VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
The Dillon family started their love for busses with a Gymnastics Bus business back in San Diego, CA. After seven years of success, their work came to a halt with the Covid crossroads challenging enrollment. Rather than shying away from their passion, they converted a second bus into their new home and hit the road! This skoolie is fabulous, and their story is truly captivating.

The Pandemic didn't slow this family down. You can't choose what happens, you choose how you react!
luv your bus home.
you could of still took
gym classes outside
up a park or on grassland
and the beach and still earned a living, thats what they do in my country.
I think it also takes loving what it doing to make it better. When someone is homeless n living in a vehicle it's easy to make it work if I decide to embrace it instead of fight it. I know that's way easier said then done but with all the help out there in this world there is a way if there is a will to do it.

@@TheFirstBubbaBong you nailed it brother.
@@moirabardin9030 what a wonderful idea- thank you!! We wish we could have brought along our equipment for teaching. We left it all behind in storage for now ❤️
Their kid's bedroom space is really nice!
every kid I know of loves a kid cave.
Best part of the bus
Thanks so much! It was worth it for him to have that instead of our having our bedroom in the back as they traditionally are.
I'd of loved the space as a kid.
Great job. You took a hard situation and turned it into a golden opportunity. I think that your son will grow up cherishing this special time in his family’s life.
🙏 thanks 😊
I love the kid space
THAT KID'S SPACE, THE HUGE BATHROOM, KITCHEN, TWO TV'S, AND REFRIGERATORS ARE REALLY NICE...I THINK I JUST DESCRIBED THE WHOLE BUS 😁
Smart family, very flexible and creative.
❤️ thank you!
Wow guys. Well done for adapting and thriving!
Thank you! 😀
Really cool bus conversion 😍💐🌼💙
Totally different layout and I love it. Unique and very functional.🤟👍✌️peace.
Thank you 😊 🙏
Salute your family, true American spirit to survive in challenge situation. AND, the bathroom full of ideas I can apply to my RV. Thanks
Yay! Glad you found the bathroom inspiring. The back of the bus is our favorite part!
I Love It! God Bless Your Amazing Family & Home, Thank You For Sharing Your Journey!❤️🙏🏼😇
Thank you 🙏
@@raisingkindnesstv2301You are so Welcome, Very Inspirational, Truly Blessed❣️😇
I LOVE THIS!
HAPPINESS ALONG WITH CONTENTMENT/SIMPLICITY IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT.
💯
To each their own...you made it work. This is very unique.......would never work for me though, lol! Too crowded for my liking.
The coolest thing about these builds is building what works for you! I’m sure you’re coming up with tons of amazing ideas that will work via this channel! We totally binge watched episodes prior to our own build that I’m sure helped us decide on what we did and didn’t like
@@raisingkindnesstv2301 yup! That's actually what I'm doing lol....can't tell you how many episodes of bus tours I've watched. Can't wait to build my own bus in the future.
I love how you have embraced Ingenuity and done what you needed to do to survive. Great attitudes, so refreshing.
Thank you 🙏
I'd put some Reflectix on the windows in the closet so your clothes don't fade in the sun! There's lots of ways to do it, but that's a big concern I have there.
Thanks for that recommendation!! We’ve been challenged with figuring out a solution- thank you!
@@raisingkindnesstv2301 Glad to help! I watch a lot of these and see different options. You can also get foam with a foil backing for about $10 at Lowe's, if it doesn't get scratched by coat hangers.
I've also thought about spray paint from Walmart for $1/can, but that's permanent. There's also window tint, vinyl or that plastic window film.
Dang! Talk about turning lemons into lemonade with sugar and spice. I love it. Wanted to see their dog though 😝
Lol aw darn, we had to keep her outside per cameraman’s request. She’s a little too active with multiple people in our tiny space lol
Love ur son room
Its beautiful and very thoughtful about the child
Love your layout!! Your Lil boy has the coolest spot any bus I've ever seen! ☺️ Safe travels.
Thank you for sharing your lovely home and experience with us. God bless!
Our pleasure!
