Girl! I love the vintage stove! That's a treasure! Enjoy all of the journey, the good and bad. I live aboard a sailboat, this boat for 6 years this summer. The first year brings all the challenges but I wouldn't give up the freedom, the knowledge I've gained, the experiences and people we've met. I've always advised young couples looking at an alternative lifestyle to commit to 2 years. Then decide if it's what you both want.
I really hope that when people are buying these old buses that they understand how an air brake system works and that they do a proper air brake inspection before they get on the road. That bus is awesome thanks for sharing
This is a gorgeous home very zen ,peaceful,relaxing beautiful family home,you are a loving couple loved how you designed your family home,excellent setup I just loved how loving you are to each other many blessings to you all god bless you all
You really got a find in that oven... beautiful color that pops... and no tech to screw up... looks brand new...one thing I couldn't live without is a full bathroom ...
When I was growing up, my Dad renovated a scoolie into a camper bus for our family! We had a lot of fun with the travels in it! I must say, I love the colors and calm color palette in your scoolie! Great job!
We've used pastels for years. I recall a This Old House episode where a color for a custom home countertops in Fl was topic for discussion because it was pastel. Lol
He is adorable. She laughs at/with him occasionally, They are a sweet couple. I don’t know what anyone is seeing. Projecting much? I am sure the first year living like this takes a lot of growth, She is very reserved and lovely
I always enjoy the fact that these bus conversions can be made to suit the people who are living in the bus . You need a big kitchen, that's what you do. It's so much better than a generic motorhome made for the public. I like your choices of color, light fixtures and pallet wood. It looks like a comfortable home that fits you both. Thank you for sharing !
Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost my password. I love any tips you can give me!
@Canaan Jeffrey thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
The DT 466 is a proven engine keep the oil and filters changed (including engine water filters, very important) you should never have a problem with it. I have 3 of them and they are great. Also aviation head sets are great in our plane for conversation between pilot so and co pilot. Very nice build looks great love the kitchen!!
You folks have done a real sweet job with your bus it is amazing what you have done. Love it and the way you have set it up and so much thought into what you wanted from this tiny home on wheels proud to see such a nice work on your rig .. Be extra proud of it folks you done great ..
They make welders blankets that welders use to protect an engine or gas tank to keep sparks from penetrate flamable material. You cover engine compartment an most of floor under the dash. An that black material that you see under a hood of a car you can get some of it as well an double up under the engine compartment with spray adhesive an a screw or two will help you on heat an noise. Just trying to help. Thanks it looks good. Happy camping.
Oops my bad, I saw the hasps on the doors. Very nice! Makes my 93 Jamboree look too cookie cutter however it only had 24,700 miles on it $6000. Love to camp & travel. Enjoyed your video.
In this video it feels light and airy. Love the kitchen space too. The shower stall area. Genius. Just Genius in my book. Really love it. If I get lucky enough to do this though I'd extend out that shower curtain into the hallway so I would be able to dress. I'm a all chubby old woman so I need some room to move. I'd bend over to get my feet and my behind would be sticking out against the curtain. Great Questions and great answers. Well done Chris. Just a well put together video, with lots of good answers.
Hmmm. I didn’t pick up any negative vibes from this couple toward each other. They could easily be tired or very aware of wanting a high quality video. In a cute way they remind me of my husband and me. We both love to talk and tend to be anxious to get our thoughts in when the other is talking. I show impatience, while my husband just interrupts me. We are totally devoted, but I’m really annoyed when he does that. Don’t try to judge others whom you don’t know.
Great vid. Love what you did to the bus. Well thought out and executed. Such a great couple. You two blend together so good. I think I recognize the camera mans voice as Chris Of Chris and G.
She's like Bella in Twilight. 😉. Nobody but here walked in her shoes. Nobody but her knows what makes her smile. She's allowed to be, just like I am. Beautiful bus, well organized. Hope I would be able to do half this good. Congratulations.
