I’m 62 and can retire in a little over a year. I’ve worked since I was 14. I want to build out a cargo trailer so I can stay in it and tow my motorcycle when I’m not motocamping from my motorcycle. I can’t wait to travel. I love to ride. I’m so excited.
I drive a shuttle bus for work and my boss has a 2016 E450 wheelchair bus he is wanting to sell and willing to sell it to me. I can't wait to convert it.
My dream build is a shuttle. Using the seat frames for a Murphy bed is genius! It's obvious that Leroy put a lot of thought into his build. Tha js for sharing!
Ditto 😂 I've been struggling with how to fit the wheelchair, lift and a bed and this is perfect! I'm gonna use a sheet of plywood to make fold away seats, or maybe a vanity or desk, that can be used when the bed's put away too.
Thanks Beth, I missed that part, that is genius , I will need to watch this a few more times as I also plan on a shutttlebus conversion , Fantastic Build LeRoy ✌️ Marta
This fella should make a TH-cam channel and film his adventures. Seems like a really down to earth, cool guy. The kinda guy ya wanna have a beer with. Excellent video.
Your guest should be an inspiration himself due to following his dream to travel at his pace in his own way. Wishing him good luck on all of hos adventures
Live edge is very cool. I'd enjoy sitting down and chatting with this guy in person. Such a great way to live. I'm 59 and just about ready to do what he is experiencing now.
Sir you have a beautiful soul. Your voice is calm and smooth. You build is original. Clever spanner handles. Love all the wood fittings. You even have a shower. Shuttle bus is such a good size.
Very nice rig and artistic features. Well thought out design. Must be great to live in - just the fuel running costs that might keep the travelling down a bit. I think Leroy could make some money doing voice over work, too! 👍🏻
I'm like everyone else, i could listen to him talk all day. You can tell he put a lot of thought into this build. Great job. You found a true gem Bob, in thd person and his rig. Thanks for all you do.
I really like Leroy's approach to do things. Fire box that 'sips' wood. Repurposing seat frames. Solar generator instead of DIY electrical. Trailer hitch. Berkey. Limited need for hot water.... This is the type of bus I can relate to...
Wow that deep bass voice. Leroy needs to get in contact with someone at Audible about narrating some audiobooks. Or start a youtube channel from his phone doing unintentional asmr type stuff.
Getting ready to take the plunge. I think alone time with my fur kids can heal a lot of soul wounds. Mostly I neeeeed nature!!! People think traveling alone is scary, I think it's absolutely freeing.
Bob, maybe the greatest accomplishment is introcing the nomad lifestyle 4 so many people. No more is alternative living in America , whatever the reason they found their life's freedom.. beautiful ❤️. Thank you
Very cool build. Great idea using drop down seat frames on the bed but that shower is over the top with dedicated space taken up outside, brilliant. 2 thumbs up
I been watching the older guys builds to pick there brains and it has really helped me keep things simple and with my level of comforts. I could be happy with. I based my builds off these ideas and learned most importantly never underestimate your desire for comfort. I don’t wana live out of my vehicle 🚗 I want to thrive out of it … I found it was more important to have a nice bed and a seating area over a huge counter and kitchen area.. but that’s just what I needed most. You will definitely want to make modifications to your build.. So just build it and change it later.. get out there!
You are so right about doing it while you can. I had never traveling until I took a driving job, I fell in love with the road! So many beautiful things to see without ever leaving the US.
Cool "Rig" you have there.,......luckily for me, my Marathon Class C, has been a strong motorhome these past years. I'm a firm believer that if you treat your vehicles with care & respect they will provide unlimited service to you for years to come.

