Bought my Ram promaster to convert last Nov while still working. Started gathering equipment to start the conversion and covid 19 put the breaks on my project. Hoping I will be back on track to travel if this lockdown ends before Christmas. Its just me and 2 cats so I dont need a lot of space. I loved the built in shoe storage/dresser idea and the under bed storage on hydraulic lifts. Definitely stealing those ideas. Love your decor keeping it bright and lively
I love your home.you have a beautiful family.i wish you loads of fun and good health. Hope you make room for God in your wonderful home.may God bless you.❤️
Judging by the design style and everything in there, you'd think she was living in that bus by herself. Edit: I made this comment before I saw the part about the closet and how 90% of it is her stuff. Aaaaand I rest my case.
My hope is that all of the many comments about the needs of the kids and dogs being overlooked for the sake of the mom’s wants/needs really puts things in perspective. Some times it takes someone or someones on the outside to speak up before things become so obvious to the person involved. Hopefully the viewers have made a difference in the lives of the kids and pups and the parents will make some pretty big changes...like ASAP!
Wow this is the first time i watch tiny home tours owners that is ... something. They have a beautiful house but, its suitable for a couple not family with 3 kids and 6 dogs! Also the idea of tiny home is living minimalistic. When she show us how much she "share" the space on the bus, I knew right away living tiny is not her goal. I dont know her at all and i dont want to disrespect her too. But showing us that, she must know theres gotta be a negative comments, and i think she do this tiny living thing just to make a youtube channel.
Feel rlly sorry for the kids,bc they have some much less space and they’ll outgrow it quickly and when she said that they didn’t need that many bunks I think the kids do need more space
@@myra7221stupid argument. tour buses get performers to and from shows. they often stop at hotels on the way. and adults are mature, they have made the choice to live in that scenario for the sake of making a living and they don't do it full time year round usually. it's different raising kids.
I'm a huge proponent of the tiny house and van life movement, but 6 dogs and 5 people in one bus is stretching it. I wonder if this is a short term limited time adventure thing. I can't see how this can be sustainable for more than that.
Yes, it seems it is a limited term adventure. Their kids will eventually outgrow their cubbies. They have also put things in storage so presumably they intend to have those things afterward.
Elizabeth Mountain clearly you havent seen the Asher House. He lives and travels in his skoolie with 10 dogs🤣 and he loves them all to pieces and theyre taken care of. So.. 6 dogs? Can be done. :)
Hey, if they can make it work, why knock em? Who cares if its a short term thing or a long term or forever thing? Theyre happy, theyre living their lives, let them do them. As for the animals and human kids, you adjust according to their age, you take things down, put different things up, etc. For animals, more beds and ramps and such and make sure they have space and for human kids, you give them space and theyll be okay.
I need to see these six dogs. The black and white in the vid looked pretty damn big. I’m not at all convinced they “sold everything” lol. It seems like this bus is basically her’s and it’s so she can blog.
Hey not to be rude in any way, just not understanding your statement about the child being way down on the floor? Kids play and sleep on the floor or ground all around the world. The kid on the blue rug on the floor in the video is clearly engaged in some sort of video gaming, and the larger kid is not on the floor but in a mid-level bunk bed. This is nowhere near anything to be heartbroken by or from. This family exhibits an atmosphere of calm and happy-joyous love.
Notice how she says "I" wanted, "I" need. However, Dad uses "US"! Number of shoes in a bus, is way over the top. She likes to keep minimal, except for shoes.
Y'all....it's not about the kids, the dog or the husband. It's about my clothes, my make-up, my styling equipment, my jewelry, the way I dressed for the video and ME, ME, ME, ME, ME!!!!!
Not going to comment on all the other stuff but as far as the kennel for the dogs go, we have worked with the most amazing dog trainers. And the universal thing they all told us: dog kennels/crates should be just big enough for them to turn around in. They do not need a lot of space in their crate training. They also said that all dogs are ok to be crate trained. Given all this, they also said owners also have to make sure that dogs have as much outdoor space to exercise as possible. Active dogs also need “jobs”. The kennel is fine but the overall space is too small for 6 dogs.
Am I the only one who finds it disheartening that she gets all that space for shoes and clothes and makeup and jewelry and the kids get a little box under the desk and a bed they can't even sit up on?
Micheal French it really bothers me that they have 6 dogs cooped up in a 4x2 kennel, my dogs kennel is 3x3 and that’s for only one dog. Her closet is the same size as the kids area, and her makeup area is bigger than the dogs area. Bus life isn’t for your family if your stuff takes up more space than the rest of your family combined.
I don't get how this is minimalistic when there's so much extra stuff hanging and unnecessary decorations that could've been forgone and allowed for more room for kids and dogs.
I really don't think it is kid or pet friendly. Dogs do not like too be cooped up and need to move around too be healthy. That small space for six dogs? No. That is why you have air conditioning in there as they are most likely smashed together. The bedroom quarters for the kids is not feasible or realistic or enough room for them. Privacy too. They will outgrow it fast. No stove or oven is also not a good decision. Too me and my opinion looks like it was all tailored to the "woman" of the home. She gets the makeup space, the jewelry space and space for her 38 pairs of shoes and disney ear head bands and clothes. Yet the kids get one Bob each for their clothes and I didn't see any toy bins or anything for them. Nor any area for her husband and his hobbies. It would of been easier to have table to eat on that came apart easily so the family could eat together. She also gets a coffee station. It is all tailored to her and really to no one else. This is not a good use of space, kid or pet friendly and nor for the husband.
Sorry but you're projecting and judging only on assumptions. Like you totally miss the point of traveling in that people get outside and explore the world and thus don't need to be cooped up inside all the time. They're not going to be trapped in their home like you are! They'll all get much more fresh air, get real exercise as they explore all the different places they'll be going to, experience much more in their life than you could in a regular home, and feel like they are on an adventure the whole time because that's what they're doing! Just because it's not for you means absolutely nothing to them, it's their lives and not yours! Get over it!
@@ZeoCyberG You completely missed the point of the OP. Crafty Angells isn't projecting. Crafty Angells was observing the woman's "all about herself" behavior. That is the way she comes across in this video.
@@jolliepoussey9 Sorry but no, statements based on only first impressions are only influenced by personal bias, which means projecting onto others things you have absolutely no idea are true or not. But people don't fall into actual stereotypes and there's many reasons 1st impressions can be wrong... I only mentioned a few like exercise, which traveling lifestyles provide in abundance, which the OP never considered... Not all pets require a lot of space either, or may prefer to get their exercise outside, making the interior irrelevant.... . Fact is people will and do live differently from each other. People are diverse and what's best will vary person to person. Go around the world and you will find countless different lifestyles and norms from what you are used to... Keep that in mind the next time you think it's justified to judge people you don't even know and say things about them you would never say in person!
@@stargazng “give the kids their space” … WHAT SPACE!?!? Like DAMN!!?? That made me so sad when she said how it “looks cool”… that’s all she worried about. Not how comfortable those poor kids are. Makes me feel terrible
Angela A I am definitely “high maintenance”, but when you work hard for everything you have, you should be able to buy the things, do the things, and keep the things that make you happy 😊 Thank you for Watching!!
For a little girl, I wish you gave her choice of bed, not to be stucked in the middle. Apart of having one draw box for her clothes together with 2 more for her brothers there is nothing extra for her. Your hubby has little, so do boys... yet you are woman, you worked for it and you deserve 1/3 of space of the bus for storage, what about your daughter, honey, special mom with all you deserve to be well and i understand shoes and clothes and fashion, but what about your daugther to be mini you...
@@Beingbethunes I just realized my comment was rude. I don't even know you personally so, I'm sorry for the assumption I made. On another note; you guys have a beautiful home.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. She has a King size bed and lots of room to put her stuff in but the kids and dogs have barely anything. Seems cruel to me
Honestly the kids have a lot of stuff already like a. Tv in their bed a huge screen to play video game soo I guess it makes sence and I guess it’s just u sorry if this sounds mean
Same vibes. Im just too curious with how they stored everything to get idea for my future little house but it was torture hearing her voice all the way to their king sized bed. Ughwhkll.
