A beautiful tiny house for only $30,000? It might sound like something of fantasy, but it's exactly what we've built!
Bre and I (Dev) have been living in this school bus converted tiny house for over 4 years. While it hasn't always been peachy, its a decision we would do 1,000 times over! After spending 2 years and $30,000, we've created one of the most functional, and dare I say beautiful, tiny homes on the road today.
Our price to build reflects prices pre-virus, so things have drastically changed since!
Our Basically Nomads Floor Plan has been completely revamped! Check it out at:

Gets a Ultrawide monitor and expensive mini-ITX gaming PC, but doesn't pay for Windows - my type of dude.
The gentleman has a great sense of humor! I love this build! I am a 67 year old veteran who would trade my house for this bus in a heartbeat! Except my wife would leave me, she hates the idea. Good luck with your dream!
Yeah right lol. Why in the hell would you trade an appreciative asset for a depreciative asset? But then again, I don't know what you're going through so I can't judge.
@@derekhayter4879 Just an improbable fantasy idea.
I ready enjoyed you guys!!! Awesome job!! Please keep on enjoying life!! Blessings!!🙏🏽🙏🏽
"More shoe storage than a homeless shelter" might have been the weirdest way to start a video off.
😝 I loved it!!!!! HIS ( and hers) personalities are AMAZING❤❤❤❤❤
i was thinking that too. it made me want to stop watching.
It's just a joke, enjoy it as such. Made me want to keep watching as an unfiltered sense of humour is hard to find nowadays.
Okay so I'm not crazy! Nice bus though.
yeah what a douche.
OMG! I love the tour and the wood working, but most of all, I love the two of you! You don't take life too seriously which makes you fun! 🙂 Ya'll are awesome!
Oh my goodness.. thank you so much! ❤️ literally made our day.
I love ❤️ the feminine and masculine energy that came out in each by handing over the camera so each can explain their area. Good job and beautiful 😍 conversion.
He couldn't shut up!
One of the best tiny home designs. Attention to detail and every available space has been used smartly😊
I never comment on videos like this, but this is the most awesome Tiny House over ever seen. This is the first one that I can see myself living in. What a cozy atmosphere. Thanks for sharing.
Holy Crap!! Have you seen this bus tour?? This is the coolest millennial built bus that exists! This dude possesses some of the sickest wood working skills ever. Forget about how incredible the floor plan is, the real question is how do you get this dude to build it so it looks as crazy good as this one?? All for 30K as well, how's that possible??
That's to say nothing about how lucky he is to have this amazing woman as his wife. It's like she has the skill set to see right through him and found something that makes it all worth it. The video we really need is how that happened!!
No question, this is one bad ass bus build that looks like it's been able to survive everything that's been thrown at it the last four years. All that really needs to be said is...well done!!
Subbing for the one-liners and creative bus layout. You two are precious together!
This was the best skoolie tour video ever. The presentation was perfect. Like you guys really showed off the bus the correct way allowing us to get a good visial of how it flows. People fial to do that. Both of you guys were very engaging and didn't spew filler words on things we didn't need to know. Direct concise and wonderfully presented. Thank you.
I love how cool he wants to be with his sunglasses on while he does this video😂😂 kind of what I do when I make my videos. I knew it was a cool thing.😂😂😂
😂 I totally forgot I had them on pahaha. I finally took em off near the very end, but yeah. It’s a very Casey Neistat thing to do 😂
This one of the best builds I’ve seen, I love the woodworking around your house also the bathroom has not been compromised. I know you said no kids but at least if it does happen you don’t have to move on. 🇦🇺
LITERALLLLLYYYYY!!!!❤❤❤❤
You have a beautiful home! The layout is so well-designed... You have everything you need and more. Keep smiling, cheers to all of your travels ahead!! Much love 💕😊
The best bus conversion of all the conversions on TH-cam! My favourite❤
Thank you so much ❤️❤️ means more than you know.
