Mike, I hope you are doing well. It has been a long time. After 1 year without posting I assume you are no longer recording videos for your channel. I’ve created a rule for myself that after 1 year of no post I unsubscribe from a channel. You’ve always been my #1 and I’m hoping more than anything you return and that you are safe & healthy.
It appears he only does videos on Patreon once a month. No free videos any longer. RUclips got him where he’s at, but he’s somehow chosen to thumb his nose at those people without so much as a word. He was once my favorite RUclipsr.
I SO appreciate your comment about how long these builds take. It can be discouraging to watch videos where people somehow get it done in less than a year, and here I am still not done after almost 3 years. I have to tell you how incredibly helpful your series on building Ivan has been to me and my husband. We live in Alberta Canada and it was so helpful to see someone (who knows what they're doing) showing good ways to build a bus for cold weather. Your channel was sort of our gateway into building our own skoolie and you tremendously helped give us the confidence to keep going! We were watching your videos from the beginning of your series, step by step, we followed your lead and adapted many of your ideas for our own build especially when we were starting out. We bought our bus in February 2021, and started living full time in it at the beginning of this October 2023. (It's still not done, but livable) I just want to say thank you Mike, you have no idea how your videos have inspired others! I hope you are able to find the right buyer for Ivan.
We are just now seeing this comment. Do not let those channels discourage you. There are a lot of factors that go into building out a bus (how much time you have, how much money you have, weather, ect.). Those channels act like it's just that easy, but every situation is different. We know this first hand from our build. We have some friends from Alberta that are building one out too. You do what's best for you, safe travels to you.
@@navigationnowhere Hey Mike, would you be interested in a free bus? You already know this one well, it's Navi's twin. Still very low mileage. Let me know if interested.
To prevent waste of water when turning on hot water, you can install a diverter valve to put water back into the freshwater tank until the hot water comes.
6 months to get the seats out, redo the floor and remove the heater on mine...1 year ago. Still building and working on it, but it was done-ish, so moved in and started living my life around it. No regrets, it's great when camping. I ❤ my Huckleberry 😊
@@navigationnowhere just uploaded a video from it, too! You can do anything you desire in life! I have found much serenity in the Buslife, at this point I have a comfortable affordable abode with only 2 bills to pay. That brings so much more to the table than the last 2 decades, I can park it and work on it for free just outside my studio that's included in my present position. And when I retire in a couple of years, I can go on an extended trip with everything set up to go camping, fishing and travel to see all the places I have wanted to for so many years, but couldn't in my career. Safe travels!
Miss you Mike! We’ve com to enjoy spending time watching you videos and getting to know you. Hope to see more from you soon. Your bus builds are amazing but we’d be happy with watching highlights from any adventure you go on!!!
Wow....of course I'm speechless! Been waiting for this day for 3 years. Beautiful job as always. I almost hate to see you part with it because it is so you. But that just means another built is coming in the future, and I can not wait to go on that journey with you! ❤
Thank you much for your leadership, craftmanship and your thoughtful approach. Just finished our bus after 5-years of weekend building. Started taking trips, 2-years ago, before it was done. Thank you, -C
Shoutout to the absolutey genius idea (and execution) of keeping all the water in that single location. Definitely going to add that to the list of concepts to keep in mind (like floor plan vs weight distribution)
Mike....Mike....Mike. I miss your updates. I know, you keep busy. I hope you know, there are ways to set up cameras where you do your thing hands-free, and hopefully, you can, and will want, to hire an editor so you don't have to wait a year to get free time to edit and upload videos. So now you know. You are nissed. You are appreciated and loved as a valid member of the buslife and RUclips community. Also as a fellow human and Earthling. Happy New Year!
I’ve really enjoyed watching you build this right alongside my own short bus build (which isn’t done yet but im almost 3 years into it). Well done! Your excellent building has really helped me through a lot of tricky stuff! Thanks Mike!
Ohh I love that we seen a finished bus. I watched this during a very crazy time in the world, it is crazy how long ago that feels. Thanks for showing us the finished product.
Outstanding! So glad I stuck around in the rotation to catch this one. You showed so many answers to questions I've been asking myself for several yrs now abt what's th e best way for what-goes-where - esp'ly that compact water system. A lot for me to unpack & think.abt over the winter! Much obliged! 😁
Beautiful Build, My Goodness whom ever is fortunate enough to buy Navi you must know that this Bus is Top Notch,How could it Not Be with Mike and Crew, Plus Dale supervised so, C,'Mon Man,lol
Nice to see Ivan complete. Beautiful bus! I enjoyed watching your videos during lockdown, and like the way you included friends, family, etc. I still check in on Navigation Nowhere, when I have a moment. Also glad you decided to keep Navi, which is another beautiful bus. Safe travels!
I am sooooo inspired by people like you. I am ready to begin my journey in nature. I am currently documenting my journey on my channel. Thank you for sharing❤
Beautiful build, but I have 2 concerns...first what about window coverings? At night you'll be on display 😮 and second but most important I didnt see a key lock for the door when you went outside...you pushed the two doors together with your hands. I hope there's a lock there and I just missed it!
IVAN is awesome. Bravo! Most excellent build. Well thought out. Wish I could move forward on this beauty. Have great luck with the sale. Take care and be well
@@navigationnowhere I've GOT ants in da pants visual with you...projects are your jam, for sure. Love watching how you imorove with your builds...That kitchen window opening up is so brilliant...My jaw dropped&I fell in love with it.
It’s beautiful. I wish you could park it and stay in it at my place in Florida and help me with my tiny block house kitchen. Or stay in a guest room. I basically don’t have a kitchen for seven years. Just electrical and lights. It’s a couple blocks from the gulf coast beach. I have a vehicle you could drive around town. Happy Easter. Been away for a bit from watching.
Nice .😁🤔tho you know.. peeping Toms can just 🪜 step on the handy ladder there an peek in the window.. Otherwise of course..the owner would install.. window coverings ..also needs extra seating for on the road driving..companion (Handy ! I've seen a installed small built in permanent flip down/up seat chair.. passenger side feature seat allows clear entry way coming up or into stairs front doorway ) otherwise clean little set up .