@@misse1071 I remember this woman, she was so angry with what I said, so she responded to me, nasty. but I don't care. It was there for the whole world to see the hot mess and her drama.
Why did they cram 3 bunks in that space. They could have easily kept the bunk where the desk is and put storage for childrens clothes under. I think privacy and more space for kids is more important than office space. Especially now that there are ipads and laptops, desktops are not a necessity. I rarely studied at a desk anyway and turned out fine 🙄
They needed the desk space for multiple things, so no, they could *not* have left a bunk there. The chairs are not the best for posture, but they are way better than people sitting slouched on the sofa.
@@globetrotting2628 go bore someone else, I give my opinion cuz it's right here on the channel for everyone to see and comment on and doing whatever the hell they please. Thanks:) and apparently more people agree with me
Watching this video actually made me feel sad for their 3 kids and also dogs but mainly the kids. 😥 How can this parents/ mother prioritize her own make-up/ her own closet/ and her office rather than her own kids’ comfort. 😪😔😟 I feel very sad for them and the dogs too. Please try to give your kids more comfy space and a good enough space for their clothes too. It seems like only you and your husband is living comfortably in your bus with your huge bed and closet space. 😞😞😞
Fully disagree. This mama is raising a huge family on the road providing a childhood i only dreamt of. Their backyard may be a national park today and the pacific northwest coast next week. Feel sorry for us! Not them. Let the woman have her shoes. Geez
Although this is a LOVELY home... I think its a little too small ( 350 square feet is what she said ) for Family of not really 5 but 11 when you include the fur babies.
Those poor kids and those poor dogs - sheesh I could never subject my family to that. If it was just me and my Husband maybe - but not my kids. That is unfair to them, to be forced to move from place to place - they cant make any friends, at least not lasting friendships. All I really took away from this was that its all about the mother and not much else.
You don't know what you're talking about. There are millions of military kids and other nomadic kids who build awesome relationships on the move. The research is out there. But this particular mom is disgusting.
So the kids have to sleep in a hole in the wall? But then she gets to have all the space for this and that? Wtf... 🤦♀️ If I was the kid I would not be happy!!
I feel like I would only ever RV part time… I’m not “high maintenance” really, but I LOVE my house… I got it becuase it had EVERYTHING WE ALL wanted/needed (well mostly).. husband has his own office/Man cave. I have my own space. Plus enough room for kids to have their bedrooms, and an upstairs loft/living area just for them. Garage is big enough for craft room, and home gym, plus hubby’s motorcycle. I caught a lot of flack from people “ohh you’re just boogee, why do you need a house that big”? Why not? I’m entitled to have nice things… our other house was decent. But we outgrew it… and it’s not about needing it’s what we WANTED. But I think it would be cool to travel in off season etc. but I would want a camper/rv thats suitable for all of us to be comfortable in.
Parents: big king bed, private space. Kids: 3 little cubby holes to sleep and get away from everyone. The shoes, jewelry and clothes get a better space than the kids.
Yup, I agree. I can’t see how six dogs would live comfortably in that kennel, I think it’s cruel. Two dogs, maybe, but not six! Even the space for the three kids was ridiculously small, you could already tell that they can’t even sit up right in bed.. I just can’t see this conversion being a long term thing, they’re going to grow out of it so quickly because their kids future needs/wants were never met - but I guess it’s ok as long as mum and dad have a king size bed and plenty of storage for all their own belongings, who cares about the kids, right? 💁♀️🙄
All I could think about was those poor children and dogs. They have no room! They can’t even sit up in their beds! They get one shoe container for their clothes?! Where are the toys?! And those poor dogs.... just unreal. Your priorities are your own big clothing/ shoes/ ears/ makeup/ storage and king size bed?! Gross and cruel. I hope you see these comments and get some sense about you.
My thoughts exactly!!🤢 She's a narcissistic gross person, that isn't hardly a mother! Mothers put their children's needs & wants first. Most bus tours that I see that have children make it about the comfort of the children and it's so heartwarming to see. This woman is a complete opposite. Very pretentious and is trying to glamorize herself!
They may live small... which is saving money but she is very high end! Gold sink, fixtures and a $500+ Dyson hair dryer!😆 they know where to scrimp. Priorities! Do they have tcup chihuahuas? 6 dogs in that tiny kennel? No! Unless they are tiny there’s no way. I have 2 boxers and there’s no way. Update: i saw they have 3 big dogs an 3 small dogs...they still must be on top of each other in that kennel. 5 people and 6 dogs in 350sf bus? Thats a little much
@@456pickupstixs seriously? Right. You must know her completely from a 20min video....it was her husband's idea to go tiny, they did it together. She obviously had a big hand in the decorating process. It is HER home too.
I love how she is still stylish and glam on the go😂😂Dyson hair dryer.Yes exactly.I think I'd be the stylish dude on the go.Dad got a little swag too.🤣Very impressive home.
I feel like she missed the whole point of getting minimal.... the kids basically have such a tiny size space for them whereas she has a lot of space.. bless them all
Those kids basically have nothing! I was really upset when she said she had 30 pairs of shoes when the kids have 1 box of clothes each. "No personal space when you're a mom" that has nothing to do with this topic. I get it, as a mom u have kids all over u all day every day... U really didn't even see these kids throughout the whole video and i bet it's because all their clothes r old and worn out while she looks all pretty. I'm tilted by how these kids have 1 box of clothes each. There's nothing worse to me than a parent that looks nice when their children look scrappy. And that's coming from a parent of a little girl and a big brother of 2 younger brothers. They always looking fly before me, off my dollars, off my hard earned sweat. Period
Different strokes for different folks I suppose. I live in a very small farm house. for the four of us there are two bedrooms so those were given to my kids. They have a quiet room and a party room
Ugh. What is with all the negativity?? Awesome video. Your family is beautiful and I appreciate that you didn't compromise your needs/wants. You guys did a fantastic job at balancing function, fun and style!! Some kids want their own ROOM, some kids are happy with just a spot to sleep byt want a gaming area instead. You know your family! All the blood, sweat, tears and LOVE shows. Great job! ❤ ❤
lol no you didn't miss them, they didn't show them but i am sure her amazon sofa came came with them lol. this chick stacks her kids like fire wood and she has a king size bed,, them kids are in ikea shoe holders under a desk an she has a huge closet etc... snootie stuck up self centered bitch if you ask me...
@@missjessiejane1 wow you have an amazing power of labeling people with out even knowing them if you get a chance to see their other videos you will find out how ignorant your statement actually is.
The pro's: Awesome bus/home, she has great taste. Nice voice not annoying and she's pretty- New career she should be doing house tours she's able to keep her audience engaged. Cons: Totally designed for her, she really didn't consider her family needs (selfish). Kids and pets have no space not to mention her poor husband but he's probably just happy he gets to look at her all day. Kids have no privacy (what happens when they hit puberty, especially the girl who will have feminine products she doesn't want brothers to see) or space for toys or maybe instruments anything to discover their creativity. She needs to get rid of 5 out of her six dogs . I have 2 pitbulls and 2 chihuahuas who have a 10x10 room all to themselves and over half an acre to run around. This tiny home was poorly designed since she only considered her needs. I hope she will reconsider and redesign the home putting her children's needs/ comfort/ privacy before her's.
