A little About Us: "We are a 'think outside of the box' couple who find ways to create our big dreams with very little money. We built a floating river house, turned a chevy van into a camper, and are currently converting a shuttle bus into a tiny house. Follow along as we build, travel and play!
I work for the company that manufactures these. Not Starcraft, but one of their sister companies. It's awesome to see how these units can be repurposed. Definitely transformed the whole bus, great job and thanks for sharing!
We are in the thinking process of building our shuttle and your videos are inspiring.
I loved this "quick and dirty" video! Your camper turned out so cute!
I hadn't noticed the "ugly" green paint and went back to see it and while green is my favorite color, I agree the yellow looks much nicer! The green somehow made it look dated while the yellow feels fresh and brings so much light into the room! I'm sure the lighter color helps make the space feel larger during the inevitable rainy days, but no matter the weather or time of day it looks warm and welcoming! It's amazing what a bit of paint can accomplish, isn't it?
Your husband is so handy! His work looks so professional-- especially the black water tank and kitchen counter. Please let him know another stranger on the internet admires his work, haha! Seriously, well done! I love your kitchen! And your clever bathroom/closet door! And the really safe "overbuilt" passenger seat with seat belt.
I think the storage drawers are a really clever solution: they look nice with the custom built framing around them and the weight reduction surely helps gas mileage! I read in another comment that you've found them a little frustrating as they're so lightweight. Now that you've been using them for awhile is their convenience worth the hassle they cause or were new drawers your first necessary upgrade?
Thank you for sharing such an excellent overview video! You shared enough information to give us a good idea of how y'all accomplished everything and showed off the finished project in a reasonable length of time and even spoiled us by telling us y'all had more in depth videos showing how you accomplished the trickier parts. Thank you again and well done!
Love the simplicity of it all. The themed curtain was a nice touch 👍and the curved counter was exactly what I’m goin for thanks for sharing❤️
I know this is an old video, but I really like the kitchen set up! That U-shaped counter is what I’ve been playing with in my head but you’re the first bus I’ve seen actually use it
Thank you so much for watching and I'm really glad you liked it. I have really enjoyed the extra room and I think it breaks it up to feel like two spaces instead of one big box. :)
Wow your voice is enchanting! You should narrate "how to" vids on youtube on every subject.
That’s one of the homeliest conversions I seen, it’s so homely and lovely x
Love your no-edited-video. Raw & honest. Great transformation!!
I'm constantly amazed by the creativity of these diy conversions. Great job! You've given me lots of ideas. I'm definitely going to have a shower though. Please keep the videos coming.
Love your soothing voice. So needed right now. Love your design! Closet/toilet rooms ingenious. Will you share the cost of the bus & build. Exactly what I want to do. 71 and single, if not now when!?!. Some other ideas for the rest of the bus. Cedar wall with hidden sliding door. Deep stainless steel kitchen sink. Any way. Great, Great build. KEEP TALKING!!!
Beautiful ❤ love it , the bus and the window ❤ nice voice so peaceful ❤ THANKS FOR SHARING ! GOOD JOB !
Thank you so much!! It means a lot that you took the time to watch and comment.
I love all the detail in this vid and your voice is so calm. You all are awesome. Thanks for all the great tips
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching!
I just love how honestly naive the editing is. It's very cute.
Thank you, I think... LOL Seriously, thank you so much for watching.
For the size of the vehicle chosen you did a very good job in incorporating all your needs and still keeping it quite spacious. It isn't cluttered, feels homey and is a good example for what can be done with proper planning in what appears to have been done within a reasonable budget.
Good luck and enjoy!
Good job on hiding that vent pipe in the bathroom! Great job on this build! How awesome knowing you did this yourselves!! (Jane from SC) Enjoy every minute!❤️🙏
I love the process including the temporary cabinets. Some videos make the process daunting with the illusion of perfection. Kudos
Thank you for not drawing out unnecessary details (how to drive a screw). That, plus the rest of your work made this an excellent video.
Your voice so friendly and cute. I really enjoyed it throughout the video.
So easy to listen to her!!
I was thinking the same thing! I thought I wish I could be her friend because she sounded so kind and calming. :)
Thank you so much for this video! I've been looking at a shuttle bus for possible purchase/renovation. Very helpful and you give me hope that it's not that difficult to do. Now, if I could get my hubby on board with working on one ....lol. I recently saw a regular pull-behind camper that a guy renovated to have a jacuzzi tub and full size toilet in the bath!
Wow. What a nice conversion!!! I'll start working on mine soon (a shuttle bus with a 7.3 diesel). I can't wait. Now I'm looking for ideas, and this is a really good one to inspire me!!!! Tks for the video.
i love how you used the plastic cabinets! saves a lot of money and weight!💜
Thanks! We are learning that they don't hold a lot of weight. Clothes, light dishes, food are ok. Lots of cans, tools, ect and they don't want to open.
