Cute! Not just your Bus. I love your upbeat attitude and smile. Great job on your new home on wheels. I pray you stay happy, healthy and have safe travels. May Father God bless you both. Sending you hugs and love, Linda
I watch a lot of these conversions ( waiting for the day ... ) and yours is a lovely, well thought out design. An intelligent and resolved combination of form v. function. Ideas such as separating the wet bath and toilet which allows a small vanity will add living space you will much appreciate travelling in close proximity to each other. Using a chest fridge indicates you have really researched your options as everyone knows they are so much more efficient than the archaic side opening fridges that spill out cold air in cascades each time they are opened. Your choice of colours and finishes are beautiful. The distressed wash on the ceiling and the white wainscoting topped with the warm stained pine work beautifully. The decision to use wood has really enriched the aesthetic of your interior and is definitely worth all the extra hard work I am sure it entailed. The details you must have sweated over (the ceiling for example) are so worth it for the fabulous end result. A lot of tongue and groove ceilings on bus conversions use pine that is quite wide. I noticed yours was much narrower and it looked so much better for it. More work no doubt but a really good design choice. Other excellent decisions were your fabrics, the non-built in comfy couch and the restrained and tasteful colour palette which combined to achieve a lovely conversion. The layout is functional and maximises liveable space. The wood stove is the cherry on top. Well done. I would love to see more of your bus as you live in it and experience the joys of all your hard work. Thank you.
Liz Steeds WOW! What an astounding comment! Thank you SO much for your kind words. We truly appreciate how you admire all the small details of our bus. Most people can’t fathom the amount of work, and thought, that goes into a project like this, but you did an amazing job at explaining our work. Thank you!!
@@TheRoamingLions Well I was going to leave my own nice comment but I can't really beat the things said here. So I'll just say Ditto! Haha! I will add I think putting in the bunks for future renting use is such a excellent well thought out idea! Wtg! I do have a question. How long is your bus? Thanks!
Liz Steeds you are such a sweet young couple .i love all of the hard work you put into your plans ,you thought of everything needed to travel.I wish you safe and fun in your travels"
I must agree with all the nice things that you have said, you hit the nail on the head with the words you wrote to explain how nicely and how much hard work was put into their home!! 😀
My first impression was..... finally, a real sofa! When I see the straight bench seating, I can never imagine it comfy for a movie, reading or my crochet. The wainscoting and wood ceiling are beautiful touches.
If I had a better memory, I would not comment several times, but (sorry) your thermal/reflectix window coverings will be useful with extreme temperatures - cold AND hot. They will also give you shade and help keep the bus cooler when it is really hot out. Just FYI.
Rebecca Adams haha thats OKAY to comment multiple times! I think I sound silly and awkward on camera, and forget to say things that I mean to say. Yes, we know this and love them for those reasons!! Thank you again!!
I'm chuckling over all the online shopping mentioned ... some people do cute interiors from scratch on the cheap or from a trash pile. This is just as valid a way to express one's self, one's style, and who doesn't love shopping in their pajamas?
Too many things I love about your build to mention them all, but the pantry is excellent, and I appreciate separating the bathing area from the toilet area. You seem to have some extra room here and there, which is nice. It looks to me that you may have room in your utility closet or under one of your beds to add solar later. Great tour and wonderful build!
Catherine Moore thanks so much for your sweet comments! I’m glad you loved our bus. Yes, we would love to add solar in the future, so I think you are totally right, either spaces could be great for that!
I found myself with this huge smile on my face watching her and his voice is so supportive and encouraging. Love what you did with your build. Both contributed you can tell.
Fantastic! Seriously though. I’ve looked at tons of bus tours and honestly yours is probably the best I’ve seen. Neat, tidy, efficient and a lot of style. Great job!
I'll tell ya after watching a massive amount of videos of ideas, you ate my favorite. your dialog is informative an di really like your delivery. most videos I mute because their voice is annoying.. But I really feel comfortable listening to your your dialog. GREAT JOB KIDO.. Koooodoooos...... Very impressed. . You both Rocked it by being real...
