the loft. Have not see that before. Perfect bedroom space for your 4 yr old.
LIKE: Bamboo shelves, faux concrete shower walls, shower porthole, train horn, loft and start link.
Beautiful build! Happy family. Lovely life!
So gorgeous, love the uniqueness of some of the features. Love it.
" always scheming" lol I love that they have a plan to help others. He sounds like a great dad!
There's a lot of great ideas packed into this bus! Thanks for the tour! 💕💕
It would look super awesome if they did some kind of reflectic gold or copper on their bedroom ceiling. It would 1. Break up the white a little bit and add more interest but also make it feel bigger than it is. And it would look really cool with the uplighting they have along the walls and it would bounce that light around really pretty!😊
That’s an awesome idea ❤
Any kid would just love that loft! And I love the netting for safety. Looks so cool! And it's so open & airy! Everything is designed so great.
Love your outlook on life! Happy trails to you!
And sharing your beautiful little family with us. :)
Really amazing bus!! Thanks for inviting us into your home!!
Ty for the bus tour, your build is amazing!
❤❤LOVE IT!❤❤
Thanks for sharing
GRACIAS MUY BELLO VIDEO ❤
Love this bus build!! Interior design is beautiful. Love the blue couch/kitchen. 💙🗺🧭📍Good luck on your travels.
Love it! So nice meeting you both. Hope our paths cross again. Sonny and Renee
Loved your video. And your skoolie is awesome! Seems like a perfect lifestyle for your family.
Simply beautiful!
WE HAD A 28 FT CLASS A WITH A 3/4 SIZE BED AND A BATH ! LOVED IT !
Love love love everything about this bus and beautiful family!!! My kids are all grown and I'm now experiencing and enjoying the beauty of grandchildren but I so wish this bus life had been a "thing" when mine were little!! I admire their sense of adventure and their ability to just make it happen. Great memories for everyone. I look forward to following their adventures on social!!
Love this little bus! It’s so well thought-out and it’s even more beautiful in person! We got to tour it and meet this lovely family at the Bus Fair!
Gorgeous Bus! Talented couple and very loving parents! Best wishes on your travels!
Very nicely done!
So, I'm watching this going "Okay, yeah, Okay, yeah." Seen this, and you say you're looking for advice from some long termers, and I'm "Yeah, that makes sense." Everything looks like you got it under control completely. (You have already done your learning curve.) Then you move outside. Hello? That garage is incredible. Starlink, etc. Duh! You guys should be giving advice. Like DC having to come from China? Absolutely great job! May your family have great adventures, success, and learnings together!
She is too cute, and the hubby looks like Gerard Butler! Nice build.😊
Where does the little girl sleep? Just curious lol. Awesome build! I would love to call this my home! ❤️❤️
We co-sleep with the baby still
Great build, cute couple !!
Glad you mentioned Chuck Cassidy .. he's the best !!
Happy Trails 🎶🎶
Where are the seatbelts for the 4 of you when the bus is being driven?
How do you deal with routine medical care?
Laundry?
These are the kinds of practical, mundane things that are rarely/never mentioned in these videos and I always wonder about.
This is a phenomenal build y'all! Please give yourselves more credit. The layout is so open and homey, you literally have more than so many busses out there including bigger ones! This literally looks like a house. Nice wall work, everything is so crisp. That lil boys area is so awesome! Your bathroom is perfection. And an actual BIG SCREEN TV, and not a little flimsy projector screen. Plus a king bed and a u shaped sectional. A medicine cabinet that's an entire wall and not the pots and pans cabinet. Like seriously guys! You guys should be teaching even if you're "new"❤ and its a middy too!
Most organized garage tool area!!
cute lovely style 🔮🩵🔮🩵🔮🩵🔮🩵🔮🩵🔮🩵🔮🩵🔮🩵🔮🩵🔮🩵🩵
I absolutely love your bus. That sink is amazing, I want one too.
Love it! Thanks for sharing ❤
We have had five campers in our life, from motorcycle pop up campers, to class C, to tow behinds, but never traveled full time, nor is it necessary to empty your bucket list, it just takes more annual planning and an employer who is willing to be flexible.
We have been to Australia, Ireland, Panama, (Germany, France, and Switzerland in two trips). At 77, we didn't have work from home, internet, TH-cam, or solar, so full time was not extremely easy like today, however we also have been to every state, most before retirement but the last dozen or so in the NE since retirement. Therefore, I can agree that being full time nomads is easy today, and should be done if practical, but it isn't necessary to see what full timers see... (We still camp with our drones, electric bikes, and camper.)
I could never eat out of that kitchen.
Lovely traveling home!
Awesome bus build y'all did there your kids have 2 very cool parents 👍
Hi from Cornwall in the UK. That's a gorgeous home and bus you have there. We don't have roads big enough to cope with a vehicle that size here but it looks fantastic.
You are a beautiful family and you have a beautiful home and your children are so lucky to have you and vice versa.