Mike, It is a great build. It is missing an L.P. Oven & Fan Hood Vent Over The Burners & MicroWave, for what you are selling it for these 3 items do not cost much at all.

That’s awesome to hear. Congrats on the bus and getting the project moving. Bus building is just as much as the journey as traveling.

Did you sell Ivan? What is the height of the deck rails ?
@@navigationnowhere🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
NAVIGATE to the TRASHCAN
My build only took 6 months...spread over 2 years.😊
Ivan came out great
That’s a good way to say it. Ivan took a “year” (cough cough 3 years)
THAT comment is HILARIOUS...lol
Whoever ends up with the bus will have the best because you’re a perfectionist! Lucky them!
Thanks, I am excited to see where Ivan will end up

Spotted the old green bus on the highway in Tampa FL today! I know you sold it but it’s still got your stickers on it!

You kids… you never call, you never write… 😂
I have been wondering what is going on as well!
@@debjshea here’s hoping he shows up with new vids soon whether bus conversions or lifestyle. Miss seeing him and his band of friends.
I keep wondering if anyone knows Dale’s channel? Or Mike’s sisters? Maybe we should check there?
@@debjshea I don’t have either of their channels but it is a great idea.
I hope Ivan's new family/person checks in from time to time.
That is kind to say 😄
Me too ❤
Out of the blue I thought "Navigation Nowhere" and here you are. Great job on this smaller bus. Perfect for the solo traveler like myself.
Wow....of course I'm speechless! Been waiting for this day for 3 years. Beautiful job as always. I almost hate to see you part with it because it is so you. But that just means another built is coming in the future, and I can not wait to go on that journey with you! ❤

2/21 Missing you and the gang.
Beautiful build!
Great Job Mike! Ivan looks great and your tour is a fun and informative watch! I hope you get it sold! :) - Oh and Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday, see you in the next one.
Ohh I love that we seen a finished bus. I watched this during a very crazy time in the world, it is crazy how long ago that feels. Thanks for showing us the finished product.
I really like the way u built -in that front cup holder and shelf , nice 👍 better than the old dog house.
sweet ride! You did a beautiful job Michael!
Fantastic work as always, friend. Hope all is well.

I’ve learn so much from you making Ivan. You do good work. Im sure you will sell this fast
Awesome build with a lot of attention to detail!!