I don't know if anyone else said it, but I would suggest adding a privacy curtain for the upper bunk too. This allows the guest to feel like they have privacy
Don't worry about the knives. If anything bad enough happens for them to come loose and cause trouble, the knives will be the least of your problems. :) Great build. Looking forward to following you.
Great Job guys!👏 So Inspiring❤ Big fan of the separate shower & toilet "rooms", and love the air BnB idea!💰👍 Good luck, have fun, & thanks for sharing with us!🤙
I really like the lay out of the bus, i hope you really enjoy it i would live in it full time to save money etc, there is so many positives in this build and not a cluttered build.
Highly recommend solar, even if it's just a stand-alone unit you can setup whenever you're parked. Love the use of a commercial couch and the space for your fridge could easily fit an apartment standard fridge/freezer if you ever wanted to upgrade/change. Looks really cozy, hope you have fun on your trip!
Y'all must be newlyweds. Could play a drinking game w how many times u said "my husband". It's adorable. I was the same way. Congratulations on ur marriage and new home. Beautiful conversion
EBeth226 haha this really made me laugh! We sure do love to say that. We’ve actually almost been married for almost 3 years, but he’s my best friend for sure! Thank you SO much! 😃
I definitely recommend setting up Amazon affiliate links for all the Amazon things you're showing. You could have made some decent money off this video. Still shouldn't be too late.
Love it great job 👍 the only change I would make is the shower room is nice size you should have made the whole thing a shower instead of that small round pan you could have tiled the whole thing
This looks like it was made professionally it is very well built and for the knife problem if you are afraid abt them flying off get another magnet and stick it against the knives
Jaddin Da fat shep Wow! Thank you! My husband and his father did most of the work! We did our very best. And the knives haven’t been an issue at all, but many people have recommended that, so thank you!
@@TheRoamingLions I think the knife issue is more of in an accident the bus may stop suddenly and the knife could come off the magnet but for normal driving even rough driving it may not. Do you have any idea of seats for other than the 2? Seat belts for kids if a family went with. Beautiful job nice presentation. The stoves also have a little plate you can attach to the side that leaves an air gap between the stove and the plate then many have a zero clearance to the added plate.
I absolutely love your bus. The bunk beds are in a great spot, and I think that was a great idea. You have a lot of room and storage space. A lot of great ideas. Thanks for showing us.
yes, aides is right! we used to spray lysol weekly and still got mildew :( might be better off to roll up those unused mattresses and only set them up when needed?
-GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to compliment you on your work and how well thought out your bus is! I could only hope I could do even half as good as you've done. Good ideas and It all functions well I'm sure. I would love to be traveling in it touring the country as you're planing to. You did a nice job explaining every thing as well. I would love to see the outside as well and what it looks like. Technical 's as well would be interesting too. Did you install a holding tank, dumping system, water fills, fresh water hookup, AC condenser, L P gas tanks, and things like that for example. Again a really good job on it all! I'm subscribing and plan to follow your adventures. Very respectfully, JOHN
JOHN SPURLING thank you very much!! Check out our other video about living in the bus for 1 month. We take you on a tour of the outside of the bus and explain a lot of the questions you have! Let us know if you have more and we’d be happy to explain!
Thanks for sharing I been telling my better half now that we are hitting retirement I want to get rid of everything narrow it done to a couple tees & Jean's one pair of boots and sneaks and travel state to state live traveling! We been together 37 yrs. We did the entire adulting it's time for us again our boat , skie jets and roll . I been watching these camper homes, van living on TH-cam & thank you to you and others showing these cute homes I'm ready so ready ...Blessings to all ! 🌹
Susan Michaelson great question! We haven’t ran any water through our pipes in fear of that issue. What that said, within the next couples days we will probably fill up our water tank because we are now in Savannah, GA. We will let you know how it all works!