Great mobile home !!! 🌷👌👩👨👶
@8:49 I peeked the baby's room and was like "hurry hurry hurry". I wish they had a starry eyed emoji 😍😍😍 I'm in love.
Really nice and cozy and child friendly💜💜💜
Props to your ability to adapt with the situations that come at us in life your home looks great and super cozy I have full size appliances as well it's not much more space taking to have them and more cost effective than RV appliances
RV doesn't mean real value besides home should feel like home.
Thanks for sharing and happy trails.
Oh and great set up for bodie? He's a lucky little guy to have great parents to make such a special bedroom for him
Well done parents, well done.
Thanks so much!! 🙏
What a lovely home you’ve made ... Good luck in the future....
Beautiful I’m so sorry I lost every thing I’m so sorry !! Reinvent your selves !
I think this is a wonderful way to raise a little one and grow as a family. This is real life RIGHT HERE! I love both sinks btw, and that beautiful table. I never would have been able to let go of that either! I also love all the closet space. I love my clothes and shoes. Just because you live tiny doesn't mean you don't want to look nice. Am I right? I'm right! Haha! This is great and I wish nothing but wonderful things for this family!
Aw thank you Tammie! 😀
Great build.. a lot of storage and a large bathroom
Very nice. You might consider putting a back splash of sorts between your counter and your bed/ couch. It could save bedding from spills.
I absolutely love your sons room amazing build
Aw thank you 😊
Tiny home Tours ; what a fantastic bus. I really, really love your kitchen & cooker. That sink would be perfect to bathe a baby or you could wash small items of clothing.
The bunk beds look great. You've got a brilliant bathroom.
What a fantastic home you've made Thumbs up......top marks
Wow. What a great space, and a wonderful family. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you 😊
_Very cool. I really like their setup; nicely done!_
Cozy little home!
Very delightful presentation. Thanks
Yay thank you 😊
So cool!
I love how you both were able to adapt to a situation that was out if your control. Well done. I do envy your life style.
I don't have a child anymore, at 67, I'd put my dresser in where your child's dresser is, and I'd have a bed for my sister. Then we'd have beds for both of us and we'd travel and work the resorts in national parks.
That sounds amazing!
Quickly please! My Dad died at 6u last November. I wish he had enjoyed life a lot more. Please don't procrastinate, start saving and start a journal towards it.
Great home!
Their son's space is amazing! It's so great to see he actually has a place to play other than a small bed space!
First bus with this design. I like it and I like that you have your son a comfortable space.
Amazing
I love the sons room.
Americans adapt. Kudos to your family in these tough times.
🙏
Amazing attitude. Glad you not only made te best of a situation, you have thrived. I wish you all the best for the future
Yes its a big step an the 2 of youvare brave to take the steps w your family to do this. It looks great!
Love Your son’s area. So fun!!!!
I for sure think it would be so cool to go to learn gymnastics in a school bus n I totally think they should do that with online options n there is their business back up n running
I had hoped in the beginning of the pandemic to teach our classes via Zoom but our parents said “please not another zoom class!” Our students being preschoolers made it really difficult when we trialed it. 😅
@@raisingkindnesstv2301 Zoom did not work for our local yoga studio either. One location shut down but first in person class today in 13 months! I am so impressed with how you just kept moving forward. Wishing your family the best 🥰
To each their own but I feel like it’s really crowded and tight I feel like they could have designed it better
Everyone has their own preferences. Personally, we’ve been able to make this space work. The front DID feel overwhelmingly tight going from 1,000 sqft to 209 sq ft of living space with our “one way hallway” as we call it lol. But, once you get into a groove, it works for us! 😉 besides, this is what we came up with and built in under 50 days! It was crazy! We wouldn’t change a thing except for making our bed a little smaller to open the space another couple inches...maybe.
Great build, really admire you and what you have had to go through love the new home.
Aw thank you 😊
You Guys did an AMAZING JOB. KUDDOS TO YOU ALL. NICE NICE REALLY NICE BUILD
Nice job!
Very nice!
Impressive!
Love it awesome 👍
🙂 Nice!
