BUS TOUR | Impressive Shuttle Bus RV Camper Conversion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июн 2020
- John, Ina and their beautiful dog Abbie have traveled full time in their RV DIY homemade converted 2004 Ford E450 shuttle bus. They have traveled most of the USA and down into Mexico. In those video they provide a walk through tour of the inside and outside of the bus and go over the systems and features as well as the materials used for the construction. At the end of the video I ask common viewer questions.

Finally A REALISTIC ONE ☝️ WITH PEOPLE THAT DON’T have much money 💰 to build!!!
Exactly 👍🏽
❤️🙏🏼❤️
I love it!
Yes, I just got finished looking at a $50,000 Sprinter that had another $50,000 spent on materials while the owner and his father donated the labor. Beyond the reach of most Americans.
Carol Hewett you CAN get a mortgage on these...or a car loan that makeS it possible to finance your home. So it’s not out of reach of many.
I love that this is an amateur build by REAL people who don't feel the desire to have that pre-fabricated look! Great job you two!!! Love the bathroom... I have a 2006 shuttle bus that I'm building out, I just cut that giant empty bubble out of the fiberglass where you have your bathroom storage because I realized all the empty space was there. I love your layout so much I think I'm going to swap the positions of my bathroom and kitchen counter just like yours. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the fact it looks home made not ready ,professional made.Good job !
Best things they could add to that is a smoke alarm, fire blanket and extinguisher.
They also need a carbon monoxide alarm. Great Reno
True but since the place is so small if there was smoke they could smell it but I like the fire extinguisher
Especially since that candle is burning right next to a curtain!!
@@jilllindberg2670 fire/smoke alarms typically have a carbon monoxide alarm in them.
I love seeing crazy builds and I love seeing builds like this that took raw creativity with a budget. Awesome build and awesome experiences being made.
*These guys are the ultimate upcyclers! What a cozy, beach little hideaway!*
I love this starter. I believe they will learn what they need and they can make changes as they go. But it's great they started this life. Great build💜
I love that functionality supersedes form and aesthetics. They are more interested in the outdoors than the indoors but they seem to have everything they need. They are learning on the job, making do until something better comes along and they can tweak as they see the need. They made a good choice of vehicle too.
What a couple, they really seem to belong together. Finishing each other’s sentences😄
It probably shouldn’t have but that “What a couple” really tickled me pink 😭🤣
No, she’s rude! She doesn’t let him finish a sentence! Big difference….
im not an electrician, so who cares what i think but the bathroom scares me lol.
Why?
The wires near the shelves and between the wall and toilet. My ass would slip and pull something loose or shock myself all together
My thoughts also, water and electrical wires would worry me taking a shower.
Be careful
Safety first
Such a sweet and sincere couple. What a great job the two of you did on this build. I love that you guys are enjoying van life and were able to also reuse and up cycle so many different materials (keeping them out of our landfills). Patrick- you’ve always made good videos, they’ve always been informative but man you’ve really grown (as a videographer and interviewer) a lot over the past couple of years. I am enjoying your more laid back approach, allowing the interviewees to tell you about their build and only speaking up if they’re going too fast or might be skipping important things. Then coming back at the end to ask some great questions. Great job my dude, good work.
Thank you very much. Always looking to improve
Great setup, nice for a change to see a va n conversion actually looking lived in and real 👍
Thank you for checking this out
Recycling is cost efficient. 💯This is a fantastic build. 💕They thought of everything 💖
Thank you Tami
Thank you so much for being so real. I see what I am looking for traveling artist & fam & dogs.
Finally I see someone put in a folding passenger seat up front. I would hate to not travel up front together with my spouse. Well done.
I like it has a drivers door. John and Ina have made themselves a sweet little home.
Thank you Linda
This is exactly what I have in mind. This is functional and it fills most needs for me. Really cute kids too. What an adventure for these two!
