What a gorgeous place to call home. The detail, function and vibe is next level. And what a magical place for Shanti. I’m just so impressed with every sq in. Can’t wait to catch you guys in the next video and follow your journey. You always have a place to stay in Lake Tahoe. Safe travels. 😍
“Dis is my wall, dis is my stuff, oh and dis is my writing on my wall” 😘 Shanti is absolutely adorable! I love the room y’all made for her and I love the rest of the bus too! Y’all did an amazing job!! Cheers
Wow beautiful bus guys. Love all the cedar and the slab wall. The shower is fantastic!! Great idea to have it at the door. Shanti is adorable! I didn't catch your puppers name but he/she is adorable too. Beautiful family! Safe travels folks! Thanks for sharing your home. 😎✌️🐾
Would be nice to put a positive quote, funny words or a happy face on the stop sign that makes passing cars or people smile. The white walls around the bathroom door could be filled with a forest theme (trees and leafs) and complementing all the life edge boards and the green of the bedroom. As it is opposite of Shanti's bed maybe you could add some butterflies and other animals 😊. Your while bus and design is so beautiful. Congratulations
Love those ideas!!! We really appreciate the feed back. I really think the happy face is simple and cute! The forest idea is amazing also! Thank you for tuning in!
So great guys! I love all the cedar. Congratulations again and it’s time for y’all to hit the road again! Looking forward to seeing future videos of y’all’s travels
Wow your home is absolutely gorgeous, love all the live edge. The kitchen is fantastic I love copper too. Perfect shade of blue for the cabinets. So functional your daughter is adorable and her room is a dream. She is very proud of her room. ❤
I don’t even know where to begin! I am so impressed with all of your craftsmanship, design ideas, thoughtful plan, and gained knowledge. It’s clear this SkoolyLife is perfect for all of you. It takes a lot of ingenuity to live outside the box and you two impress the hell out of me. Hugs and Kisses from Momma J💙❤️💕🐾
Lovely presentation. Beautiful work. For the "blank wall", my choice would be a woodsy scene with a trail, perhaps a lake, mountains in the distance..............
Love ALL The Wood Work! Any/All Live-Edged Woods Are Epic In Bus Builds, Wise Choice.....Best Of Luck With Your Beautiful Build....Keep On Trucking With The Little Guy From The 60s, Would Be Great On The Busses STOP Sign! LOL! I Gave Up My Age! LOL! Yea, An Old Schooler! LOL
Your place is so nice and practical!" I say this because it dose look easier to function in. I Love your wood all through your home because I like wood!"Your daughter is beautiful and smart. Good luck on your new additions you add on your bus!"😊
Awesome! If you have any questions feel free to reach out directly to us. Are you building a bus now? Or about to start one?! Theirhappytrails@gmail.com
Hello I just saw the video about your new schoolie/home. I have to admit it seems amazing and as far as design, setup, and even lifestyle a complete dream and amazing. I can't imagine a better setup in all honesty..while personally I'm still on the fence and currently a bit away from the possibility even if I go for it personally..your home/schoolie seems perfectly amazing. Oh I also love gardening also it was a concern of mine with the possibility of bus life.. Though your home/schoolie has given me a lot more hope.. Also as far as the question about the front of the bus I don't know what you guys are intending in that area but as far as design..perhaps something with sea glass blue or green inspiration. I'm not sure actual sea glass would be functional there though the coloring I would imagine would be amazing with copper. I also have to thank you guys for sharing such a detailed video. I personally found it quite helpful. Oh and the woodworking is absolutely wonderful, dreamy, and amazing.. Hopefully the sea glass idea💡was helpful..and thank you again for the detailed video I really appreciated it greatly. Happy trails/ journey and I look forward to more videos, I look forward to more helpful info. Thanks again
Hey Jessica!! This is Matt here! Thank you so much for the ideas and compliments! I really like your sea glass idea. You’re right. Those colors would match perfect! The colored chalk paint gave me a idea in another area also! How cool. Thank you for sharing your ideas 😃😃😃
