    Many thanks to Kim & Ethan for showing us their amazing home. It’s definitely one of the best self converted skoolie we have ever seen. What do you like most about it?

      @@kellys.7097 The weight limits are always posted on the vehicle itself, usually on a door, at least in cars.
      If for some reason that placard is missing or illegible, you can always contact the manufacturer, if Google doesn’t yield the information.

    Hands down, the best bus design, most aesthetically pleasing, well presented bus tour I've seen out of the hundreds I've watched! So many make nomads the mistake of detailing absolutely everything in drawers/cabinets, so the general outlining of contents in this video is much better. So many storage solutions I adore. Loving all the woodwork, the windows, the kitchen layout, the bathroom. Dog (and cat!) lovers always get my vote and here there is such fantastic provision for the hounds. I adored them playing in the background of the kitchen segment lol. Happy travels to this couple. I wish them joy of the home on wheels.

So cool how they made the dog area. Plus the closet for all their clothes. Just amazing. I would live on there in a heart beat.

    Fantastic work guys you have thought of everything and I mean everything!!!!
    Everyone in your family has their own space and by doing the space you done for your dog's proves beyond a doubt that you both have thought of everyone in your family!!!! Even down to any overnight guests you may encounter!
    This is a fantastic, beautiful, stunning and truly amazing build 💕💕💕💕 you guys should be so so so so very proud of yourselves 👏👏👏👏
    Thankyou for allowing us to see your home.
    Again such attention to detail and a truly fantastic, amazing, beautiful and stunning build. Everyone dogs included are thought about in this beautiful home/bus.
    Beautiful dogs by the way 🐶🐶 they aren't small either but their size has been taken in account in their own "bedroom" 😍😍 oh my days the dogs have pillows 😮 those dogs are not only truly loved, they are blessed with human parent's and I am guessing they are spoilt too 😍🐶😍🐶😍
    Wow guys even your roof desk is beautiful bet you sure do enjoy being up there having a nice cold beer or two 🍻🍻
    I am amazed that you got such an incredible home for $20,000 😮😮😮😮 that's absolutely fantastic!!!!

    Boil a large pot of water. The steam will help add much needed moisture to the air. Leave the pot of water on the stove too; as the water evaporates the air will have some moisture. A cool mist humidifier may also help.