@@BasicallyNomads you're welcome! You are my favourite couple😉
More shoe storage than a homeless shelter? What a strange thing to say.
Can't disagree 😅
Impressive transformation! Turning a bus into a luxurious beach house for just $35,000 is truly inspiring🔥🔥🔥
Had to sub on the strength of their personalities alone. Most I've ever laughed during a van/bus/boxtruck layout video. Incredibly sick design too. Love the electrical setup. I may use it myself some day.
I've been following skoolies, camper vans, travel trailers etc for the last few years, this one is top 10!
-the roof omg
-the dual temp mini-split AND wood stove
-deep storage everywhere
-spacious kitchen
-the bathroom is underrated, especially with that bench. when she said "Idk what this shower bench is for" I immediately thought to myself "I know exactly what its for" As a 31 y/o with back problems it's comfortable to sit and bathe.
BRAVO you Two!
Nice energy, love the glasses, good tempo, good music choices too and nice editing. Bree is awesome as usual. You two are rockstars! Bus is looking great. - Mel. Yes, that Mel.
MEL!! Great to hear from you :) Thanks for the kind comment! Hope all is well in CO. Still have room for a bus? 🤣
Oh my goodness... that's the CUTEST mini stove I've ever seen!
Beautiful woodwork. Great space. Thanks for sharing
Hi Bree, glad you're having a wonderful time! Miss you!
Got a 40 foot bus, parking it on land I bought in Costa Rica. It's already been "built" as a live aboard, but I have lived the van/rv life some some years in the past so I already have many visions for improvements, of course. Nice work y'all.
The moment you welcome us in. I start laughing at the fun things the husband says. 🤣😘 this bus home is beautiful. And I just subscribed. Love from your newest Philly fan!🤗💖🎉🤩
Awhh gosh! Thank you so much. Seriously glad you enjoyed it ❤️
@@BasicallyNomads you are welcome. The minute you make me laugh. You won me.😉🤗💖
Honestly, you guys did an awesome job! I truly love it! Kudos!
Best bus home ever and can fit 7 people! Im in love with ya'll beautiful home. I have dreamed of traveling my whole life and i hope one day to get a drive able rv as well.
❤ you two! You’re pleasant, jokesters, and built an amazing bus!! Can’t wait to follow you around ! from a gramma in 🇨🇦 (and yes I have kids)
Ok I'm finally convinced I could live in an traveling RV!! UR home is beautiful and practical. I just would have to learn about the solar tiles and heating systems. Great job u guys😍
the 1 thing is change is putting the toilet in the bench “you don’t know what it’s for” and coulda put the sink where the toilet is
Wow, your design of the beach house is so stylish and comfy. Excellent design indeed👍👍🎉🎉
Stunning! and those doors.. sooo beautiful 😘
You guys are like the two coolest people ever. I love your bus and I love both of you.
Love all the kitchen space. Great build.
Love this Bus! Cool and Humble Tour!
That bus is amazing!
Super amazing plan! Nice work on this build. Safe travels!
Beautiful bus, beautiful people ❤❤
Nice bus! Quick tip, if you get a rag wet and dip it in some ash it will scrub the black stuff off the inside of the mini stove glass window like magic! Learned that one from online somewhere and use it on my big house stove.
Brilliant rig, I absolutely love it! The kitchen is super lovely! The gaming area especially as my hubby and I are full-time content creators and a setup like that would be perfect. The entire design is amazing and you guys are an awesome couple. And yes can I come travelling with you guys? (:
Easily one of the best conversions I've seen, minus the cat stuff that would have to go. Other than that I love how storage space is utilized.
One of the best bus builds I’ve seen!!
Truly one of the best buses I’ve seen. Had to save this one as inspiration for my future tiny home. Love you guys!
Beautiful home thanks for sharing god bless stay safe 🙏 ❤️
I dream of doing this sometime in the future you guys look so happy with the way you are living and I admire that!
