- We stopped in to see our dear friends Ben and Karen, and the most amazing bus conversion ever!
Ben Willmore is known for his amazing Photoshop skills and experience - and has been on the road full time since 2006 working remotely as a photography and digital mastery instructor. He was the first fellow 'technomad' we met in our travels in 2008, and we've enjoyed converging with Ben & Karen across the country over the years.
He purchased this Flxible bus in 2009 and. just got the conversion done in late 2017 after many trials and tribulations. His research on vintage coaches inspired us to purchase our 1961 GM 4106 conversion in 2011. But his is officially waaaaaay cooler than ours :)

Incredible detail! You can tell he’s lived in an RV a long time. Everything is so well thought out.
I’m astounded by the fit & finish. Love the retro look, this must be the talk of the park when they pull in!
I bet all of that came with an astounding price tag 😭🤔
@@ericdee6802 probably less than a new RV, and 2 professionals combined income. They make money by being professional photographers on the road. They spent 8 years making it that nice.
And probably still some places too snooty to have an old bus.
Gotta be a dedicated hobby ! However, with this coronavirus going on, your travels must be measured ! 🇺🇸🎭😇
Amazing...
That bus is just plain fantastic!! Can't imagine how much it would have cost to have all of that custom work done, but it's a one of a kind piece of rolling artwork. Congrats to the owners! May their travels be long and happy in that amazing machine!!
I don’t know how much it cost them to build but, it is easily a 2 million dollar RV
Just the bus on the outside is a design masterpiece. I really love all the tech goodies inside. Nice job man.
That is the most awesome bus conversion ever. That is the right bus for me and I’d love to get one and restore it to a similar state as this one.
I never thought a bus could be so beautiful but WOW!!!! What a lucky couple that get to live in such an amazing piece of history 😊 GORGEOUS!!!!!
That's the best bus that I've seen. I think the size is perfect...big enough for everything you really need, but still reasonably easy to drive.
RamblinAround b.
I agree !!! unbelievably brilliant
Yes But is it Reasonably Priced ??$
That is beautiful you too did that love it
@@codamonday6916 absolutely not lol
Most amazing build I’ve seen!!! From the retro bus to all the automated workings and the gorgeous woodwork inside. Awesome!!! Thank you for sharing Ben and Karen’s home.
enjoyed this tour Ben and Karen built an amazing comfy home.
Wow! Beautiful! It’s like an Art Deco on wheels. Thank you for the tour!
The craftsmanship is about as good as it gets! Great video, amazing hand-crafted wooden features (curved corners, matching grain, dual use doors) the attention to detail is beyond what Ive ever seen!
That is probably the most coolest conversion I've seen I love this bus....👍👍
That's the best bus that I've seen. I think the size is perfect...big enough for everything you really need, but still reasonably easy to drive.
Best one I have ever seen. The woodworking is superb, and you have 100% up to date functionality combined with a terrific vintage style.
This is the best renovation I've seen yet. Beautiful vintage bus. Beautiful build and tech.
This is the absolute best bus conversion ever!!! You guys are the champs on space usage. Omg! Everyone should see this! Thanks.
Flxible was the first American Bus Builder to offer their Buses in an RV straight from the factory as well........Hence why "Johnny Cash" and many other Musician's of their era had one !
Oh and cool Pun on your YT Screen Handle> As "AFC BRILL" was a long time Bus Builder that built many of the "Streamlined/Art Deco Busses" for Greyhound, Trailways, and even Passenger Train Cars for the Railroad's back in the day !
Amazing! Not only is it highly functional but it is also an incredible piece of artwork from a time I am particularly fond of. Thank you for filming and sharing this.
Isn't it amazing? It's high tech. It's geeky. It's gorgeous. It's made of passion and love. It's a true artistic masterpiece.
You guys are beyond amazing!...... You are really living the dream. I would like to wish you long healthy lives, you are the special people on the planet. Your bus is possibly the best outthere and you deserve the best! This has truly lifted me watching this, your friends are good special people too. I really love it when I see good people living life properly. Thankyou for sharing your life with us. God bless you and all around you.
Beautiful, beautiful restoration and conversion!! Personally I wouldn’t have everything electronic, but he has the knowledge to troubleshoot and maintain it. Absolutely gorgeous rv! Classic with a modern drivetrain and interior.
Ben and Karen, you have amazingly good taste, high standards and are exceptional achievers. Big congratulations on your stellar creation and to the folks who worked on it. Happy travels to you both and to Cherie and Chris(thanks for the video).
Wow!!! All the bells and whistles. This is one of the best looking, inside and out and high tech buses I've seen so far. Amazing!
Great video to watch. It was very satisfying to know that a great piece of American craftsmanship was saved and repurposed.
Thats the best bus conversion I have ever seen. Just wow!
Ben and Karen, your conversion is absolutely gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing. Love it!
OMG! Hands down the best and most creative build of a bus-to-RV conversion I've ever seen. Hats off to this couple for their work and originality.
