We have just finished building our tiny house school bus conversion and begun living full time on the road in our small home, and we're totally off grid.
So take a look at the tiny house bus conversion tour (also known as a skoolie!) get some small house design ideas, and tell us what you think.
Over the course of 2 years we took an old school bus and did a custom bus conversion (known as a skoolie), building it to meet the needs of our family.
We are the Dove Londons: a full time travel, special needs, family parenting two amazing kids with cerebral palsy (cp). We have recently begun living full time on the road in our tiny house bus conversion (skoolie)

Where did you get the door for the shower? What’s it called? 😊 great job!!
No
I didn't know that the boys were twins I thought Zach was a lot younger
@@MermaidLove13 hii
NO
I need to stop watching these before I buy a bus
Haha! It's a risk!!
lmao mood, if i can’t afford a house bus it is 🚌
Fr💀😭😂
Maddy Kitty same I always watch these
Maddy Kitty me too
That's a wonderful home but I can't help but wonder what will happen once the kids are too old to fit in these beds
yes! could be tricky- but nothing some creativity can't solve
That's what I thougt too. They did not anticipate it. The living area up to the kitchen is more spaceous so their bedrooms and toliet and bath are just fit for them.... I suggest them to make blueprint of the whole bus area with respective measurement according to its function; living area, kitchen, rooms and toilet and bath...
HAHAHA RIGHT THATS WHAT IM THINKING TOO
Get a second bus.
@@Church2Mosque 💡
their kids at school:
"where is your adress?"
"everywhere"
🤣🤣🤣 sering berpindah pindah jadi gatau alamat pastinya dimana😆
@Scrappy Coco probably homeschooled
Ajriah Muazimah they are homeschooled
It's hard to believe that people actually live a life like this which we can only dream about. What a life!
Eh, there are too many variables that make this lifestyle unsustainable in the long run.
Being a mobile home, it'll have it's fair share of maintenance and breakdowns, the children will grow up without any real privacy, they can't really have many friends over for sleepovers or other kid things, plus when mom and dad need to retire and settle down, a bus isn't wheel chair or handicap friendly for living in.
It's cute for singles, or for glamping, but there's nothing envious about 4 people in such a small space.
Just imagine the first time you have to go to the bathroom for a taco Bell blow out! Lol
Mitra is a Indian title. Are u Indian?
This is the best bus conversion I've seen so far. Everything is organised and put in proper places.
Thanks Ruderick
This is the most spacious one I've seen
Maybe because a mother was making it
There are so many bus conversions out there. I have viewed a lot of them. I think yours is the best. There are some that are designed beautifully, but they seem cluttered or they seem to leave out an important element like a shower. Yours is roomy and airy and I love your organization. I love your bedroom. I would live in your cozy office space. Best wishes on your adventures.
Thanks Liberty Lost! and so glad you also love the little office space, nooks are the best.
So beautiful
Its a really beautiful 🏡
Its a beautiful 🏡
I thought this too, they really organized their home really well
This is so beautiful! I love all of the windows and the open space! I would love to live in it!
At last, a bus I could actually live in AND there's a place for books!
Yes- always need nooks for books
@@OrdinaryExtraordinary yes true :O
Yes but wait for the little children to grow and hit puberty.. it’s gonna be quite interesting.. their gonna need privacy to do some stuff if your picking yo what I’m saying. Their gonna have to re design the bus to make some room for the kids to have their own privacy. Or they could do it in the bathroom if you understand what I’m saying
Yes, very important for me. Bathroom and books lol
I'm the ex wife of an over the road truck driver and I can honestly say, living on the road is "one" of the best experiences I've ever had. Found a place to eat in Wikkiup, Arizona. The couple was from NJ and living their dream on an Indian reservation. Having had a glimpse of that life, I can easily see how living off the grid, is a much less stressful and peaceful way of life.
His eyes started tearing up in the end. He is just so full of love and positivity!
I appreciate people like him.
Best part - SO MANY WINDOWS 🙂😁
Sourabh yes the view is amazing
Ye no isοlation so great
But those windows appears to be unsafe !!!
Lucky children.....👌 May God Bless You All & Let you all enjoy this happiness throughout your life, & when children grow older, start their busy school schedule, they will be more active, more concerned about nature......