What a awesome build! I love the little Berkey stand. I also love how he repurposed those cabinets and used the stainless steel tops for a back splash. His swivel table top with the live edge is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. 😀❤👍🏻
Love his shuttle bus and his voice! He should be a podcaster or radio announcer. I’d tune in just to hear him speak. I also think the live edge Berkey stand and table are gorgeous. I would put L brackets around the toilet just in case. That would be a serious gross mess if it toppled over. And, on that note … Happy trails, everyone.
Great build!! I'm currently building an '05 E350 named "ROSEY", and have tossed the floor plan around so many times, bath and shower have had me struggling, "thinking outside the box" (bus),,, has given me a flood of ideas for a bathroom, wish you were able to open it up, but I think I got the idea, can't wait to share a fantastic design for solar panel mounting. Build is behind schedule but due to finish in September,,, ish,, Thanks Bob for having such simply, honest and interesting people and topics that never disappoint,, hope to see y'all soon!
This man almost has the same background as me,I had a Body Shop,self employed,retired on SS only,sold my house, I can relate. My shuttle even has the twin xl murphy bed, same water heater,same rubber floors. I wish I could still ride Harleys but my back won't allow it. Thanks for the video Bob I enjoyed this one!😁
I had already decided to go with a shuttle bus and this is exactly what I had in mind right down to the wood stove and cargo trailer behind. I'm fact I talked about it on my last video. That's such a coincidence!
What a creative build!!! I love the 'overkill' too... ha ha Leroy- I appreciated your explanations and your humility. Really love it. You seem like a really nice guy. Good luck to you!
Nice! Great job! It's good to stow away the bed and open space. There's nothing as warm as a wood stove to keep the chill away. The shower is very creative. You can shower privately without getting your feet muddy and your legs splashed. You were successful in creating a cabin feel with the artistic detail and wamth of the wood. Enjoyed your video. Happy trails.
Shuttle busses can be amazing. The fiberglass ones dont rust or dent easily, are quieter than a canned ham, naturally insulate better because the skin is a poor conductor of heat, wont' rot if you insulate, and are far more rodent resistant. This was a good video to demonstrate possibilities, thank you.
Dude should be a radio broadcaster with that terrific voice!
Love his rig.
YESSSSSSS LOVE IT ! 👍✌👌
or audio books.
He should be encouraged to do audio /video podcast, he would succeed.
Exactly what I was thinking!!!
I agree.
His voice is so calming. I want him to tell me bedtime stories around a campfire pls

@@tandiparent1906 thank you! I’m retiring in 18 days!
That guy has a perfect voice for radio/ audio books/ podcast/ voice acting… he really should look into it.
Leroy's got a real radio voice. Smooth.
I'm still considering this lifestyle and continue to watch various videos. I really found this informative. Does anyone else find his voice soothing 😌

This gentleman needs to do voice overs! He can make some extra cash on the road... Nice set up.
All those years with my head down. . . In deed.

Awesome Uncle LeRoy!!! Looks great!
A great guy that has made a nice home for himself. I'm surprised he doesn't have a dog traveling with him. Thanks Bob
Never thought of a Murphy Bed for a van build, but it makes perfect sense.
Love that guy's radio voice.
Live edge is very cool. I'd enjoy sitting down and chatting with this guy in person. Such a great way to live. I'm 59 and just about ready to do what he is experiencing now.
Oooooh I wish he had let us see the shower setup. The description of it sounds amazing! I can see that he would have some privacy.

Thumps up for the voice over!

she , I'm starting to get hooked on watching these types of video's ,, how to live in a van or whatever ,,
I’m a full Time Quartzsite resident! Papa and I Moved from Oregon 2 year’s ago! Absolutely love it here!

Peace... Shalom... Salam.. Namaste..Thank You for All your efforts... 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ 🌷 ☮️ ❤️
Wow that deep bass voice.

Really nice man and he has a nice home. I wish you happiness in all you find to do in this life. 🌹🌹🌹
Getting ready to take the plunge. I think alone time with my fur kids can heal a lot of soul wounds. Mostly I neeeeed nature!!! People think traveling alone is scary, I think it's absolutely freeing.
What a great build!
He's much smarter than he will admit to.
I wish him well :)
It's so cozy!!!!! So much to like about this shuttle bus build!
Sure would have liked to see the shower assembled.
Me too
Bob, maybe the greatest accomplishment is introcing the nomad lifestyle 4 so many people. No more is alternative living in America , whatever the reason they found their life's freedom.. beautiful ❤️. Thank you
I wish I could go there and eat lobster. I love lobster 🦞
My favorite build yet. Great job Leroy!!
Just when you think you've seen it all. This is very unique, and I think it's beautiful. Well done LeRoy.
This guy put some real thought into this build. Power, fridge, murphy bed and all. Cody stole the show again ! Safe travels Sir.
Very cool build. Great idea using drop down seat frames on the bed but that shower is over the top with dedicated space taken up outside, brilliant. 2 thumbs up

yes a work of art... maybe placed in the Nomad's Historical Museum in the future
You are so right about doing it while you can. I had never traveling until I took a driving job, I fell in love with the road! So many beautiful things to see without ever leaving the US.
Nice set-up Leroy. Appreciate the need for a solid unit. Laughed when you said you'd broken a few RV's.
Another great video, big luv from the Uk 🇬🇧😊😊🇬🇧
Cool "Rig" you have there.,......luckily for me, my Marathon Class C, has been a strong motorhome these past years. I'm a firm believer that if you treat your vehicles with care & respect they will provide unlimited service to you for years to come.

