      Lavender Moon Spaces hey if you don’t mind...what is the size of the shuttle? what do you estimate was the cost of the bus and the build? My daughter is 6ft could she raise the roof 20inches and it still clear tunnels? What part would you consider giving up for a full bathroom? what company helped with this build? Most important, did you need a CDL to drive the shuttle bus? She’s looking to get one her junior year of college so we are on the investigation trail NOW?

    Best shuttle bus conversion I’ve seen so far. I’ve never understood why more people don’t convert more shuttle/church buses. They are a perfect size, not too big that you can’t maneuver them easily, and not too small that you don’t have enough floor space and storage inside. I see lots of step, box and high top vans - just rarely one of these. The layout and decor are just beautiful. Nice job young lady!

    • @lass-inangeles7564
      @lass-inangeles7564 5 лет назад +15

      @@aussican Don't know why they were designed to be so inefficient. I guess because taxpayers are footing the gas bill for schools. Big heavy clumsy engines, tough to turn in spaces, totally wrong for city living, and you cannot drive them far either for travel due to astro gas costs. The only use for a school bus is as a hippie beach pad for surfers or pot smokers who park in some scenic spot for months. Nice and roomy but useless in every other way.
      Ditto for Ambulances and Fire Trucks. Mileage in an ambulance can be 4 - 7 miles per gallon! Ambi's are smaller but have loads of built in outside and inside storage in stainless steel. Very nicely built. You can buy one for $3 - $5K at auctions. Unless the mpg is improved, also useless as a van. Building out a van is a HUGE job, like building a house. Investing your time on a cheap inefficient vehicle is like sewing a party dress out of cheap fabric. Waste of materials and time. Get a van that is easy to turn in the city, decent mileage, stealth low profile, compact for parking, and can zoom on the highways, not lumber like a slow truck. You also need load carrying capacity. In some cargo vans like the Transit, they are built for loads in the back. So they are very bouncy when no load, then after build, they are well balanced. Ford Transit is currently my van of choice beating the Mercedes Sprinter and the NV200 and the Dodge Promaster.

    • @treezafernweh4156
      @treezafernweh4156 5 лет назад +3

      Lass-in Angeles - I’ve read that the high top transit has one of the best gasoline mpg’s and the highest interior height as well. Good for me since I’m a very tall gal and have much taller relatives and friends. I’d choose a Transit over a Sprinter or Promaster if I were to do a self build (which may happen one day).

    What a cute young lady. Well thought out space. Love it! Boom, and there we have it, haha. I gave up living in a 26' travel trailer for a small house near my daughters and grands. If I had it to do over again, I'd do something like that. But most of my space would house my giant stash of yarns. : )

    "ImPOR-ant" - The implied internal "t" sound seems common around mid-Michigan (home of the "Spar-Ans"). Regional language and pronunciation is fascinating. Your use of available space and the feeling of lightness is the best I've seen in any conversion, especially considering the size of your bus. Subbed.

(I don't care if you did it yourself, or had someone else do it. It's just finally nice to see someone do it the right way.) Also, the bus looks great. Nicely done!
    And yes, I will shamelessly admit that when I eventually build out my own bus, I'll be "borrowing" a few of your design ideas. :)

