So stoked to have met you and had the opportunity to collaborate these few weeks! Had so much fun helping with this tour!😄🔥
I’ve made a friend for life and learned so much from you. Maybe one day I’ll take you on a date.
@@isaacturnerit never put off till tomorrow what can be done today! Noooooo pressure😉
One day?!? Boy, ain’t no time like the present 😁😁😁!!!!
Ha ha
Lol
Starting my conversion and I’m a fellow Oregonian. Purchased a 25ft wheelchair accessible school bus and I’m paralyzed from the chest down. Airports are impossible for me and I haven’t traveled in 7 years since my injury. Can’t wait!
When God closed that comfortable door he opened a spectacular window.
💯
❤️
❤️. Best way to live!
@The Sacrosanct absolutely 💯
Can someone slap this on a t shirt and give it to me?
I'm 64, just bought a 4 window short bus for my 4 dogs and I to travel in. I'm currently living in my 34 foot Class C and about to build out a shed into a tiny house. I've worked hard and now it's time to play hard.
Wisdom! Especially the insulation discussion. Thank you! the wheel has been invented so we don't have to do it again. Happy Travels!
An artistic mind is a genius mind....not ordinary for sure.
Keep the broom by all means.
Hey hey @Leave Her Wild sent me over. Glad I did. Awesome job ty.
Thanks for coming by :)
@@isaacturnerit plan on sticking around, I sub'd, I appreciate how you give honest real advice. Thank you
I'm so glad you and Jaylena became friends so she could share you with the rest of us. I enjoy watching you two work together and how down to earth you are. I can't wait to see the finished product of the current build. BTW make sure our girl has an awesome 29th birthday!!
Ditto
LITERALLY the coolest REALEST video yet...been watching these for years...and I'm SO glad someone's keeping it real. Makes the little guys with barely any money believe it can actually be possible. Thank you ❤️
I always appreciate being taken along on your journey! Thank you💕
Thank you!
This is a wonderfully honest tour. I really appreciate the what worked/didn't from your perspective.
Thank you for watching
Another option for cabinets under the bed is to stagger the doors on two tracks so one slides over in front or in back of the other. Old school.
Thank you for sharing your story. I was truly inspired.
Thanks for talking about the tires. I'm in the planning phase for a schoolie & I live in Maine. Weather is very similar & I would have forgotten about that.
Enjoy listening to you talk about your builds.
"I like manual things, just because there's less things to break." 🙌🙌🙌
Great tour and insights. Super impressed with your insulation review. Really appreciate an honest comparison from someone who has lived in both. You are one of the reasons Bus Life is continually being elevated and more accessible to so many different people! Thank you for what you do, share and how you inspire!
Thank you I'm glad and happy to share my experiences on what I like and don't like hope this video can help in anyway.
Jaylena is Beautiful in every way ❤️💕❤️🌟👍 Issac you deserve The Best ❤️❤️🌟
Great video, I love how you explained what you wouldn’t do again and why. It’s so helpful to first time builders. You and Jaylena make such a good team. Love watching you both 🖤!
Thanks. I have been in this rig 2 years. I have learned a lot about what I would and wouldn’t do again. Glad I could help. PS Jaylena is awesome
its a harry potter broom!! :P very cool
Ha ha I love that broom!
Issac you have such a great heart. I love your voice. You are very creative and I pray you many blessings.
Thank you for that.
Thank you for the bus tour. You and Jaylena make a perfect team together.
I agree! She has been awesome having around here
Thank you for All your honesty on what you would and wouldn't do and what worth buying .
You are sooooo right. Freedom and not trapped. I am so geeked about building mine. The whole van/bus life community is so supportive also. Much love and Blessings 💖🙏
Firepit on top .... Who would have thought !!!
Ha ha do it ! But be careful
We’re approaching the end of our build and I’m so inspired by your vibe and the wisdom bombs you kept dropping. Your perspective on the WHY of buslife is keeping me focused and getting me through the final conversion push 🙏🏼 Safe travels. See you out there, hopefully even in your shop. Congrats on all that btw.