I sold RV's and this is the BEST design that I have ever seen. I bet he could sell the plans to a vintage bus conversion company. Amazing
As someone who has messed with home automation.. he needs more manual switches and less "opening an app" Or he needs to get Alexa or similar going to control everything. (downside is no internet no Alexa - voice processing is remote) The third or fourth time you have to go to another room to get your phone off the charger so you can close the blinds its going to get old. Even just sticking a few hardwired tablets with the control application would make it much more user friendly.
To be fair, it seems like he is planning that sort of voice bridge.
Still its a gorgeous bus, he obviously spent hundreds of hours on the wood and cabinet work. Its still odd seeing so much tech merged into so much vintage...
The most amazingly beautiful bus I have ever seen, I want one !
This is the most beautiful bus home on TH-cam. It’s Presidential! I was truly amazed. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work! Bless your lovely bus.
The finest bus conversion i have ever seen, the design worn inside is fantastic! Great work!
The most beautiful conversion I have ever seen!
Gorgeous bus and the most beautiful conversion of a bus I've ever seen. The woodwork reminds me of the first class train cars of yore. Stunning!!!
It reminds me of a bus from the 40s and 50s that you would see in black and white movies of old Hollywood. Even when I was a child they have buses similar to that. It is really a beautiful boss and I was in awe just looking at the outside. A lot of courses absolutely gorgeous on the inside. Wishing you a lifetime of Adventures and your beautiful bus.
I watched this when it came out and it popped up again and I had forgotten how magnificent the wood is on the inside.: ) peace
I AM SOOOOOO IN LOVE WITH THIS AWESOME AMZ'N BUS CONVERSION....TOTALLY BRILLANT GUYS !!!!!!
All I can say is THANK YOU!!!
What a sweet machine!!!
AMAZING! Just can't get over the beautiful blending of old-world craftsmanship alongside the latest in tech/contemporary.
A beautiful accomplishment. Well done!
What a beauty! Certainly one of the best I’ve ever seen. The vintage colors, and features are outstanding! Well done. Thank you for posting this.
This is 1 of the best bus/house I have ever seen, it has everything and more, Just Gorgeous ❤️
Wow you were not kidding it’s gorgeous
Wow. The cabinetry is amazing. All the attention to detail is impressive. I’d love to see more about the systems onboard and the technical aspects of the renovation process that was used. This is truly inspiring.
This is amazing and so beautiful! Great use of space, lots of storage...I'm so impressed! I love this so much. I can imagine how fun it is to live in it! Love the color of the outside and love the beautiful woods. Great kitchen space as well. Love this bus/home!
An absolute piece of art, beautiful in every sense of the word 👍🏻
You didn't exaggerate when you said this is the most amazing bus conversion. Just superbly done from every aspect. The interior and exterior finishes, the allocation of space, the tankage, the engine and transmission, and the technology. Wow, just WOW!
I wouldnt know how many hours of bus conversions ive been watching in prep for my own, but there is literally this and daylight second.... bravo.... There simply cannot be better, just different versions of a perfect 10...
Wow! Thank you for sharing Ben & Karens bus! It is amazing! Very well thought out-engineered space use! The wood is just beautiful, the sink, so many details, so cool. The electronics are really amazing. You guys take care! God bless!
Y'all are at the Clearwater RV Resort!! We stayed there several times this summer, and still go there to dump when we're boondocking. Fabulous Bus!! And so is y'alls, Technomadia!!
GORGEOUS!!! Beautiful metalwork (dash) and finish/cabinetry work. Love all the automation. One other thing one never sees on any conversions that you forgot to mention---the Recaro!
that is the most beautiful classy historic and yet futuristic conversion i've ever seen and i'm obsessed with these van conversion.. superb 🙌
Finest conversion I've seen to date. Beautiful aesthetics and technology.
The nicest interior I've seen on any bus conversion. The MCM/Art Deco cabinetry is SO SLEEK AND ELEGANT! As is the leather upholstery. The electronics demo was the BEST I EVER SAW! As an installer of residential systems, I really appreciate all the work it took to do such a professional-looking job. The printer drawer was GENIUS, as was the appliance garage. This was also the first bus I could use on the road without having to change anything. Except for maybe the steering. HARD TO BELIEVE THERE WAS ORIGINALLY KNOTTY PINE!
This is absolutely magnificent. I like this, I like this. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful bus and I love all the detail you put into it, really amazing.
Marvelous to see such detail and aesthetic consideration. Modern high end RV companies could learn a lot from this.
love it, your thought process for building your home is amazing as well as choice of wood and design congratulations , its beautiful
Seeing a bus that beautiful makes you want to slap the other manufacturers.
And oh my your build out is beyond amazing.
Just beautiful. Love the paint. Inside is equally gorgeous. Clever key fob. Great video.
This took real talent to envision the whole design. Thanks for the tour.
Wow...this is one of THE NICEST VINTAGE BUS CONVERSIONS I have ever seen !! It's beautiful and I bet you really get the looks ! I can imagine you spend a lot of time talking about the bus to those that ask. I know, we had a special motorcycle with sidecar and every time we stopped, we would answer a lot of questions, plus gotta love those thumbs up when you are traveling !! You've got a real beauty....Thanks for the tour ! Thanks Technomadia for giving us a chance to see this gorgeous bus !
