Thanks for watching!
It never gets old seeing what people do to make something a home. Also how little money is needed to do this. They all seem so happy with their choices as well. Thank you for the videos.
I just love the whole idea of being able to just go whenever you want. This couple did a great job.
It's the good life!
What a great example of how comfortable a home on wheels can be. Also, what a neat couple. They're so creative and open to new experiences. I love how cozy they made their home, and I love the bathtub idea Wendy! Great video.
Thanks for you're show. I enjoy and at 42 years of age and working hard and being married two times, I had it with the false dream this world tries to make you believe in. I want freedom. Thankyou for the inspiration! God bless!
False dream of the contrived world is right. This is an answer to prayer for me. I'm downsizing now,and so excited. I wish I would have known sooner.
I am so glad we visited you I have the perfect idea now for My Books Thank You and special things from family members. And plants. I love your bus. Good Memories! Blessings Always.
Thanks for another great inspirational video. It's people like this that make America great, not the super consumers.
It was my pleasure to interview them, definately walking the walk!
I use the same flooring for the walls in my bathroom. I've lived in a van and living in a short bus is amazing by comparison. I have everything in it.
I have a short bus too!
Smart, happy, everday Americans with great ingenuity! Thanks Bob!
@@tracischeelk29 jews hate us
These folks have turned this bus into a very cozy home. It is cool to see all the meaningful items that they were able to keep with them.
Bob, thanks for posting this couple, I love them & their home. would love to see what's new with them. Rock on!!!!
Lived in a school bus when tree-planting all over the south for about 8 years. Some of the best years of my life. Great video Bob, thanks again.
I am a lucky man, and yes it will be happening again.
My absolute favorite Bob Wells video! This is proof that you don't need money to make you happy.
What a delightful couple. This was my first ever experience with a potential look into a school bus conversion for a off grid home. Thank you Bob
A bus seems like a cool option if you can get it done properly and for the right price.
I want to be their neighbor! A perfect example of a cool, happy couple with shared goals, and dreams.. Karma smiles on people like this. family values.. gran's table, Dad made me this.. living green throughout.. A place you could walk into and immediately feel at home, and not be sad at all should it be gone tomorrow.. Good find Bob.. onward.. (~)8-#}
They have a great cost effective build...for the composting toilet...she gave detailed useful info...thx 4 sharing😊
I have to echo the many comments here about what a great couple that took a ole' school bus and made it their H.O.M.E., when i see folks like this and their surroundings it keeps me engaged to find a way in making "Nomadding" my new way of life. Listening to them talk about their adventures, home and all you can hear the happieness in their voices (not true when you talk to someone that has the burden's of owning a stick frame home and all the issues that come with that.) Great video Bob, looking forward to your future movies of "Lives as a nomad".
Hi bob, I am a single woman 56 yrs young, I stumbles on your channel a few months ago and I am totally hooked I cannot drive (Yet) but I am preparing myself for Nomad living :) I am saving for a Van/motor home.
I have a life long condition and I have seen many women on your video's whom have the same conditions I have and they too have inspired me so much to do this, Like you say about being slaves to the 'Fat cats' and government I have been coming off grid slightly over the years while in a brick home.
Everyone thinks I am mad ( Nothing new there) but I am serious and want to do this within the next 3 years if not earlier.
Many thanks for all the advice and info on what and how to do things, I am totally hooked
Keep up the good work spreading the word and encouraging people to live life and not in one place entirely :)
Wendy Wobbles from Manchester UK
I LOVE HER LAUGH!!!!
Do not love her laugh
Seems like a nice couple. Hope they are still doing well in whatever they are doing now
What a great home! Loved the wood burning stove. Amazes me how creative people are.
The inside looks very cozy. I love the choice of colors and all the windows give it that open feel. The little bath tub is cute. Good job Guys !
I remember this one. I just love it. What a neat couple. Wish they had a website or whatever...
CrankyBubushka thank you...we spent the summer camp hosting in Sequoia NF with no cell service. We still plan to start a blog at some point.
CrankyBubushka. we are on instagram as Busgirl3 or in Facebook : Wendy Flesch or Jeremy Domire
Wendy Flesch Thanks Wendy!! I just love your bus :)
Wendy Flesch omg I remember u guys from a campsite u were the rangers at! I have red hair, was in a new VW black jetta. I didn't have enough for the stay and you were generous to take what I had and let me stay! I came really late at night.
the campsite was by the California hot springs
Thanks Bob! Glad to see our video back up! We spent the summer camp hosting in the Sequoias and are working in Taos NM for the winter. Hope to cross paths soon!
we are bummed to miss it but our sticks & bricks back in Ohio hasn't sold yet. But we refuse to give up the lifestyle so we are making it work & keeping our fingers crossed it sells soon so we can have even more feeedom!
