    This bus really reflects her darling personality. I would have given up the closet and made a bathroom for me but would not made any other changes

    • @shilohb20031
      @shilohb20031 3 года назад +12

      Yes even a wet bath and a Drop down TV at the end of the bed or one of those that rises up out of a cubby nook by a remote control.

    • @serenakoleno9338
      @serenakoleno9338 3 года назад +7

      But realize a bathroom has a lot of empty space whereas the closet is stuffed. Lots of vanlifers end up removing bathroom/shower or repurposing. She could always incorporate a potty elsewhere in the van.

    Her bus interior looked calming with those light wood colour and lighter paint. Felt clean line and not clutter at all. most of all, love her way of doing her own way, and accepting the mistakes and just be herself. No, we don't have to wait for someone to move on. You go girl!💪

    I like the sight-lines front-to-rear.
    The closet creates intimacy in the bed area, and its horizontal lines direct the eye into the greater space.
    Visually very appealing!
    .
    And minimal cabinets above waist-level increase the sense of visual and visceral openness [applause].
    .
    With nearly two decades full-time live-aboard in our ExpeditionVehicle -- after a half-century of camping in lesser rigs -- we evolved toward many of similar design decisions.
    .
    Maggie,
    We think you are a natural at this.
    Everybody in the office and shop is looking forward to your next build!

      I was hoping her drawers in front of the bed was a cassette toilet, or some other kind but no and she doesn't even address it. Being a "woman of a certain age" (quote from doctors) I need access to a toilet at all odd times of day and night.

    Hi Maggie, loved your video and that you did your bus conversion mostly by yourself, learning along the way. I'm an old retired General Contractor and Building Official and love to see young people who show initiative and drive to create for themselves. Sadly, those traits are rare these days, so it is really refreshing to see, when I can find examples like yours. Good luck with your future travels.

    🤔…….No shower or toilet. But it is her first build, and I think you did an amazing job putting this bus together. Especially the storage you created in your bus. However, I get the feeling that this may be your first, but not your last build. You’re so smart and innovative. I also love how you were able to salvage different items in your build! I know you’re very proud of what you have created, but I believe years down the road, with the knowledge you’ve gained, you will build another camper with more improvements. Great job!!! 😉

    She did an awesome job and a lot of her items are repurposed . I would of gone with a max fan instead of a sky light but once she has something to hold it open it will give more airflow . I have no doubt with upgrading her solar panels to what she wants and making darker curtains her bus will become everything she needs . Job well done !

    As a woman (who is a little pretty handy, but also not a professional), her tenacity and resourcefulness (IKEA bedframe and speakers) through the build is inspiring. I’m impressed by how everything came out and how modest and refreshing she is. Even though she’s pointing out some of the mistakes she made, everything looks so professional and thoughtful (particularly the lock latch and the curtains), and she encourages you to learn from those mistakes! This gives me so much hope and motivation to keep striving to do similar projects.

    Maggie you go girl, I am so proud of you building your bus and you are still working on the road a lot of young people go on the road with a savings and I think that’s unrealistic to do , they make me nervous choosing not to work.

    Such a smart young lady. Cute skoolie creation; but gotta have an indoor toilet/place to wash up. Stay safe.

    Doing without a bathroom
    must've been tough for people
    during the draconian lockdowns. Especially since the
    gyms were closed. I would definitely give some serious thought to the basic necessities, if I ever find the
    skoolie of my dreams. 🚿🚽
    Still it's a sweet little bus and
    a sweet girl. Stay safe!

    I'd switch that wardrobe for a shower/toilet. And slide out the fridge. But then I like to have cider handy. :P