It was wonderful to meet you all at the Tiny House Festival last weekend! I love what you have done for your home and feel so inspired, especially now that I have a 4 month old! Thank you for making this video for me to look back on and see the craftsmanship. If possible, I would be interested in knowing what the cost-breakdown of this project was for you all if you have a chance. Thank you again for letting us (and everyone else at the fest) into your home and your home into our hearts. 😊
Such a great video! I can see how much work and love you put into it. I love all your plants and garden Erika! (I’m obsessed with plants as well) come visit Santa Barbara soon. We have a place for you to stay. Love and miss you guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a great looking skoolie! Suggestion for the guitar, if It has a button on the bottom to attach a shoulder strap, add a leather strap or some sort of elastic to the wall that can attach button on the bottom and pull it tight against the wall 🙂
Your daughter is adorable and she did a great job showing her room. And her space is very well designed. I really like your build, everything about it including color choices. Suggestion for the white wall: photo collage of your journeys. Photos that are special to Shanti put lower for her enjoyment. Safe journeying! God's blessing and my best wishes. ❤😊🙏🏻🥰
This is stunningly beautiful ❤ I love the live edge wood throughout and copper! The backsplash is awesome I’ve never seen anything like it ! Love the build the family! Y’all rock enjoy living my dream , maybe one day I’ll get out there! ❤
The bathroom wall across from Shanti. DO a sunset/sunrise. As she grows it is somethinf she can look at. The colors of sunset are soothing to. Oranges pinks purples dark blues as you get high you could add glow in the dark stars. It will be adultish to. But she is the one who will be looking at the wall the most at night. Playing before bed etc. It will help psychologically to help sooth a child into a good night sleep or atleast instil some calm before bed. Plus mommy painted it and kids that age love when mommy ,akes so,ethif for them.
Thank you for sharinglove the live edge on kitchen wall. But the part I enjoyed the most was your adorable little girl's explanation of her bedroom area 🥰 God bless her.
Idea for the stop sign.. a pretty floral print or a beautiful scenic view and write stop and smell the roses or stop and take in the view something along those lines would be cute and fun
Really love your home and all the special touches you did to make it yours. I would love a bedroom like your daughter's! She obviously feels very loved. You're a delightful family. Many Happy Trails to you! Susie
Awe thank you for saying that Susie! Shanti loves here bedroom! We definitely made it to where she can grow into it over time. We a appreciate you tuning in!
What an amazing RV build, one of the Best I’ve seen. Love hearing about your life in the road and what your plans are for the future. This is Alan saying, GREETINGS from Riverside In Southern California.
I love your skoolie! I especially love your cedar artwork. If I do go on the road to travel and live, I plan to go the skoolie route because of the size. I just don't think a van or smaller rv would work. I'd want a bathtub, you can buy a portable one in tin or rubber. Also a Berkley and a nice large fridge and freezer. Also a small wood burning stove and also a propane stove. I'd probably want a fireball or two. Cheers and good luck. 😎
Yes Sandy! This is Matt here. Thank you for watching the video! We agree, the cedar is our favorite parts about the bus also A Skoolie is certainly the way togo! I mean, each has its advantage, but the size skoolie we have it really feels like a home inside without much compromise. We went back and fourth about a bath tub. We decided not to because we are mainly off-grid without water hook ups, but other wise we would have! If youre thinking of pulling the trigger and want to start working toward going tiny feel free to reach out! We love helping people to get started in a way of life that has benefitted our family so much! Cheers!
Put a piece of velour material with a couple of those little foam pieces people put on the bottom of stuff so it doesn't scratch the surfaces right behind where the quitar bounces on the wall until you figure a more permanent solution and that will help keep the quitar scratch free too!!
For the "stip" sign, scale your logo and fit it to the stop sign. And I also noticed on your map that you haven't been to Tennessee! If you come to Nashville, please let me know! I want to show my wife a good finished schoolie,and this would be an awesome way to get her to open her mind!
Hey! We sold the bus a while back! But check out our website www.theirhappytrails.com You can show her some really nice photos and a better video also!
