    Not only is it one of the best designs I've seen I cant tell you how refreshing your simple delivery of it was phenomenal!

    This young man needs to be designing for RV manufacturers. I am not sure if he has an Industrial Design degree but his design aesthetic is much more sophisticated than what is available with (most) current RV design.

      Jennifer Schaefer Someone doesn't need to have an industrial design degree to understand good layout and functionality. Whatever the case, he did a good job.

      Most RV Mfg companies don't want good design or good sense, they want cheap-junk, complicated and stuff that breaks down before you get it home. That's why so many people are repurposing schoolies & building vardos -- they're far less expensive, designed better, don't fall apart, and they can repair the rig themselves. This fellow did a nice job, and thought things out.

      Most of the RV designs that I've saw is horrible! I always feel like I'm in Home Depot with all the gaudy tiling designs/backsplashes and wooden cupboards everywhere. Maybe that is why some of these companies that cater to designing these school buses for others are the go to now. As there is so many ways/directions you could go to produce a strong, efficient and comfortable space that you will enjoy.

  • @CiecieNewson
    @CiecieNewson 7 ปีที่แล้ว +49

    This is one of the best conversions I've seen. I could see myself in a bus made like this. I almost like it better than a tiny house. I didn't see a shower situation so I assume you do that at a gym or YMCA etc. This bus is comfy and roomy and aesthetically pleasing. ~Smile!

    • @butterification

      you're right, I didn't see a shower either. But now that I'm thinking, he sounded like he was all about saving/using minimal of water

  • @holly3830
    @holly3830 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @lokisfriend
    @lokisfriend 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great job, everything you need and it looks comfortable and homey. That's so important, I see so many conversions that have no warmth and look junky, you definitely did a wonderful job.

    This is the BEST conversion I have seen yet. And I have seen so many! The shot gun seat and fold out guest bed are genius! Great job. My husband and I will be converting a full length in a month or so for our family of 8. I am overwhelmed with excitement for the freedom to roam and roadschool our kids... The adventure is going to be a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks for sharing with us skoolie lovers!

    @AnnaLVajda 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice craftsmanship I like that duel tone woodworking at the front ceiling area too. Could use a womans touch I would like to put some throw cushions and things around but really good storage ideas and that fold up shotgun seat is smart too.

    @jfjdjdji723 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That shotgun seat is really smart, I hadn't seen that yet. I also love the shelves in the kitchen. We plan to do something like that in our Airstream. Maybe we'll see ya on the road!

    @Darin-USMCB-- 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Excellent!
    Seems very well designed/usage of space.
    & actually small but much larger of course than many of the tiny house builds I’ve seen on tv.

    • @pahzplace7853
      @pahzplace7853 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      because I don't think that everyone is really thinking about impressing others with what they've created/done for themselves. To reap from whatever seeds you've sown is a pleasure when you're doing it for you vs doing it for attention/recognition, whatever else............

  • @davidmorris8319
    @davidmorris8319 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I really like this one! I especially like the table and seats since most busses don't have any hard seats, just a couch and beds. Only big minus for me is the lack of a shower

  • @alexandriadavis15
    @alexandriadavis15 7 ปีที่แล้ว +12