Dreaming Big SC Hmmm... Good to know.
Great job! I am thinking about buying one of these, and you've given me a whole different perspective on how to convert it from what I have been thinking.
Personally, I see plenty of opportunity to have both storage *and* a shower, but I not only don't mind the idea of covering up some of the windows, I think I'd actually *want* to.
very nice job clean and simple, good luck on the road, looking forward for more tall tales from you experiences
I love this!! So helpful and informative too. I’m a solo female (hopefully soon to be) traveller, so I love that this is a build that looks doable for me!
Absolutely, you can totally do it!!
Great Job !!! You can always add an outdoor solar shower if you choose to boondock. Hope you make some great memories. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks!
Very nice comment. We need more of those
I literally had to stop immediately after the intro and spread some love. Amazing!! Highest praise to the creative minds that made it happen. It's different and extremely appealing. I'm hooked. I subscribed before I wrote this comment, and all I've seen is the intro. BRAVO!
Thank you so much. That means a lot!
I love it. It's a realistic build. I have a bus waiting, ideas, but not started. Everything on YT is so "perfect" aka expensive/hard for no ability to build. This is workable. Thanks for the video. ☺
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I hope I get to see what you do with your bus!
Really enjoyed this video - you joked about it being all over the place but I actually loved that - you gave highlights with enough detail, but didn’t drag on! LOL. It was a great overview. Thank you, I’ll be watching your other posts.
I love your style of video... thank you for being informative and not boring
One of my favourite builds.. so cool.. simple and elegant..
Love this ❤️. It feels so open. I'm redoing a travel trailer, from the ground up and love how you designed the kitchen. I'm thinking this might be something to look at for my kitchen. I found a great deal for my bathroom. On market place I found a wet shower that was pulled out of a truck camper for $75. New sub!
What a great find!! I would love to see how it turns out.
Excellent build. Couple things I did differently on my cube van build out was no black water tank. Made and use a composting toilet. Also built in a shower. No gray water tank either. Use all natural, biodegradable soap and shampoo. Thanks. Wish you safe travels.
This is really really good. I've wondered how you could transform a little short bus. Love it!!!
Love your voice and you're very good at narrating. I could listen to you all day :)
I have been watchin a lot of these vids "A LOT" an u know this is prolly one of the coolest one's I've seen so far top 5 for sure
Thank you so much! We really appreciate that.
This bus is a total masterpiece. An awesome job.
such a great bus build. Its cute and simple....something the everyday person would love to have as a weekend gateway..
Thank you so much.
I had one virtually identical and spent a year traveling the country. Best year I ever had.
Beautiful job. I like the windows! Big enough to have a cubicle shower/toilet!
You did a great job creating this video, as far as I can see-no need to apologize. It is concise, yet detailed enough to see how it was done. It's terrible when you are watching a video that is 20 minutes long when its filled with extraneous footage that is unneccessary . nice job !
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. I am so glad that you liked it.
Beautiful! You guys did a really awesome job! Happy travels.
Thank you. Excellent narration and great how-to without being too long.
Terrific job, and great explanations, I'm just getting ready to do over a 94 Gulfstream Ford 24 Passenger Shuttle Bus, 29 ft long, with Tag Axle. --- but it has what I wanted!!! 2 regular doors on the cab and the fold out door is just in back of the passenger seat. Thanks for a great video!
This is exactly the vehicle I want. All the electrical stuff goes over my head! I feel like a student again trying to research and learn how to diy! Fantastic video. Thank you both!!
Great video, great build and you are a pleasure listening to!
Absolutely beautiful ❤. I'm working on my escape from the matrix to a nomadic lifestyle. Thanks for the video and idea's!
No insulation needs it for many reasons
The only two words to describe your build is Magnifique and Magnificent.
I thumbs up just because of your sweet bubbly personality ❣️
Aww, thank you.
I agree. Very nice job. I would have preferred a shower, even a tiny one on the shuttle bus/rv. I know that you can also spruce up and clean up just by dipping a washcloth in a sink with a little soap.
What a great little home on wheels. This would be heaven for so many people living without a home. I think there should be a law that states if you are employed full or part time or enrolled in school you are legally allowed to park a vehicle home dwelling in the city where you earn income and pay taxes so long as you deal with any trash and waste and it's not parked on private property without permission. We could greatly reduce homelessness and address the lack of affordable housing for people who are regular wage earners or students on a limited budget.
Love that idea. 👍
Awesome!! I love your video! We are heading for retirement and thinking of buying one of these passes. You guys did amazing job.
This to me is the best vehicle to use. It turned out really nice really nice.
Very nice .I see these buses for sale all the time and you certainly have me alot of ideas .and I love your bus
So cool to see all the work you did. Hoping someday you'll return with more videos... : )
Fantastic. Love the bus and the presentation was wonderful. Good job.