@@yoyojoe9240 Thank you for your reply.
This is literally my dream build. Love the wood stove!
Edit: and the origami shower!
Lots of good ideas done Nice. ⭐
I like how he really made it his own. It has his personality in it and he truly has made it a home.
That would be my dream break with all that power but that definitely is the perfect man cave rig ✌👍👏💖💪🎅🚌🌻
What a nice guy, he's done everything I would want to do to a bus, except I would probably build in the bed. It's beautiful!

I average 10-11mpg @ less than 65mph.
Bob you have got to get out of my head! 😆 Fourth or 5th time in a row you've read my mind and done exactly the video I needed!
What a awesome build! I love the little Berkey stand. I also love how he repurposed those cabinets and used the stainless steel tops for a back splash. His swivel table top with the live edge is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. 😀❤👍🏻
Love his shuttle bus. And he is clearly a really great guy . Bob draws good people into his path because he is such a great guy 😊
I could TOTALLY live in that 😎❤️
A shuttle bus is perfect for full time living. I am impressed with the Murphy bed and his clever ideas.
I'm excited to watch this. About to buy almost the same year shuttle bus. Looks just like this one.
Very Nice Shuttle Bus. I Like the natural wood like in a cabin.
That just wow! I wouldn't change a thing! I've always wanted the shuttle bus.
Love his shuttle bus and his voice! He should be a podcaster or radio announcer. I’d tune in just to hear him speak. I also think the live edge Berkey stand and table are gorgeous. I would put L brackets around the toilet just in case. That would be a serious gross mess if it toppled over. And, on that note … Happy trails, everyone.
Freaking awesome build !!!! Come to Tennessee !!! Let’s go !!:)
This man is very talented in his build. I have a Shuttle Bus myself and I love it.
Beautiful build. Love the wood. And Leroy has a great voice.
I love all of the unique details, like the water filter stand and the wrench handles. Such nice touches to personalize the bus!
Thanks for the tour Bob and Leroy! Great rig Leroy. Safe and happy travels!
This was a great build. Thank you for sharing
Love that his brother Andy helped. Really is a nice home 🏡
As a moto girl myself, I am loving his story. This is literally my dream for retirement. Ride and live small.
A humble man with great wisdom. Phenomenal tour

Be blest. ☦️Great build‼️♥️👩🏻🦳Have fun!
What a creative build!!! I love the 'overkill' too... ha ha
Leroy- I appreciated your explanations and your humility. Really love it. You seem like a really nice guy. Good luck to you!
Who else wanted to see his Harley and it's garage?
Wow! So many creative solutions in this build. And, Leroy seems like someone I'd like to meet some day.
Nice! Great job! It's good to stow away the bed and open space. There's nothing as warm as a wood stove to keep the chill away. The shower is very creative. You can shower privately without getting your feet muddy and your legs splashed. You were successful in creating a cabin feel with the artistic detail and wamth of the wood. Enjoyed your video.

I was thinking the cabin feel even before he said that's what he did on purpose. Good job!
FANTASTIC BUILD !! WELL THOUGHT OUT !
Sweet rig! The nice Fella looks like Ernest Hemingway
Awesome build!!
Great video Bob. The gentleman has a very nice set setup. Thanks for sharing!
Shuttle my dream thanks BOB u help more people than u will ever know Godspeed
you can't over kill on Your Generator. Awesome Design and style. Love it
Leroy love your voice strong and soothing hope we see more of u,
This guy is incredible!!! The Murphy bed is awesome👍🏼
What an awesome shuttle bus build. I wish we could have seen his shower set up!!
That man has a voice for radio!!!
What a wonderful build and I love his wrench door handles!! I really loved this one!!!
Cheers
Another wonderful build. I'm still a van guy but this would make me happy.
I love the design! Especially that Murphy bed using the pre-existing flip up seats
Thanks, this turned out real homey. Had no idea new rvs are so fragile
He'd be great reading westerns. Nice shuttle home.
DANG that's a lot of solar!!! Another great video Bob!
Its always great when you can build things and have friends to help create beautiful things for you build.
Shuttle busses can be amazing. The fiberglass ones dont rust or dent easily, are quieter than a canned ham, naturally insulate better because the skin is a poor conductor of heat, wont' rot if you insulate, and are far more rodent resistant.

I love his rig!
What a neat, functional build!
Just WOW! Lots of money and innovation there! Great build!
Love your rig! That wood desk is beautiful!
The amount of space is awesome
I need a perch like that for my Berkey!! In the van I bungeed it put.
