In our quest for seeking out a more healthy and sustainable lifestyle, we made a plan that includes zero waste living, tiny home living and full-time travel. We considered buying an RV, looked at trailers and airstreams but settled on doing a bus conversion for our off-the-grid, tiny house on wheels. We bought a 1996 MCI 102 D3 coach bus and with the Bus Demolition and Interior Shell complete, we turned it into our Tiny Home on Wheels and are now traveling!

I think many of us are feeling the desire to leave the system of control we've been living in... You both are highly creative people and I have no doubt you can find your balance. 🙏
as we meet nomads down the road there is definitely a common thread. Thanks for your support Faith Renewed.
Wish I had the perfect answer for you, but all I can think of is…..maybe you need to reduce the number of videos you post to every other week. It will make me sad, but I’ve often wondered how much you miss out on by always filming so we can see your adventures. Personally, I forget my camera when I’m truly in the moment and loving what I’m doing. But others absolutely love being cameraman. Perhaps you fall into this category. All I’m saying is that I applaud you for all you do but will support you with any decision you make that will help make you whole.
Thank you for the love and support Gayla! We will be making some small changes to our scheduling to allow time for our passion projects and down time (to be in the moment). We'll still be here as we love making these videos
Resetting is good.
You both need to just go at flip of coin to the direction you want to go IE north south east or west and take your time injoy being free with each other, you think about it you both are having your own time.
And you will have your ups and downs who don't as long as you have each other that is all it counts
Perhaps you might want to consider putting shades on those two original bus windows until they can be replaced. At least it would help with the heat.
You Guy’s are Gonna Be Fine. Just Play it By Ear. Enjoy Each Other and Have Fun ❤Don’t Put So Much Pressure On Yourself. Life is Way To Short. Stay Safe and Healthy and Keep Your Energy High and positive attitude and Never forget, Your Faith 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙋♀️
Thanks Michele
Awesome video ❤ ❤ ❤
Thank you! We are glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for the reflective moment, Don , I am about to finish work after 51 years. I resonate with your comment , ‘who am I now after building the bus…. ‘ for me it’s who am I after work . I am looking forward to that discovery and beginning another chapter in the book of life… can’t wait to see what your next chapter is like… enjoy 😊
Wonderful!
Hello from Brazil
Oh Mela. Walk into your shower, turn the water on. WaLa. You are next to the water. LOL 🤣
for 30 seconds then you have to turn the shower off again 🤣
I spent my adult life flying helicopters. Summers were a write off since that is fire season. Camping in Canada at 40 below in winter is not much fun. I have found a new career for the time being. I got the 45 foot bus conversion. The problem is how to enjoy it. I am not the kind of person who can just sell my house and spend the next 20 years travelling in my bus. I wish I was. I have a fear to get old and not have a home to fall back on. I am still a slave to money and working but not to the extent I was 20 years ago. At least now I can plan time off and have some summer vacation. Some of the things you said struck home to me. How can some people survive on so little. Fuel, camping fees, repairs, insurance, etc, etc is not even close to free.
Gosh. I’m starting to realize just how similar our styles, humor, and overall philosophies are. This video hit the feels. I feel the connection deeply.
Cheers friends

I know you know ❤️
Slow down and take a breath and enjoy your life and love where you are anyway love you guys thank you for showing the people the world that can not go there so thank you god bless love you
The shades look marvelous. they don't spoil your views at all. I understand you wanting some alone time. these past couple of months you have been with a lot of people. (not that there's anything wrong with it ) but I think you built the bus to have your own journey, you have met some wonderful people but you need to have your own space to do what you want. I hope you find the balance you need
There is a time for everything, right?! Thank you we do love our new shades
Wow, those shades look great and I bet they keep the bus cooler with still being able to see that awesome view. Safe travels.
Yes they do! Thanks Big Ron

Lol cleaning videos :) ha ha thank you for all the love Bonnie! We won't stop making videos, we may just take breaks here and there to allow time for our passion projects to find the balance we need in our lives.
Did you see the little humming bird at about 9:50 hovering around your doorway?
Yeah! We have a hummingbird feeder now! We all love it :)
Oh truth of our journeys! Thank you for this. We are feeling that slow down and the continued adjustment. Funny how we says two years was the plan and now it’s a whole new story.
So true! Once you start your world opens up in ways you could never have understood before :)
FROM MOROCCO AGADIR NICE DO IT
BY HAPPY 🥰😘🥳🤠
I've 4X4'd up mountains to "discover" some old ghost town and discovered someone in a Cadillac got their before me!
😲
Just let things happen and take time to see new ways of living. ❤
Every couple needs a little break now n then been married 36 years on February 27 n together 41 . I take a one-week vacation every year absence makes a heart grow fonder I believe this You two are a great couple and will work out your differences It's hard being together 24/7 Mucho love from your friend in Michigan Tam 💜💜💜💜
Happy Anniversary to you two :)
Very cool place you got there, I really enjoy how open & honest you guys are, I would say though not having goals with planned time management while providing freedom takes away from the satisfaction of achieving your goals and in my case leads to procrastination & aimlessness, one day in sheer frustration at my lack of perceived progress on my build I was chastising myself for failing to achieve what I wanted done for the week, my wife pointed out to me that it's not even a year since we purchased the bus and she bought up the to do list on the computer & said browse through all the completed tasks, then came the realization that the build it's self was around 70% complete and in actual fact I was ahead of my own schedule! I think you guys are living the dream and all you need is a little fine tuning, you are a team and a great one at that, take a look back at all you have achieved and just live off that satisfaction for a bit, take care & stay safe.
Congratulations on getting so far along on your build. Different people need different things at different times of their lives. Don and I are no strangers to recreating ourselves again and again. One of the reasons I think we work so well together. We have the freedom right now to allow ourselves the time to recreate ourselves slowly and at our pace. It is a freedom we are now able to embrace. Thanks for your support :)
Alone time is very important to me. I've been with my partner for 20 years, and as much as I love her, me personally I need "me" time. We found our balance I guess lol Enjoy, and thanks again for the video.
Love that!
Hi guys those shades looks great made a real difference now you can enjoy the scenery while having your privacy stay blessed and safe
Yes! Thank you!
I completely understand how you are feeling.
We finished our build. Plan to live in bus and keep working and travel occassionally.
I would leave and hit the road and figure things out as we go, as we do not have jobs that can work remotely. He, however, is determined to make it to retirement (4 yrs) and then build a shed to home conversion. We've only taken 1 trip it was a 13 hr drive each way. Had an unexpected death in the immediate family and had to return quickly and sooner than expected. I feel that trip ruined his out look on travel completely.
oh no, I hope you are able to try another trip some time and have a different experience. The road is always so different each time. But also, full time travel isn't right for everyone. Hope you find a balance you both enjoy too!
Great video!!
Thanks JRod :)
👍👍
02:40 Don can build a bus, but can't find the GPS mute button.
lol
Maybe I missed it in the video, you passed on imperial dam, so where was the water site you stayed at in the video?
Mittry Lake
@@Rehabit8 thank you!
How do you Bath your cats?
we don't. They are self bathing :)
With all that's going on in the world have you considered getting in tune with your creator
great point
Don, stop in big cities where you can teach computer use to seniors or young people, there is a need given all the social accounts out there.
