The bus is even more lovely in person Kyle. Personality and craftsmanship are abundant. If you get a chance to see the bus and meet Kyle in person you shouldn’t hesitate. They are both true gems.
Very kind offering to share your expertise. Especially seeing as this must be the most beautiful bus I've ever seen (& I see a lot). Love the message about working on ourselves. Always important stay present in the adventure.
For the record I applaud him re-using the wood. But please please please folks do not just go out and buy old growth wood... especially redwood. Even if you have the money for it. Old growth means diverse and thriving ecosystems. And if someone is telling you it is just upcycled or re-used, make sure you look into it.
@@kandykaye9981 I never said otherwise :) But cutting down old growth forest destroys diversity and habitats. It is like skinning living animals to get their fur. The lumber industry used to cut down old growth, but rarely do anymore due to regulations and such. Which is a good thing. There are plenty of 'tree farms' where you can get new wood. Or you can do like he did and find sources of old growth that is upcycling or re-using the wood that was already cut down and been used already.
Couldn’t have said it better ~ essentially boycott buying old growth wood new at every turn, destroy any demand for the industry whatsoever it’s abhorrent and unethical, even immoral. It destroys the lungs of the earth and threatens delicate bio diversity and dwindling ecosystems we desperately need to reverse the damage done to the earths forests and not speed it up!!
I like the couch in the bedroom. The only change I would make is putting the refrigerator under the kitchen counter and then build a dinette in that area up front. Then, there's a place not only for food prep but to entertain guests. Then use the couch in the bedroom when you're alone. Like everyone else, I love the wood, it's gorgeous!
Gorgeous bus! Redwood is so beautiful, and it makes that bus really feel warm and inviting. The seats in the back isn't my fav design, I like the bed totally separated. But that design works for them and that's what matters.
The only thing i am wondering about is the space from the back of the bus and the wheels won’t the weight distribution be unsafe if weight is at the back 🤔
Nice build. I would have like to see the seating in the front area of your bus. I would have opted to not have the freezer so that you could have seating. Thanks for sharing.
I wonder what the weight distribution is with having the kitchen, the bathroom with all of that tile, and the couch with storage all on the same side of the bus..
Really nice work. I love the beautiful redwood. We are FTers in a 1999 MH who boondock most of the time with a 95-gallon water tank, using water at about the same rate you do. We used to carry 3, 5-gallon water jugs in our little Chevy Cobalt toad but have recently purchased a 65-gallon water bladder to ensure we are able to make the 14-day FS and BLM limit with water to spare. Man, you carry a table saw with you? I'm impressed. Still, it's tough working on your home while boondocking, isn't it? We built our big solar system off-grid too. The hardest part was lifting 8 huge 550-watt panels onto the roof. Building the liftable array on the side of our MH was challenging too. My wife came up with some great ideas, but I ended up doing all the heavy lifting, which was not an easy task for a 67 yr. old, out of shape dude. I can't imagine raising your entire roof by yourself. Kudos! Those wicker cabinet door material is an ideal lightweight, airy and stylish solution. We're able to run our EG-4 28.5 Seer-2 mini-split 24/7 on our 16.4kwh 48v battery. In fact, we have enough solar to run both our A/Cs, appliances, fridge, etc. during the day while charging our batteries at the same time. Shading your heat pump is a great idea. Our entire 35 ft. Class A is shaded by our 4,400w array racked 15" off our roof, but we never thought to shade our mini split, which is mounted up top, like yours, but on the driver's side opposite our ladder. We couldn't mount it on our back wall like you did, as ours isn't strong enough, so we hung it off the roof. We mounted a 5,000w Sungold Power all-in-one inverter/charge controller/charger, similar to your Growatt, on our bedroom wall. This puts it close to our 48v 16s battery that we built from 16, 320ah prismatic cells which are under our bed too. We also have a 7.1kwh, 560ah 12v battery made with 8, 280ah cells in an insulated, conditioned space under our entry steps, charged by a 620w liftable array on the side, shading our bedroom window. Congrats on a sweet build. Take care, Chip & Cindy
I’d be really curious to hear about the mechanicals on the bus? Having been abandoned in the woods with group things growing through it what was the engine transmission like didn’t appear that he put any money into it the mechanicals according to his financial breakdown so I’m just being super nosy

I love that the bathroom is so large. Most bathroom buses are small.
This bus feel like home, Beautiful craftsmanship

Seriously? This is beautiful and amazing.

This is a really great idea!

This is a gorgeous renovated bus, very spacious.
This must be one of the most beautiful bus conversion I've ever seen
Love the way that you did the bus. That redwood is very complimentary
Wow!! All that redwood!!! Stunning is right!!! Gorgeous!!! Many great ideas. Fine craftsmanship! Wondering where the passenger sits (with a seatbelt).

Hi from Depoe Bay Or
I’d be really curious to hear about the mechanicals on the bus? Having been abandoned in the woods with group things growing through it what was the engine transmission like didn’t appear that he put any money into it the mechanicals according to his financial breakdown so I’m just being super nosy
A friend told me they had some government buses selling for $300
In my island.
Which os $150US
And am early also
What has engine?
Seems no place for passenger to sit while the bus being driven??? Couch in bedroom doesn't seem convenient.
YAY I was so lucky to be the first to like 👍
No one cares if you're first.
You should aim higher in life bro
🫶🏻
My boy you've got a bug problem.
I really like these camper buses turned into homes on wheels
like this the inside is really awesome and a great place to live
thank you.🇺🇲🚌🚐🇺🇲