Very beautiful skoolie build, well arranged stuff and a beautiful couple as well. A bathroom is a sacred place and must always be well enclosed, so I think you should have taken the pain to build a few lockers both left and right over a couple of windows(not too late though) for the groceries while the space used for the latter serves as the bathroom my view.
next time you have to replace your shower curtain, buy the ones with magnets in the sides and hems and then just use it upside down.... and be sure to buy a short handled plunger to dedicate for the 'washing in the tub' when needed... short handled is camper code for 'this is not for the toilet'....and it would store in the shower compartment easily.
I love the soft blue around the shower area and on the lower part of the wall. LOVE, LOVE IT! Not on the green stove, I would have gone with white. I think I've seen the blue in floor tile too.
I love all the colors so soft and soothing and the pop from the oven is perfect! You guys have a beautiful home. I also adore your spouse wearing a shirt that matches your home. Safe travels and wonderful job on your build!
If you didn't block any windows, I'm thinking you're gonna have a lot of sun faded clothes.... In my bus, I put a small toilet, and a rubber floor, and then a drain in the floor, which can be attached to the tank or not. Then you can stand in front of the toilet to shower, and/or sit on the toilet (to wash feet) etc. Aestetically, I think your bus is beautiful. Good move keeping the surfaces light with that green. Pretty!
Love these two! Been following them for a while, but keep missing meeting them in person. If you ever want to do a tour of mine, I'm getting used to mean comments, so I'm ready!
Uncool Dean Yeah, people really need to just focus on what the video is about. Be thankful to the videographer with all the expense, time and effort they've put in, and to the time and effort of the people showing their private home or travel rig. Just because someone shows you something DOES NOT MEAN they are "putting themselves out there" to be picked on or talked about!!! Realize people like that have an internal problem with themselves. A well balanced individual does not behave that way. 🤗
Uncalled for and unfair comments about this couple. Some people don’t feel comfortable speaking on video. These are beautiful people who are getting used to what can be a stressful time. Give them a break.
It's on every skoolie your comment section. I never saw such rudeness and nastiness as I have on these. I don't understand. One family had so many awful comments that I thought if I were them, I'd probably never do another public video again. I so appreciate these people opening their homes up to us and sharing their private space that I would never dream of being mean or negative. Ah well...live and let live....
Shopper of Habitat for Humanity also, great finds. I like the point that if you go to a RV store a specific part is more that re purposing another item to take its place. MONEY$$$$ Saver. Your couture walls look perfect.
But, when you have two fantastic ceiling fans, one sucking air in, one blowing air out? You get a nice windchill breeze in the rig mid afternoon. Worth it.
Nice video. Im not sure if you know about it already or a product like it. But if you use a product call Hushmat, if may help with the engine noise and reduce the heat output. Hushmat is used in car stereo application, and help reduce vibration, contain sound, and insulate. Its thin, as too not add bulk, and pretty easy to install. Just peel and stick. Hope that helps.
You can look into getting a Rugged Radio which comes with person-to-person headsets. They're generally used in the 4wheel drive motorsports where the engines are loud. I hope this information is useful for you and will help you to have longer drives.
Maybe she's normally a shy woman and doing this is out of her comfort zone. I live aboard a sailboat and I know I would be nervous if I was being filmed about my lifestyle. Let's be kind to our sisters.
It isn't difficult to further insulate the engine box so it is a little quieter inside the cabin, and the heat will stay better contained. That DT466 is a great engine. It is an International engine.
I love yr bus! I like it the most of the others I've seen. Light & airy. I am concerned about Winter. Will you place covers on the windows? Even plastic that fits tightly helps. Additionally, insulating drapes. We have a double wide & are FINALLY going to rip out the wall to wall carpet. I'm so allergic to everything. So, we'll insulate the floor, then put in something easy care.☺
Thanq for the video, your have a nice home on wheels, ur bedroom is too enclosed for me, but I'm EXTREMELY claustrophobic. It's a nice home on wheels tho. Stay safe on your travels
Umm great job on the conversion! Truly beautiful. I just couldn't shake the awkward feeling of visiting a couple's place when they've just had an argument. The body language. The lack of looking at each other. They don't seem happy at all. I hope I'm wrong. Good luck to you both.