Really appreciate it! You can definitely make this happen
Mmmeeeeee tooooooo!!!!! Im yearning for THISSSSSSS!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
@@BasicallyNomadsy’all r truly such a vibe!!!! When u we’re doing all the talking in the intro I was like “ dang I can’t WAITTTTT to meet wifeyyyy”
And she’s freaking Awesomeeee!!!!!! ( and gawgess) 👑 👑
Y’all r such a fun true genuine VIBE! 😊😊😊😊😊
Ohh wow
What an amazing beautiful home
Loving how you have set it all out and especially the doors
Thank you for sharing with us
Excellent design. Congratulations!
I love your plan for the tiny home! It’s beautiful!
You two are so fun! Your home is perfect!! Incredibly well planned and beautiful.
Very nice bus. This is the best bus design that I've ever seen. I would love to build this.
I love the roof raise over the shower - I’m going to do the same thing! Great build!!!
Love your sense of humor and love the way you built this bus along of room
Awesome rig! Nicely done!
Very nice and no space left empty. I can see why you two love it.
never know how I find TH-cam channels but I found yours and I subscribed and hit the bell notification. You two have a great sense of humor. I will now watch how you were so mean and left wifey in some cold place by herself
What an amazing rig. Beautiful job!
Fantastic looking home. I'm amazed you did the conversion for only $35,000 .Well done, you must be proud of your handiwork .
I love sitting on the front wheel of a rear engine school bus
Awesome content!! Entertaining and genuinely best buss conversion I’ve ever seen!! Keep it up
Wow. Really appreciate that comment ❤️ thank you!
This is most well thought, best home bus design i have seen, well done
Es lo más espectacular que he visto. Tiene todo. Felicidades
Very nicely done guys. Some bus conversions are seriously hodgepodge Your's is lovely.
Hello. I think you guys did fantastic job on your Bus Home. Very good ❤ Happy traveling.
Beautiful build!!❤❤❤
You two are funny, so good looking, you can be taken for soap opera stars! The bus is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for the tour!
by far one the best builds ive seen... and if i ever do a bus build... def will buy yall's floor plan. really liked the setup
Best way to fix that white clip on the fridge is just get a black sharpy and color it black, or if you want to get really fancy get some black nail polish and just paint over it.. boom, problem solved.. anyway, that's def a cool schoolie! I can see how that could be used to have many fun adventures! I agree though, I'd have to have my PC with me on the road..
well done kids thks for sharing..be well and stay safe..cheers
Just wow of course ❤
Absolutely amazing build!
Glad you like it!
Love you guys , fab home on wheels , looks like a perfect set up , used & abused just like a proper home , not one of those magazine shoots that looks pristine & sanitised , you have what i'd have , so practical . Love that you guys mess about & joke too , lifes too short to be serious haha. A big hello & best wishes from dreary great britain x
Thank you! It’s definitely lived in. Built it over 4 years ago now and it’s seen good and bad days lok
WOW a beautiful functional creation. Congrats. Lovely home. Brilliant innovations too. Well done.

I hope you guys made it through the hurricane/tropical storm, Hilary!! Can't imagine that would be fun on a bus.
Thank you guys so much for this. I’ve just lost my home to the bank & started watching this in tears which soon turned to giggles & then totally cracking up … “& everyone to see my hoohaa!” 😂🤣
Much needed inspiration, thank you to the moon & back 😊
Oh my gosh. I’m sorry to hear that! But I’m beyond happy that we could give you a little reprieve. Everything is gonna be just fine! You’ve got this! ❤️
Absolutely have this. Lost my home also. That was in 2017. Everything has worked out very nicely! Humanity needs one another, it’s who we are! Blessings to you always 🥰🌺
I too send blessings and love & it will all work out pray and you can and you will ❤
That is an AMAZING and EPIC. Very impressive.
This bus is bada$$....love it!!
You both definitely did a great job with the conversion but the comedy that you also put into that made it even better to watch