I love that these parents still went after their dream of living off-grid even though their kids have a disability
When she said” let’s take a look at the rest of the house” I got excited lol I thought after the kitchen she was done 🌝🌝
How did you do that smile emote thing ? I have a Samsung phone btw
@@Nostalgicinquisitor I use Samsung too and I can still use that emoji 🌝
@@I_Quit_leaving howww😂
@@Nostalgicinquisitor just go in the emoji section thing and go to the house thingy icon and then just scroll left and you'll eventually see the emoji 🌝
@@I_Quit_leaving 🌝🌝🌝I Found it xD thanks ! Lol
Instant love with the laughing happy children. 👍🏻❤️
Hello Sheree how are you doing!!
Best bus conversion i have ever seen. Most of bus houses are not spacey. Very intelligent and cost effective. Most satisfying bus conversions.
The shower design is ingenious! I'd love more details on it!!
Thanks Layla! Maybe I can convince Tim to do a more detailed tour ;)
@@OrdinaryExtraordinary I love everything about your build, and I also agree that it would be awesome if your guys agree to make a more detail on how the bathroom it was build, the materials, etc. Love from NY :)
Your bus is so beautiful and well thought out. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks mikaela!! 💕
Hi
I really want to say that from all the bus transformations, this is my favourite.
The light-colored wood combined with those lovely windows and shades is very relaxing, I actually really like the minimalist look that's been achieved, usually not a fan. That bus itself is so neat, and the conversion is top quality. Well done!
I've seen many places and many houses but our home is my favorite 😊🥰. The most peaceful place on earth for me .
Out of 10s of videos related to bus conversion into rooms, yours was the perfect one for a family. Every needful thing was present, bravo.
You had me hooked with the lovely innocence of the kids laughter at the beginning. I miss my kids being that age
You folks have the best looking bus conversion I’ve seen on TH-cam. There are a lot of other people’s buses, but yours is so well done and organized. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Phyllis :) sometimes doesn't look as organised in day to day life hehe
Hello Phyllis your smile is priceless😊
So proud of you guys, there isn't much that the four of you can't conquer! Sending all our love x
Thanks friend!! :)
By Far the Most Spacious Conversion I have Ever Seen
Out of the 25 bus conversion videos I have watched today, you guys have created the most open floor plan I have seen yet. Great job!
So NEAT. It looks so spacious. That is also such a big bus, much bigger than my previous apartment here in Santa Monica.
You are a beautiful family! God bless you!
Thanks Tamara :) God bless you too

I saw many RV videos..... But I think this is the best
Thanks Trupti!
Wonderful design, and I love all the big windows with their cute curtains! Making memories with your family, is heavenly! 💖
Hello Christy how are you doing!!
That bus paint color is the prettiest that I have ever seen. Cudos on a great restoration job. !
Hello Dawn your smile is priceless😊
A wonderful job, a very bright space, a confortable living. It's all fantastic and you are a very lovely family. Cheers from Italy.
Thanks Adriano from Italy!
Very nice video. Watching from minnesota. USA
Thanks Allen in minnesota!
The true meaning of living freedom can't beat that
Being an engineer......Hats off to you guys.....I mean I have no words to express my feelings......I hope I can make one such beauty for my family in the future too.😇
Just wow!!😍😍
atleast their kids can enjoy the nature's beauty perfectly!😇👌👌👍👍
I love how they incorporated book storage.
This is the best motorhouse i've seen..it's very spacious,open and clean and it's really simple..i've seen sooo much videos about houses like this and this is the most airy and pretty one,really feels like home😇😘
BEST bus home conversion ever !! Great use of Space for your family and that is very important giving the TWin boys who will keep needing all the space to play as they can grow whether inside or out. Well done guys !!!
--- Cheers !!!
Thanks for lovely
Message! Hehe
Such a beautiful family and a wonderful bus. Feeling inspired. You live life so fully and that is heartwarming to see. Blessings on your travels.
Thank you maya and blessings to you!
By far is the most simple bus house, love it
Dad: ain't you boys supposed to be sleeping...