The Roaming Lion's checkout how to weatherize your RV videos they will show you how to do it. One thing they did was to make a skirt that attaches to the sides of the bus/RV when parked and this keeps the underside warmer and helps prevent freezing . You could attach it with magnets that are attached to the skirt. One person added a few grommets on the lower edge so that a metal steak with a hook could go through an keep the bottom in place. Plus you can store things under there when your stopped for a bit. How are planning to do laundry on the road? If you are washing by hand or have just a washer bring some plastic covered wire like that used for a dog tether that you string on poles or from tree to tree. One family has a dehumidifier near the bathroom and has built in racks and rods to hang the clothes they shut the doors or curtains enclosing the area and turn on the dehumidifier and it dries the clothes. They even had a toddler in cloth diapers.
Merilora Duncan we’ve been doing our laundry at a laundromat about every 2 weeks. It’s worked out so far even though I’ve realized how expensive it can be! Love your ideas you gave us and will probably be using those in the future!
Nice home. Only question I have is, how do you watch tv? What I mean is if you need cable to see shows. Do you only watch videos then? I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Thanks.
We don’t have cable. We watch Netflix or DVDs. We have a special adapter from Apple that allows us to plug our iPhone into an hdmi so it is displayed on the TV screens. Hope that makes sense lol.
Nice bus! And you two are funny! I think you are trying to say Provencial. Pro VIN shul. You might have switched the i and the c. Or the label designer did. It happens. It means something close to ‘old fashioned ‘. Furniture design, wood stain, someone’s values are often referred to as “provencial”. The literal meaning is more ‘regional’ like referring to some of a certain neighborhood or region or country. But it now seems to also refer to an age group. Maybe it is a modification of the word or maybe they were referring to something that I saw as old fashioned not knowing that it was more regional than I knew. In which case I am right in the middle of one of the regions and don’t even know it. 🤪
Beautiful you did an incredible job! It looks stylish classy well put together and I like it that you got a real fireplace that pellet burners nice size! it's not like the tiny little thing you always see people putting in those tiny wood burners too small.... your bathroom is pretty !your shower too! everything well-designed.
Be careful with those lamps in the bunks. My sister caught her teddy on fire when it was just leaning on it. They get hot. Especially if you are going to do air bnb.
Marcelle Warner oh wow! Thanks for that tip! We don’t use ours too often now, but great point about if we rent it out in the future! I’ll have to turn ours on for a bit and see if they get hot!
I have a bed like that, twin size to sofa. One of my favorite buys, a comfortable piece and a two in one for my tiny space. I bought mine at the Salvation Army, then reupholstered it in denim... dislike the brown color even though it was in good condition.
Great job 👍 I really like your conversion, Perfect style 😊It‘s definitively an advantage to have toilet and shower separated. That‘s how we‘re coverting our Skoolie as well Best wishes from Germany Wolfgang
I know nothing about pellet stoves, so forgive the dumb question: is it usable when driving down the road? Do you have to worry about carbon monoxide when you are sleeping? This is a lovely, well thought out rv, be proud of yourselves. 🤗
Linda Johnsen We have never used it while driving because we use the heat from the bus motor. We keep carbon monoxide alarms in the bus mostly for our generators to make sure we do not have any leaks. But with a pellet stove you should never have to worry about carbon monoxide. They burn extremely efficient and circulate clean air. Thank you very much. We really appreciate it
This is the best rebuild I have ever seen, you have everything you could ever need and still it doesn't feel crowded. Great Video! Thank you for sharing all your gifts, Happy travels to you both, it's a lovely home!
Well thought out. Sooooo beautiful !!! I really love this. This is the BEST bus conversion I have seen!!! Such a cute couple. I hope you have amazing adventures. 😊
It's beautiful! I love what you've done and the pellet stove seems amazing! I will have to research those more! I love working with my wood burning stove, but I do not like waking up to a cold home when my fire has gone out, or when there is not wind outside to make a draft and the fire won't catch or burn hot enough! So I can see the benefit of a pellet stove for sure! Great job!
Bentley Wisdom thank you very much! Yes the pellet stove is great for keeping us cozy while sleeping. We fill it up in right before bed and your good until late morning! We love it so far!
