Great build. I agree. Do it while you’re young. Unfortunately I am from the generation that spent time camping in RV’s but living in them was pretty much unheard of. Now that I’m older, my health isn’t what I wish it was so I’m pretty much grounded. It’s a shame really because i’ve been plagued by an “adventure bug” my whole life. Live large!!
Hugs
Just LOVE see people fulfilling their dream ❤
I have fulfilled mine; being away from you 😂
I love your bus! So well thought out and beautiful! Such a charming couple.
What a lovely young couple! I love EVERYTHING about this bus. So beautiful: countertops, stair tiles, the table! 😍 Great job. Enjoy!
Congratulations on the new of a baby on the way. So happy for the two of you. Best parenting advice is to make sure your never too busy to love and care for each other. Kids always do the best when they see mum and dad in love, and caring for each other.
That is excellent advice 😊
I’m guessing these wonderful well wishes are for Jenna?? 🩷🩷🩷
Good for them choosing a lifestyle that's right fir them! Great job on the bus, even if they'd do a few things differently... it's working.
Trellis frame, genius.
Great idea with the pillow storage!!!
Not my thing, but to each his/her own. Great job building it out, but I could not do this long term.
Gorgeous build. Really like the photo table and entry steps. Good success to you two, and stay safe.🌹
Love Billie the bus 🚐 have a beautiful life and a safe journey God bless ❤️
Your hack for making the slides on the upper cabinets (using the trellis frames) is genius! 😮 I love 💗 that! You did a fantastic job on the whole bus build. Enjoy the open road. ❤
This build is perfect for many reasons. Maybe a bit heavy,but love the shower toilet set up.
Love the 3 window look..very original. Very cool bus! I’ll be doing mine in 2024. Cheers from Montana!
The photos on that table look great the way it is, kind of "old timey" teehee. :)Great job on the entire build.
GREAT JOB………ITS NICE YOU WERE ABLE TO HAVE A TOILET AND SHOWER………HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU………ENJOY YOUR LIVES AND STAY SAFE………♥️
Ok I always watching this channel but I really love the intro music! Good job!
Thank you!
I love the way your bus turned out! Great job! The design and colors work really well! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful build. Love your home 🤩
If I were roughing it, or a weekend camping trip, I might use something like this. But never to live in full time. The bathroom and refrigerator situation is a deal breaker.
Awe such a lovely couple. Their bus is gorgeous!
My goodness, you scaled the side of that bus like a spider. Good for you tho......that'll work!
Nice bus. Marcelo is from Brazil, he was a professional skater, he won some big competitions. His english is quite good in my opinion.
Yes!!! His English and his skateboarding are pretty impressive 😉
Very beautiful bus safe travels always
Great bus, great people, some excellent ideas. Thank you!
You do the most interesting tiny homes and unique builds!!!! I have now followed you for years!
Thank you!!!
What a great couple you are!! I love your outlook on life= doing what makes you happy!!! That is so important!!! Your bus is beautiful ~ enjoy every moment of every day! Sending you light, love, peace, joy and abundance always. I love you.
I loved watching what you've done. Continue with your fabulous life!
Love the Skoolie …❤ I also saw a house made of recycle materials and stones Cartagena Colombia planeta Juan ❤
Billy the buuus I love these guys 👊💙
We love you!
Great job. The fridge/drawer issue is not a problem at all. Life is a short bus!
I love that you guys have a video on Jenna's channel! We saw you in Florence, Oregon at the skate park. You're such a cute couple! What a fun adventure - good for you!
Aw, thanks so much!!!! We are loving Oregon, Florence was one of favorites!
Lovely bus! Really worried about him living in Texas, given all the craziness, guns, and from what I heard lately, the HEAT!
Stay safe in the USA, but so happy they're mobile and not locked down like most folks.
🙄
Nothing crazy here. People aren't running around shooting people or sticking them up lmbo.. Just simply the heat... They will not make it unless they have at the least 1 15.5k BTU Ac
Love the Reggae music has been playing in the background.
Life is short, especially if you're having fun. It is very long if you're not.

Amazing build. Because of their unique interior, they were able to utilize the spaces and looks so organized. 👏👏
You guys did a great job!
Totally awesome build. Wishing this couple fun and safe travels. :)
I have the same tiles on my kitchen backsplash that you have on your steps. I love them!
I can see why a couple would pick a skoolie, because you have a fair amount of space. But I don’t think I’d like the setup where you’re not sitting next to each other while driving. You did a great job with the build.
Trust us- the passenger seat was a big issue! We tried hard to find on that would fit, but it just wasn’t happening. We definitely miss riding side by side, but it’s just something to do different in the next build!
Hey, this tiny home was really nice. Happy Traveling ❤
Great bus! Very cozy too!
Guys i love how optimistic you are very refreshing
Love this couple and their beautiful bus! Here's to doing Life your way!
Great cosy bus, I liked the advice about 10 inches in the bed is too much 😅
Nice bike. BMX represent.
Love your skoolie! Hope you are having fun!