Lower rack for guitar, Copper Pipe shaped as a rectangle with the ends meeting in the middle attached to the wall. Think profile of tv set with Anteena ears together , just really short.covered with Pipe Foam, slip the body in and down as you hang.
If your wall is still blank maybe you can paint a jungle theme with lots of Amazon plants and maybe even interesting creatures hidden in the plants 🤷🏾♀️
I think you should paint a aquarium across from your daughter's bed since she likes her dolphin and her mermaid so much. That's the theme right there. Also your trademark should go on the stop sign Erica. You have a lovely home filled with great design ideas. I enjoyed your video so much thank you
It’s so beautiful!!! So the one thing my husband and I are stuck on before taking an official leap into the nomad life is income. We both at the moment have jobs where we live. I don’t want to be stuck on the phone all the time but I could handle the computer work. What type of jobs does everyone have to be able to live on the road. That’s our major snag right now keeping us stuck.
There are so many ways people make money on the road! We actually took the leap before having a solid stream of income, and it all just worked out for us. That is one of the biggest hurdles of getting on the road though. Doing some research will be super beneficial!
Love the layout. I do have a question about the Pioneers. You located the rear unit condenser in the engine bay. Does it have trouble with getting hot as you’re traveling? I assume you leave the units running all the time even when traveling. The next question is where did you mount the front unit condenser? Oh I do have a suggestion about the white wall. I’d paint it a complementary color and then use the wall space as a family gallery. I’m sure you will have to mount the pictures solidly to the wall but I think that’s how I’d use the space.
Hey! Go onto your channel and watch the videos about our AC units! It explains all that. We we would drive we would only use the front ac so the motor heat was never an issue
If you like the ocean and a sunset, Start at the bottom with a blue teal,more teal halfway up a light purple and end with a dark purple, get a big dry brush and feather all the colors together!
Totally agree! I'm actually going to be uploading a video on the pros of having to mini splits rather than just one, and especially the advantages over a roof mount AC! Thank you!! We appreciate you tuning in!
Thank you! We truly loved that rig, it was designed in many late night hours and built with extremely long days. Shanti says “thank you, and my name is also Shantel in Spanish 😂” -Erika
Love the skoolie! I have an idea for the guitar. Buy from your nearest Dollar Tree one of those styrofoam pool noodles. Cut it in half lengthwise, then mount it on the wall behind the guitar.
What at your favorite flowers…when you think of them …look up what they offer as flower essences…bless your babe with a mural of your favorite flowers!
For the blank bathroom wall... I would do a fun mural to integrate into your daughter's room to make it feel like a complete space for her.. maybe a jungle with cute animals or an ocean theme to go with Ariel and her stuffed animals. Or you could do something fun like a geometric shape, sacred geometry is beautiful.. you can even make it fun for your daughter like a sensory wall with maybe wood pieces that move or slide or fun textures to feel/look at.. or rock climbing pieces/monkey bars on ceiling.. IDK soo many fun ways maybe a combo of some of them but I'd totally make it fun for your little one, they're only little for so long gotta make it magical for them!
You should put on that side piece where it's supposed to come out and say stop as a regular school bus I would put there just let it be on both sides,with a sunflower!!!!
Idea requested 💡🤷🏻I don't know if it's something you guys would like 👍. Though how about a colored chalk board paint job that way you can just change the saying/design/picture by mood and preference( perhaps a dark hunter green or turquoise blue, that way it's still bright happy and colorful..but you can also still see most chalk as well..🤷🏻just and idea 💡 and food for thought suggestion.. Anywho thanks again for the great 👍 video shared and happy 😊 trails.
Wonderful!!! I hope you do a Skoolie or some kind of tiny home! It’s really worked out well for us, and I’m sure it would for you if it’s something your interested in!
Many years ago I drove a converted Bus which was (if Memory serves Me) 45 Feet Long (Front Bumper to Rear of the Industrial Gas Bottle carrier) and people would ask Me what it was like to drive, My standard answer was “like a Scud Missile Carrier”. That usually shut them right up.