Great tour of Navi
Thanks, it was great to finally see all compete
You did a great job on your bus.
I hope it goes to great home.
Thanks
Great job
Beautiful build, but I have 2 concerns...first what about window coverings? At night you'll be on display 😮 and second but most important I didnt see a key lock for the door when you went outside...you pushed the two doors together with your hands. I hope there's a lock there and I just missed it!
Beautiful build .
congrats Mike, great job 👍
Thanks
The deck is awesome
One view of the million.
Haha, thanks.
That’s awesome.😎😄 Do you plan to make another Schoolie?
I don’t have plans for another bus right now. I am looking at a few new potential projects.
IVAN is awesome. Bravo! Most excellent build. Well thought out. Wish I could move forward on this beauty. Have great luck with the sale. Take care and be well
Miss your sisters, get no notifications about you. I hope your doing well Mike, glad your with family!!
Really like your build logic…excellent explanations…..I love every inch of it…….
Hope everything is o.k. Been about 6 mo. since your last video...
Awesome! Love what you've done there.
Nicely done love the bus I also love you big bus you do great work ❤👍
Thanks, Oakley and me are loving the big bus too!
I need one of those in my life!! ❤❤
Excellent build Mike! Can't wait to watch your next project. Care to drop any hints?
Not sure which project will come first I have planned.

What an awesome bus I wish I had it ! I love the exterior color !! You did a great job
Great job Mike!
Thanks!
you did a beautiful job
Thanks
Beautiful!!!
It's real nice!
Thanks, glad we got to the final tour
I love the clean look of your build. Great job!
Thanks
I miss you
Your dad's socks are cracking me up.
It’s beautiful. I wish you could park it and stay in it at my place in Florida and help me with my tiny block house kitchen. Or stay in a guest room. I basically don’t have a kitchen for seven years. Just electrical and lights. It’s a couple blocks from the gulf coast beach. I have a vehicle you could drive around town. Happy Easter. Been away for a bit from watching.
Someone will get a great bus.
I hope they will share photos with us!
I love the deck!
Nice .😁🤔tho you know.. peeping Toms can just 🪜 step on the handy ladder there an peek in the window..

I wish navi was mine
DITTO...with a small trailer to pull for my art studio...Heaven on wheels! Lol
❤Great Job and Tour😎👍👍⬆️
Thanks!
I was anxious to see it completed, would love to buy yet finances went shake. I'm still looking at it though. ❤
I am so happy I got this bus done and we all got it finished together!
It's been awhile since you have posted, hope everything is going okay and that you're doing well.
It is really nice 😊.
Well done !
I looked at your listing and you should include that you had it spray foamed!😊
It is beautiful just the window issues and the price!!
Awesome
Awesome ❤❤
I want it!
Must be really busy 🤔✌️
Mike! I'm trying to watch this at work now to get u to that million views but the wifi is ass xD
Mike are you working "free-lance" ? Still in the adirondack foothills? I'm finishing up a little house and could use some help. Rich
And Sisters! Dont forget your sisters ,,or an azz kickin is in your future 😂😅
Great job! I'm looking for a school bus w deck to project our laser shows at events. Please let us know if you have any busses for sale. Thank you!
Where does Dale camp for cheap in Florida? I want to live like this but don't know where. Thanks for all you do
Dale has a house we stay at. But I would check out places like the ocala National forest. There are typically NF like that where you can camp.
Mike, It is a great build. It is missing an L.P. Oven & Fan Hood Vent Over The Burners & MicroWave, for what you are selling it for these 3 items do not cost much at all.
I tried looking up for updates but sadly..Hope you're ok and doing well
Any chance of putting the layout design out for viewers
I have a video with a 3-d rendering in the build series
Where did he go?
Gr8 build! Looks like quality throughout. One question: How tall are you Mike?
I am 5.10
The cats will escape out those emergency windows, they need screens.
If you wanted to load your roof up with solar panels, how much could you fit? I am looking at getting a 5 window and am curious. thanks
Probably 4, maybe 5 depending on how you configure them.
How much would one cost with one more place to sit close to front?
Did the bus sell
Hey how much for the bus I have seen the build and really like it and would really like to see if it’s still available..
Send me an email michaelfuehrer@navigationnowhere.com I can send over more information.
Are you no longer posting videos here?