Thank god for these folk with out them we would not have been able to find gabby as quick as we were! God bless you all and you cameras without you the Schmidt’s and petitos would have suffered longer without gabby! So from the bottom of my heart thank you
i actually disagree with everyone saying she's unbearable. i read a LOT of the comments saying she's a narcissist, she doesn't care about her kids or dogs, she only says "i", she takes up all the room, etc. true, her voice might be a little cringey, but she's probably nervous, and she's not really too in control of that anyway (somewhat). she says "we" WAY more than "i", and she HAS to say "i" sometimes because she did a LOT of the planning, shopping, and designing! she's just talking about her experience. and personally being the mom of 5 dogs of all sizes (who are my absolute life and i'd never do anything to make them uncomfortable) - it's totally believable that 6 tiny dogs are comfortable in that huge kennel, mine would all snuggle up and be fine, honestly. also - she doesn't have THAT much space that's just hers, she shares most of it. a TINY cupboard behind the toilet for her makeup? one wall smashed at the back of her closet for her jewelry? people are really picking on her. she's just a different kind of person, be tolerant. she talked a lot about how much she downsized and how hard it was for her, she's trying. she'll get better. everyone is being supercritical, and i just want to remind our community that it is REALLY hard for most americans to make the switch to minimalism. we're taught MORE MORE MORE, and that can be a really hard habit to break. WE SHOULD, don't get me wrong. i do NOT agree with the american mindset we're all brainwashed into. we should all be working on our rampant consumerism and sizeist attitudes. but, i think she's doing great. at least she's trying, which is WAY more than a lot of people. her kids have bunks (as a touring musician i have lived in those bunks and there's plennnnnty of space for them) and they're still little and short so they can easily reach their clothes under the desk... i think she did a great job of maximizing their space and being smart about it. the kids will grow, she will grow and become less materialistic and create more space for them, the dogs will still be small, everything will be fine. sorry for the rant - it's just so disheartening to click on these videos and seeing our community tearing people apart for trying.
Thank you so much!!!! The hateful comments were unbearable to watch, I only came on today because we are filming a “reading mean comments video” for our channel. I’m actually really glad I did come on to see your comment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being what this world needs more of ❤️
Y'all, she's down to 38 PAIRS OF SHOES...what a sacrifice. Wow. She really does need an award, she can stop patting herself on the back that way. I've been watching quite a few tiny home/van life/bus conversion videos lately and I think this is officially the one I hate the most. My first downvote of the ones I've seen. This is her vanity project, everyone else is an after thought and a prop. She made a comment about needing a king size bed because everyone piles in to that---it's because they don't have any room anywhere else! I feel like this is a family who shouldn't be tiny house/bus living. Those kids are going to outgrow those tiny little cubie beds in just a few years.
I love your Bus.You all look so happy and I give u credit you keep yourself up w 3 kids and 6 dogs is alot of work.It looks so cozy and just like a home.Im happy for u all.
The mom: “We needed a dresser” “I needed a make up space” “I needed an office” “I needed a coffee station” “I needed a king size bed” “I needed a closet” The kids: “It’s tons of storage they each have there own bin for clothes and a crapped bunk bed”
and the I have 6 nasty dogs and a special kennel for them part doesn't smack of self importance either. She's unique. Wouldn't want to be her kid, as it seems she cares more about herself and her dogs than her kids.
Red White & Bethune an Average American Family I have never counted mine, but I’m sure I’m closer to 144 than 38! Kudos to you for being able to whittle down both your shoes and clothes, because I don’t think I could! I have a huge walk-in closet packed to the gills and still a couple of big stacks of stuff that won’t fit. I finally had to move my evening clothes and a few other things I wear less often into another closet, but it’s full of office things and life storage.
wendyannh it was actually REALLY cathartic to downsize and get rid of things you don’t use/need. From a young age, I have always loved shoes! I did bring a pair of Ice Cream shoes on the road, just to wear vacuuming 🤣🤣 but they make me happy and that’s what matters!
@thelostbells had the BEST one I’ve seen . The kids had a play area and their own section of the bus ! She’s didn’t maximize the space and prioritized her make up .
These kids can’t even sit up in there beds and 6 dogs in 1 kennel? Who travels full time with 6 dogs? I’ve seen plenty of these videos and so many others make it work so the kids have enough space and the parents do to.
Yeah. I did feel sorry for the kids, esp the one at the bottom of the bunk. I dont feel really at ease. They have compromised the kid's space for other not so special points. 😬😬 And the way she clarified the safety and convenience of the dogs rather than her children disappointed me.
Fantastic bus. Everything in its own place. Your kids are obviously very well behaved. I'm a 76 years old bachelor from Michigan. I'm also a new subscriber.
Cool bus with lots of ideas. So sad to see such negative comments. Clearly, she is proud of what they created and is eager to share with others and they probably plan on trying to earn $$ sharing their journey across the U.S. on social media. Kids sleep space might seem small to some, but they have the whole world outside to enjoy. Maybe they are better off than kids who have a large room to themselves yet rarely leave it. And the dogs looked small so I was not concerned about the size of the kennel. Good luck on your journey!!
I love the Bethune family! I had so much fun getting to know this wonderful couple and their sweet children. They really turned a vision into reality by creating this dream bus conversion. Every aspect of this build was designed with intention. Such an inspiration! And their kids? LIVING THE LIFE! :) How amazing that they each had a part in the build/creation of their home! Not many kids have that special opportunity. This family is doing life right! So excited to follow their travels!
Shes super cute, and you can tell she takes pride in her family and this creation. Yall some haters lol confidence on 1000 and she seems like she has a sweet spirit, the house is beautiful. i love it. Good for yall 🤟🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Real pride! sticks her kids in a bunk to live and all their belongings in little boxes, mean while her clothes get actual cubic feet. Shes cute? More like Cruella devill,im sure her 6 dogs feel the same way. I have a 100% feeling your gay and just as self absorbed!
Y'all have forgot that there is storage in the basement of the bus. When you live this lifestyle with kids, they play outside a lot. Dogs too I hope. They more than likely have lots of toys in the basement. And I'm sure a lot of you think that's just horrible. However, even in a large house kids can string toys from one end of the house to the other. And who gets to clean it up Mom. Been there done that. I think you build your rig to how you live. And this seems to be the way they live. I love the lay out. And as the kids get bigger I'm sure things will change. Life is always changing. Go with it.
Thank you for your sweet words!! We love watching you guys!! You are also very right, the kids have all of their toys in our basement and unfortunately, that footage didn’t make the video.
...oh wow had to pause at cows in the bathroom -huge yay from me...so epic how y'all took what's special to your fam (including mom's gold sink) and carefully thought out how to include these things...huge props to prioritizing cozy while exploring ...
I only have 5 pairs. There’s just no need for that many when people r starving to death amd animals being put down for no reason other then space....donate money towards them. Some states even still use the gas chamber to kill them. Idk I’ve just always put others first, like my kids needs and pets, etc.... Donating to charity is also important.
The size of the kids spaces are unbelievably small. Poor kids. And the dog kennel! I usually love these tours but this build is centered around her, not the rest of the family. They sacrificed everything, she sacrificed nothing!
ronnie Stevenson I agree.. I normally love these tiny home tours but this one was weird. How do you minimize your children's space for your own comfort or having 6 dogs in a small kennel. It seems no producer watched this episode before posting it. Very disturbing
Omg its so adorable, it is a cool idea to have a bus home, can be accessible to workplace or do a makeshifttents for business and leisure. So family can always be accessible. Covid devastated everybody, so work availability has become more and more scarce. Bus house is super ideal I want too hopefully 🥰🥰🥰
Kids don’t need as much “sleeping space” as society forces you to believe. There’s been many studies done that have seen kids much more mentally stable as adults if they slept in a twin size bed or smaller 👍
Lying two-faced pony solder You may think I’m annoying, but I’d rather be annoying than a guy with an anger problem spewing hate about a family I didn’t even know 👍 Best wishes to you! Happy Travels! 🚎😀
I've been watching a whole lot of these videos, and this one is so cringy. The spaces for the kids and the dogs is insanity compared to the space that the woman claimed. One tiny storage bin each for clothes while the mom gets a full closet and dresser? One pair of shoes each while she has over 30? All of their toys piled into bed with them while she gets closets and dressers and makeup spaces and bathroom storage? Beds designed so the kid on top has to step on the bunk on bottom to get into bed? Tiny beds that absolutely will not offer space enough for them, but the parents get a massive king sized bed? It doesn't feel like RV living is really for this woman, and it felt more like her husband, kids, and dogs had to do 90% of the sacrificing to facilitate this change.
