    the very best part of this video- the part that makes it not 'too long' and well worth watching all the way through for people considering this lifestyle- is how many times they both happily and casually said "yeah, that didn't work out like we thought" and "yeah, that is not perfect but works for us" and "yeah, we'll probably change that" and "yeah, that just happened to work out well".
    so along with a great bus tour, you got GOLDEN INFO- you got to witness the ~perfect~ attitude for living life on the road.
    anyone who complained about the video being too long: you might not be cut out for living tiny and mobile anyway.

      Nonya Buziness I agree with your comment! Its nice to see "real folks" with "real issues" as well as solutions for the situations that "work as planned" and those that dont! Plus keeping a smile on their faces and a light hearted attitude! We adapt to our situations no matter what it is we're trying to live with/without! Glad to see solutions not just "problems"! Lots of happy vibes coming their way.

      Hi! Thanks for reaching out. The whole point is that it's not a negative thing. There is nothing at all wrong with naming your bus or vehicle any name at all. We have friends who have names for theirs and it's cool. The whole point in that is that we decided not to name ours because it's a bus and we didn't feel obligated to give it a name would make it a he or she or whatever. That's what we meant when we said we wanted to stay a way from gender, not to push any agenda. Because our bus is a bus and it doesn't have to pick sides, lol.

    • @EddieDoezit2
      @EddieDoezit2 5 лет назад +10

      Do you understand that gender fluid means that they are just not going to cater to any particular gender and that's it's all about inclusion. Gender Fluid is about inclusion and not being negative to any group or saying one group is better. So, they don't give it a boy's name so as not to portray anything wrong with having a girl's name and visa versa... They are trying to be considerate to both genders...

LOGICAL & COOL!😎 HOWEVER, pls don't buy the explanation and current trend aimed at making people feel that if they are PROUD TO BE MALE OR FEMALE they need to APOLOGIZE and feel ASHAMED bcs they are "excluding" others!

      I would have to disagree. I love all the detail. I guess it may depend where a person is at in life as to what they want to see. The beauty of the longer length is the personal ability to be able to only look at the points that interest you (the miracle of technology) while still having the choice for others to watch the video in its entirety with all the wonderful detail. A shorter video eliminates one of those choices, so to please all his audience he has chosen the correct length.

My main problem with almost all bus tour videos is that they never show in depth where every thing goes! I'm watching tons of bus videos because it's research for my future when I finally build a bus. So it's important for me to see EXACTLY where everyone puts there stuff in order to get information and inspiration for my future build!

    Nice job on the build.
    Rv's major issue is often water damage vs your bus roof which is pretty bullet proof. You'd also survive a tree branch in a storm far better than an RV. Provide plenty of ventilation for your camp stove.
    I'd avoid starting fluid, if you have a generator let the block heater run for a few hours. If you must use starting fluid you can spray it on a rag and let it suck from the rag. This gives it a more blended stream of vapor/air which helps avoid a strong shot all at one time.
    I've also used wd40 in a pinch as it's less violent on pistons and rings vs SF.
    Solar is the only way to go especially when you have so much roof area and capacity to carry batteries.
    Enjoy your travels.

    I know you're building out as you go to adapt to your needs. But when you showed your bathroom /closet area I felt for you sitting with that curtain on your legs just to pee and there is no space to change quickly. I loved the shower curtain idea you used and thought about it and wanted to pass an idea on. You could take 2 small curtain rods or chains cut to the exact size of your closet end to end and instead of the one curtain you could hang a curtain on each rod or chain and whenever you need to use the bathroom or change clothes/ get dressed in the mornings you could unhook opposite sides of each curtain rod or chain and move them parallel to create a little room that is easily accessible and can be put back to look like your current area. All you need is another curtain and either 2 small chains or 2 small curtain rods and 2 screw-in eye hooks 🪝 that would be installed in the ceiling opposite from your closet/bathroom area. This would also give you some extra privacy if you want to close the front of the home off from the rear bedroom as you said you do when running the heater. I hope my comment did not confuse you lol 😆
    I also wanted to say that I love the build and color scheme of the interior as well as the exterior!

    I bet a good sized DC chest fridge/freezer combo would work much better for your power consumption. I have seen a lot of great applications where they put them on big drawers with slides so they get tucked into the cabinetry when not in use. Dometic is one brand that comes to mind but check out channels like CheapRVLiving where they review a lot of the different models pros/cons. Maybe it would free up enough amp hours to use some wall panel heaters or something so propane heater isn't necessary. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it.

    Propane tanks should NEVER be situated inside the RV! Propane is heavier than air, so if a leak occurs, the build-up can explode violently or just kill you from inhalation if not ignited. Your one tank should fit neatly under the floor on a bracket, accessible from underneath, with copper tubing going up through the floor. Very nice job, btw.