I love this. I think I may go this route too. So inspirational. Thanks for sharing it. Great solar set up!
Love the big smile on the dogs face at 8:50 :)
What I Love about these camper conversations is seeing evryones individuality, creativity & just their different ideas on problem solving!
Moondoggie & Gidget (1957) are so cute, starter build, very comfy...love the dog...
Thank you for checking this out
Basic build yet perfect for those of us doing it ourselves without breaking the bank. Good job!
This is my favorite conversions out of the many that I've seen. I love everything, especially the plywood walls with metal channels and the clever rope trim. I'm finished searching for the perfect build. You've done it. Bravo!
I love the hanging wardrobe and the partition between the counter and bed.
PS....CUTE Pooch. 😊
Thank you for the support
love how simple, beautiful and functional this layout is! wish i had more money saved right now to buy one myself. ONE DAY!
I enjoy the bus conversion. Liked the bathroom especially. And having the folding passenger seat. Good use of copper piping. Good use of freezer.
Thank you for the feedback
For anyone who wants a update on their lives. They sold the bus for 17,500$ and moved to Norway!
The fold down passenger seat is one of my favorite things!
Love it
It's so cool she loves you so much😊😊😊 Have fun guys❤🏆
So good to see you outdoors again Patrick.
Thank you Pat. 👍🏽
Now this is awesome! Probably my favorite DIY build.
8:48 THAT DOG SMILEDDDD❤️❤️❤️🤭🤭🤭
Yes
I had to go back and look. The dog is smiling 🙃
@@Ndiscreet76 Me too. Mine did when I went to the local shelter to see another dog that I was interested in. While visiting that other dog, outside in the yard, my mind kept going back to the cute lil guy that ran in and smiled at me, just like this one and I couldn't resist and got him instead. Great memory. Always good to see happy dogs that show it, without the zoomies, especially indoors. Lol
I love to see one on a budget that’s still done well.
My favorite shuttle build. Have watched this multiple times
Thank you for checking it out
John, I was in California in 62 when Hobie Alter was still building boards in his garage! I had to quit in when I was 65 (bad Knees) but I still use my $300 boogie board! I'm only 75 now, at the beach in Lewes, DE
Don’t they need more protection around the gas cooler top? Unless the wooden counter top has been treated to make it fire proof. It’s always a good idea to have a fire extinguisher and fire blanket as well as a carbon monoxide and smoke detector. It’s not always the case that you would smell it so it’s not needed. If you’re asleep 💤 you could suffocate quickly. An alarm could give you those precious seconds that can determine life or death. I assume they can exit from the back in an emergency. It’s imperative there are at least two exits front and back. It’s nice to see a bus that is fitted cheaply. Lovely couple 😊
I like the part where he says the shower is all fiberglass and the camera shows us wood! XD Creativity is cute but between the kitchen and the bathroom this place is a bomb on wheels. I can't imagine it passed inspection!
That dog smiled and winked at the camera
Hopefully show doesn’t end up on the street with her seatbelt. That needs to be secured to a structural member of the bus! Safety First!
What a beautiful home!!! And I may say that even though he says it might not be a professional work, looks good to me. Simple but beautiful and it has all the essential. Good job! 😍 Congratulations guys! 👏🤗
Gotta agreed with a lot of people here. Very close to real world show case. Best wishes to these two!
Very nice bus. GOD BLESS YOU TWO and BE SAFE
Thank you Alice
You could put a pull out deck from your garage area to extend your area with the handicap doors open for more room off your bed area that could have a tent cover if needed........good conversion....thanks..
This is an impressive build. It sure helps to have a guy around with a genius level IQ, and he's so down to earth.
Glad you enjoyed the tour
These two seems so nice, and i learned a ton from this video. I was able to register my shuttle bus yesterday, and cant wait to start tearing it apart!!!! :-) I live in NM now, but was born and raised in NJ, so always fun to watch your videos. Thanks for this one!
Around the cutout for the stove Aluminum L bracket can be cut to fit and dissipate the heat to prevent fire.
What a great beautiful couple of humans
Love their laidback attitude and the memories they are making