@@TheirHappyTrails and what an amazing life she has with you guys! We live in an converted shuttle bus. We're fortunate enough to have an acre of land that we live on and always have a place to park. Our build is still in progress. Like yourself we knew nothing about converting a bus, but learned as we went along. I absolutely love our bus. Yours is absolutely gorgeous.
Buy a GUITAR BAG for your GUITAR and then at a HOME DEPOT ,get a couple of wide HEFTY GORILLA TAPE, [DOUBLE SIDED] at a WALMART or AMAZON, get some strips of VELCRO, PLACE YOUR GUITAT IN ITS BAG, MAYBE WRAP THE GUITAR IN SOME FOAM FOR BABYING YOUR 🎸, ANYHOW PLACE THE VELCRO STRIPS TO BOTTOM SIDE OF GUITAR BAG, THEN PLACE THE OPPISITE SYRIPS OF VELCRO TO PART OF THE CEILING ,WHERE IT'LL BE OUT OG THE WAY,MAUBE ABOVE YOUR BED, THEN WITH THE GORILLA TAPE ,TAPE THE VELCRO TO TAPE ON CEILING AND BAG, THEN DOUBLE SECURE IT WITH A BUNGEE CORDS.
I see y’all haven’t been to Delaware:( we have some fun places all around us here I recommend frontier town campground in Berlin MD and checking out oceancity and Assateague island 🐻🦬🏕🪵🐚🏄🏽🛟⛱🎡🏖🎇🎆🌅❤️🌊
The build is absolutely gorgeous I would love to have a school lea it’s just amazing how you can turn it into such a beautiful home! May all your travels be safe and always be blessed I’m jealous of your lifestyle I would love to just downsize and go thanks for letting people look at your Skooly it really is an inspiration!

Hey hey! Thank you for tuning in again! Gypsy is the pups name! We are loving the new home!
I would put a saying on the painted Stop sign so when you’re parked have it sticking out. “ Stopped to Live” or “Enjoying Life “ etc. 😊
Would be nice to put a positive quote, funny words or a happy face on the stop sign that makes passing cars or people smile. The white walls around the bathroom door could be filled with a forest theme (trees and leafs) and complementing all the life edge boards and the green of the bedroom. As it is opposite of Shanti's bed maybe you could add some butterflies and other animals 😊. Your while bus and design is so beautiful. Congratulations

Bungee cord strap to keep your guitar from bouncing around rapping the wall!!

Awhhh that means a lot to me (Erika). I needed a lot of inspiration when Shanti was 4 months old…so glad I could pay it forward!
Amazing build you two, cant wait to see it in person.
Absolutely!!!
Such a great video! I can see how much work and love you put into it. I love all your plants and garden Erika! (I’m obsessed with plants as well) come visit Santa Barbara soon. We have a place for you to stay. Love and miss you guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love the tour, especially Shanti's part. She talks impressively well!
Thanks Robin!! Yes Shanti is a rockstar! And she does talk very well!! It’s seemed over night that we were talking in full sentences
I would add some magnets to the back of Your guitar. That way, it would stick to the metal wall.
You guys did any amazing job. Really really set up well. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much! We appreciate you tuning in!
Lovely build, thank you for sharing guys, tons of space.
What a great looking skoolie! Suggestion for the guitar, if It has a button on the bottom to attach a shoulder strap, add a leather strap or some sort of elastic to the wall that can attach button on the bottom and pull it tight against the wall 🙂
Great idea!! Yeah that would work great! Thank you for the suggestion
A happy face would be cute on the former stop sign.
LOL!!! Smiling at everyone!! Love it!! Thank you for tuning in 😃

Wonderful idea!!!
I love your skoolie! I especially love your cedar artwork. If I do go on the road to travel and live, I plan to go the skoolie route because of the size.

Yes Sandy! This is Matt here. Thank you for watching the video! We agree, the cedar is our favorite parts about the bus also A Skoolie is certainly the way togo!

If you like the ocean and a sunset, Start at the bottom with a blue teal,more teal halfway up a light purple and end with a dark purple, get a big dry brush and feather all the colors together!
