VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
These two organically fell into the skoolie life after buying a short bus just to visit their daughter and quickly fell in love with the freedom. Travis and Michelle have significantly impacted the world of tiny homes on wheels. It started with a small idea of gathering friends with buses and has grown to an annual meetup for hundreds of rigs!
Their most recent tiny home is this 1993 Thomas International that's been awesomely modified to fit a jeep on the back! The bright blue exterior matches the vibrant and happy personalities of this adorable couple living tiny! Because they took off the back 8ft of the bus, they've maximized the storage use on the interior with several creative hacks. There's a murphy bed, full kitchen, TV, and an outdoor shower.

I love these type of bus builds where there is creativity and character! So many buses/vans are starting to look the same white on white on white and look too "perfect". This bus checks all the boxes & looks so homey & cosy. Great job with this bus build. LOVE the Back door color and & flower stain glass are a great accent statement! Happy Travels to you both!! 🛣🏞🗺🚎
I bought a bus had it a year already, not getting very far . Between work , aging parents. I like the idea of ur bed.
Good luck with your bus. Hope to see you on the road or at an event one day.
I started my shuttle bus build two years ago. Since then I've injured my back and have been diagnosed with Arachnoiditis. It's taken me this long to accumulate everything needed for the build, now I need to save up to pay someone to do the work for me. I think I've watched every bus tour on TH-cam, this one made me cry because like he said...... "If this lifestyle interests you, do it now. Before your knees and your back goes" I feel like I'll never get this done, and it's already too late.
What part of the country do you live? Have you ever heard of Home On Wheels Alliance?
Try home on wheel alliance or cheap rv living. They often have events helping others with their builds
@@warrenscorner I'm near Toronto Ontario. I don't think we have anything like that here.
This bus is great. Convenience and comfort. You've done a wonderful job.
I Love your bus build. The 60's and 70's motif is so cool. You have made it very homey.
Thank you for sharing your bus AND your story. Hope to see you in the future at a swarm meet. God bless your travels!
Adorable! So fun! Hopefully soon, I, too, will be on the road!! Enjoy!!
The stained glass is way cool.
There aren’t many builds that say where they put their laundry. Great build
Great bus, beautiful couple!
Very nice bus you guys did a nice job and everything you need and want, thanks ,happy and healthy travels,
Love y'all!! I'm so happy I met y'all and joined the Swarm family
It is amazing 👍
A nice family and a happy home on wheels 🙋🚌
One of the great things about a bus build, you can build it how you want to, how it suits you and your life style. Great job on your bus build, it looks great… One day I will be building a tiny home on wheels to live in. I’ve always wanted to go explore places I’ve never been before.
Happy and safe travels to you and yours.💟🙂
Contract work is ideal for travelers 👍
Loving the Jeeps!
Cool set up. Well done.
Very unique.
Love this! ☺️
Saw this rig down in Louisiana at St Bernard St Park over the Christmas Holiday last year. Looked cool. Would have stopped and chatted (we're Jeepers), but never saw them even though their Jeeps were there.
Dang! Sorry we missed you. Next time you see us knock on the door. We love meeting people!
My concern is always how the insulation of any tiny home. Anyone recommend a type that's great for snowy winters ? I prefer the 4 seasons lol 😆 I love the Murphy bed in every home I've seen. Love your back door with the glass really pretty feature.
Our bus has been insulated to face all weather.
You got a fantastic deal on the price of that bus. I love your toilet area. most toilets are so small like for 100 lb woman fits it. This one is for a BBW. a big beautiful woman. I love everything you have here. keep going, keep striving, and don't let nobody tell you what to do. God bless you two.
Your sign speaks volumes;
“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice, and be glad in it.” Psalms 118:24
First Question in the morning, Hauling or Hauler? Steve's wife asked Hunk or Hunker Down? Ya'll ask these important Questions ! Proper English, what should I tell the Aliens? This is a wonderful build in our wonderful world. Thank you Sammy Davis ! Thank you the Murphy Family for this really nice build. I'll trade my mobile home. Yea, the bed in a school bus, on wheels with an engine.
Nice built!
I enjoyed your video and I like your bus.
Very nice but I would need a private bathroom. But good job!
Really liked this. Shower had curtain? No one has ever bothered you. Vandalized or stolen things. What milesper gallon you get?
good
I like the size of the fridge & tv & the murphy bed. I like the idea that you have a propane stovetop & oven; which uses very little propane.I like the back door with the stained glass window. I would want a double sink; not sure how people rinse their dishes with just 1 sink. But it works for you, so that's the main thing. Do you have 2 water tanks? I thought the wife said 20 gal; the husband said 50 gal. Nice, interesting couple; no youtube channel? Will look you up on instagram. Thanks! Do you always have to drive separately then...hauling 1 jeep and driving the other one? Love the back decks' capability of hauling another vehicle. I think I'd want solar panels instead of a generator.
Hi Donna. We have 55 gallons of fresh water. The 20lb is the size of our propane tank. We tow bar the 2nd jeep behind the bus. We have a youtube channel for our Jeep trailriding that channel is called Bending Jeeps. When living tiny and having a limited amount of water we no longer wash dishes with the fill 2 sinks method. I wet the dishes, Wash them all with a wet soapy sponge and then rinse them all. Thank you for all of the compliments. Have a great day.
Silly murphy bed with those poles sticking out which can poke someone's eye out? 🤪
😂
They aren't pointy. You are honestly more likely to bump your noggin one time. But they are out of the way and not really a threat. How did you do yours? We are always looking for good ideas and we are open to change.
I would lose an eye on the bed legs.
I was Sooooo thinking the Same Thing!!!!! I Would Die!!! 😉
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😄😄 I was thinking I'd hit those every time I walked past
The legs don't stick out past the couch so unless you regularly walk on your furniture it wouldn't be a problem.
@@michellemattson6884 Llmmaaooo Aayyoo. 😂
🔥🔥
It won't kill Travis to sit down to use the toilet, the alternative is a lot worse? 🤢
😂I don't even want to imagine what you think goes on🤣🤣🤣
What are the dark bands across the ceiling?
The dark bands are just paint camouflaging where the screws are holding the ceiling panels up. Purely decorative.
How tall can a refrigerator grow ?
?
Thanks for sharing your bus with us today.
With such a large space inside the bus, I would have at least expected an enclosed space for the toilet, if not the shower. Like if your kid is visiting and needs to use the toilet? Also, pooping just a few feet from the kitchen is undesirable.
The granite-look counter (Corian?) is attractive on its own but seems out of place on this bus because it is too modern and streamlined.
The metal walls and ceiling are wonderful because of all you can do with magnets to hang and secure things.
Where does the second Jeep go when you travel? How do you haul it?
The camera adds 10 pounds
c - kick everyone out of the bus and do your business.
When were you in the 11th ACR?
That's a different way of towing a vehicle. My question is why not just add a trailer hitch and tow the Jeep on a trailer or flat tow it
We wanted to bring both of our Jeeps and not just one
Does these legs on the bed bother any thing sticking out?
I'm wondering why the trash and laundry couldn't go outside on this bus
Yeah, but do u really wanna go outside the bus every time u change or need to throw something away?
Good thought though.
Bears. And it looks bad and my Mom taught me not to air my dirty laundry. 😂
@@michellemattson6884 🤣
Huh
I love how the patriotic totally ignore the US flag code…
The base of the couch is blue fabric with white stars. 100’s of stars. The pillows are red with white stripes. Patriotic colors. Never close to being a flag.
Loving the Jeeps!
