Great Video, Mike. Thanks for all you did sweeping out my garage and organizing everything :-). I almost cried when I saw how you guys set nearly everything up so I could hit the road as soon as I got home!!
Catch up with you soon.
Definitely, I saw you took the bus out with the family! I’ll swing by when I get back from Canada. 👍
Rita, read the comments. This is not a mutual back patting society. Lots of things done wrong on this rig. Vacuuming the garage does not make them right.
Sounds like a satisfied customer to me, and always remember, that customer service is everything.
What was done wrong?@@lass-inangeles7564
Thousands of vanbulds watched and this one is still one of my favs. Not “futsy ” or over complicated. Open plan bright and spacious. The mom is a “shero”of mine ever since I first came across her tour.
Rita's awesome build for her plus three daughters. I saw Patrick's New Jersey Outdoors video and then this one came up in my feed.
Very nice set up. I have one safety suggestion, paint those propane tanks white. Black absorbs heat and you wouldn't want those in the sun.
I have a bus that is almost a twin to this one. A 96 with the 7.3 powerstroke built by supreme in Goshen Indiana. So fun fact if you get a wireless winch remote you can set it up to open and close the door with a key fob that looks like a normal key fob for a car. Love what you did I will be posting videos of mine when it's done. I am setting it up for pet and rescue transport. It has 40 built in kennels and then a small sleeper areas with a fridge, microwave and a shower.
I seen the lady and her daughters that bought that bus and they really do enjoy all the hard work you guys put into it and it looks amazing and very comfortable to live in for three people
I just finished watching her tour! I have a ford starcraft shuttle bus wish you could help convert it!! The problems I am having is trying come up with medical storage areas! I am not gonna have medical issues stop my dreams maybe money but not medicàllllĺ yayy!! You guys are top notch awesome!! ❤ Much Love Rhode Island
~ I've spent years looking for that perfect van and build and you've nailed it!
definitely love some of the aspects and built-ins JT is an artist with electrical great job
Great looking bus conversion guys ❤️😎👍🚌 congratulations 🎈🎉🎊😊 thanks for sharing and safe travels
Sweet little welder you have there! I wish I could afford you guys! I've been watching you for a while and y'all are the best in my book!
Thanks, appreciate the support. The welder is JT’s 👍
Really nice rig guys, Hope you are enjoying the fruits of your labors.
I absolutely love this build, great job.
I may have to call on you guys when i retire.
The shuttle bus is so much better than a school bus. Double layer fiberglass is far superior to a thin skin of steel. Much cooler in the sun and warmer in the winter. Trust me I live in one.
We're living in a shuttle bus as well and it's already insulated. I'm glad we chose a shuttle bus over a school bus
Awesome job guys!! Thanks for brining us along! Amazing craftsmanship!!
Thanks, it takes a lot of time but love the result
Another great build Mike! Lucky for me and my electrical system I'm into abstract art!
Haha, Dale your box truck is great!
Hey Michael beautiful job you guys did. Good to see a new video. Have a blessed weekend be safe
Thanks, it was such a fun project and working with Road Roots Up Fitters was the best.
Wow, that turned out amazing, you guys did a great job, congrats!
Thanks!
Wao a BIG applause for you guys What a great job!!!
That organizing your tools for a quicker build is so true!!
Like a surgeon!
Such amazing work! I am so glad you did make a video of it. There has to be more videos of their builds they do such amazing work! Also, I have only seen pictures not videos of the "littlest Lane" but dear God could he BE ANY CUTER????? lol So cute!
They are a great family traveling and helping people get on the road.
The home depot smells so good! I got my seats out The plumbing and Electrical is what I need help with! I need the windows out and steal put in, I can do the welding. I love the windows in those shuttle buses! They look good!
Just saw a tour of this bus on New Jersey Outdoor Adventure ❤️
Now that is a piece of master art work!
I just bought a 31 foot 2008 c5500 Chevy shuttle bu and plan on a conversion, I have never done this before and not sure where to start. really want to keep it super simple and open and really excited about the coming project! thanks for the video, will keep watching!
Beautiful work all!
Good job very neat thank you for sharing
Killed it!!! good job
Nice! We are in the middle of doing one in a similar time frame. Good job!
Great work guys!!
Beautiful build
Great work. I’m inspired more.