I am not a fan of Disney but I am a fan of your bus. Turned out beautiful!! Definitely has the homey feeling & it's obvious that all of you are happy in it. The blue sets off the white nicely with the gold. I prefer silver but the gold absolutely works. There's nothing negative I can even think of with your bus. Beautiful!!
I imagine the kids are loving their beds/area space. It looked pretty cozy for each one and each bed had their unique stamp on it. When I was a kid, I loved the tent/cave feel. Those children are adorable. The dogs are most likely people/kid dogs. ..they're happy when spending time with their humans. All dogs want are food, love and exercise. I grew up in a 790 sq ft house . 3 bedrooms, kitchen, living room, Bathroom, utility room and a 3 ft by 3 foot furnace room. 2 brothers shared a room, my sister and I slept in the same bed till I left home at 18. As we grew, so did our needs and wants. As we had no end goal in mind, we lived our lives to just live life till we got older and left the nest. This family has a goal to visit all 50 U.S states... and in this very nice 🚌 they are giving it their best shot to live a dream. I imagine as time passes and kids get older; their future goals will change too.
Absolutely gorgeous! I'm at the beginning of converting a bus for my daughter and I and I'm so looking forward to the adventure! I love seeing other families enjoying just being together, there'll come a time all too soon where the children grow up and move on (as my eldest 3 have), and I wish I'd been able to do this with them years ago and spend more quality time with them, rather than being spread out separately over a huge house. Congratulations on such a beautiful and functional home that your whole family clearly love. And ignore the nay-sayers, your kids will have the best memories and you're doing an amazing job as parents giving them this opportunity
Wow, these comments are harsh. I get it, I don't live that life either, but the kids are small and they get to live an adventure. And mom is just doing her best.. this video was to show off their space.. that's what she was doing. And who has seen a house where the master bedroom isn't the biggest room?
Thank you!! Unfortunately people don’t take the time to realize that this is a 20 minute TOUR video. If they’d go watch the videos we make on our channel, they would see all the storage space under the bus for the kiddos and how much time we DONT spend cooped up inside. Thank you for watching!!
As things progress, more and more families are downsizing and hitting the road. Is this something you are considering?
100% how much did this cost???
Yes sir
Bought my Ram promaster to convert last Nov while still working. Started gathering equipment to start the conversion and covid 19 put the breaks on my project. Hoping I will be back on track to travel if this lockdown ends before Christmas. Its just me and 2 cats so I dont need a lot of space. I loved the built in shoe storage/dresser idea and the under bed storage on hydraulic lifts. Definitely stealing those ideas. Love your decor keeping it bright and lively
ABSOLUTELY. 2 yrs is my goal!!🎈🎈
I love your home.you have a beautiful family.i wish you loads of fun and good health.
Hope you make room for God in your wonderful home.may God bless you.❤️
Judging by the design style and everything in there, you'd think she was living in that bus by herself.
Edit: I made this comment before I saw the part about the closet and how 90% of it is her stuff. Aaaaand I rest my case.
My hope is that all of the many comments about the needs of the kids and dogs being overlooked for the sake of the mom’s wants/needs really puts things in perspective. Some times it takes someone or someones on the outside to speak up before things become so obvious to the person involved. Hopefully the viewers have made a difference in the lives of the kids and pups and the parents will make some pretty big changes...like ASAP!
Well put Iris Queen
Wow this is the first time i watch tiny home tours owners that is ... something.
They have a beautiful house but, its suitable for a couple not family with 3 kids and 6 dogs! Also the idea of tiny home is living minimalistic. When she show us how much she "share" the space on the bus, I knew right away living tiny is not her goal. I dont know her at all and i dont want to disrespect her too. But showing us that, she must know theres gotta be a negative comments, and i think she do this tiny living thing just to make a youtube channel.
They should be arrested.
Feel rlly sorry for the kids,bc they have some much less space and they’ll outgrow it quickly and when she said that they didn’t need that many bunks I think the kids do need more space
Could be worst. I saw another video where a family of fricking TEN!!! all lived in a RV. Not a bus. An RV. That's crazy!
It was a tour bus that slept 9 grown adults in it for ten years. If they can do it, the kids can do it easily.
I think people are forgetting that the “work space” is obviously for the kids.
Lying two-faced pony solder it’s literally none of your business.
@@myra7221stupid argument. tour buses get performers to and from shows. they often stop at hotels on the way. and adults are mature, they have made the choice to live in that scenario for the sake of making a living and they don't do it full time year round usually. it's different raising kids.
I'm a huge proponent of the tiny house and van life movement, but 6 dogs and 5 people in one bus is stretching it. I wonder if this is a short term limited time adventure thing. I can't see how this can be sustainable for more than that.
Yes, it seems it is a limited term adventure. Their kids will eventually outgrow their cubbies. They have also put things in storage so presumably they intend to have those things afterward.
Six dogs is a little over the top in close quarters
Elizabeth Mountain clearly you havent seen the Asher House. He lives and travels in his skoolie with 10 dogs🤣 and he loves them all to pieces and theyre taken care of. So.. 6 dogs? Can be done. :)
Hey, if they can make it work, why knock em? Who cares if its a short term thing or a long term or forever thing? Theyre happy, theyre living their lives, let them do them. As for the animals and human kids, you adjust according to their age, you take things down, put different things up, etc. For animals, more beds and ramps and such and make sure they have space and for human kids, you give them space and theyll be okay.
@@lsmithdixon Who here is stopping them from living their lives exactly?
Ooh! Just feel the mom does it for herself and how can 5 people and six dogs live in such small space comfortably! I doubt it! 🤔🤔
6 dogs 5 people & most of the build was done for this ladys needs, wow
I need to see these six dogs. The black and white in the vid looked pretty damn big.
I’m not at all convinced they “sold everything” lol.
It seems like this bus is basically her’s and it’s so she can blog.
The fact that her clothes and jewelry had more space than the children... Ugh! Broke my heart the one child all the way down on the floor like that 😞
Sad but true
Yeah, I picked up on that to, “I need...l Need, My Dyson, 140? Shoes down to...? “ would not have admitted that. Lol!
She's actually in the middle and probably having adventures your kid's only dream about.....
Jealousy of someone else’s free choices makes you all look stupid!
Hey not to be rude in any way, just not understanding your statement about the child being way down on the floor? Kids play and sleep on the floor or ground all around the world. The kid on the blue rug on the floor in the video is clearly engaged in some sort of video gaming, and the larger kid is not on the floor but in a mid-level bunk bed. This is nowhere near anything to be heartbroken by or from. This family exhibits an atmosphere of calm and happy-joyous love.
Oh wow, Mom has it all while children and pets suffer. Even has a special acrylic box to have her for pair of sunglasses.
Notice how she says "I" wanted, "I" need. However, Dad uses "US"! Number of shoes in a bus, is way over the top. She likes to keep minimal, except for shoes.
Well, her kids also have a special...... box
Y'all....it's not about the kids, the dog or the husband. It's about my clothes, my make-up, my styling equipment, my jewelry, the way I dressed for the video and ME, ME, ME, ME, ME!!!!!
Not going to comment on all the other stuff but as far as the kennel for the dogs go, we have worked with the most amazing dog trainers. And the universal thing they all told us: dog kennels/crates should be just big enough for them to turn around in. They do not need a lot of space in their crate training. They also said that all dogs are ok to be crate trained. Given all this, they also said owners also have to make sure that dogs have as much outdoor space to exercise as possible. Active dogs also need “jobs”. The kennel is fine but the overall space is too small for 6 dogs.