That shower concept is about the coolest improvised setup I’ve seen in a schoolie, or frankly any other conversion.
You really got a find in that oven... beautiful color that pops... and no tech to screw up... looks brand new...one thing I couldn't live without is a full bathroom ...
Nice build, you have added to my book of ideas for my bus. Thank you. These are informative bus owners.
I LOVE to try the local fare too and experience the cultures of each new locale... AMAZING build out!! LOVE IT!!

Thank you for sharing your skoolie build with us. Great job! Seems like you did a good job of tailoring it to what would work best for you! Very cozy!
I love the skoolie.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Be excited be excited!

I love the stove and your decor , colors and style. It has a bright airy feel.
Good editing! And this is one of the best skoolie conversions I have seen!
My grand daughter really like your videos. She said she wanted to see more ! Me too!
Love the retro green stove! Adds so much character to a generic modern kitchen.
Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb lost my password. I love any tips you can give me!

That little green stove/oven is super cute!!
LOVE IT!!!
I hope the previous stove owner got to enjoy where it lives now. I figure they would appreciate it.
Best one yet!
I love your shower solution. Every space that can be dual purpose should be. SMART!
This is one of the nicer Skoolie conversions I have seen. Well done.
The DT 466 is a proven engine keep the oil and filters changed (including engine water filters, very important) you should never have a problem with it. I have 3 of them and they are great. Also aviation head sets are great in our plane for conversation between pilot so and co pilot.
Very nice build looks great love the kitchen!!
I like that you give pros and cons on what works and things that I hadn’t even considered. Thank you!
You folks have done a real sweet job with your bus it is amazing what you have done. Love it and the way you have set it up and so much thought into what you wanted from this tiny home on wheels proud to see such a nice work on your rig .. Be extra proud of it folks you done great ..
A lime green stove. That's a classic.
Nice bus! It's well thought out and looks very comfortable! Enjoy your travels!
They make welders blankets that welders use to protect an engine or gas tank to keep sparks from penetrate flamable material. You cover engine compartment an most of floor under the dash. An that black material that you see under a hood of a car you can get some of it as well an double up under the engine compartment with spray adhesive an a screw or two will help you on heat an noise.

Thanks for the heads up Harold!
Thanks for the tip, we will look into that!
Oops my bad, I saw the hasps on the doors. Very nice! Makes my 93 Jamboree look too cookie cutter however it only had 24,700 miles on it $6000. Love to camp & travel. Enjoyed your video.
Love the blue walls & the light aqua patterned cushions.
If there were a competition for skoolies, this would win hands down. WELL DONE!
Thank you Tina, we appreciate the kind words 😊

What a great way to do the shower!
Great job! My favorite thing...is that retro lime green stove...what a find!!!

I agree my husband and i are the same.
😂this could be my hubby & I, nice home , loving the green stove🙂
Hahahahaha, kept thinking that the whole time!!!
Great vid. Love what you did to the bus. Well thought out and executed. Such a great couple. You two blend together so good. I think I recognize the camera mans voice as Chris Of Chris and G.
Wow, très joli et moderne. J'adore les couleurs à l'intérieur ! From Montréal, Québec !
I love the stove /oven . Your bus colors are very light & bright from outside to inside. Very nice.
She's like Bella in Twilight. 😉. Nobody but here walked in her shoes. Nobody but her knows what makes her smile. She's allowed to be, just like I am. Beautiful bus, well organized. Hope I would be able to do half this good. Congratulations.
Very beautiful skoolie build, well arranged stuff and a beautiful couple as well. A bathroom is a sacred place and must always be well enclosed, so I think you should have taken the pain to build a few lockers both left and right over a couple of windows(not too late though) for the groceries while the space used for the latter serves as the bathroom my view.
Nice video..cute couple.. i just think they feel uncomfortable being on camera. U guys have a great place 😊
next time you have to replace your shower curtain, buy the ones with magnets in the sides and hems and then just use it upside down.... and be sure to buy a short handled plunger to dedicate for the 'washing in the tub' when needed... short handled is camper code for 'this is not for the toilet'....and it would store in the shower compartment easily.
Great ideas! Thank you deemail100
I love the soft blue around the shower area and on the lower part of the wall. LOVE, LOVE IT! Not on the green stove, I would have gone with white. I think I've seen the blue in floor tile too.
That was a really great idea filming this next to a busy road. Good planning.
Green oven looks great!! Y'all did a great job. I agree about ceiling. Why remove a perfectly good, strong ceiling? Hey Chris. Great video skills!
I am planning to build a school bus or a 3500 ram van, but definitely my bathroom is one thing that I must have
great job, unlike other buses that I want to step out the moment the tour starts.
I believe the doors on the refrigerator/freezer may be reversible for easier access from the kitchen
Looks great! I especially love the green stove. Thanks for sharing.
Love the shower idea!! I have yet to see anyone use a utility sink as a showering basin. It's hidden and the definition of dual functioning space!
I only saw the intro and knew this was gona be good i immediatly clicked like them resumed
I love all the colors so soft and soothing and the pop from the oven is perfect! You guys have a beautiful home. I also adore your spouse wearing a shirt that matches your home. Safe travels and wonderful job on your build!