Hey guys, Nice bus! Being nosy, just curious, what do you do for a living while traveling?
i noticed something with your batteries which could be an expensive issue later. its called cross-connecting. witht he threee batteries hooked in parallel, you have the battery lead both connected to the same batteries. move one of the leads to the last terminal of the battery bank. this way you draw from all three batteries equally. so if battery one has the positive connected to it, then battery three should have the negative connected there. this forces all the batteries to act in unison, they charge better and last longer. your setup from what i could see draws a majority of its power from the first battery and lets the other two just supply additional current, they wont last long this way. now i only had about 2 seconds to see this so if your connections are already done this way no problem. im a rv tech and have been doing work like this for 26 years, before then i was a diesel tech and we use the same approach to multiple batteries. i do like your setup though and running entirely on electric-and making it work is great. if i were doing this, id wanna go propane but then where i live it gets a little chilly at night 5 months of the year.
Omg! Thank you so much for taking the time to share all of this info! We had just completed some “emergency” repairs and the battery area was a total mess. Wish we could have cleaned that up before the tour. We’ve made some changes since, though. Seriously, thank you so much.
Thanq for the video
At least with no steps, no thieves will get on top of your bus.
That resin unit is beautiful. The toilet and shower are a great idea. Your kitchen is great I love those taps. Only thing I'm not a fan off is sliding cupboard doors, I've got them & dislike them.
Awesome thanks for sharing!!✌️🇺🇲
Love the dining table and chairs.
Beautiful home. Lovely couple.
JUST finished my 5 window bluebird gas bus. I do NOT live in it FT - but really enjoy being in it & enjoying the travel. And yes they are convenient for camping mine is appx 20 ft long - can park in reg parking spot. Perfect for any Nat'l or State park
Love it, well thought out. An idea for the gap under the drawer(for the wheel well) could you get a pull out basket there? X
Nice work!
Beautiful!!!
I’d love to know more about those fabulous seats! I have a bus the same size as yours and I absolutely love your layout. I love all the best as I’ve seen and I’ve been looking for years I think, gonna tear mine out and start over.
Converting electricity to heat takes a lot of power.
Looks Amazing
Cute little bus ❤
This is so adorable
Very nice build!
Love your new house. I would love to get a bus and build me one like that
Wow great job
Current main stream lifes are like a mental prison? Agree! Best ever description... ❤. Well done to the brave ones living free! ❤❤❤❤
Love the bus!
not gonna lie, it looks like a very nice bus... but my gosh, I think my bedroom has more than 90 square feet, eek
Whow impressed withthe shower
love it!
Hi guys you did a great job with the build ,you utilised every bit of space so it all works well.
Regards from Hereford UK
Yes I love this
Very cute build! I don’t think I’ve seen one of these videos with so many regrets. Maybe it’s time to build one to your satisfaction. There are an awful lot of things you don’t seem to like.
We love our bus sooo much, but we learned a lot in the process and we are already ready to build another one and make it even better!
@@SalinaBastos I imagine the first build is 100% a learning experience. It just sounds like it’s time for this couple to do the same, and I bet it will be amazing!
Really nicely done, guys!
Ek is trots op julle Geniet julle vryheid Ek skoon jaloers Dankie dat julle dit vir ons wys❤
I like the idea of living in a bus but what do you do for security? if your bus is stolen, you lose your vehicle AND your home?
How often are you going to be leaving your home for more then a couple hours when you take it with you everywhere you go? Besides if you get away from other people out in the greater outdoors where it's quiet and you can really enjoy it there's no one around to take it.
17:34 saddest meal I’ve seen in a long time 😂 but beautiful build 🎉
I love the bus! I love the hippie attitude you both have on life! The gas mileage really sucks though. I guess not so bad if you have a couple ebikes to do your errands instead of starting up the gas guzzler.
The big buses get about 5, so we always remember that and try to stay thankful and keep in mind gas is basically our rent!
Bravo. Carpe Diem! Beautiful home!
Right on 😁
Finally got notified for videos again. RUclips is being weird.
Me too! I finally had to go to my scribe lists to find them. Today was the first time RUclips notified me again.
I would love a bus like yours. I would find a place to park it and landscape.
Door looks legit instead of house door. Use security glass film to stop smash ins. See Kurt and Snow Van tips.
I always wonder where these people park legally?
Sometimes it’s a challenge but we have a a great community full of resources
I have the exact bus that I am converting. I want to move the electrical from the front to the left side. How much trouble was it for you? Where did you move it too?
no matter which tiny home channel I watch, every time someone says they love to cook, the shot of the food is always grass with some bread..... lol or just grass and a drink....
Edit: always raw veggies too.. not even cooked for that matter lmao
Cute couple
Is there a bathroom? I couldn’t see
Goes inside 8:08
they still need money for food/gas etc? how do they get $$?
Can you support yourself as a professional skateboarder? What is the average length of a skateboarding career? How can anyone afford to run something that gets ten miles to the gallon of gasoline? (Especially with California gas prices.)
How do you buy a bus?
Very nice. What about adopting a cat?
Where is the bathroom¿
20,000.00 extra aside from the bus and u did most the labor!! Was much of that for engine or transmission work??!!
Rad!
how do you wash clothes?
Laundromats, or friends houses! In Baja they have the best laundry service- you drop it off and pick it up the next day beautifully sorted and folded!
🤩🤩😍😍🥰🥰😚😘😚😘
What do you mean "short bus".
So how do you pay for doctors if you break a leg?
Money
😊