Am I the only one who finds it disheartening that she gets all that space for shoes and clothes and makeup and jewelry and the kids get a little box under the desk and a bed they can't even sit up on?
And the fact that they have 6 dogs in even less space?!?!
@@secretfruitrollup5132 I can't even imagine what it must smell like with six dogs either
Micheal French it really bothers me that they have 6 dogs cooped up in a 4x2 kennel, my dogs kennel is 3x3 and that’s for only one dog. Her closet is the same size as the kids area, and her makeup area is bigger than the dogs area. Bus life isn’t for your family if your stuff takes up more space than the rest of your family combined.
@@secretfruitrollup5132 exactly
exactly my thoughts too. i feel bad for her kids.
I don't get how this is minimalistic when there's so much extra stuff hanging and unnecessary decorations that could've been forgone and allowed for more room for kids and dogs.
I really don't think it is kid or pet friendly. Dogs do not like too be cooped up and need to move around too be healthy. That small space for six dogs? No. That is why you have air conditioning in there as they are most likely smashed together. The bedroom quarters for the kids is not feasible or realistic or enough room for them. Privacy too. They will outgrow it fast. No stove or oven is also not a good decision. Too me and my opinion looks like it was all tailored to the "woman" of the home. She gets the makeup space, the jewelry space and space for her 38 pairs of shoes and disney ear head bands and clothes. Yet the kids get one Bob each for their clothes and I didn't see any toy bins or anything for them. Nor any area for her husband and his hobbies. It would of been easier to have table to eat on that came apart easily so the family could eat together. She also gets a coffee station. It is all tailored to her and really to no one else. This is not a good use of space, kid or pet friendly and nor for the husband.
Dayuuuum just complaint after complaint for someone else's lifestyle. TF☹️🤦🏾♀️
But she needs space for her 38 pairs of shoes.
Sorry but you're projecting and judging only on assumptions. Like you totally miss the point of traveling in that people get outside and explore the world and thus don't need to be cooped up inside all the time. They're not going to be trapped in their home like you are! They'll all get much more fresh air, get real exercise as they explore all the different places they'll be going to, experience much more in their life than you could in a regular home, and feel like they are on an adventure the whole time because that's what they're doing!
Just because it's not for you means absolutely nothing to them, it's their lives and not yours! Get over it!
@@ZeoCyberG You completely missed the point of the OP.
Crafty Angells isn't projecting. Crafty Angells
was observing the woman's "all about herself" behavior. That is the way she comes across in this video.
@@jolliepoussey9 Sorry but no, statements based on only first impressions are only influenced by personal bias, which means projecting onto others things you have absolutely no idea are true or not. But people don't fall into actual stereotypes and there's many reasons 1st impressions can be wrong... I only mentioned a few like exercise, which traveling lifestyles provide in abundance, which the OP never considered... Not all pets require a lot of space either, or may prefer to get their exercise outside, making the interior irrelevant....
.
Fact is people will and do live differently from each other. People are diverse and what's best will vary person to person. Go around the world and you will find countless different lifestyles and norms from what you are used to... Keep that in mind the next time you think it's justified to judge people you don't even know and say things about them you would never say in person!
This is awesome but I just want to ask how the kids are going to feel about the small spaces when they start to grow up? Great video by the way!
They're going to hate it, as most teens would. This is child abuse.
You can clearly see what the priorities are on this bus; her, her, and of course, her.
I was looking for this comment. Yikes.
fr... not even her kids. she just wanted to be different with the "bus life" not thinking about anyone but herself..
Yes!!! You are so right! With all that extra space "for her" kids could've had each their own room not cubby holes!!
Right....and she's so annoying, too.
@@stargazng “give the kids their space” … WHAT SPACE!?!? Like DAMN!!?? That made me so sad when she said how it “looks cool”… that’s all she worried about. Not how comfortable those poor kids are. Makes me feel terrible
This pretty young woman does not look like a bus life life person. Looks very "cityfied"! Very nice bus.
Also everything seems to revolve around the high maintenance mom.
Angela A I am definitely “high maintenance”, but when you work hard for everything you have, you should be able to buy the things, do the things, and keep the things that make you happy 😊 Thank you for Watching!!
For a little girl, I wish you gave her choice of bed, not to be stucked in the middle. Apart of having one draw box for her clothes together with 2 more for her brothers there is nothing extra for her. Your hubby has little, so do boys... yet you are woman, you worked for it and you deserve 1/3 of space of the bus for storage, what about your daughter, honey, special mom with all you deserve to be well and i understand shoes and clothes and fashion, but what about your daugther to be mini you...
@@Beingbethunes I just realized my comment was rude. I don't even know you personally so, I'm sorry for the assumption I made. On another note; you guys have a beautiful home.
Agree! ☹️🙄
This sure needs a lot of money....
It’s all about you, you and you! Big bedroom, wardrobe, dressing table. Feeling sad for the kids and dogs!
And husband you misandrist.
@ bro They weren’t excluding him they were just saying that the mom is selfish
That’s exactly what I was thinking. She has a King size bed and lots of room to put her stuff in but the kids and dogs have barely anything. Seems cruel to me
@@katelovell625 we have a same opinion
And? At least they aren’t homeless and sleeping on the streets🙄. These are kids how much do they need?
So each of the kids have a tiny box for their clothes and she has a huge closet, makeup station and huge dresser? Wth
Yep, she's clearly selfish.
@Gloria Sheppard lol you clearly don't understand the concept that criticism or disapproval does not equal jealousy.
While I do think the kids need more clothing space, I would not call that a huge closet or dresser.
Dayna Bailen for an even its huge
Honestly the kids have a lot of stuff already like a. Tv in their bed a huge screen to play video game soo I guess it makes sence and I guess it’s just u sorry if this sounds mean
6 dogs, all about her, walking advertising, totally annoying, oh her gold fixtures
Same vibes. Im just too curious with how they stored everything to get idea for my future little house but it was torture hearing her voice all the way to their king sized bed. Ughwhkll.
@@misse1071 I remember this woman, she was so angry with what I said, so she responded to me, nasty. but I don't care. It was there for the whole world to see the hot mess and her drama.
Why did they cram 3 bunks in that space. They could have easily kept the bunk where the desk is and put storage for childrens clothes under. I think privacy and more space for kids is more important than office space. Especially now that there are ipads and laptops, desktops are not a necessity. I rarely studied at a desk anyway and turned out fine 🙄
Because it was custom built for them, not you. Please do share your custom build when you are ready. I'd love to see it on this channel.
They needed the desk space for multiple things, so no, they could *not* have left a bunk there.
The chairs are not the best for posture, but they are way better than people sitting slouched on the sofa.
@@globetrotting2628 go bore someone else, I give my opinion cuz it's right here on the channel for everyone to see and comment on and doing whatever the hell they please. Thanks:) and apparently more people agree with me
@@wendyannh they ll do that anyway, with or without a desk.
@@Roxjetlagged I give my opinion, too. Check mate!
Watching this video actually made me feel sad for their 3 kids and also dogs but mainly the kids. 😥 How can this parents/ mother prioritize her own make-up/ her own closet/ and her office rather than her own kids’ comfort. 😪😔😟 I feel very sad for them and the dogs too. Please try to give your kids more comfy space and a good enough space for their clothes too. It seems like only you and your husband is living comfortably in your bus with your huge bed and closet space. 😞😞😞
Yeah, six dogs when you are traveling with 3 kids already, that's a bit much.
DeAnn Padelo Exactly. 😕
don't forget about the husband. this bus seems to be about everything she "needs"
Fully disagree. This mama is raising a huge family on the road providing a childhood i only dreamt of. Their backyard may be a national park today and the pacific northwest coast next week. Feel sorry for us! Not them. Let the woman have her shoes. Geez
I don't know about you but I linked the video to CPS. Hope they take her kids.