Wow. Awesome. Stay grinding it’s worth it
I love your honesty!!
If that skylight ever leaks try using a product called Solar Seal. It's what they use on windows and roofs and solar panels. It's better than caulk in almost everyway. It's waterproof with in 30 minutes of application and is completely set in 1-3 days based on humidity and temperature. Nice bus!
Good morning! what a ncie surprise. From Ontario Canada
Thank you for watching!
Wow nice bus!! Keep on keeping on!! You do really good 👍I bet alot of customers will return, on bus building... have a wonderful day
getting an idea & needing to bring it to life…. dude you’re a CREATIVE! in every sense!! love watching ur tours, even us renovated RVers have a lot to learn from you!
i do some road trip adventures tent and car camping. enjoying these videos helps with my anxiety and gives me more ideas/motivation to keep traveling
I love your set up. I subscribed because of of Leave Her Wild. Only problem I saw was the way doors opened. You should be proud of where you are at now and with you starting your own business. You need to play us some music on another vlog. Please take care of Jaylena. I know she is a big help and she is learning a lot from you.
I appreciate the comment. I am honestly not sure what you mean about the music though
@@isaacturnerit I saw you played the guitar. You need to play for us.
Oh got ya. I will :)
I’m in the middle of building out my first bus, and I was starting to feel pretty burnt out this week - this video was exactly what I needed to feel excited about the project again!
Yeah is a lot of work but is all worth it when your done and enjoying life!
Very informative because my daughter is getting a skoolie. Thanks for sharing I really appreciate how you took the time out to talk about taring out the Installation and your take on it. I'm really excited about my daughter doing this. New subscriber! ✌
Thank you I'm glad.
Love all the money and space saving tips
K, I love everything he said about freedom and keeping his options open. THAT is the reason I’m looking into bus life. I have been nomadic for almost two decades and I’m getting really tired of packing boxes all the time. This way, I’d have my house with me everywhere I go, and don’t have to commit to buying a static house and feel trapped.
Love the graphics on your home.
Skooliana=Kooliana :-) Great tips on EVERYTHING! Can't wait until I find a bus! Thanks so much!
Your welcome! Thank you for watching!
@@isaacturnerit always my friend
I've been watching your channel for a while now, and it's literally my favorite for skoolie buses! Not to mention I'm from Oregon too and you're just a super cool guy! I love your little home! It seems to have everything you need, and I'm excited to see what you do to rebuild in the future. My dream is to do a skoolie conversion someday. I've been single for about 7 years now and I don't want to wait until I have a partner to get out and see more of the world. I love to travel and see new places, but I'm also very much a homebody and hate leaving my fur babies. So I think this would be the perfect solution for me to see more of our beautiful country while being able to come HOME every night. I think it's brilliant that you turned your passion into a business. Thanks so much for sharing your little home as well as all the others you've featured! Wishing you happy happy traveling!!!👍🚎😉
Thank you!
If you use real 1/2" pine wainscoting, it doesn't warp bubble. I have it in my bathroom and kitchen, it great! Don't use quarter inch particle board, when it gets wet it falls apart.
Great job YOUNG BLOOD!!!
Came over from Jaylena. Great job editing girl. Isaac you are very cool down to earth guy. Love your videos and lives you both been doing. So awesome you two have become friends with like minded ideas. Can't wait to see more! Greetings from Wisconsin. Karen
Thank you appreciate that.
I'm learning so much from You and Jaylena. I've been wanting to do the bus life for the last couple years. I just lost my full time job after being with the company for 21 years.
Maybe it's time to hop on the bus life wagon❤
It’s def time 🖤
If Not Now... When?...
21 yrs ! Boy that sure sucked. Hope all is well. Plan for a fresh new start. I lost my job too, I'm 60 this yr and this life is sounding more appealing. Best of luck ahead.