That’s wonderful. I assume you have smoke and carbon monoxide detectors too, just to be safe, and if you rent it on AirBnB they will most likely require those safety features.
America by pop up William Blair that’s okay, we realize its long, but wanted to add information to help other people building a skoolie! Thanks for the feedback!
Such a wonderful video... my plans for the near future (2 years) include a renovated school bus.... you've given me some ideas for incorporation into my plan... Thank you! Wishing you a wonderful adventure!
This is the best shower & toilet bathroom option I have seen so far. Very nice!

This is the best children sleeping arrangements I've seen in a bus so far. It's very open. Not too claustrophobic. Good job. Very nice bus too

Love that u have a couch and the chair near the driver seat so u can keep each other company on trips

Who thumbs down this? Really? Makes me sad that there are people who can find something negative about something so beautiful.
Don't worry about the knives. If anything bad enough happens for them to come loose and cause trouble, the knives will be the least of your problems. :) Great build. Looking forward to following you.

Nice home. Only question I have is, how do you watch tv? What I mean is if you need cable to see shows. Do you only watch videos then? I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Thanks.
We don’t have cable. We watch Netflix or DVDs. We have a special adapter from Apple that allows us to plug our iPhone into an hdmi so it is displayed on the TV screens. Hope that makes sense lol.
Nice bus! And you two are funny! I think you are trying to say Provencial. Pro VIN shul. You might have switched the i and the c. Or the label designer did. It happens. It means something close to ‘old fashioned ‘. Furniture design, wood stain, someone’s values are often referred to as “provencial”. The literal meaning is more ‘regional’ like referring to some of a certain neighborhood or region or country. But it now seems to also refer to an age group. Maybe it is a modification of the word or maybe they were referring to something that I saw as old fashioned not knowing that it was more regional than I knew. In which case I am right in the middle of one of the regions and don’t even know it. 🤪
Rebecca Adams haha too funny! Thanks for the lesson, you totally got it right! I was most definitely pronouncing it wrong. 🤦🏻♀️
So well done. Enjoy your year!
Claire Bearoness thank you so much!
Beautiful you did an incredible job! It looks stylish classy well put together and I like it that you got a real fireplace that pellet burners nice size! it's not like the tiny little thing you always see people putting in those tiny wood burners too small.... your bathroom is pretty !your shower too! everything well-designed.
PAUSE @36:32 to read the cute poem "LOVE GROWS..." It's on the wall to the right, before she shows the bedroom
Be careful with those lamps in the bunks. My sister caught her teddy on fire when it was just leaning on it. They get hot. Especially if you are going to do air bnb.
Marcelle Warner oh wow! Thanks for that tip! We don’t use ours too often now, but great point about if we rent it out in the future! I’ll have to turn ours on for a bit and see if they get hot!
As you get time and money replace with led lights. More energy efficient and much safer.
LED bulbs will take care of the heat issue.
Yep this old Dad would agree. Safety First.
My wife has a light that is similar to that, but LED. She leaves it all night, and it NEVER gets hot!
I Love How inmaculated Clean and Well Organize you have your "Home".
I have a bed like that, twin size to sofa. One of my favorite buys, a comfortable piece and a two in one for my tiny space. I bought mine at the Salvation Army, then reupholstered it in denim... dislike the brown color even though it was in good condition.
Rebecca Treeseed sounds like you found a great piece!! Thank you!
Rebecca Treeseed Has day was
This is the best bus conversion I've seen yet!! Great job!
Great job 👍 I really like your conversion, Perfect style 😊It‘s definitively an advantage to have toilet and shower separated. That‘s how we‘re coverting our Skoolie as well
Best wishes from Germany

Wolfgang Wilbois thank you! Yes, we are already enjoying the benefits of this layout!
Nice very tastefully decorated. Like having a sofs.
Marilyn Abbott thank you! Yes, we wanted it to be comfortable!
One of the best conversions I have seen. Excellent. Love it.