    *Newly Updated Safety Suggestions: for RV lifers, Campers, Hikers, Explorers, Nomadic Life, and Travelers*
    I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living.
    Although, I just noticed your RUclips channel, and other similar channels, displaying van living.
    I just wanted to remind everyone to Aware Be of your surroundings and Alert, I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions
    I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc...
    People need to know what the up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living.
    I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself.
    Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this.
    I feel that you , and others RUclipsrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful.
    I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors.
    I shared this with several other travelers, as I watched their RUclips channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others.
    Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience.
    Although, you may have knowledge of this already,
    I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone.
    *Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle.
    You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage
    Do your research for the best fit for you
    Consider Carrying Several Extra portable cellphone phone chargers, and cables.
    Consider theses items:
    *Mini portable power charging station.
    I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices.
    *Invest in a Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell signal and reception.
    Consider also the purchase of a WiFi signal booster to also boost your WiFi signal.
    Research to see what you prefer.
    *Very Inportant:
    Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location.
    There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating, or camping situations.
    *Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders.
    Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone.
    There are some satellite SOS texting messaging, locator devices that will send messages with your phone even if there isn’t any cellular signal, or WiFi. With this device your can still text, and communicate with others in a emergency satellite transmission.
    Check online, for various emergency SOS products, some are small to fit in the palm of your hand.
    You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you.
    *Mini portable vehicle battery jumper charger
    *vehicle battery jumper cables
    *Vehicle Jumper cables
    *PLEASE BE AWARE* that in the *WINTER*
    *vehicle *Batteries fail* many times in very cold weather conditions.
    Vehicle batteries drain more often in the winter months.
    Please Keep a vehicle battery portable jumper pack, this is a device that can jumper or boost your vehicles battery yourself without another vehicle.
    If you have a older battery in your vehicle, Please have it tested or replace it, and consider the purchase a new vehicle battery with higher Cold Cranking Amps rating.
    Be Aware that Sometimes even a battery that is a few years old can fail in the Winter months, and extremely cold temperatures.
    Some alternatives to Winter Camping, Travelers, Explorers, etc, if you can find a Warmer Climate Location to stay during Extreme Winter months, or stay with family for a few weeks.
    Another alternative is renting somewhere although this can probably get expensive.
    What ever you decide Be Careful, Alert, Aware, Safe, and Informed...
    *Keep a Fire extinguisher handy
    *Smoke detectors, and Carbon monoxide detectors can be helpful
    Keep a First Aid kit with
    Bandages, antiseptic, and other first aid necessities etc. and good vitamin supplementation, and fluids that promote hydration.
    Consider installing;
    *Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly.
    *Exterior vehicle mounted camera for the front, rear, and both sides of your vehicle.
    Some can be activated by motion, Including spotlights.
    *Interior vehicle cameras
    *Flashlights or pluggin spotlights
    *Portable spotlights, and lanterns
    Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console
    *Keep a Sound horn, for hiking this can service, as a deterrent, and a emergency signal alert for others.
    *A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, to communicate with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies, you can keep with you when hiking.
    Use your own discretion regarding the use carrying of any weapons.
    Don’t forget to bring
    Bear Spray
    Pepper spray
    Where is allowed
    Purchase a couple canisters just in case and keep it with you
    If you own a drone you can use it to survey your area for animals etc.
    However, Please Be Safe and Beware of your Surroundings.
    Stay Alert, and Be Safe even when stopping at Rest stops, Truck Stops, and conducting your various tasks.
    Keep in often contact with your family, friends etc.
    Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions.
    *VERY IMPORTANT*
    *WINTER AWARENESS*
    I would suggest *NOT* to travel to locations without internet, or cellular service in the Winter, the reason is that weather conditions can change very quickly, and you absolutely DO NOT want have a vehicle break down, or malfunction, or emergency, and not have the availability to communicate, and contact your family, and or, emergency road assistance, or emergency services.
    Please Keep in mind that even in area where there is cellular service and internet, in the Winter sometimes there are ice storms that may occur and this can cause Power or Electrical failures, until utilities crews repair lines.
    *Your Safety is Important*
    *PLEASE BE AWARE* that in some extreme cold temperatures that vehicle fuel lines could Freeze and causing a vehicle to not start.
    Just in case Keep your gas tank filled, which helps prevent vehicle fuel lines from freezing.
    Keep gas or fuel line additive, or gas line antifreeze, that is rated to use okay for your vehicle.
    Check with your a certified mechanic and your vehicle owners manual, and or dealer repair facility to inquire what is best to prevent freezing gas tank and lines in extreme cold.
    In the Winter even your bottled Water can freeze so Be Careful and Plan ahead.
    *Safety is Paramount*
    *Your Life is Important*
    *You want to Live to Travel another Day*
    *So Be Safe*
    *Stay Alert*
    *Keep your vehicle gas filled*
    Don’t ride on fumes, or on Empty.
    Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty.
    Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on.
    Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, antifreeze coolant,
    Please carry extra (oil)(washer fluid), (brake fluid), (antifreeze).
    You will need extra Winshield Washer fluid because of the ever changing Weather conditions, dustly roads, especially in slushy wet roads.
    *WINTER AWARENESS*
    In the winter consider purchasing and deicing Windshield Washer Fluid, for the much colder weather conditions.
    Furthermore, you will need extra Windshield Washer Fluid, Because you will Be driving more often in dusty, dirty, windy, and varying weather conditions.
    Your windshield will gather dust and debris from long term driving.
    Also, Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set at a home base, friends or family’s house to rotate later on, also make sure that you have a spare tire in your vehicle.
    Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very.
    Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc
    Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump. Electric, Portable tire pump.
    Keep towing insurance to Be Safe if you ever need it.
    It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling.
    Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors.
    Keep Enjoying Yourself,
    Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature
    Just..Please continue to
    Be Positive, Safe, and Alert..
    Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All.
    God Bless You, and everyone
    Traveling, or living in their vehicles, Vans, RVs, Hiking etc.
    Please Be Safe.....
    God Be With You.....

    I have been watching van/bus conversions for at least a couple years now. I know someday soon, I want to make the move from my 2400 sq ft house to some kind of mobile home, I just never felt like any of the conversions I've seen would fit my lifestyle...until now! You did an incredible job and I could 100% see myself living and being happy in a bus exactly like yours! I have 3 questions?
    1. How much did you spend total on the part of the bus and all the conversion?
    2. Do you have heating, and more importantly AC (I live in Florida and it is at least 90 degrees 10 months out of the year).
    3. What do you do with your dogs when you are at work or out with friends etc?

    Hi. So happy to have stumbled across your video, I like your thinking re: using light materials with minimal offgasing; most renos I've seen the DIYers don't seem to take that into consideration, especially the added weight of what they're installing. I'm still researching but I really like the idea of a shuttle bus because of all the windows! Happy trails and much success to you.
