    VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
    Phyllis and Steve started traveling on vacation with a truck, staying in Airbnbs and hotels. Their tiny home on wheels in a 2003 International with a DT466 engine. This 28ft bus also has a 12" roof raise and a sweet back deck! When building out their DIY skoolie, they left all of the original windows creating a massive airflow that enhances the wide-open layout.
    The countertops are stunning with live edge wood, and the decor is unique with a collection of items they've accumulated along their travels. After talking about RVs, bus life entered their lives, and they haven't looked back!

    I love this bus! The counters are so long and it just makes it feel really open. I like the idea of the two couches and they look pretty comfortable even though they’re storage couches which I’m not a big fan of. And the back of the bus with the deck and underneath was very very clever and it looks Safe even though the propane is underneath. Great job you guys.

    I love that last bit especially, that they've said "It's a great day" more times in their skoolie-life than in their sticks-and-bricks-life....I totally get that (I bought a shortie in April and am still converting her, but I've already experienced, several times, that amazing feeling of "oh my gosh, THIS is my life now!"). This is a gorgeous conversion and I can only imagine how much work it took to get it all done. It's truly inspiring and thank you for sharing. P.S. I'm gonna go Follow them now too :-)

      I'm guessing they either have a outdoor shower or they turn the sink faucet around out the window use as the showerhead that way they can stand outside using it as the shower that's my best guess. It works but I would rather have a small space for shower and toilet inside even if its just a wet bath. Other then the bathroom situation I love the build it's look very nice and comfy...

    Hi! This is Phyllis, my husband and I are apparently the stinky couple. 😂. We started our build thinking we needed a shower but after living in her we realized that showers were very accessible. We belong to planet fitness and 24 hour fitness. Part of our journey has been to challenge ourselves to stay as active as possible. We are motivated to workout for the shower after. Also they have showers at state parks, RV parks, etc. Once in a while we are off grid and we shower outside of our bus with outdoor shower we should have featured. It’s been the same with our bathroom. Our expectations and our reality living in Sandy has been so different. I promise we shower often.

    I am 45 years old with very little set aside for retirement at this point. I have always been curious about the stock market and have witnessed some people who played the game right and retired early because they used the stock market. When I ask them, most said that they invested very little to start with, but their portfolio grew. I do have a significant amount of capital that is required to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make decent returns

    Looks like 26 and a half feet based on having 9 windows. 10 windows makes 28 1/2 or 29 ft depending on the bus model. For example, a Blue Bird TC2000 with 10 windows is 28 1/2 feet, but a Thomas Saf T Liner with 10 windows is 29 1/2 or even 30 feet. Nice setup though.

    Especially if you can't always get somewhere to wash your body. Maybe some people like going for days without a bath.

    • @freedomdove
      @freedomdove 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lol. I only take a shower once a week and I live in a sticks-and-bricks. There are other ways to stay clean in between. Believe it or not, but people used to go that long back in the day--before the advent of commercials and companies pushing products onto us. It's actually detrimental to the friendly bacteria and the natural oils that live on our skin to constantly wash it away. When you shower every day, it forces your body to make even more sebum, which can lead to an over production of it.