Me sees outside the window, the sun is literally out n probably mid day
😅😅💕💕......I love all this
This is the first bus house that i have seen with curtains you guys are so smart
This is really...dream life which is not possible for everyone ...you did great job
What you both have done is amazing! I have been obsessed with bus conversions for the past few years trying to get ideas for when I can finally convince hubby to live the bus life. Yours is honestly the best bus I have come across. It has been truly designed amazingly to suit your family. Awesome job and enjoy your journey! Kinda jealous right now lol
They Free Spirit- good luck with the convincing ;) so far the life has been pretty good (but with some adjusting too hehe). The conversion part was honestly massive and I do think finding one made is a good option for many too. But I guess the reason we did build one is we didn't find any with enough open space :)
Finest and most functional Mobile home I've ever seen!
Beautiful build! The openness of the living area makes such an amazing difference compared to so many bus builds.
Thanks Scott! yes we love open living :)
Love your bus, love your attitude & love your adorable, giggling twins!
Thanks Kerry :) hehe yes very giggly boys!
Hello Karry how are you doing!+
Wonderful balance between the contemporary minimalist/designer look and cozy, cabin-like simplicity.. Yet the best part is the twins :)
we agree! :):)
This is the best bus conversation I've seen so far
Well designed space, sensible and functional. Love the large windows which are classic and stylish. I don't think I could improve on anything you have done. Well done!!
You seem a lovely family, and the kids are having the time of their lives instead of being stuck in daycare with working parents gone all day. This is enriching for them. I would focus on teaching them languages at this age, they absorb it like sponges.
With regard to your bookshelves, I saw a guy use paracord - 2 cords across each shelf to keep stuff in. Only takes two holes either side. You want to make the cord overlap the outside edges of shelf to get maximum clearance inside. See Lee Blake's video on his Sprinter van build. He has a genius for organizing down to the smallest detail. I found it instructive and full of ideas.
Hey Lass-in Angeles. Thanks for lovely message and encouragement in what sometimes feels like a crazy decision. And will look up, sounds like good idea thanks!
The floor space SAVES this bus
I love how it has many windows which makes it look alott more beautiful... MUCH LOVE
thank you for sharing your wonderful sunshine and the inner beauty that you spread around you!!!
The large windows really make it. That’s a truly wonderful build. Well done.
Jason Hyatt I totally agree...the windows are huge and in just the right place
am I the only one who was thinking where is the fridge
5:00 there the silver one.
Cool ja tällleee no lots of people probably thought that , you are not unique, .. it there is one
Im not seeing the frig either? 5pm?, still not seeing a frig?
@@zelmadianncrafton6692 right to the left of sink, small silver. I would need more.
Sivi Seppä no your not
What a great experience for your twins. I hope you are able to stay on the road for a long time for them. Boys love being active and sitting in school all day is just now the best thing AND they have each other to play with. Thanks for sharing, this bus is one of the best conversions I have seen.
What beautiful boys you have and the memories you are making with them!
Oh my gosh such a spectacular view from all the views. I like your minimalistic design. Your space looks so comfortable. Generally I tend to feel claustrophobic in those kind of converted buses.
Love what you've done with the woolen blankets and your boys are beautiful. Happy travels!
Thanks! :)
Vvvvgu yyuppp
Hi uu
I don't know why, but I am *ADDICTED* to seeing tiny houses! It's has very minimal space, it feels like a dollhouse and because I am very fragile, it will be easier to movie around in a tiny house. As a minimalist and quite feminine person, living in a tiny house is a dream! I wish I can live in a tiny house, or even stay in one for at least a week! But, I don't think it's possible when I live in SouthEast Asia. :( So, thank you for this tour! (: It really just fulfill a part of my dream.
Love the bus, and she got straight to the point
The best feature of the house is the views
😍 this is the best home bus I've ever seen , great view 😊
You did an amazing job on building out your bus!!! I love it!! It’s so open and cheery and wow!! GOOD JOB!!! I wish you God’s best on your travels and raising those two adorable little men!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Omgosh this is so sweet!!!!!!! The experiences
those babies are getting are out of this world!!!!