Great job. The wrap around kitchen counter is great.
Hello Beautiful your smile is priceless😍
good video and you look like a great couple. Enjoy the bus.
This bus/tiny home is absolutely FANTASTIC!! I especi ally admire the way you worked with (&disguised) those plastic drawers; that IS something i will do in mine...the seight savedhas got to be phenominal, and in your examplr, tastefully disguised...WELL DONE; I admire this!! 😃🙃👣
Thank you so much!! It means a lot that you took the time to watch and comment.
I love the way she did this video. So informative.
Beautifully done, simple and practical.
Thank you so much!
Good job guys! Happy travels!
Thank you so much!
Very pretty. You were right about the yellow paint.
That was a very good video. I would think about one. But I can’t do all that stuff. 👌 to you and your wonderful husband for knowing how to do all this. Stay safe. And have a lot of fun. 👍💕👋
That is the beauty of creating your own. You can make it as hard or as easy you you want. Go back and check out our original van build we showed when we started this channel. It used a camping toilet that needed no plumbing and a hand pump sink that needs no special skill to install. The bed and cabinets are all store bought. ANYONE can do this with any skill level. :)
Hello Jean how are you doing!!
Looks beautiful and cozy.
Love the colors and layout, especially the curtain! --I'm with everyone else though, I'd need a shower. You can install a shower head and still keep your closet. Just put the shower head over the toilet, and have drainage in the floor. I took a shower once in a friends' truck bed camper that had one. Their bathroom was smaller than yours, they had the toilet, a sink on the back of the toilet, and the shower. It worked for me.
Fabulous , u people created your own home sweet home , peacefully u can stay in there like perfect home .
Great Job! Amazing little house on wheels. Enjoy.
Thank you so much!
Hello Stacy how are you doing!!
That’s beautiful. Well done. Just subscribed. Your voice! So soothing.
Just got the exact same bus to convert looking for ideas, thanks for the video
I love it. nicely done. But I missed out the shower room. The kitchen is very spacious and the living room as well.
Please installed the shower.

Thank you.
@@DreamingBigSC 🤗💖
Great job and it's beautiful happy trails ❤
awesome, build! welcome back.
Thanks! We've been posting videos every week but it seems a lot of people are not seeing them in their feed.
@@DreamingBigSC no this is the first one ive seen in months. I was wondering how it looked finished.
i love your bus...very nice...gave me great ideas if i buy your type of bus,,,,i have seen alot if those for sale....but i haven't seen any fixed up like yours....love it
Hello Linda how are you doing!!
Very nice build. Lovely bus.
Very cool build!
It looks like a cabin fit to be on the lake
Great job, really amazing! I thought about living in a shuttle bus way back in the 80s, when I drove them around LAX.
But I never met a construction worker who was single, and shared my dream.
Hello Deborah how are you doing!!
@@larrybill2661 Fairly well, Larry, thanx. And you?
@@deborahannehart6788 I'm doing great and nice
@@deborahannehart6788 So where are you from if you really don't mind me asking?
@@larrybill2661 I am from California.
I like that you used affordable stuff and it looked great.
My plans in the future. Thanks for sharing lots of information.
Thank you so much for watching!
Luv it…..I know lots of hard work and love went into it
Yes it did. Thank you so much for watching.
Great job. Very creative, I love it.
Thus is awesome build. I been thinking about using one of these type buses
I've been researching bus builds for awhile now. Beautiful results, but this more decorating than build. Moisture /vapor barriers are important.
I appreciate your comments, but we were going more towards ease of build and weight then the more traditional builds that are full of wood. We've been using this bus for several years now everywhere from extreme cold to extreme heat and if had no problem with moisture. Thank you for watching and for commenting.
Love your presentation. Just enough facts and a few personalizations. Not self indulgent but, rather it gave insight to your build and organization and function.
Thank you for not being show offs! You should be proud of yourselves! Amazing job!?👍
I'm truly inspired! How long is your bus? Where did you get the brown plastic shelving units for that price?
Loved her voice, so smooth
.....So awesome.... Really nice build!!!.....👍👍👍
Absolutely beautiful
Very nice and cozy.
Me too. I agree with the other person. Sweet voice. Nice job
Excellent! Safe travels!
Looking awesome!
Thank you so much!!
I really like your traveling home.
Thank you so much!
Great job!!!
Love ya and miss you girl. Looks great! You two need to make a trip in that to PA and we can all go to Hershey park and chocolate world ;)
yum I'm craving chocolate right now, a chocolate world you say ? guess I need a passbook so I can leave Canada to find this chocolate world. ((I have great granddaddy roots in PA, never been, suppose to have many far cousins off there, wouldn't even know where to begin to look ... lol)) But chocolate is easy to find