    Anyone else notice that most times these "couples" seem to use a picture of the female as the thumbnail for the video? Even when (sometime) it's the male that actually narrates the video. Not saying anything is necessarily wrong with it really but, seems like a lot. Again, not pointing fingers just an observation. I've lived the van life and always thought of a partner to share the experience might b3n nice. It takes a very unique couple true but, extremely unique female to live this life. So of course when I see an apparent female looking like this type of person, I am drawn to check the video out. With titles like: "living on the road" and not always "couple living on the road" Which BTW I like to watch also to see how they deal with relationships in a confined space. But I'm just curious if anyone else ever noticed it. Thumbs 👍 if yes and 👎 if not really

    Things I REALLY LIKE about what you've done, so far (there's lots, so I'll only list six bunches:
    #1) Overall Color Scheme - LOVE IT! #2) Vinyl flooring - Perfect choice! #3) The things you've brought from your house, family, & friends are beautifully integrated into all the other things in the schoolie. #4) Solar Panels - BIG YAY! #5) Kitchen/Seating/Dining/Office Area - Beautiful, counter tops & fixtures very attractive, solid quality materials, love the furnishings - the seats especially, design & arrangement very pleasing & efficient. Really REALLY pleased you got some things from Habitat For Humanity! #6) Overall look of interior is bright & airy, neat, spacious, efficient. Love love love all the windows & light and everything you did with the window treatments. Like the stick-on lights for "as-needed" light. Good use of fabrics, textures, structural materials, and art (including your mom's delightful bird house) give a wonderful "home" vibe w/o feeling/looking cluttered. I loved the various colorful coverings on your bed.
    DON'T LIKE: #1) Pooping in the kitchen That's all.*
    *I know you guys are in transition, you're doing things every day, reality is what it is, and I totally understand AND honor that you needed to JUST GET OUT THERE! Fortunately, Richard is very good with creative carpentry and making the most of the space available. You guys are going to be fine! 😍🤴🎅🏻 (P.S: I love the little Window Frames on the back exterior! They add such a fun & homey whimsy to the bus's exterior - very friendly feel to them.)

Gender Fluid is about inclusion and not being negative to any group or saying one group is better.... As a gay man, you should be proud that they are trying to be gender fluid!!!

    Very nice conversion. As an old woman I would like to pass on a bit of advice, just delete it if you find it offensive. When you post a video here, no matter the topic, you will find that the haters are gonna hate. I have no doubt they have all sorts of reasons for making rude critical comments but it doesn't make it right. As you travel you will encounter all sorts of people and some of them will also be obnoxious, just like some folks on the cruise ship. May I suggest you simply ignore those people. Making a sarcastic comment, something that they will never understand anyway, will simply drain some of your positive energy, so you will give them some power over you . How about ignore the rude folks, the self righteous critical folks, etc and deny them the chance to have any effect on you at all. Those types of comments are irrelevant to your message so perhaps deny them the chance to become part of your conversation. Ignoring them is also good practice for dealing with these same types when they cross your path on the road. Just smile and move on and that will irritate the heck out of them while preserving your inner joy. Anyway, you both have done a good job and the color scheme is so bright and uplifting. Peace on.

    • @libertylost8286
      @libertylost8286 5 лет назад +2

      Evan Jackson i agree with you. I feel that if you put your video for the public to view, then you should be open to other points of view without being called names or given a negative comments because a person doesn’t like something that was made or done in their home.

    • @farmwife7944
      @farmwife7944 5 лет назад +1

      Evan Jackson some opinions contain advice or just a differing viewpoint and of course those are part of the conversation and are interesting and of value. The kind of comments I refer to are simply insults or snarky comments and serve no purpose in the conversation other than cause discord. If there is an issue that is serious in nature expressed in the video such as racial insults or a demeaning manner then comments made that express our displeasure of that are in order, but that did not happen in this video about a bus conversion. I have watched videos about WWII and sadly there are comments left by Nazi sympathizers which is an extreme example of the comments I refer to. (Of late, RUclips has been finally responding to the problem by blocking comments for those videos to deny the Nazis of the platform. )

    • @farmwife7944
      @farmwife7944 5 лет назад +2

      Liberty Lost I also agree with those types of comments being posted as they add to the conversation, however the ones I refer to are simply nasty or personal insults and they serve no constructive purpose in the conversation other than using the comment platform to create discord and display lack of respect. As far as leaving a negative comment because you do not like something in their home, would you tour a person's home and then tell the owner "I don't like that " in person in reference to a color or bus name or whatever? You probably would not as that does not add to the discussion and is just plain rude. You may think it but you would not say it, the same rules apply when you put something in writing. Just because our names are not revealed does not mean that rules of civility do not apply. If you disagree with something there are ways of commenting that actually add to the conversation, such as offering another opinion about storage solutions or heating options, it just takes a bit of thinking about what bothers you about something to be able to share a concern in a manner that would be helpful, such as sharing a personal experience related to the item in question or asking a question related to a safety concern. Simply put yourself in the imaginary position of talking in person to the video presenter and you would figure out the difference between a helpful comment and one that is just rude. shalom.

And finally someone answered my question. Thanks so much, I will never be able to pass a physical to get my CDL’s. So I can stop dreaming about converting a old school bus.

The legs could be reattached as hinged to fold out or you can rig it some other way to stay up when you need it to be a desk. Then you could have both a couch as well as counter space as needed. Does this make sense?

In fact, he has a name plate as SAMSON. Mom had what she called an asexual car because she couldn't decide if it was a boy or a girl. After a year or so, she started calling it a he, so a boy it is. If you're triggered by someone deciding to gender or un-gender a vehicle because they LOVE the damn thing, you probably care about gender a lot more than you think libs do. 🤣

    So, you are not done with the bus? I notice that some things are not finished. Also, if you're going to be in cold weather, I would recommend insulating the ceiling since the metal is just a few mill's thick. And lookup off-gassing of the batteries. It can be lethal. Most bus owners have the batteries in outside storage. Compartment. You can enclose the box so there are no gaps. Install a small computer fan on the back of the box so it is blowing to the outside via a vent like the ones used as soffit vents are good enough, but I personally would use a dryer vent and cover the pipe section with screening so rodents can't get int thru the vent. Just my two cents.
