    VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
    Luke a.k.a The Digital Nomad Guy; travels the land in his 2003 Ford E4 350 school bus that has a 7.3L diesel engine, or the "million mile engine". As a solo male traveler and digital nomad his bus provides exactly what he needs: lots of power and plenty of space for food in his kitchen. Luke doesn't require things like others might i.e.hot water, but space for charging stations and guitar(s) is a must! The outside of his bus is a work of art and is a must see! Thanks for the tour Luke, you are a true modern renaissance man!

    The Ford chassis shuttle bus is a killer setup if you get the 7.3 diesel....please avoid the 6.0 diesel!

    • @NoProGoPronto
      @NoProGoPronto 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hi Chris, I wouldn't want diesel only because it's so noisy, but is that 7.3 engine that you are always talking about available in a 4-5 window gas engine bus? Thanks

    • @dakotazx3
      @dakotazx3 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Not entirely true. Don't believe everything you read on the internet. 6.0's aren't bad if you maintain them properly.

    • @TinyHomeTours
      @TinyHomeTours  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      NoProGoPronto no, we run the Chevy gas 350 engine in those

      Scott S from what I understand, “bulletproofing” them costs around 6k. I would rather buy an entire rig for that.

    • @nauticaraven8337
      @nauticaraven8337 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      what if the 6.0 has very low miles?

  • @corinnelsmith
    @corinnelsmith 3 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    Nothing against the sorts of people who do this, but it is so nice to see a bus that’s not this unrealistic view of van life with white subway tiles, a damn hanging fruit basket, and succulents in macrame holders everywhere with a berkey water filter, farmhouse sink and matte black or brass fixtures. While Its pretty, it’s just the same thing over and over and tbh very expensive to do that. His bus is fucking awesome and I appreciate the hell out of it.

  • @tonicox5705
    @tonicox5705 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The tapestry over his bed is Alex Grey, not Alex Jones. I think maybe he was getting the guitarist, Adam Jones, from Tool, and the artist, Alex Grey, that Tool gets their artwork from, mixed up.

  • @douglasharley2440
    @douglasharley2440 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    pretty dope build, and a cool dude!...i'd change-up to a composting toilet, and i'm not a fan of black paint since it increases the heat load significantly in summer. lol, this dude's got an ac unit though, so i guess he's COOL with it. xD

    I was thinking about doing the top shelf as well instead of building my bed up higher for that storage space! I haven't seen anyone else do it before, looks like it's as functional as I thought. Perfect to fit all of my clothes and the underneath for the rest of my goods. Thanks for the visualization :)

      You might regret making it taller as you get older and it gets warmer out. Plus, it would make the emergency exit harder to get to, yes? However. They DO make a mechanical lift now that u hear is pretty decent.

    I love the paint job. I have a 94 holiday rambler endeavor that just started bubbling under the paint. Somehow water is gett under it. It's not fully delaminating yet but I need to figure out how to fix it and guessing will need a new paint job after the repair. Would be cool to get some trees painted on the side of the RV with a lake and Mountain or something. Then if someone really good have them air brush me smoking out of a bong at a campsite lol 😜

    Man, you are my hero . I just bought a 2002 Ford E-450 7.3 Diesel Shuttle Bus w 70k miles. I never driven a bus before so it's like driving a Uhaul. I feel good it only got 70k miles on it and the engine seems in good shape just kind of noisy. The bus had a wheelchair lift that has been taken off and I notice that water comes in through the door when it rains , the same w the front door and the back window. Any ideas on how to address these issues? Thank you.

    I love your bus set up. So im curious, something ive been doing on the side to help people is Paranormal research and Investigating. We used smudging or smudge sticks to help clear or cleanse a home or area. When you mentioned your smudge stick and showed it, is that what you use yours for or am I way off base?
    Anyway Your bus is fabulous looking and very comfy.
    Thank you for sharing.
    Be safe and stay well.

    Very cool artwork, Luke! But black roof and sides make for a very hot interior. White is more reflective.
    You seem to like black color a lot - black shirt, black bus, black cabinets, black storage bags, black sofa, black table, black bed sheets, black pillows, black bandana, black quilt....!
    Now if you dyed your beard black, we could call you Black Beard.
    And with all that black, you wanted a 'casket bed'? Sounds more like a funeral parlor than a van build, dude.
    8:49 - Handcuffs on the wall? Are you a Bounty Hunter in between web design?
    Bus is very cool, but do consider some lighter colors. Your van looks dark and grim, like a prison snatching light away.
    And please trim that beard. Its just too long. Why hide your face, its a nice one!
