I love how proud the gentleman is of his wife!
Me too, he's so sweet.
Turning in old 🚌 into a 🏡 has been one of my dreams for at least the past 10 yrs. That along with the rental market prices currently has this in my 💭. thoughts, so I've been watching quite a few tiny home on Wheels videos. If this ever happens for me, I would pay this guy to do all my wiring, because out of all the videos I've watched, he's the most prepared. This 🏡 has the most character along with the sense to conserve. The thing I like the most about the job he did fixing this up is it looks way better than those I've seen with the modern everyday interior. Instead of spending a lot of money on that, he & his wife made use of craigslist & any place selling used furniture & made this bus look like an actual home instead of a camper. His wife made the curtains everything. I'm very inspired I the job & in his wife did. They made this 🚌 into a 🏡 I ❤️ it.
Whenever I get the phones to purchase a 🚌 &
I'm ready to start on this job of renovating it into a 🏡, I wish to meet up with this couple.
nice conversion, beautiful quilt
What an adorable Yorkie!
Doug's a great guy, I talked to him for literally hours messaging back and forth. Nice Tour!
A beautiful rig. They are great friends.
Thank you for your support in Arizona. Scott, thanks again for the buddy system traveling back toward home.
It was a great time and look forward to seeing you again soon!
A Great tour with you 🙋
I wish you happiness 😇
Wow! It looks like an actual RV! What an inspiration. It's been a year for me, still working on the renovation. This gives me hope. Mine is not this fancy though. Lol! The embroidery is lovely! 😃
My name is Mindi and I live in Oregon. Figured I had better point out you have a wicked awesome bus!
awesome tour..glad your both well..hope to see you both again this summer..love from victoria beach nova scotia
Really nice build. Very homey. Lots of ideas.
Thanks for sharing Doug👍🏽👍🏽 great use of space . 😊
Auto grease is wonderful. They use a zero weight grease and do an almost constant grease delivery system that always flushes the bearings and bushings out of any dirt, breakdown material, moisture. Excellent systems. I am biased as I used to install and design such systems for Groeneveld the best in the world.
What a bad ass machine 💪
Love what you all have done. I’m converting a 2007 D4500. Haven’t gotten started yet so I was looking for ideas of what I could do. Have to admit I was a bit intimidated by the multiplex computer system but you’ve given me inspiration. How did you manage to change your destination signs? I’d love for mine to stop saying “road test”.
Very cool!
I like they left the overhead bins money saved
That tool box does pull "all" the way out. I just got it back in before you found me stealing your tools!
custom embroidered driving shirts! that's such a "grampa" thing to do lolol
I hope the price of diesel comes down so you can come home. :). Been crazy lately. Wanting to take my bus to Quebec in a couple of months but I might be taking the Goldwing since its just me going. When are you coming to Alberta? I like your bus. Safe travels.

Most Fire tricks, use a similar system, 👍
Holy Hippie.
This has already had a lot of comments. The bugs were thick in the bedroom :{
It wasn’t bugs. It was a weird effect from using my camera light reflecting off normal dust particles in the air, like you might have seen in a morning sunbeam in your house
@@ThisOldBus some big dust particles. 😆
Most Fire Departments,use an auto grease system on their fire trucks , and they work fabulously 👍
There’s a mechanic 🎉Tenn. worked on the bus like that the automatic grease it it did not do his job. caused a lot of damage to his RV show look at it please thank you. Ky
Yup I thought about that too, it was a wanderlodge and the youtuber is a friend of mine, bus grease monkey
Intercity Transit bus
Save money with boondocking...good move

It was normal dust reflecting in the camera light , think like a morning sunbeam