New Jersey Outdoor Adventures I have done great work keep going
Not bad for a first attempt.....functional and gets them where they want to go
Yes exactly. I think they are out in adventures more than lounging in the van
Anyone catch how Abbie smiled in the camera when the young lady was on the floor? 😂
I love it... on a small bus you had everything ,,youre really blessed
Out of all the hundreds of videos of builds I’ve seen this is the best for the $ ! Ty for sharing wow ty
Wow, thanks!
Finally an affordable build. Nice!
Thank you
Awesome job. You two did great, and I truly like the minimalist approach. Cool!

Ingenuity can be defined as a combination of imagination and creativity. Add pragmatism and intelligence and the result is something like this. 👍🏻😉
Thank you for checking this out
Facts. Have a plan. RV type n bed set up, are the hardest things to decide. Soooo many options. Plans almost complete until I see another great idea lol. Shuttle is top of the list.
Nah bathroom is the hardest!
@@SourGrey sorry but for me that's easy.
@@gladenacole1524 yeah with a compost toilet kinda easy. I mean like a full build plumbed shower is kinda hard for me.
You guys did a GREAT job! 👍
Thank you
Pretty darn cool guys . Simple and affordable build .Cool !
Kudos to you guys! Life is a adventure, enjoy your ride.
Love this Guy's you two and Abbie Rock !, How 311 ppl didn't like this is astonishing to me, You are doing what most of us dream about, Good Luck to you three!
Thank you Georgia
Thank you for the video Patrick
🍺🍺
Great couple. Dude seems to know what he’s doing and she is really supportive of her man. Loved the video. Best wishes to them. As always great camera work Patrick! Another great video.
What a Great couple
Thank you Colin.
He DOES NOT let her talk fully....RED FLAG...
This is amazing. Very smart idea. Travelling around in the comfort in of your home. Just wow! :)
I would call this build more organic. it seems to suit the folks that live in it. Great job of building.
I think so too!
Comfortable clean bus home and their beautiful dog Abbie. John and Ina should be proud.
Thank you Wayne
I'M SORRY BUT NOT SO CLEAN THAT STOVE, KETTLE, AND OVEN DOOR WERE FILTHY 😣😣😣 AND ALSO THE TOP OF THE WATER HEATER AND INSIDE THE CABINET SORRY BUT YUCKY YUCK YUCK 😖
My friend just bought a shuttle bus - so we have been watching these videos for a while now and yours had some super helpful tips and ideas! Thank you for sharing.
HELLO PATRICK, A wonderful DYI bus, but being an F450, IS probably a V10 engine so would be a gas guzzler , het works for them, cheers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for checking this one out
If I would have a chance to build a van this is exactly what I would do because I'm starting off. Getting ready to explorer and it's not perfect. I love that the bed high worked out. I'm putting this video on save to go back to see at what they did to help me. Thank you for the video I loved the couple and your Big Blue.
Awesome, these fine folks absolutely knows how to travel 🚐🚽💩👍😁😇🚿
Thank you for checking this out
These two are wonderful! Love the simplicity!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
They're so honest.
This is what I call honesty van life cuz you see these other people with $20,000 built into their buses but this is realistic this is real thank you so much for being honest and I love your shuttle bus it's beautiful thank you so much
Thank you for checking in
She is Beautiful... He's a lucky man to be traveling around with such a beauty.
Its not over engineered and costing thousands . Looks like they built a good , cost effective van that suits their needs and budget .
Thank you for checking this out
Very nice job! Love your shuttle bus.
Thank you 😊
Love it!! Beautiful home💚
Someone said best thing you could add to your bus was a heating blanket fire extinguisher and something else. I say BEST thing you could put in it is ME😀😀😀😀 But i have a van lol. And kinda fond of it. But long story short. I met this dude on my adventures and picked him up. He ended up living with me in my van. YES we had separate beds. And he ended up being my best friend. I had thought he was poor and homeless. Turn out he was wealthy and just traveling the US by foot because he wanted to. again turned out to be my best friend. He has his own van now. But we travel together. Moral to this story. Be Nice To All. And Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover. Dig your bus. Peace ✌
Thank you 😊
My guy kept it real with a happy wife !!!!! My best favorite of all 💯💯💯💯!!!!! Thank you nothing fancy like my mom always said as long as there’s a roof over your head 🤙🏽🇬🇺🇲🇵🤙🏽!!!!!!
I, REALLY LIKE THEY ATTITUDE, TWO gorgeous young people, I hope that they make it.

I need to start....making exercise my daily routine
Looks very comfy
Thank you Charlene
They are a cute couple and I love there shuttle bus conversation..
Thank you very much Evelyn.
I'm in no way a professional in any way however I do know a few in many different areas of construction. This is also NOT to put down or criticise this beautiful couple..... That being said, I just want to add a little CONSTRUCTIVE comments for them to correct & beware of for their safety. That bathroom as creative as it is might need to be checked & better sealed for water damage such as wiring & mold IF that's mold we see around the rope, wood, etc. I'd put a better coating once completely dried out. bleach would help with the mold but can damage the wood if not well sealed.
Over all, they have great ideas. I sure hope it last a long time with many great memories to be had. Safe travels.
Nice. I have been seriously considering a shuttle bus for my family. Thanks for the insurance "van" tip. 🙏💞
You tube channel NO I'd love to follow you guys. But i really dig the fact you 2 are into it for the adventure. Not to make money from it. SOOO refreshing.
Love your video....comfy home.
Big Blue is nice! Always enjoy your videos because they are inspirational for those of us who like to DIY.

I would add a drop-down bathroom sink that uses the shower fixtures and drains to the floor.
Great idea