Bem Union wow! Such a nice comment! Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
I know nothing about pellet stoves, so forgive the dumb question: is it usable when driving down the road? Do you have to worry about carbon monoxide when you are sleeping? This is a lovely, well thought out rv, be proud of yourselves. 🤗
Linda Johnsen We have never used it while driving because we use the heat from the bus motor. We keep carbon monoxide alarms in the bus mostly for our generators to make sure we do not have any leaks. But with a pellet stove you should never have to worry about carbon monoxide. They burn extremely efficient and circulate clean air. Thank you very much. We really appreciate it
This is the best rebuild I have ever seen, you have everything you could ever need and still it doesn't feel crowded. Great Video! Thank you for sharing all your gifts, Happy travels to you both, it's a lovely home!
Lovin it. You did a great job. One of my favorites.
I love this build so much 😍😍
L E N A yay! So glad you love. Thanks!!
This is the best skoolie I have seen. Bathrooms and showers are a must and love the 2 rooms. Beautifully done
Very well thought out, excellent layout of every area.
Ronald Dvorak thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed it!
I like the separate shower/ toilet. BRILIANT!! Very useful!
Sheri desmarais thanks. We wanted to be able to use the bathroom if someone wanted to shower at the same time.
I loved to the moment with your dog and the music! Hehe. Awww.
Amazing school bus!!
Veggie Voyager haha thanks! Glad you enjoyed it too!
Clever job making the window insulation panels! Great ideas
Sheri desmarais thanks, they work extremely well.
I was watching you guys because my friend was interested with i life on the road and you are very organized and very clean , I like that great bus
Tammy N thank you, we tried really hard to keep it as clean as possible. Thanks for watching
mersades engine bless your heart engine work will cost a nightmare
1.5x playback speed is great
Minnesota gal thanks!
You guys did a wonderful job and because you did it yourselves , you'll enjoy it much more 😊
Fatima Darif thank you so much. It was a lot of hard work, but worth it in the end. Thanks for watching
A great adventure! You did a fantastic job on the build.
Pattie Bowen thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!
One of the better skoolies I have seen. I have the same year and make bus I am just starting on. Excellent!!
Thank you, hope your build goes well.
Well thought out. Sooooo beautiful !!!
I really love this. This is the BEST bus conversion I have seen!!! Such a cute couple.
I hope you have amazing adventures. 😊
sweettrage wow! THANK YOU!!
That home is so well though out, love everything, everything!!!!
C. Lance thank you so much, we really appreciate it
It's beautiful! I love what you've done and the pellet stove seems amazing! I will have to research those more! I love working with my wood burning stove, but I do not like waking up to a cold home when my fire has gone out, or when there is not wind outside to make a draft and the fire won't catch or burn hot enough! So I can see the benefit of a pellet stove for sure! Great job!
Bentley Wisdom thank you very much! Yes the pellet stove is great for keeping us cozy while sleeping. We fill it up in right before bed and your good until late morning! We love it so far!
That’s wonderful. I assume you have smoke and carbon monoxide detectors too, just to be safe, and if you rent it on AirBnB they will most likely require those safety features.
Catherine Moore yes we have both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in our bus! Thanks for commenting!
Your name is Pam Beesley right?
Yilmaz Arda lol I’m married so it’s Pam Halpert now.
There isn't no way I could watch the for 40 minutes
America by pop up William Blair that’s okay, we realize its long, but wanted to add information to help other people building a skoolie! Thanks for the feedback!
America by pop up William Blair , playback speed up to 1.5 works
That’s a double negative
America by pop up William Blair I watched it in stages
Agree. I have to speed it up. Too much talking.
Such a wonderful video... my plans for the near future (2 years) include a renovated school bus.... you've given me some ideas for incorporation into my plan... Thank you! Wishing you a wonderful adventure!
Longest video ever
Speed up the run speed. Makes people talk faster and you think faster. Win-win!
This was the most interesting and the most funniest tour I've ever seen. You two are the best.
Thank you!
Really like the bunk beds.. where did you get that from
tim_1968 we built the bunk beds! Thanks!