@@lorichambers8683 thank you so much. I'm 53 and loving that I have more time with my children and grandchildren. Who knows we may join the schoolie community❤
@@princesspamela1959 😊no time like the present❤
I LOVE this dude! So many real tips and moments. He’s real and I LOVE all the practical tips.
This is the most Oregon skoolie tour by the most Oregonian guy ever.
You're such an Oregonian!!! So cool, I grew up in Portland so I feel ya! You by far have the best bus build on RUclips! 💜
Ha ha thank you! I tried to leave oregon a couple times. I keep coming back!
I like this dudes vibe
Lol Thanks!
good advice on insulation...I will remember that..I'd like to see you do a video on the different types of bus options and your opinions on pros and cons...Thanks!
cool tour thank you for your time
Thank you for watching
Just spent two weeks in Oregon traveling all around. Loved the bus tour. Been looking at skoolies to convert. Great suggestions!
A few comments from me. I love your narration and story, full of humour and kept me engaged. Your explanations of what you like and don't like is well thought out. I'm glad I clicked on the recommendation and experienced a diamond of a bloke. I wish you well.
Hey thank you!!
I’m about to start my build and this is so helpful! Too many vids are pretentious and not budget conscious so I’m glad to find this!
Great video tour Isaac , and very informative 😎👍 Hope y'all are having an awesome day !
Thank you for watching
You’re right. The insulation is only as good as your weak spots i.e all the glass. So unless you’re covering windows permanently. Save your money :)
Not true at all. The health hazards, from leaving the original insulation, are deadly.
That being said, spray foam is no better bcuz it attracts and creates mold.
Blinds can be made for the windows very easily and have an R-value.
Sheep wool insualtion is the absolute only way to go
i cant wait until i build mine 🥰 so many great ideas and inspo in this vid 😌
same here :-)
same- legit a dream of mine
That's what speaks to me. Not trapped. Free. I can be wherever that makes me and my corgis happy. I just bought my bus. It's an 89 Chevy C60 Class C. I have education in electronics and I have 3 years experience working as a heavy equipment technician. I'm planning on putting out so much content and things I know because I want others to have this freedom. Thank you for your channel and keep on keeping on! ❤
Nice rig. I use to drive a short 2005 GMC for a school I use to teach at. They handle like a normal van.👍👍👍👍👍
They do!
Love your skoolie! You did an amazing job and very knowledgeable! I have family over in Klamath Falls OR about 2 hrs from Oakridge :)
I wanna spend more time in Klamath
Please don't forget us after Jaylena goes home.
Nah I am going to move a lot of my energy over here. I was a videographer before I was ever a photographer. Not sure how I haven’t been here till now
I just wanted to say that I've been watching your videos since I got my bus 2 years ago and i have followed your advice SO many times. I really appreciate that you are honest about what does work for you as well as what doesn't, or what you would do differently. I set up my electrical system based on your recommendations, and I did the same thing when i built my daughters bus too!
Glad I could help 💗
So inspiring. The road we take to avoid our Destiny, IS our Destiny. May we always be wonder filled.
Very informative great video Isaac thanks for sharing ❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Thank you for watching
Perfect video. Great job explaining things. And telling the good, bad ... what you would do differently.
I agree about the dividers! And all the light!!! I lived in a bus for a couple years and now I’m getting ready to move into a short bus.
Pretty neat deck, love the deck art.
Thank you
Love the new update, good job all
In my opinion I totally agree about the roofing and side wall insulation!
Can’t wait to see what you do next!🚌♥️
You are naturally and honestly great
Thank you for sharing your experience
You already are in an incredibly journey
Came for the bus tour and really enjoyed your life story.
Thank you for watching 💗
Isaac, love your bus !!! Thanks for your honesty of your likes and dislikes. Great to know these things. It was so amazing to see you and Jaylena do a collab. She’s such an incredible human. Peace and blessings Brother 🤟🏽
Thank you!