Was it a ural?
Yes Chuck DeHart , it was a ural...dark blue and I loved it so much! Do to health reasons , we had to sell it a couple of years ago and I dearly miss it !
Absolutely Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
I love this bus, I think it’s my favorite! You guys did a fantastic job, you must get loads of complements.
Beautiful bus in and out. You've done such a great job. What a pleasure to see something done with such quality. Thanks for the tour. I'd love to find a 1963 Starliner because what a beautiful shape
This is it!!! The best conversion ever!!! Wayyyy better than the factory made one!
SPEACHLESS!!!...AWESOME UNIT!!!!..A++
SPECTACULAR! Thank you so much for sharing your innovative creativity. I REALLY enjoyed this!
This is the most beautiful bus conversion I've seen, the wood grain and quality of workmanship shows...
I work at a RV repair shop now retired from the sea. and this one gets a thumbs up.. The older the better.. Mine..(yes I bought one) is 40 years old.. GMC 26 foot Royale..
Did you convert it?
This bus is built like the finest vintage yacht. The joiner work is a work of art. It probably would cost a few hundred thousand to do one of these at least!
Awesome bus conversion. Absolutely stunning and classy!!’ Love the wood panels around the bus ad well as the leather furniture. Also like how the computers are set up . One of the most amazing bus conversion I’ve seen. Love it so much❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Beautiful inside and out!! The attention to detail is impressive!
Elegantly beautiful.
It is a pleasure to see good design in a motor home, converted bus or any type of RV. It is sickening to see the mirrors bling and glitz in so many "high end" RVs. Bravo to an well done job.
Well said....so many of the high end RV's remind me of a Vegas casino or cruise ship......ugh!
At first impression outside I through what a fabulous form of the bus, so cool.
But inside I'm blown away of the build quality and can't imagine the planing of layout and wood work. My god..
Without doubt, that is the best bus conversion I have ever seen, well done sir.
VERY NICE !!!
But you know that...😊
I will say this is one of the nicest most futuristic but with the old feel. Nothing probably could compare to it. God bless.💕
Absolutely beautiful One of the nicest RV 's iv ever seen.
There is no way to adequately describe how cool this is. I have now found the inspiration for my dream coach. Plus 1963 is my birth year!
That´s got to be the best conversion I´ve ever seen. Truly.
Oh it’s even more awesome with all the tech hidden inside it.
Too much tech my taste.
*ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. THIS IS WAY 😎 COOL. NICE FREAKING JOB.*
I just fell in love.
A beautiful balance between vintage and high tech upgrades.
Very intuitive, well thought out conversion! This bus was built in my town, and would've been inspected by my grandfather before it left the exit production door on N. Market street here in Loudonville.
The photography business must be very lucrative. The definatly have a gem in that bus for sure!
He looked familiar but couldn't place it then realized who it was: Ben Willmore - pretty well known Photoshop Instructor and Creativelive teacher. I've seen a few of his tutorials and learned quite a bit from him.
I would love to see you do some "where are they now" ramblings updates. It's always interesting to see who is still on the "adventure" whether it is on land or water. .
We actually have them all updated at www.technomadia.com/rambings
@@Technomadia couldn't find an update on the Flxible folks' bus. Is it in your archive under a specific name or title?
This is by far the best bus conversion I've Saw. Well done!!!!
Not only is it the most amazing bus conversion anywhere, but it is the prettiest bus conversion anywhere. Wherever he was when he came up with those colors in that pattern must be the most inspiring place ever. Beautiful!!!
Can you design my RV when I get one. Holy cow! I'm impressed and want it.
Those old Flxible's ( Yes it IS spelled right ) are the best vehicle to convert. They aren't as big as a newer bus, hence easier to drive They are higher than a school bus inside. They are built very well and you can put about any drive train that you want in them. Most had Buick engines originally. I would love to have one.
What a beautiful conversion. I wish I had the time to do a project like this. This is very nice, love the look of it
What an incredible, beautiful conversion. Absolutely impeccable.
Best Home ever!!!!! love The old school along with technology!!!
The roof scoop, the name emblems, the dux butt rear end, the paint style all make it unique.
WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL RESTO-MOD.....YOU FOLKS DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR REWARDS.
This is indeed the nicest bus conversion I have seen since I have been watching these videos.
Gorgeous
Wow, normally I'm not a huge fan of conversions like this, but this is spectacular. If it were mine I'd prefer a 50's style interior though rather than all modern
I mean for me I'd like the blend of old and new, to kind of appreciate the overlooked cool designs from back then and still be modern and have technology like this........... If you didn't get that *Long story short its beautiful*
Best bus indeed nailed it! Style, size, details, vintage and tech come together.
Wow! No wonder it took so long to restore. It gorgeous and so functional. I'm in love. :)
That bus is Awesome! Only thing I would change is nothing! 👍
Beautiful bus love what you did with it! The paint job is spot on. What does it cost to renovate something like that?
Magnificent! Thank you for the tour.
This is beautiful! I love love love the wood and high tech features. Well done!