WAIT so they have 2 CLOSETS while there children have a box for there clothes and littrely LIVE IN A HOLE LIKE WHAT!!!
The woman said that they "really had to downsize" which is a total lie.
Although this is a LOVELY home... I think its a little too small ( 350 square feet is what she said ) for Family of not really 5 but 11 when you include the fur babies.
Those poor kids and those poor dogs - sheesh I could never subject my family to that. If it was just me and my Husband maybe - but not my kids. That is unfair to them, to be forced to move from place to place - they cant make any friends, at least not lasting friendships. All I really took away from this was that its all about the mother and not much else.
You don't know what you're talking about. There are millions of military kids and other nomadic kids who build awesome relationships on the move. The research is out there. But this particular mom is disgusting.
She should have gave them more room to grow they won’t be 5-10 forever
So the kids have to sleep in a hole in the wall? But then she gets to have all the space for this and that? Wtf... 🤦♀️
If I was the kid I would not be happy!!
especially if I was the daughter who got stuck in the middle of her 2 brothers??
Well look how unhappy the children look! Speaks volumes!!
but at least they got to pick out their own wallpaper...lol
One of the more off-putting videos I've seen on this channel. It felt like an ad for HER. Disappointed.
I would love this for a newly married couple who have no plans for kids 😅 it’s beautiful but not a place to raise a kid in
I feel like I would only ever RV part time… I’m not “high maintenance” really, but I LOVE my house… I got it becuase it had EVERYTHING WE ALL wanted/needed (well mostly).. husband has his own office/Man cave. I have my own space. Plus enough room for kids to have their bedrooms, and an upstairs loft/living area just for them. Garage is big enough for craft room, and home gym, plus hubby’s motorcycle. I caught a lot of flack from people “ohh you’re just boogee, why do you need a house that big”? Why not? I’m entitled to have nice things… our other house was decent. But we outgrew it… and it’s not about needing it’s what we WANTED. But I think it would be cool to travel in off season etc. but I would want a camper/rv thats suitable for all of us to be comfortable in.
Parents: big king bed, private space.
Kids: 3 little cubby holes to sleep and get away from everyone.
The shoes, jewelry and clothes get a better space than the kids.
my thoughts exactly.
The experience and family closeness will serve those kids better than big bedrooms
Yup, I agree. I can’t see how six dogs would live comfortably in that kennel, I think it’s cruel. Two dogs, maybe, but not six!
Even the space for the three kids was ridiculously small, you could already tell that they can’t even sit up right in bed.. I just can’t see this conversion being a long term thing, they’re going to grow out of it so quickly because their kids future needs/wants were never met - but I guess it’s ok as long as mum and dad have a king size bed and plenty of storage for all their own belongings, who cares about the kids, right? 💁♀️🙄
Barbi Button No one is saying they need big bedrooms but they barely have any storage for their clothes or things they want
theatremusician It’s what I thought. And all that space for a game when the children could have gotten a proper space.Ridiculous.
All I could think about was those poor children and dogs. They have no room! They can’t even sit up in their beds! They get one shoe container for their clothes?! Where are the toys?! And those poor dogs.... just unreal. Your priorities are your own big clothing/ shoes/ ears/ makeup/ storage and king size bed?! Gross and cruel. I hope you see these comments and get some sense about you.
My thoughts exactly!!🤢 She's a narcissistic gross person, that isn't hardly a mother! Mothers put their children's needs & wants first. Most bus tours that I see that have children make it about the comfort of the children and it's so heartwarming to see. This woman is a complete opposite. Very pretentious and is trying to glamorize herself!
Thank you for watching and commenting! Happy Travels!! 🚎❤️
What an awful, hateful person
456pickupstixs Hardly a mother? U ppl are crazy
456pickupstixs THEY GET TO TRAVEL AND EXPLORE
Continental 50 states. Have fun driving that bus to Hawaii.
@mstressMew that sure would be an adventure, wouldn’t it?! 😊
Yeah, I caught that too.
MstressMew ferries exist
Ha ha, I was waiting for that comment. Thought: ok lady, you do that😂😂
Her: Plenty of food storage! *Reveals a single loaf of bread and some instant potatoes*
Me: I don't think that word means what you think it means...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
They may live small... which is saving money but she is very high end! Gold sink, fixtures and a $500+ Dyson hair dryer!😆 they know where to scrimp. Priorities! Do they have tcup chihuahuas? 6 dogs in that tiny kennel? No! Unless they are tiny there’s no way. I have 2 boxers and there’s no way.
Update: i saw they have 3 big dogs an 3 small dogs...they still must be on top of each other in that kennel. 5 people and 6 dogs in 350sf bus? Thats a little much
Not to mention the expensive ass mlm "healthy" shakes
This is old but also the kids sleep in a coffin but the parents get a king size bed in a private room.
@Victoria George yea, and when the kids get older and need more privacy what will happen then?
Exactly. What are they thinking living in a bus with 3 kids and 6 dogs??? Like what??
selfishness
She was really trying to sell that the dogs love the kennel... I’m going to bet that they hate it. Lol.
Well, she said "trust me", so it has to be true. Right?😉
@@AtomicCoal of course of course!
Yep. No dog loves to be locked up. And those poor kids don’t even have a window in their tiny space. She is so annoying.
I just think that 6 dogs is a bit much. I feel bad for them. Beautiful tiny home. But the dogs.. ya. That unfortunately did bother me too
@@mitchybee8258 ikrr? 6 dogs is still a lot even in a “normal” house, never mind a motor home 😵
I love Tiny Home Tours, I like and learned a lot on this build but...........the “I” factor was unbelievable
This family is wonderful and both do an equal share.
Yup. She's selfish. Clearly narcissistic.
@@456pickupstixs seriously? Right. You must know her completely from a 20min video....it was her husband's idea to go tiny, they did it together. She obviously had a big hand in the decorating process. It is HER home too.
Why have the dogs more place than the children?
@@456pickupstixs Spot on!
I love how she is still stylish and glam on the go😂😂Dyson hair dryer.Yes exactly.I think I'd be the stylish dude on the go.Dad got a little swag too.🤣Very impressive home.
I feel like she missed the whole point of getting minimal.... the kids basically have such a tiny size space for them whereas she has a lot of space.. bless them all
There is no such thing as personal space when you’re a mom
Those kids basically have nothing! I was really upset when she said she had 30 pairs of shoes when the kids have 1 box of clothes each.
"No personal space when you're a mom" that has nothing to do with this topic. I get it, as a mom u have kids all over u all day every day... U really didn't even see these kids throughout the whole video and i bet it's because all their clothes r old and worn out while she looks all pretty. I'm tilted by how these kids have 1 box of clothes each. There's nothing worse to me than a parent that looks nice when their children look scrappy. And that's coming from a parent of a little girl and a big brother of 2 younger brothers. They always looking fly before me, off my dollars, off my hard earned sweat. Period
Different strokes for different folks I suppose. I live in a very small farm house. for the four of us there are two bedrooms so those were given to my kids. They have a quiet room and a party room
Your right doesnt look like mama lost anything ,
But they do have the wide open outdoors 🌞😊😉
I like all the storage spaces .... The dresser is cool ... Under the king bed awesone ....i like it
Dang this has convinced me that I would be able to handle bus life ... I think I have about 10 pairs of shoes and 0 micky ears 😂

Awesome video. Your family is beautiful and I appreciate that you didn't compromise your needs/wants.
You guys did a fantastic job at balancing function, fun and style!!

im sure there will be nights when the kids will jump into the parents bed if they are anything like mine were!