Awesome suggestions!
Great couple, beautiful baby and fantastic job on the bus! You guys are inspirational!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful results! Well done. Happy travels!
Thank you so much! We think so too!
Amazing bus! I'm definitely gonna consider two mini splits, cause I'm heat sensitive, and the ability to both heat and cool via them sounds perfect.
Totally agree! I'm actually going to be uploading a video on the pros of having to mini splits rather than just one, and especially the advantages over a roof mount AC! Thank you!! We appreciate you tuning in!
magnet on the back of the guitar and add one to the wall.
Curious where you guys found your bus?
Hey! We got our bus at AAA Buses in Phoenix Arizona!
Velcro for the guitar. 😊
What a wonderful design, love your home. Shanti is a beautiful name ❤❤❤
Thank you! We truly loved that rig, it was designed in many late night hours and built with extremely long days. Shanti says “thank you, and my name is also Shantel in Spanish 😂”

Love the skoolie! I have an idea for the guitar. Buy from your nearest Dollar Tree one of those styrofoam pool noodles. Cut it in half lengthwise, then mount it on the wall behind the guitar.
Smart and simple!!! Thank you!
Hey, iveas gonna say... the colors and earth tones are amazing... i love the way everything turned out... keep on keepin on...
Thank you so much 😀 We appreciate you tuning in!

put your logo on there.

Or you could do something fun like a geometric shape, sacred geometry is beautiful.. you can even make it fun for your daughter like a sensory wall with maybe wood pieces that move or slide or fun textures to feel/look at.. or rock climbing pieces/monkey bars on ceiling.. IDK soo many fun ways maybe a combo of some of them but I'd totally make it fun for your little one, they're only little for so long gotta make it magical for them!
We love all those suggestions! Thank for sharing your ideas! And you’re right, there are so many things that could be added to that space 😃😃😃

Attach a small pad on the wall behind your guitar so it won't rattle or add a tiny patch of Velcro. You guys did a beautiful job!!!
Yessss! I think Velcro would work great!! I appreciate the idea!
@@TheirHappyTrails Put the loop side on your guitar so the hooks don't catch on your clothes when you play. Thanks for liking my comment. Wesley
@@wesleypulkka7447 Awesome! Great ideas. Thank you!
@@TheirHappyTrails Keep on busing, you guys are talented folks!
@@wesleypulkka7447 thank you! I really appreciate you saying that 😃😃😃
Tape a washcloth to the back of the guitar and it will stop banging up against the wall.
Perfect and simple!!
You should put on that side piece where it's supposed to come out and say stop as a regular school bus I would put there just let it be on both sides,with a sunflower!!!!
That would be so pretty! Thank you for the great idea!!
Love the happy colors natural light roof raide im starting to see is good idea
@@kellymarieamber thank you!!
Make a little extra cash that day🤣🤣
Idea requested 💡🤷🏻I don't know if it's something you guys would like 👍. Though how about a colored chalk board paint job that way you can just change the saying/design/picture by mood and preference( perhaps a dark hunter green or turquoise blue, that way it's still bright happy and colorful..but you can also still see most chalk as well..🤷🏻just and idea 💡 and food for thought suggestion.. Anywho thanks again for the great 👍 video shared and happy 😊 trails.
Wonderful!!! I hope you do a Skoolie or some kind of tiny home! It’s really worked out well for us, and I’m sure it would for you if it’s something your interested in!
Beautiful Design ‼️ Congratulations 🎉
Thank you 🙏🏼
wow im glad i watched the whole video its freaking amazing it was nice meeting and hanging out with yall at my sisters have to do it again sometime
Hey! Hope you’re doing well!
So much thought went into this build. It’s really nice!
Thank you very much!
Why don't you do a universal space mirror for Shanti.
What is a universal space mirror?!
Love it! Let me know when you’re back in Oklahoma so I can tour it in person!
Totally Isaac!! I’m not sure when we will be back over there but I know it will happen! Be good brother!
Thank you brother! I’ll definitely let you know when we are coming back through! Be good
Nice conversion. Where did you mount the front mini-split outdoor unit?
