    It's nice to see a bus conversion done the proper way . I just watched a video where this guy just put insulation and plywood over the windows . He is going to hate his life when one of those windows leak and he has to tear down half of the interior to fix the water damage .

    Retired school administrator and bus driver here. You made an excellent choice with the flat fronted blue bird. Excellent visibility, better ride than traditional bus and the CUMMINS.!!

    Mr. Dad your family is lucky to have you. Awesome job. My Dad passed away from cancer related complications on my 20th bday. But as a child watching him build things I thought he was a real super hero. Now at 34 I have even more of a respect & concept of how valuable this is for families 🥰

    When I was a little girl we lived in Harlan county in Kentucky and we lived in 2 busses we used one for a kitten and living room and the other for a bathroom and bedrooms we were very poor but we were happy it was me and my brother and my mom and dad we lived like that for years! It just shows you you can make it through anything if you just put in the effort it will pay off thank you for this video and the wonderful memories it has awakened God bless you all and keep you safe and meet your every need Peggy Lynn Smith from Corbin Kentucky

    You have created something quite special and beautiful for your family. I hope you have amazing adventures while traveling in this beautiful RV you have lovingly created with your family. This is the type of project that my Dad would have loved doing especially since we went on month long camping trips as we explored the various mountain ranges, visited family and friends and had fun as a family. We used a tent trailer with a zip on extension and stackable camping cots for us kids to sleep on. Once the 3 eldest were no longer living at home Dad up graded to a popup trailer that slept 8 and had a built in stove, fridge, heater, sink and a water tank. Because we camped in bear country we didn’t cook or eat anything in the trailer which was fine since we had a pretty good setup for cooking outside and had multiple canopies to protect us from any bad weather. Dad even had heavy plastic sheeting that could be attached to the canopies creating walls that came in handy on a few rainy trips.

    I can relate to remembering our Dads as builders. My Dad built two enormous rock gardens in two locations as well as two recreation rooms in the basement .Tons of toys ,hand made for my brother and I as kids.These memories are priceless. You are a great Dad . Hope to see a follow up when you guys go" on the road again."