Dogs don't need a lot of space but honestly 6 dogs in that tiny space? Haha... no thanks
The pro's: Awesome bus/home, she has great taste. Nice voice not annoying and she's pretty- New career she should be doing house tours she's able to keep her audience engaged. Cons: Totally designed for her, she really didn't consider her family needs (selfish). Kids and pets have no space not to mention her poor husband but he's probably just happy he gets to look at her all day. Kids have no privacy (what happens when they hit puberty, especially the girl who will have feminine products she doesn't want brothers to see) or space for toys or maybe instruments anything to discover their creativity. She needs to get rid of 5 out of her six dogs . I have 2 pitbulls and 2 chihuahuas who have a 10x10 room all to themselves and over half an acre to run around. This tiny home was poorly designed since she only considered her needs. I hope she will reconsider and redesign the home putting her children's needs/ comfort/ privacy before her's.
Thank god for these folk with out them we would not have been able to find gabby as quick as we were! God bless you all and you cameras without you the Schmidt’s and petitos would have suffered longer without gabby! So from the bottom of my heart thank you

JIMIN.. ❤️💜
i actually disagree with everyone saying she's unbearable. i read a LOT of the comments saying she's a narcissist, she doesn't care about her kids or dogs, she only says "i", she takes up all the room, etc. true, her voice might be a little cringey, but she's probably nervous, and she's not really too in control of that anyway (somewhat). she says "we" WAY more than "i", and she HAS to say "i" sometimes because she did a LOT of the planning, shopping, and designing! she's just talking about her experience. and personally being the mom of 5 dogs of all sizes (who are my absolute life and i'd never do anything to make them uncomfortable) - it's totally believable that 6 tiny dogs are comfortable in that huge kennel, mine would all snuggle up and be fine, honestly. also - she doesn't have THAT much space that's just hers, she shares most of it. a TINY cupboard behind the toilet for her makeup? one wall smashed at the back of her closet for her jewelry? people are really picking on her. she's just a different kind of person, be tolerant. she talked a lot about how much she downsized and how hard it was for her, she's trying. she'll get better. everyone is being supercritical, and i just want to remind our community that it is REALLY hard for most americans to make the switch to minimalism. we're taught MORE MORE MORE, and that can be a really hard habit to break. WE SHOULD, don't get me wrong. i do NOT agree with the american mindset we're all brainwashed into. we should all be working on our rampant consumerism and sizeist attitudes. but, i think she's doing great. at least she's trying, which is WAY more than a lot of people. her kids have bunks (as a touring musician i have lived in those bunks and there's plennnnnty of space for them) and they're still little and short so they can easily reach their clothes under the desk... i think she did a great job of maximizing their space and being smart about it. the kids will grow, she will grow and become less materialistic and create more space for them, the dogs will still be small, everything will be fine. sorry for the rant - it's just so disheartening to click on these videos and seeing our community tearing people apart for trying.
Thank you so much!!!! The hateful comments were unbearable to watch, I only came on today because we are filming a “reading mean comments video” for our channel. I’m actually really glad I did come on to see your comment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being what this world needs more of ❤️
Y'all, she's down to 38 PAIRS OF SHOES...what a sacrifice. Wow. She really does need an award, she can stop patting herself on the back that way. I've been watching quite a few tiny home/van life/bus conversion videos lately and I think this is officially the one I hate the most. My first downvote of the ones I've seen. This is her vanity project, everyone else is an after thought and a prop. She made a comment about needing a king size bed because everyone piles in to that---it's because they don't have any room anywhere else! I feel like this is a family who shouldn't be tiny house/bus living. Those kids are going to outgrow those tiny little cubie beds in just a few years.
I love your Bus.You all look so happy and I give u credit you keep yourself up w 3 kids and 6 dogs is alot of work.It looks so cozy and just like a home.Im happy for u all.
The mom:
“We needed a dresser”
“I needed a make up space”
“I needed an office”
“I needed a coffee station”
“I needed a king size bed”
“I needed a closet”
The kids:
“It’s tons of storage they each have there own bin for clothes and a crapped bunk bed”
ikr
@ZAKIYAH DEPINA why do these parents even have kids if they act like they don't want them? The bar is in hell
and the I have 6 nasty dogs and a special kennel for them part doesn't smack of self importance either. She's unique. Wouldn't want to be her kid, as it seems she cares more about herself and her dogs than her kids.
@@DarkSeraphGurl , right. And I bet it smells like shit on that bus from those dogs. This woman is a CLOWN 🤡.
LMAO
Wow! It's the most luxurious bus I've ever seen. All the gold accents, the countertop...
144 pairs of shoes?! Good lord! 🙈 I have 5 pairs of shoes. And to me that is a lot!
HAD 144 prs
Haha, no, before downsizing I had 144 pairs 😊
Nothing wrong with having as many shoes as you want! I use to be a shoe collector, too. I'm down to about 14 pairs now.
Red White & Bethune an Average American Family I have never counted mine, but I’m sure I’m closer to 144 than 38! Kudos to you for being able to whittle down both your shoes and clothes, because I don’t think I could! I have a huge walk-in closet packed to the gills and still a couple of big stacks of stuff that won’t fit. I finally had to move my evening clothes and a few other things I wear less often into another closet, but it’s full of office things and life storage.
wendyannh it was actually REALLY cathartic to downsize and get rid of things you don’t use/need. From a young age, I have always loved shoes! I did bring a pair of Ice Cream shoes on the road, just to wear vacuuming 🤣🤣 but they make me happy and that’s what matters!
@thelostbells had the BEST one I’ve seen . The kids had a play area and their own section of the bus ! She’s didn’t maximize the space and prioritized her make up .
I don’t think they live in this bus at all, maybe the vacation in it but I think it’s j mainly used for her vlogs
Kids: get a bucket for there cloths
Parents: get half the RV
Clearly, her priorities are....HER! Watching this made me want to vomit.
Parents! You mean the mom gets 3 quarters of the bus husband got 3 shirts!
She did say that "the hubby only wears a couple of button up shirts, anyway, so it's okay. "😆 lol
These kids can’t even sit up in there beds and 6 dogs in 1 kennel? Who travels full time with 6 dogs? I’ve seen plenty of these videos and so many others make it work so the kids have enough space and the parents do to.
Yeah. I did feel sorry for the kids, esp the one at the bottom of the bunk. I dont feel really at ease. They have compromised the kid's space for other not so special points. 😬😬
And the way she clarified the safety and convenience of the dogs rather than her children disappointed me.
Fantastic bus. Everything in its own place. Your kids are obviously very well behaved.

i like her.... she is full of life... happy, funny and entertaining..
6dogs? Looks like most of the space on this bus is dedicated to her!?!?!?
Glad you could fit your kids. WOW.
Cool bus with lots of ideas. So sad to see such negative comments. Clearly, she is proud of what they created and is eager to share with others and they probably plan on trying to earn $$ sharing their journey across the U.S. on social media. Kids sleep space might seem small to some, but they have the whole world outside to enjoy. Maybe they are better off than kids who have a large room to themselves yet rarely leave it. And the dogs looked small so I was not concerned about the size of the kennel. Good luck on your journey!!
Wow! Funkiest living bus and family I have come across so far! Absolutely fantastic!!!😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍💕💕💕💕
I know they still have a house somewhere. I can just tell this is not enough for her. Lol
She seems like the type of influencer mom who fakes everything for views and won't admit that her kids secretly hate her lol she's in denial
😂😂😂😂😂
And how can she have a real Plumming toilet 🚽 lol this car is probably parked in her garden next to her hugs house lol
I'm obsessed with these Van/Bus make overs! Binge watching! 🤗
I love the Bethune family! I had so much fun getting to know this wonderful couple and their sweet children. They really turned a vision into reality by creating this dream bus conversion. Every aspect of this build was designed with intention. Such an inspiration!
And their kids? LIVING THE LIFE! :) How amazing that they each had a part in the build/creation of their home! Not many kids have that special opportunity. This family is doing life right! So excited to follow their travels!