I welded a mount for the outside unit, and put it under the driver seat outside 🤘🏼
Many years ago I drove a converted Bus which was (if Memory serves Me) 45 Feet Long (Front Bumper to Rear of the Industrial Gas Bottle carrier) and people would ask Me what it was like to drive, My standard answer was “like a Scud Missile Carrier”. That usually shut them right up.
lol!!!!!! That’s amazing!!! Thank you for tuning in!!
On your stop sign put a picture of your old bus on that and put our beginnings on it or this is where we begin
Creative!!! Thank you for the suggestion!
👍👍👍👍
Thank you 🙏🏼
WOW, STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL HOME
AMAZING BUILD!! EXTREMELY TALENTED AND GORGEOUS
Thank you very much! We love it to! We appreciate you tuning in 😃😃
Omg that little girl is so precious!
Yes she is definitely the star of the show!!
@@TheirHappyTrails and what an amazing life she has with you guys! We live in an converted shuttle bus. We're fortunate enough to have an acre of land that we live on and always have a place to park. Our build is still in progress. Like yourself we knew nothing about converting a bus, but learned as we went along. I absolutely love our bus. Yours is absolutely gorgeous.
Use a velcro strap on your guitar.we ise them 🎉
That was the original idea but Matt just settled with there banging by his head in route 😂 Thanks for watching!
-Erika
Or make a piece of
Wood shape of guitar and clamp to it🎉
Ahh that would of been great! If there’s ever a bus in our future again, it’ll happen!
-Erika
Buy a GUITAR BAG for your GUITAR and then at a HOME DEPOT ,get a couple of wide HEFTY GORILLA TAPE, [DOUBLE SIDED] at a WALMART or AMAZON, get some strips of VELCRO,
PLACE YOUR GUITAT IN ITS BAG, MAYBE WRAP THE GUITAR IN SOME FOAM FOR BABYING YOUR 🎸, ANYHOW PLACE THE VELCRO STRIPS TO BOTTOM SIDE OF GUITAR BAG, THEN PLACE THE OPPISITE SYRIPS OF VELCRO TO PART OF THE CEILING ,WHERE IT'LL BE OUT OG THE WAY,MAUBE ABOVE YOUR BED, THEN WITH THE GORILLA TAPE ,TAPE THE VELCRO TO TAPE ON CEILING AND BAG, THEN DOUBLE SECURE IT WITH A BUNGEE CORDS.
need rubber disc or felt or flannel on wall behind guitar.
A Rubber disc is a fantastic idea! So simple, and would work great! Thank you for sharing the idea!
Drape a towel over your guitar while you're driving
Simple! I think that would work!
Buy a sticker on Amazon for the stop sign.
Good idea!! Thank you for tuning in!
Natural edge, not live edge. Beautiful build.
Oh ok! Is there is a difference between natural and live edge?!
Love the inside. Hope to see it up close sometime
Absolutely!!
Shanti was definitely my favorite
She is adorable.
We totally agree!! lol!!! Although we are little bias 😃😂
@@TheirHappyTrails LOL 😆.
I see y’all haven’t been to Delaware:( we have some fun places all around us here I recommend frontier town campground in Berlin MD and checking out oceancity and Assateague island 🐻🦬🏕🪵🐚🏄🏽🛟⛱🎡🏖🎇🎆🌅❤️🌊
We’ve actually spoken about coming that way next year!
Beautiful home.
Thank you very much Gail!
Try putting a turn down on your exhaust. That should make your exhaust or most of it go under your jeep. Auto parts or Truck stops .
Scott, that is a great idea!!!! Thank you for the advice
@@TheirHappyTrails Hopefully someday will meet up . In the process of looking for a 40’ pusher and being out there in Fall of 23 or spring of 24.
How much did this cost so far? Bus rebuild?
About 45k!
that herringbone design is cool!!!!
Yes!! We agree! That is one of the coolest parts of bus for sure!!
LOVE THIS BUILD ESPECIALLY THE TILE BACKSPLASH