Great job👍👍👍
So awesome! ✌💞
Great video! 👍
😉👍👊great video great job!
👍 this looks a lot like one I am possibly going to make a bid on this coming week. 🤞
Not exactly what I am thinking, but close enough for guestimation.
I’m loving this! I would love upper cabinets over the kitchen and probably a different solution for the fridge because the area where it is would’ve made the perfect work/desk area but you guys DID AMAZING!!
Thanks, currently the owner has put upper cabinets above the kitchen and upgraded the solar. You can see it in this video. ruclips.net/video/zFxboTaVxZk/видео.html
Looks so good
Nice work!
I have an 88 Ford bus a lot like yours. Just redid the floor.
That's sick I wish I had both you here in Portland OR lol
It is sick. Who in Portland did you want to blow up with black propane tanks?
Wow very nice awesome 🇨🇦🇨🇦🛠🛠
BADGE EVERY ONE NEEDS ONE Thanks Badge !
There is a stretch shuttle bus in Pittsburg, KS on 4th St. I'd love to get my hands on. And to let people know, there is a bus for sale in the Oloogah/Talala town in Oklahoma. You will see it driving down 169 Hwy. It's been there for a long time. I don't know what kind of condition it's in. I own a home I do not want to give up to live on a bus, but I would love to own a camper conversion for the dog obedience trials I attend.
I need you people in mah life! I want a back deck identical to this one!
just a tip...that grill you installed for the a/c probably blocks 70% of your air flow.
An air floor style return vent or cut with dremel wheel and bend forward. Won't show from eye level.
Awesome!!!👠🚌👠
Look you sold me, I had to click and follow
Can't wait to see what's next.
Thanks for joining!
You guys do nice work
Thanks Steve. Come to Canada! Badge is waiting.
I'm headed to Maine and then to a gathering in Indiana. After that I'm going to the last two lower states, KS and MO. So Badge will have to wait until the fall
@@SteampunkSteve Dean and Me will be in the North East this summer.
Mike I am thinking about a short bus build. Maybe a 5 window bus. Do you have a video on what is a good bus and what is not? I like the old "school" look but dont want a ton of old bus problems. I really like the style of yours. I do know I want a kick-ass turbo diesel. thanks! Mike from AZ!
Neat. Wish it was a slower build though. Trying to figure out how to do this myself.
Check out my whole channel. I am currently building out a 2004 Chevy Collins step by step.
Very nice. it's great that you have so much help. I'm 57, single and no friends or skills...lol. I don't mind doing it by myself.
Nice build! Be careful on your next road trip!
Thanks for the well wishes. ✌️
Welcome! Swish I could travel like you!
Finally a new video!!! 🤣🤣🤣👍
I know. Consistency is coming. Just doing a lot of projects. 👍
Nice job! I wondered if that back step was hinged for when the bus is in motion? Also the cannisters on the outside and open to the sun - why?
Generally, wonderful looking build. Several comments: on the back porch, if there was an ability to fabricate rounded corners on the back end, then that could have happened. The seat box housing the electrics, why was a hinge placed at the side end? Shouldn’t it have run along the back of the seat lid? Lastly, WTF is up with the 4x4 column? Is it needed as a support for something on the roof? Because it isn’t a great design choice. If it is a support for roof weight, why didn’t you just fabricate a roof rack, and divert the weight? I hope you will take some of my comments into consideration on your own and future builds. 👍 You got skills, for sure.
How did you do the ceiling with fiberglass?
Thank you for all your time.
John
I'd LOVE to convert a shuttle bus but alas my husband is 6'6" if I strap his shoes to his knees it might work LoL
You could always cut out the roof and make it higher.
Shuttle bus I'd 7 foot inside height.
Ok..awesome job. When can you do mine?
Sir, Navigation Nowhere - youv'e been gone too long. Nice build worth the wait.
Thanks, I am really shooting for posting more often!
I’m considering doing a shuttle build now. They are less expensive for the same engine/chassis as like a Transit or Sprinter and it is designed with passengers in mind so you are more likely to walk away in an accident. My biggest concern is all of the many many windows and building around them. You are just covering the windows where needed?
I get the reasoning for keeping the electrical controls at 6:30 near the batteries and inverter, but that looks like a tight gap to walk through there, especially if you're going to have stuff plugged in there.