Just wanted to say Jeremy and Wendy are such an inspiration and were adorable in the video. I am fairly new to TH-cam and came on TH-cam looking for some tips on buying one and Bob you have been wonderful. Thanks for taking all the timeand thanks to the kind of people that share their home with us all. Tips are just great.
I watched this couple and could watch them over again. Just love their energy and the interior of the bus 😀
Great work, beautiful home. Bob you are such a great person
Great bus. I'm truly impressed with this lady's overall knowledge, like a boss!
Some of us like strong women, others fear and hate them. I'm glad you are the former.
And here I was thinking that she never gave him a chance to talk , and when he did start talking she just talked over him anyway >>>and what a cutie he is,,,,but,,,,,, they seem like a great couple,,,
Yes, many men are intimidated by strong women (women are too). We are just as feminine as the rest. Real women, especially White women, are natural to being strong, assertive, and handling their own outdoors. I think about this watching the women in these videos.
By far my most favorite video, love the bus 🚌 and her hippie-bohemian style is magical. Awesome couple. 😉 lovely altars. 🔮
Thanks Luna, I totally agree!
Say what you want.young people are smart about getting a school bus and travel
See the country .why sit
All your. Life paying. A 30yr mortgage and still not. Owning your home?
Get out and go places .
Life is short.and travel is
Cheaper.good by.
You got it, Eugene Cobb. Life is short. The mortgage and worldly life is near worthless. I wish I would have done this when I was young. I'm 55. I still have time to enjoy. Downsizing now Hope you are too.
awesome bus wendy and jeremy 💜💜💜
To me,there are no "old" Bob Wells videos.For one,many I have missed.Others I enjoy watching more than once.Someday,I trust,your work will be a classic reference for aspiring nomads,many decades from now.May I suggest you additionally post the interview date,if available in the description in addition to the reposting date.Best to Jeremy & Wendy.
both of you have a beautiful voice I never heard before, just listening to you is an inspiration!
Their bus 🚌 reminds me of “The Partridge Family” ! FAR OUT!!!! The paint and colors are so light and breezy looking and I really like the sunset on the backdoor. What a sunny ☀️ scheme. And it just suits them. I’m so proud to see younger people NOT wasting their time and money on the “Greed is Good” Philosophy. We need more of this. Although I really like ALL the interviews of all the Lone 🐺 Wolves out here on the road.
Pardon me but I blame it on the rebel in me.
Cody looks more chilled than a Rocky mountain high from Colorado...cheers again cobber :)
Hope these folks are going to be at the RTR, I will bring a bag of oak for their stove. I have a pal that saves scraps from his business. He makes custom bannisters for stair cases and he uses oak and silver maple. They glow all night and produce wonderful heat. I use in my dutch oven cooking. Welcome magic bus folks!!!!
Wow, lady, thanks for letting your man talk a bit. :) he has a very nice voice, and speaks very well.
polly jetix 😂😂😂😂😂
right? geez! poor guy got no say in this and probably doesn't in much with life with her, lol
Some men like not having to talk. I’m like the husband - i love that my partner does most of the talking. He doesn’t look unhappy at all
@@joygillum1120 I'm sure he loves being interrupted every time he opens his mouth.
Penn & Teller? LOL sometimes one person lets the other person do the talking. LOL I don't have that deep sexy female voice, but I probably speak 3 or 4 words for every one my husband does. But my chirpy high-pitched voice would have to be toned done on videos! LOL Both have cute laughs!
I usually skip ads, but that Roadrunner ad was great! Made me want to be a truck driver.
Awesome Home on wheels for only $5000
Enjoyed watching this again Bob !
Thank you for re-posting this video. I love this couple & their bus!
Cant thank you enough for sharing a video that addresses my last comments and concerns about the nomadic lifestyle with a family. Their vision is a little different than mine (I want to go further offroad than a bus can take me) but it sure is nice to see someone who has overcome the hurdles of traveling with a family.
Blame Poodwaddle we are currently parked next to a couple who had 5 kids living and traveling in a school bus!
nice couple, enjoyed the video,Thanks
thank you Mr. Wells for all your hard work on the videos & the inspiration you give out. you have truly help to ignite the passion in my heart.
thank you Sir
peace✌
Really fascinating couple, love their home (love all the books!) - that's what's important, keeping what means the most and pare off the unessentials. Thanks Bob!
I'm really inspired by how they used their stuff on hand in innovative ways!
I know of somethings that could work!
thanks for sharing. cheap, beautiful and practical.
awesome bus makes me wish i still had my bus love the cover over the back windows and the door very cool.
What an incredible space ! WOW ! I just love it !