Ok, I’m just a kid, but when I grow up, I wanna live in a bus with my friends! It sounds crazy, but now I’m kinda motivated to do it!
Shes super cute, and you can tell she takes pride in her family and this creation. Yall some haters lol confidence on 1000 and she seems like she has a sweet spirit, the house is beautiful. i love it. Good for yall 🤟🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Real pride! sticks her kids in a bunk to live and all their belongings in little boxes, mean while her clothes get actual cubic feet. Shes cute? More like Cruella devill,im sure her 6 dogs feel the same way. I have a 100% feeling your gay and just as self absorbed!
Y'all have forgot that there is storage in the basement of the bus. When you live this lifestyle with kids, they play outside a lot. Dogs too I hope. They more than likely have lots of toys in the basement. And I'm sure a lot of you think that's just horrible. However, even in a large house kids can string toys from one end of the house to the other. And who gets to clean it up Mom. Been there done that. I think you build your rig to how you live. And this seems to be the way they live. I love the lay out. And as the kids get bigger I'm sure things will change. Life is always changing. Go with it.
Thank you for your sweet words!! We love watching you guys!! You are also very right, the kids have all of their toys in our basement and unfortunately, that footage didn’t make the video.
Thank you and I figured it got left out. I know that basement is crucial to y'all's existence. Enjoy !
Love how it looks so welcoming and like a real house. Love the white, greenery and gold touches. Looks modern and minimalistic to me! Great job!!!
...oh wow had to pause at cows in the bathroom -huge yay from me...so epic how y'all took what's special to your fam (including mom's gold sink) and carefully thought out how to include these things...huge props to prioritizing cozy while exploring ...
👏👏👏 BRAVO on the shoe downsizing....wish me luck...
I only have 5 pairs. There’s just no need for that many when people r starving to death amd animals being put down for no reason other then space....donate money towards them. Some states even still use the gas chamber to kill them. Idk I’ve just always put others first, like my kids needs and pets, etc.... Donating to charity is also important.
I think this is very smart to save money and actually their is a lot of space as well for everything and everyone.
I love her funky/mismatched style! So fun.... a great bus! 💖🌸
I love the white and gold. This is the cutest
The size of the kids spaces are unbelievably small. Poor kids. And the dog kennel! I usually love these tours but this build is centered around her, not the rest of the family. They sacrificed everything, she sacrificed nothing!
ronnie Stevenson I agree.. I normally love these tiny home tours but this one was weird. How do you minimize your children's space for your own comfort or having 6 dogs in a small kennel. It seems no producer watched this episode before posting it. Very disturbing
Hey here husband was feeling on his ring like hopefully this A.C saves my marriage she must got that🏊♀️
The Bethune’s are amazing!!!! Love their bus and story!
Omg its so adorable, it is a cool idea to have a bus home, can be accessible to workplace or do a makeshifttents for business and leisure. So family can always be accessible. Covid devastated everybody, so work availability has become more and more scarce. Bus house is super ideal I want too hopefully 🥰🥰🥰
Those poor kids, their spaces look like coffins. This lady is super selfish and annoying.
kids like things like that
i mean i’d think it was cool
Kids don’t need as much “sleeping space” as society forces you to believe. There’s been many studies done that have seen kids much more mentally stable as adults if they slept in a twin size bed or smaller 👍
When you are that young you do not require a room, just a place to sleep. Those kids are happy and healthy.

You may think I’m annoying, but I’d rather be annoying than a guy with an anger problem spewing hate about a family I didn’t even know 👍
Best wishes to you! Happy Travels! 🚎😀
That bus is soooooo cute I love it
I hope Amazon is sponsoring you as many times as you mentioned them😂🤣
Simply Adorable! THANKS for sharing
I’m a younger grandmother raising two grandkids. How could I earn money on the road so I can show them all around the states?

Fantastic family,fantastic story. Wish you all the best. Greetings from Serbia
This tells me I can definitely do bus life as long as I can have all the stuff she has with her on her bus I’ll be good to go! 💖😂🙌🏻
She is a natural in front of a camera!! The bus is beautiful, we have the same in taste in designing😍👍
I've been watching a whole lot of these videos, and this one is so cringy. The spaces for the kids and the dogs is insanity compared to the space that the woman claimed. One tiny storage bin each for clothes while the mom gets a full closet and dresser? One pair of shoes each while she has over 30? All of their toys piled into bed with them while she gets closets and dressers and makeup spaces and bathroom storage? Beds designed so the kid on top has to step on the bunk on bottom to get into bed? Tiny beds that absolutely will not offer space enough for them, but the parents get a massive king sized bed?
It doesn't feel like RV living is really for this woman, and it felt more like her husband, kids, and dogs had to do 90% of the sacrificing to facilitate this change.
I am not a fan of Disney but I am a fan of your bus. Turned out beautiful!! Definitely has the homey feeling & it's obvious that all of you are happy in it. The blue sets off the white nicely with the gold. I prefer silver but the gold absolutely works. There's nothing negative I can even think of with your bus. Beautiful!!
I love how she speaks! She will make a good talk show host or host on HGTV or a lifestyle show host😊
Honestly the wife seemed like a a snob and stuck up honestly
Thanks for watching! Happy Travels!! 🥰🚎
@@Beingbethunes are the dogs really okay there? It seems so sad
I imagine the kids are loving their beds/area space. It looked pretty cozy for each one and each bed had their unique stamp on it. When I was a kid, I loved the tent/cave feel. Those children are adorable. The dogs are most likely people/kid dogs. ..they're happy when spending time with their humans. All dogs want are food, love and exercise.
I grew up in a 790 sq ft house . 3 bedrooms, kitchen, living room, Bathroom, utility room and a 3 ft by 3 foot furnace room. 2 brothers shared a room, my sister and I slept in the same bed till I left home at 18. As we grew, so did our needs and wants. As we had no end goal in mind, we lived our lives to just live life till we got older and left the nest. This family has a goal to visit all 50 U.S states... and in this very nice 🚌 they are giving it their best shot to live a dream. I imagine as time passes and kids get older; their future goals will change too.
Awkward
A lot of fun, very cute place. I loved the white and gold!
I like the little drawers for your sunglasses I need to do that I’m always losing or breaking mine
These drawers are awesome!! We bought them on Amazon!
@@Beingbethunes I’m sure u did.
Loved everything about this.
That's a huge bedroom and kids can't even sit up in their beds? Seems like mama only care about herself
I dont think the kids mind ours always built forts to hide out in this is just one better!
I agree she cares only for herself
@@hireforeign9900 building fort in a large room and always staying like that are not same. As one point kids or anyone will want to stand or sit up
“Me, me, me, me..” that’s what I got outta this video
This woman is glamorous, I live
Thank you!!
One of my favorite bus tiny house verry relaxing view and 100% beautiful tiny house bus
Absolutely gorgeous! I'm at the beginning of converting a bus for my daughter and I and I'm so looking forward to the adventure! I love seeing other families enjoying just being together, there'll come a time all too soon where the children grow up and move on (as my eldest 3 have), and I wish I'd been able to do this with them years ago and spend more quality time with them, rather than being spread out separately over a huge house.
Congratulations on such a beautiful and functional home that your whole family clearly love. And ignore the nay-sayers, your kids will have the best memories and you're doing an amazing job as parents giving them this opportunity
Red, White and Bethune you ROCK!!!!!
Great job!! She is adorable. Hope she goes far. God Bless.
Wow, these comments are harsh. I get it, I don't live that life either, but the kids are small and they get to live an adventure. And mom is just doing her best.. this video was to show off their space.. that's what she was doing. And who has seen a house where the master bedroom isn't the biggest room?
Thank you!! Unfortunately people don’t take the time to realize that this is a 20 minute TOUR video. If they’d go watch the videos we make on our channel, they would see all the storage space under the bus for the kiddos and how much time we DONT spend cooped up inside.
Thank you for watching!!