When the bus is parked, how does the heat and ac work in back?
I like the honey bubbles shirt at 8:00
Still have a few hanging around. 👍
Hinge an aluminum channel deck on the bumper that is the width and height of the bus that folds up and down. Fold it down with swing down adjustable legs. The lights will shine through the grating or you can add $10 Harbor Freight magnetic ones to the bumper or permanent ones to the bottom of the deck when it's folded up.
Could you provide the make and model of the following?
Flooring.
Stove.
Fan.
Refrigerator.
Hello I was hoping to see the conversion from the very beginning. I am curious of what it takes to convert one. I was wondering in your own opinion which do you feel is easier to Convert a Shuttle Bus or a School Bus. And which is your favorite and why. I am really hoping to get a Shuttle Bus but need more info on what it takes to have someone convert it. Wish I was able to do it myself but it seems extremely physical and then there's the electrical and so many other things to consider. Thank you, Irene
How much is a build like that? If a person supplies the bus
That metal grate is going to restrict air flow, causing the AC unit to run hotter. It will die sooner. Believe me.
Amateurs charging for shoddy work violating safety codes.
I'd be worried about sticky fingers getting the tanks on back. Great set-up!
I'd be worried about wet rain prepping with rust and hot sun rays making them go all explodey.
I thought that bus looked familiar... I saw the airstream guy review this bus with the owner and her kids.
Liked it all except the non back splash sink
Gorgeous build! What ceiling lights are those?
Bummer thought this was ur business. Enjoy the vid. Safe n happy travels all
If your asking if I build for people I do haha. I was collating on this build with a fellow builder!
So maybe this is a silly question (I just started watching your channel, I've been doing a ton of research on portage free diy tiny home building), but do you contract out labor or consulting on builds? For instance if a person like me needed help on the structural and electrical design side of things, would you be open to helping out with a diy build if you were compensated?
Just purchased a shuttle and about to begin demo...it has fiberglass on the outside and inside, would you suggest leaving the fiberglass on the inside and just framing on top of it? Thanks!
Where did you get your tap and freezer ???
What did that build cost?
Looking to have my e450 build the same!
No one wants to answer this question
I wish people doing the vids would look at the lens instead of the view screen. Nice work on the bus.
2:30 100% accurate lol
Luckily my closest Home Depot is only 1 mile away. They all know me now and know everything about our bus just from things I'm buying and general conversations.
So what kind of flooring is that
Another nice build Mike. I’m trying to find LED outdoor flood lights like on your Navigation Nowhere bus. Any help?

Hey Mike, I'm searching for some bus seats.
What type/model of air conditioner are you putting in?
What's that other bus with the roof raze
That is JT’s personal bus from Road Roots Up Fitters.
how did you go about attaching seat belts to the couch area? I've often wondered the best way to do this when you don't want to install a factory seat. Thanks and great build!
We did not install them on this rig. They were put in after.
I am having the darkest time trying to wire outlets while using a power inverter, do you have any websites that I can search?

Where can you park it if it’s a longer shuttle bus?
Idk if you guys have run into this issue before. But I am buying a shuttle bus used for paratransit. The main entry door is a wheelchair lift. I know they can be removed… but if there is no stairs underneath, what do you do? All the buses I’ve seen have a secondary stair entrance, so it’s not so important what is under the wheelchair lift. I literally have no idea what I’m up against. Everyone is telling me to just leave it. But I hate it.
How do you deal with the window condensation...?
Where can i find a JT type of man so he can build me one of these 🤣🤔 asking for a friend lol
I wish the back deck is foldable so its easier to travel with and set up :)
I'm thinking Tommy lift......
How much would I have to pay for you guys to build out my shuttle bus when I get one
Full time living, fine. A few days at a time, that's a lot of work and money.
How much did this build cost? That's what we want to know. I have a 19 passenger E450 that I want to convert, but I need ballpark figures just to know what I'm getting into.
❤️👍🏻
where are you guys located? and is this a business that you do to build out persons buses?
i seen dis same exsact layout
11:52 What did these people do to you that you'd try to blow them up? One big elaborate ruse of "nice" and then 2 weeks down the road "KABLOO-EY!"
Hi. What kind of engine does this bus has?
Do they charge people for using solar power
