    I love the RV window installs. It makes it feel more like a home vs just a bus. Great job Kyle! VERY impressive!👍

    Honestly, I've never really even considered a Schooly convertion. However, I must say that I'm really impressed with the job you did! Well done sir !

    Great job, everything you need and it looks comfortable and homey. That's so important, I see so many conversions that have no warmth and look junky, you definitely did a wonderful job.

  • @davidmorris8319
    @davidmorris8319 7 лет назад +1

    I really like this one! I especially like the table and seats since most busses don't have any hard seats, just a couch and beds. Only big minus for me is the lack of a shower

  • @sandrasignorelli5960
    @sandrasignorelli5960 5 лет назад +1

    Marvelous job! You should consider a career designing and remodeling school buses for others. You'd make great money. 😊

      heck he could just make the modular components and sell them... for example make the dining table and chairs and sell them as a set ready to install... the sofa folding bed as well as an individual component that can be purchased individually.

  • @angelrenate
    @angelrenate 5 лет назад +1

    The bathrooms on these are usually so cramped. He did a good job with his layout in general, but that bathroom made me happy.

  • @sandrabradley3703
    @sandrabradley3703 2 года назад

    I totally agree with you Michael Vaugh. He was brief and to the point. Others have shown every little irrelevant item on their bus. I have fast forwarded many times due to the unnecessary chatter. The shower itself he didnot show. Otherwise I give him a 97% for his bus which is simple, tidy and totally relevant. Congrats, young man.

  • @jenniferschaefer265
    @jenniferschaefer265 7 лет назад +108

    This young man needs to be designing for RV manufacturers. I am not sure if he has an Industrial Design degree but his design aesthetic is much more sophisticated than what is available with (most) current RV design.

    • @btrswt35
      @btrswt35 7 лет назад +8

      Jennifer Schaefer Someone doesn't need to have an industrial design degree to understand good layout and functionality. Whatever the case, he did a good job.

    • @Frantic618
      @Frantic618 7 лет назад +8

      Most RV Mfg companies don't want good design or good sense, they want cheap-junk, complicated and stuff that breaks down before you get it home. That's why so many people are repurposing schoolies & building vardos -- they're far less expensive, designed better, don't fall apart, and they can repair the rig themselves. This fellow did a nice job, and thought things out.

    • @pahzplace7853
      @pahzplace7853 6 лет назад +2

      Most of the RV designs that I've saw is horrible! I always feel like I'm in Home Depot with all the gaudy tiling designs/backsplashes and wooden cupboards everywhere. Maybe that is why some of these companies that cater to designing these school buses for others are the go to now. As there is so many ways/directions you could go to produce a strong, efficient and comfortable space that you will enjoy.

  • @sonyablade1534
    @sonyablade1534 7 лет назад +3

    He's so casual about his genius conversion. IMPRESSED!

    • @pahzplace7853
      @pahzplace7853 6 лет назад

      because I don't think that everyone is really thinking about impressing others with what they've created/done for themselves. To reap from whatever seeds you've sown is a pleasure when you're doing it for you vs doing it for attention/recognition, whatever else............

    Kyle, I've seen plenty of videos of school bus conversions and I really like yours the most. Hands down. Nice, toned down colors through your using wood throughout. Well done, pal!
    One question: Is that a bottle of betadine at your sink? 😉

  • @AnnaLVajda
    @AnnaLVajda 6 лет назад +1

    Nice craftsmanship I like that duel tone woodworking at the front ceiling area too. Could use a womans touch I would like to put some throw cushions and things around but really good storage ideas and that fold up shotgun seat is smart too.

  • @gumbyhunter

    @CiecieNewson 7 лет назад +49

    This is one of the best conversions I've seen. I could see myself in a bus made like this. I almost like it better than a tiny house. I didn't see a shower situation so I assume you do that at a gym or YMCA etc. This bus is comfy and roomy and aesthetically pleasing. ~Smile!

      you're right, I didn't see a shower either. But now that I'm thinking, he sounded like he was all about saving/using minimal of water

  • @eddiedoezit6751
    @eddiedoezit6751 6 лет назад

    What I love is that when you have a guest over and you both are asleep (you in your bed in the back and the guest in the bed in the front) ... if someone has to go to pee in the middle of the night... you don't have to go through the area where the other one is sleeping.... also I love that the bathroom is contained..... I have seen buses where the toilet is just right out in the open.... I need my privacy... so love that.... and I love that the bedroom in the back is somewhat separate from the rest of the bus... You thought of everything... I love it... I am thinking about doing this.... but I am just scared as hell... lol ... I am scared that I will spend all the time buying and fixing up a bus, move in, and then not like it... but I am a minimalist, so I think I could do it!!! I am currently debt free and my bills are only about $750 a month... I live in a really small apartment.. around 450 square feet.... and I mostly use one room on a regular basis... of course the bathroom and the kitchen ... but really, I am mostly in the living room... I don't even sleep in my bedroom.... I prefer the couch... lol ... So I feel like I am paying rent for a place that I don't use much... and I want a change.... IS THERE ANYTHING YOU COULD TELL ME TO EASE MY MIND AND ASURE ME THAT YOU LOVE YOUR BUS... WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT IT "DOES" FOR YOU... FINANCIAL FREEDOM, FREEDOM TO TRAVEL, MINIMALIST LIVING A MINIALIST'S LIFE, ADVENTURE... What are the good things about living the bus life!!! Thank you for posting this video and if you want to respond please do. However, don't feel like you have to... you probably get all kinds of people asking questions... thanks again.

      It's an International School bus, manufactured by International. You'll find their logo on the left side of the front grill in bright orange. If we hold hands and walk around, you'll find many windows don't work and that Jesse was here; the bus might be in its original color or painted black to help guide his father ... Be-El-ZaBub.

    On a blog, he mentioned it is also powered by Vegetable oil... 😱 emaculate design, looks open than cramped and messy like most I've seen. I just wonder ... what happens if your bus breaks down? With no cell service in the middle of nowhere. 😐