Beautiful and very smart storage. Take a picture of the controls and you'll know where they belong the next time the children sit in the driver seat ✅ Great views with your great windows. ❤️ Adorable twin boys. 💛🙋🏼
Thanks Tamara and good idea!! And thanks we also think they are pretty adorable ;)
How could I NOT subscribe! You're the most creative and lovely people and this video made my day! I can't wait to see you all on the move in your incredibly clever, colourful, lovely bus. I usually don't subscribe to very much but this was so unpretentious and joyful. Good for you guys!
Thanks Deby, so glad to have you join the ride with us :):):) glad you liked the video
@@OrdinaryExtraordinary almost the best designed.
I will be needing air-conditioning with solar system which can be easily installed on top roof.
Love your bus-home with all those big windows; open, bright, truly a reflection of your family!
For a full family everything is so neat and clean.
Es muy hermoso, en verdad les quedó bellísimo! OMG quiero vivir en un autobús como ese, es perfecto.
Saludos son una hermosa familia
This is the mosttttttt comfortable bus tour omg,you reallt deserve more subscribers😷💛💛
I love brightness that's why i love those big windows
Me ha encantado cómo han distribuido el espacio. Es acogedora y muy funcional. Tienen luz y también privacidad. Los niños se les ve muy felices. Felicidades.
Beautiful, everything is so neat and organized,
Your sweet little boys are adorbs.
Thanks Michele :)
Beautiful bus build! What a wonderful home to travel with your beautiful children! Thanks for sharing!
Q belleza es espectacular x dentro.y x fuera. Toda esa chapa y pintura q le hicieron x fuera quedo hermoso y x dentro una casa hermosa. Felicitaciones y Saludos desde Argentina.
Lovely bus home, and look at the children so happy. 🥰😍
I like the open space. It doesnt feel cramped. Good job. :)
I love this, the layout makes me feel so spacious, simple, clean, it'll become a meaningful and fun childhood for the boys when they grow up.
What a fantastic layout. It is so neat with plenty of space. Your bots are adorable.💕
This is probably the maddest bus tour I’ve ever seen || - well done keep doing what your doing ❤️
One of the best bus conversions I have seen. You all did an amazing job!
Thanks Leah
@@OrdinaryExtraordinary um...I'm leah...she is twin
My 7 year old boy has cerebral palsy as well and he is just as adorable as yours 💙💙💙God bless u. So it's amazing to see all the things u have done with your baby boy. 💙💙💙
Maria ct Hey Maria, great to hear from you- all the love to your special boy!! And God bless to you :) (ps we wish we could share our bus with all other special needs families like yours - if only it was easier to drive ;) ) x
Awesome bus and so clean and neat. So much room and with your boys. Thanks for sharing and enjoy the adventure
L rather this tiny bus house than the others it has a lot of space and its beautiful🌸💖💯l want one when am 18
Am just 13 lots more ages to go
I had no idea at the beginning where the beds were!!!
this is the comfy tiny house i've ever seen
This is the best design that I have seen this far especially for a family of four. So spacious well done!
Hello Sherry how are you doing!!
What an amazing family! You have such a beautiful tiny home on wheels. I came across your channel as we are researching alternative dwellings for our precious small family (on The South Coast, NSW). We also have 2 boys (one is also called Zac (he is Zacharie) and we have a Sam (Samuel). I was thinking I know Jess from somewhere! I remembered that you were in a year or so below me at Northern Beaches Christian School, in Sydney, NSW. Much love and God Bless Bel xx
your are a beatiful couples & u having very cute kids the whole family is good & bus is in single word WOOOOOW.
Very cool! Love that they kept all of the windows. Add furniture slides to the bottom of the baskets under the bed and they will slide out much easier. They just stick on and stay on. I got mine at the Dollar Plus Store, don't know if you have them their but check eBay or Amazon. Super cheap super helpful.
Just a thought.
One of the best use of space I've seen till now.
Good to see some good old Kiwi ingenuity! We're doing up a motorhome from a bus here in Australia.
Great job guys. Love your bus.God bless your family
With this tiny bus house ur life became one of the sweetest journey which everyone love to live❤❤
That laugh at the beginning touched my soul.
Soooooo cute
Its amazing how u guys hv converted the bus space so wisely efficiently.It is perfect ,well organized space.Happy travelling.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