Awesome build and lookout
That loft is so cool and not something i've seen before in a bus build!
They’re the Joanna & Chip Gaines of bus life. Love the quality, innovative design and organization. Nice build.
Love them. Cute couple!
Just spotted yall in south texas, loved the matching jeep color with the bus
Lv you bus love your coffee place you have so many wonderful ideas.I like your idea of having things for other bus builders.
🎉🎉 ENJOY your life and travel safe 🙏
Saw you guys on SPID just before rodfield exit in Corpus Christi TX , I was in the school bus that past you and exited Ennis Joslin around 5:40 pm Wednesday the 4
Great bus and great family. Saw this at the Bus Fair and he sat in the bus all day (or 3) and answered every question that anyone had and seemed like he could talk for days and it never gets old. I specially loved the sink cover butcher block that doubles as a table. Such great idea that I never thought of! Thanks again for sharing!
Love your bus💙
---WOW! You nailed it with the trash compactor! Trash is as big a challenge as toilet faciities. If you're boondocking where wild animals live, NOT hanging bear or big cat bait is imperative, soooo trash compactor is a fabulous solution! You are the 1st I've seen with this resource... Back to video...
Awesome build
Beautiful rebuild of your bus 💙 love the design ☀️🌹🌻💕🙏🌏🤠😎🐨🦎🦘
You guy's did such a great job with this build and believe me I've seen a bunch ! I believe this is my favorite . Great job again !
Smart idea. Trance the most while The kids are young and save money 4 retirement.
That's my goal and then travel and settle when they are older
LOVELY BUILD !! I WOULD PREFER A REAR ENGIN THO !!
Love it ❤
Love this! Excellent!!💓
Love it
Do they have a page to follow?
we do! @sundancebus
Great build! Nice choices and love the trash compactor.
Beautiful build
Train horn! Yes!😂
Not too keen on bathing children and animals in the sink where my dishes go. But to each its own. You can make a thanksgiving dinner. It would just be a small one. A turkey breast with a loaf size stuffing would fit perfectly. Even if cooked separately. Then you make your other sides on your stove top. And I’m sure you can bake a pie in your oven!
Can you guys share the info on the faux concrete shower and the cool shower head? Thanks!
Where are all your stuff? Your home can not be this empty with kids. I want to see a real-life living to inspire me 😂😂
Bougie
This is really beautiful. Very well organized. Nice open, airy feel. I wish they had spent more time showing us how they store stuff. A bike? A starlink? Clothing? Items for resale? Where is all this stuff stored?
We have two storage boxes under the bus and a waterproof container up top. We also pull a jeep that ends up with a full trunk of stuff!
We’re does the baby sleep and Wer will you put their bed room wen older???
Baby sleeps with us still and we can turn the couch into an additional bed.
Looks like your in trouble on the power end of things!
Hey. Wondering what your guys plan might be when the kiddos get older? Looking into doing a bus but I want my daughter to have privacy at some point like her own changing room at least.
Nice! Did I miss where the baby sleeps, or is she always with mom and dad? 😊
Great build out. My concern with raising kids... They're making lots of friends, but how many will be long lasting, lifetime friends? In my 60s, best friends with whom I share childhood memories are invaluable.
We don’t plan on living in a bus when the kiddos are in grade school, lifelong friends are important for us too!
QUESTION: Do you have to be a bus owner to attend the fair they refer to? And do you have a link to the organizers?
Wish we could see more of the bus than the peps
Could you please share the link to your coffee maker?
no disrespect i honor you guys as a married couple your wife is soooooo pretty she looks like the young cybillsheppard and your husband is super fine.you’re just a lovely couple.
Hai verry nice 👍
I am India
I "Kind of " like this video 😉
Internet? What is this thing you speak of? Great bus build but if you are planning a brand, dad needs some in front of the camera work. But heck, maybe it will work; you never know.
lol
How does your son get up to the loft?
Where does the baby sleep?
we co-sleep with the baby still
Where does baby sleep?
Nice build. Sadly the poor guy builds the thing, drives the thing, and is generally used like a simp packhorse by the wife.
I want to run my own online business. Help. Lol I've checked out so many things. I know you have to advertise. I am low, very low , income. Ideas?😊
Super unrealistic build for the majority of Americans.
That’s the beauty of building your own…you can build it however you see fit, not as the majority would.
How to let the children taking bath in the sink? My God. You can’t mix things like that! The sink is where you wash you food everything! This is about hygiene matters! You only think for yourself I think!
All babies I have ever know have been bathed in the sink 😊 I was and I turned out ok… different cultures, different people ❤
You aren't an 80's child, are you 😂
All of the children in my family were bathed in the sink as babies and toddlers.
I guess you would not like me bathing my dog in the sink! It’s called sanitizing before and after. 😂😂
You have to be kidding. Children have always been bathed in the sink
Where does the baby sleep?
Baby sleeps with us in the big bed still
@@SundanceBusbabies and children have a tendency to grow really quickly- have you started planning space to accommodate them?