Funny, the artwork at 13:30 looks like you Bob. Been there before I guess. 😀
jagerjf01 I thought the same!
Loved this documentary of the Bus and how they transformed it.
That is a genuine tiny house on wheels. Lovely home and plenty of room for 2 people and 3 dogs.
Has got to be the best example of building a perfectly livable bus on a $5,000 budget. When I bought my 1rs RV it was a 1976 Sierra 28ft class A. It had everything I needed in it and I only paid $7,000 for it. It was very small but I had a good place to sleep, a good kitchen and bathroom. What else do you need? I live I LA in a trailer park and my space rent was only $275 with all utilities except propane included, even a gardener.
I lived in that little coach for 6+ years. Then I traded it in on my Gulf Stream Sun Stream Hi Rise Class A motorcoach gasser. It's 36ft long and has a separate bedroom the other one didn't.
It's a 1988, I've been living in it for 23+ year's now! I still love it as much as I did the day I brought it home.
It has a nice fresh full body paint job on it and looks like new. But I still loved my little 28ft Sierra.
How much space do you need to be happy? You don't need a multi million dollar coach to love living in a bus!
Human ingenuity!
Bravo! To you all!
They are adorable.
Seems like old busses can be a great solution.
this is exactly what i want to do. a bus conversion.
Great job building that bus with a very small budget.
Hah!! I haven't seen this bus in years. I used to see it every Saturday in and around Columbus!
Once again thank you for helping others on there journey of freedom.
School bus conversions are always fun to build. I've seen some unbelievable school bus conversions that put a lot of $100K motor-homes to shame believe it or not. This is that really cool 60s/70s look for us old hippies who like that style. They are a fun couple that I think most folks would enjoy as well. Wow, all that for just $5K, unbelievable! Another fine video presentation Bob, thanks for sharing.
Fantastic! Very very cool ideas. Love it.
Wonderful....but can the man get a few words in? Lol
Apparently that's how they like it.
More like how she likes it. We, as men, are mostly emotionally controlled and bullied.
@@SteveWillNotDoIt1984 r/niceguy lmao
Even
Maybe they are happy and it works for them. I sure like to think so.
Ahh! My hearts desire! I bought a 1964 International but and converted it into our camper. Loved the challenge. We ended up moving 1000 miles in it for a Job interview in Pensicola, Fl. but we lived in it with two young kids until we were established and then I sold it to a Boyscout group and it was perfect for them because we had drop down bunks with chain stays, Kitchenette Bath etc. Very fun! Good job you two! Thanks for the vids again. Brian
Thanks Bob . I,ve watched this on your first channel when you put it on before and now I,ve enjoyed it a second time . Keep up the good work and "Happy Trails"
Makes me want this adventure! Very nice home!
trailer+tiny home=bus.... I dig it!!
They created a comfortable, attractive home. :)
Very nice. Wow, good job!
I absolutely LOVE all of the colors, creativity, and love that you both have put into your home. Total zen vibe!
Great on a budget. I have seen much smaller for too much money. I like the openness of it.
Awesome video seem like very kewl peeps...I also felt like I was watching a 70s band on the road footage ....and cozy feeling
Wow! Just wow! 💫💫💫💫
Wow, this woman is fascinating.
love the table and the floors
I LOVE this home they've made out of a bus! Thanks for sharing, awesome and inspiring!
Great video. I realize it might not be possible, but it would be interesting to have updates on the people in some of the older videos. Still love their life? Changes? etc?
Yes, I'd like you to do an update on them, Bob. Maybe your trails will cross again later & we'll all benefit from it! :-)
Pretty nice. They didn't say how many kids they had. Unless they call the dogs kids. I only saw the bed they sleep on in the back. I didn't see the sanitation bucket or ? only a tub. Nice for traveling. I think they said they have a job in Utah. thanks
That's an awesome bus build.
I hope to have a bus in a few months. These videos give me lots of ideas! Thanks Bob
In the middle of my conversion so all these ideas help thanks!
Love it! So cool! You guys are so personable. Thanks, Bob! Great interview.
Affordable , roomy , moble , the price 5000 , cost of freedom PRICELESS.
really really enjoyed viewing their home. luv the kitchen table-beautiful. luv her bathroom setup. Most buses ha've their bed at the very end of the bus. like the way they chose to have their bathroom at the end of bus, while putting their bed beneath the sun roof. Like Luna' s cozy setup as well. lovely home.
Fellow Ohioans with a Steal your Face. My kind of people! Nice bus!

This bus is so appealing in its simplicity. The wood stove is a very cozy addition. Congrats and good luck out there. I hope that you can meet up and do a follow up video and let us know how it's going, how it worked for your Mom, follow up tips. Best wishes and thank you Bob. Great video!