Bhodi's definitely going to look like his dad grown up. 😊
Lol he can already unlock daddy’s phone with his face! 😂😅
I've often wondered how families handle private time with kids right there. What do people do, send them out to play? How do you handle it in the middle of the night?
I have been watching a lot of these bus conversion and I must say in the short time you built it you did a AWESOME JOB. Do you not travel in this bus?
Wow, thanks for that complement! I commend and admire my husband for powering through this so quickly! He was VERY sore daily but powered through! 💪🏼 we do travel ☺️ we store things in sink during travel, which takes us about 15 minutes to pack away. We have learned new ways to store things though that we’d love to implement! It’s not the most convenient to pack and unpack every time
Looks like showering would splash all over the sink area counter tops
It is actually awesome! We don’t have that problem. If you go back to the bathroom, see the curtains? We just pull those across the sink and back wall to protect everything. We also sealed the wood with conditioner and tung oil
@@raisingkindnesstv2301 oh yeah. I didn’t catch that. My wife and I love your bus/home.
I appreciate how different your floor plan is from all the others I've seen. As I plan out a bus yours has challenged some of my thinking. I have a question. Many schoolies are fairly symmetrical in their layout with the large closet on one side it blocks a fair amount of window space. Is this a factor in which direction you park your bus? Thanks for sharing!
He does not look in his 50's he looks much younger. I'm 59 so I may be biased.🤩
Maybe nature is Great 🙏 try to be happy always
What is the big silver thing on the kitchen worktop? Cute bedroom for their son.
A Berke water filter
Do you need an upgraded driving license to drive your bus. Here in the UK you need to have passed your license before 1997 to drive up to seven and half ton. I have such a license but would feel uncomfortable driving such a big vehicle in England but in your large beutiful country I don't think I would be daunted. Love your video and keep on keeping on.
I'd love living in this bus, it would beat apartment living by leaps and bounds. This complex sucks!
Lol, do it girlfriend! Living in the bus is seriously an amazing experience!
I’m so sorry you guys got hit so hard. That makes me sad, but you’re home is beautiful and cozy and I love it’s name. Kindness is everything. Peace and big love to you all 💕
Thanks so much! 🙏
Does it ever feel too cramped?
“We salvaged our computer”?
When I was going to uni my dad's office was upgrading and I went there and _begged_ fir their trash electronics. They were planning to sell them, maybe I don't really know 🤷 but they gave me three computers. We still have one now. So I definitely have savages electronics.
Lol, hey, it’s the off the cuff statement I came up with at the time, what can I say 😉 my intention was to express we chose to keep it. We gave up literally EVERYTHING except for what you see in this bus + our business equipment we stored in San Diego. All our personal belongings are in our bus and car
This is really a unique build with cabinets running most of the length of the bus. It works for you both and it's amazing. So cool you could save the table!!! It's also great that your love for each other has sustained all the challenges you both faced.
Thank you 🙏
I like when the bedroom is in the back of the bus. It gives the parents a place to go if they are sick or more privacy for other thing’s
96 years old? More like 300 years.
The cabinets that open from the side seem like they would be super annoying.
Layout feels tight choppy and crowded.
Laundry every 2 weeks. I do laundry twice a week atleast
I would feel claustrophobic. Looks like a whole house crammed into a bus. Nice room for the child though.
Too cramped.
I'm an honest person. Not one of my favorites. The couch\bed takes up wayyy to much space as well as the closets. But this is your home so enjoy.
I think if we had to do this all over again...it’s hard to say we’d definitely change the size of our bed. It is def nice to have the king size bed on cold nights when our little guy sleeps with us
@@raisingkindnesstv2301 ..understandable with little ones ❤
The two fridge make no sense.
this is too cluttered. they were not willing to give up enough. They are going to hate it before long.
What else do you think we could give up? In your experience living in a tiny space, what have you given up that you see is taking up too much room in our space? ☺️We def go through periods of feeling like we have too much. In fact, I think we’ve done two more purges since this video was filmed! It’s always a work in progress. 💪🏼🙏☺️
Horrible
