    Like his dry sense of humour: "Didn't want to learn how to weld because I'm half lazy". Any man who can complete such a complex project isn't lazy! She's very fortunate to have such a handy man. If a couple can get through this type of project and still be together, they can get through anything.
    Very well thought out design. Would be interested to know what the total cost was, including the bus purchase.

    I don't know what I'm more impressed by this awesome conversion or the couple who did it. They are both intelligent, articulate and courteous of one another. Each allows the other to speak and never talks over them. I hope I can find someone I gel along that well with some day. VERY well thought-out design throughout. I especially like the decision not to place upper cabinets. It really does help to give the appearance of a larger space. Bravo to both of them!

    Your husband is so hilarious through this whole build... I just imagine the movie Field of Dreams with Kevin Costner... If she ask for it he will build it... This was one of the longest videos I watched on tiny homes and worth every minute... As I was watching I kept saying I don’t know who is the rock star in this relationship but you guys are both freakin geniuses.... This is the best tiny home I have seen the way you guys have nailed it down to build it where it will stay and everything is bolted down where it is not moving and the fact that you took things from thrift stores and anywhere you can and made use of it it super awesome... The only thing that I did not like is that you guys need to do this as a profession... I know your husband works on standard homes and not this whole tiny home on wheels thing but what you guys have created in that space I wish I could hire you guys for when I find a vehicle to build my tiny home you guys would be first ones I would call to build mind.... I love the thought process and that you guys had done the camper van so you knew exactly what you wanted and did not want.... You all have given me so many ideas to think about when I build mine... I love the Murphy bed idea... I love the curtain idea in the back and all the windows that were saved in this build... Your home is so beautiful and inviting...

    I watched this, after working several hours in my garden in the hot sun, and fell asleep four times. Then, after I rested watched it all the way through. It so strongly resonated with me because I have a long list of “must haves” & I recently decided I wasn’t going to compromise on what I want in my schooler. Additionally, I probably have 90% of things I can repurpose, that I LOVE, except for the electrical stuff. This is one of the few videos out of hundreds I’ve watched that really aligns with my own sensibilities for style, comfort, personalization and practicality. Thanks for sharing. New subbie.

    I have been contemplating a bus build, for some time, and love what you have done. The reason why you breaker trips on the switch over is because of one power supply is out of phase with the other. When it switches, it looks like a short circuit for a few seconds. The only way to fix it is with a syncing board that may or may not be installed in your inverter / charger. That would match the phase angle and let you switch back and forth. If it doesn't support syncing, you can open the the load breaker for a few seconds and make the power swap and then turn it back on.

    This is an amazing build. I love how he asked her what she wanted and made it happen. Some of my favorite things are how he built the beds, the full bathroom, the not losing any windows unless absolutely necessary and finding a way to keep it open by not having all the upper cabinets that most rv’s have, the window film, the kitchen idea about not needing to put in a stovetop etc.
    this bus was very thoughtfully designed.

Nothing was left to chance or sacrificed right down to your curtains, matching knobs, smoking cabin on the wall, little secured suitcases, beds, fold down deck, and well everything! So well thought out. Don’t listen to those complaining about your talking too much. You said nothing that was extraneous, and explained every great detail and idea so anybody who is interested could use your fabulous ideas. Those who complained obviously missed a lot of useful information and detail. So, glad I saved and got a chance to come back and watch the whole video. Just an amazing effort.

    This is the best Bus build I have seen on the "Whole Internet Platform" and if you wanna know my opinion on Why?....just read my long comment and see why I rate this Bus as 'Number 1" that I have ever seen and I am a binge internet / TH-cam and Tiny Home Video watcher and Tiny Home Owner.
    First of all, I give this couple a big thumbs up for atleast having their rig under a pavilion and having Cool Seal Paint on their roof. The Sun can affect it even in the Winter. He is also definitely right about painting in the Alabama heat. Most paint and body shops in Alabama paint any vehicles inside their shops in a climate controlled / air flow, in what they call a "Paint Booth". It basically looks like a white tent set up inside a garage so no dust or debris can blow onto the Vehicle as it is being painted. It's crazy how bad our heat affects everything in Alabama. The Alabama Summer Sun destroyed a Bumper Pull RV we had in about 3 or 4 years. Just having it parked and set up by the river that long made everything Sun damaged and it felt dry rotted. Like anything plastic like back up lights, trim around the edges and windows just crumbled. Which in turn eventually made that RV basically shrink up and start leaking in areas and then when it rained it came in and just started making everything start to mold. The RV's they sell now for all that money are not waterproof at all. The ONLY waterproof RV's are the Airstreams and the Little Fiberglass ones called "Scamps", "Escapes",and "Casitas", that look like two Eggs put together with a plastic strip on the side sealing it together. But you still have to keep a watch on the plastic fans they put in the roofs and the plastic seal around the side and sometimes they put a hole in the roof for a wood burning stove. So really Airstreams are the ONLY Waterproof RV's. This couple is so smart going with a Bus and the idea of running the fans out the side of the bus is genius. He really could design some great builds with great long lasting ideas that are waterproof to your tiny home or bus. I absolutely applaud this couple for all of their ideas on this and it was their first time. Just imagine if they did it for a living now that they know the process. I recommend this Bus as Number 1 that I have seen so far on the whole internet platform so far. And this whole video explains why. They are really kick ass in this build. Keep on Tiny Homing!!!!!!!!!!!

    Very cool! Love some of the things like the moveable wall, narrow cabinets and the bed liner on the bottom. The ladder to the roof deck idea is pure genius and I will be stealing that for my bus when I build it. A long video but worth the watch. Love that you guys explained why you did certain things the way you did. Everyone has their own priorities and that's what makes each Skoolie unique.

    I’ll admit it… I’ve watched this video over and over again over a few years not only for inspiration, but to watch these wonderful souls build a true home! What a lucky pair you are to have found each other! What a handy guy! I love the little box house he built to solve an issue only to have “smoke” coming out of its chimney! He’s so clever throughout the entire build! Can we clone him? Just thought I’d leave a note to say this has been a video of reminders… to appreciate what others can bring to you… even though you may never meet them… this forum can bring inspiration to many and may even touch a life that needs touching.

    This is the best BusRv I have seen. Many creative fixes that look so professional. And having done the entire thing yourselves you will know how to repair anything that ends up needing it. The white window treatments that allow you to see out, but don't display your live to the world are the finishing touch. Others doing buses can learn a lot here.

    It's so special what you've both done with the bus. I especially like your bed & the bathroom. The top deck is special too. Your husband is so inventive the way he configures everything out to make it work. That in itself is a special skill. Would have cost you a fortune to have someone come in & do all the things he did. You're both very smart & use your imagination to get things done. I also like the deal with the stationary suitcases, now that's clever. Thanks for showing us how you did everything. Oh, have you thought about putting a small wall mount or clip on fan down on the floor area when you drive to keep it a little cooler? Just a thought. Take care in your travels & God bless you all.

The king size bed is ingenious. Adding the ladder to the roof is great. The deck is great. I love the diffuser "house" . I really like the big bathroom with the great shower. Great storage everywhere.

    I especially love the little wooden house/cabin that he came up with for the diffuser...
    The fact that he made it so that when it was in use it would look like smoke was coming out the chimney is pretty damn ingenious and impressive‼️‼️
    I loved watching & learning about every bit of the bus...

The storage ideas from the large to the small cut suitcase shelf in the bathroom is awesome 😉 Just remember all those strips of fabric will get nasty, dusty, dirty especially if you ever tour Arizona or other southwestern states. I hope you figured out how your going to keep them clean? Lol! But other than that....SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!!