afringedweller the windows are tinted and we sprayed the closets with fogging glass. Good idea with your toilet shower combo!
excellent floor plan....love the shower and the kitchen!
You have a beautiful home and it looks fabulous...well done xxx
Very thorough tour, thank you! Great build :)
Love these two! Been following them for a while, but keep missing meeting them in person.
If you ever want to do a tour of mine, I'm getting used to mean comments, so I'm ready!
I like your spirit ! Wishing you all nice comments, because you deserve them :-D
Uncool Dean

They have the perfect balance of form and function in this conversion.
Very cute oven ..its all very open and fresh looking ..blessings to you both on your travels
Uncalled for and unfair comments about this couple. Some people don’t feel comfortable speaking on video. These are beautiful people who are getting used to what can be a stressful time. Give them a break.

Should have made the passenger driving seat on a swival that way it could also be used as part of your living space
great tour - i think she is just quite shy- its odd having show your hime and they did it all themselves..lovely bus
Man that is a perfect bus for a single person got dam I would love to have that.
Fantastic! So much better than many ❤
Shopper of Habitat for Humanity also, great finds. I like the point that if you go to a RV store a specific part is more that re purposing another item to take its place. MONEY$$$$ Saver. Your couture walls look perfect.
Love the bus!! Very well thought out!! Enjoy your journey!!😊
"Free Roaming" says it all. Safe & happy travels.
Thank you Dean H !
You look like a beautiful couple. Great job.👍🏼
I absolutely love your green stove/oven! Great find!
Love everything about this
Very nice.. it would be great to see your bus. Thanks for the tour and ideas.
But, when you have two fantastic ceiling fans, one sucking air in, one blowing air out? You get a nice windchill breeze in the rig mid afternoon. Worth it.

This is absolutely amazing!!!!
The sink set-up is perfect
so beautiful and independent i like you two!
Beautiful bus guys. Well done. Stay safe
Outstanding work you folks have done.👍👍
Good job! Love the storage space and kitchen.
I would live in this one..👌🏿, love it
Hi Guys! I like the kitchen! Quick suggestion for the refrigerator, you can spray it green to match the stove/oven!! That would tied in well!!
Gorgeous conversion! Really beautiful home you both have! Excellent job! 💜
Fix the front AC BEFORE it gets hot. The prices and wait times go up drastically with demand.
You can look into getting a Rugged Radio which comes with person-to-person headsets. They're generally used in the 4wheel drive motorsports where the engines are loud. I hope this information is useful for you and will help you to have longer drives.
Love the little green range!
Beautiful conversion!
Ol girl is not feeling it! She's like I just want to not be doing this!
April Davis I was thinking the exact same thing. It looks like they have seen better days.
April Davis e
I was wondering how hot it was wherever they were. Maybe it was so hot they were both feeling weary.
Maybe she's normally a shy woman and doing this is out of her comfort zone. I live aboard a sailboat and I know I would be nervous if I was being filmed about my lifestyle. Let's be kind to our sisters.
Didn't see that, will watch again.
green and gray are the best colors!
Your home is so beautiful!!
You Guys are Really Amazing !!! Thanks for the Video !!
At 10:32 your Lady is trying to get a word in. Great conversion guys!
It isn't difficult to further insulate the engine box so it is a little quieter inside the cabin, and the heat will stay better contained. That DT466 is a great engine. It is an International engine.

They should look in to getting a moped for her to drive. I'm short too, and a moped I think would be ideal.
Or scooter or electric bike.
great looking bus, my biggest decision was to either have a garage/storage at the back or not.
Thanq for the video, your have a nice home on wheels, ur bedroom is too enclosed for me, but I'm EXTREMELY claustrophobic. It's a nice home on wheels tho.
Stay safe on your travels
Love the large kitchen. Bravo.
exceptionally nice build... tyfs enjoy!
You can mark it each gallon mark it you have a beautiful home God bless happy travels
Such a fantastik bus.good times you have .love from Greece
Thanks for watching!
Umm great job on the conversion! Truly beautiful. I just couldn't shake the awkward feeling of visiting a couple's place when they've just had an argument. The body language. The lack of looking at each other. They don't seem happy at all. I hope I'm wrong. Good luck to you both.
Maggie May thank you. I promise you we’re happy 😊 just a little nervous and awkward in front of the camera
Yes! I got the same vibe! Haha
Her face every time he says he cooks! 😂😂😂