Nothing is a mistake. You learn by everything as long as you learn from it then it is not a mistake. Life is about learning and living. I lived on. A sailboat at one time, I worked in a boat yard, I worked with a sail maker. Best time of my life. Live and learn. I love your Chanel.
Thanks for watching. I agree my failures have been my biggest lessons
You just blew my mind with the shore power hack. I may be in love with you a little bit.
FREEDOM!!!!
yep
Came over from Jaylena’s channel. How exciting to watch another
Bus Builder. I can get more ideas. I started mine before Covid had to stop. Finally retired going to start back up in August.
Thank you for coming over!
Thanks for sharing an awesome tour of your schoolie bus 🚌, and i really enjoyed your back story! Jaylena did an excellent editing job ! 😊👍💕💕💕
Yes she did and I appreciate her so much! Thank you for watching.
@@isaacturnerit you are welcome 😊
Lookin’ good!!
I'm in Oregon myself dreaming about doing this, appreciate seeing your realized version.
Thank you!
I really like this guy,I'm sure he never smokes ganja
He's on something!.....
I have watched a ton of van build videos but very few bus build videos. So it is refreshing to see how people are building out buses!
Talking to someone who has lived full time in a vehicle is very different than talking to someone with a fresh build
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing your story!
Thank you for watching
quick heads up to anyone watching and getting ideas. and i think a lot of folks would really appreciate it if you'd let them know @skooliana... an inverter and a charger do not do the same thing whatsoever. what you have is the piece of an inverter/charger that just does the charging (rectifying of the electrical current from an AC wave to DC)... an inverter (inverting of the electrical current from DC to AC) gives you power for like a 120v socket that are typically found in brick and mortar homes. an inverter/charger unit also usually operates as a transfer switch so that when your truck is moving (and your alternator is on and AC is available) it will use AC from your alternator rather than invert current and drain your DC battery. but ya if you don't want the AC power in your unit, then all you'll need is a charger.
Great advice, thanks!
I agree with you not wanting a bed to take up so much of your space. I'm working on the design of my bus/van now and I'm not putting in a whole bed area. A nice seat that I can lounge and sleep on will be good enough for me. Thanks for the video.
You have the best bus! I watch for a Thomas short bus regularly. I just want a short skoolie!
Great tour! Thank you Issac!
this man is on the short bus
I can picture this schoolie new mural as wind swept trees… so when he is on the move (forward) the trees bend the appropriate direction as if wind the wind is blowing.
As soon as I get me a bus, I will definitely look you up. Love this and all your honesty
I like that foot pump for the water. Makes sense. Bedroom area is nice.
I appreciate your opinion on all the little ideas
Glad I could help!
OMG I love your attitude. So authentic.
That birthday party last night was the livestream of the century. Thank you for being so generous to share your fab talent with Jay's friends. You're so right about the risk/reward thingie. Don't waste a minute of your life unhappy.
I hadn't seen this video til now, really enjoyed the back story. Have to say, really happy you found the schoolie movement, and love your builds, especially van diesel's look and layout. Thanks for sharing.
Great video so much info.
Luv your bus & your story..
Thank you!
Hey ! Just stumbled across your channel . Love your bus ! I have had a feeling that i wanted to build a little bus so i found a 1985 G M C short bus it's a Canadian build Blue Bird awesome little thing i love it ! Just getting started thinking how & what i want to do with it !🙂 Your tour of your bus and your thoughts & explanations give me many Do's & Don'ts . You seem like a really down to earth kind of guy with a direction and has figured out what life is really all about !!🙂
I am 69 now and a jack of a lot of trades but a master of none so this will be an awesome journey for me in the building of this little bus !🙂 Your an AWESOME GUY THE BEST OF LUCK IN WHATEVER YOU DO !!
TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS !!
Big D from Maine
Thank you
Awesome story of how you got started
A “vehicle” to change your mind. Not trapped!
Love your bus & watching your channel -all the best -& enjoy 😊 Jaylena adds a nice touch
