- Matt and Christa built this amazing skoolie build on a budget. To be honest, this is the best $8k and below camper conversion I have ever seen! What do you think? Have you seen a conversion does as well as this one for that low of a price?

Congrats to this adorable couple. I love this bus! It's clean and simple, yet very functional. I especially love the hinged coffee table @10:20. What a fantastic idea!
One of best bus/home I've seen on YT. Lots of fantastic little ideas/creations. So clean and streamlined.
I love this Van too. It has the Best Shower Room I've ever Seen in a Van.
My favourite part of this video is when the husband was talking about how he makes coffee every morning and breakfast at least every other morning for his wife. What a wonderful husband! I love seeing/hearing when a husband is attentive to his wife, how beautiful.
And she won the bathroom debate too.
In other words, worship her/me, ugh...
Yes a beautiful thing to see a husband that adores his wife!!!
Most of these I see spend crazy money converting these. Cool to actually see a real budget one.
Right, and it looks really nice.
If they stay in a warm climate I'd say they've got a great budget and situation, but I noticed no insulation on the roof (possibly walls, too) Conversions get pricier when you've got to heat yourself to stay alive!
@@TheWorldofRobbie
That's true,no insulation on the sides or roof. Where they're at might be perfect
Super inspiring and hopeful that it’s doable
@@TheWorldofRobbie Still if it gets too cold they can always just drive down south. It's the great thing about RV life. The only trick is having stable income or savings.
For the budget they have; and how clean it looks, this couple made a really practical $300,000 apartment on wheels and they can go anywhere they want, and off grid? It's a win-win. Smart move.👍
Anywhere that doesn't have winter. There is nooo insulation
The wife found some really good deals and they both did a very nice job converting that bus. Wishing them safe travels.
Idaho Rider "wife found some really good deals", yes, up to, and including, hubby! Both are smart cookies and I also wish them safe travels.
Y'all did an incredible job on _Cecilia._ Whenever you're in the Atlanta area, you have an open invitation to come to our shop to tackle projects large or small. We have everything you'd ever need to work on her. Atlanta Auto Diesel is even just a few doors up from us in case you need any engine work done. You can park here with full electrical, and we have clean, secure restrooms and a shower. Lastly, Fort Yargo State Park is less than 10 minutes away with miles and miles of mountain bike trails, a big beautiful lake, camping/RV spots, yurts and cabins.
There's never a charge to you for my time to either do something for you or with you. You only need to buy the materials and Home Depot is also less than 10 minutes away.
John Coloe wow, what an awesome man. It’s nice to know that there are people like you. Unbelievably kind.
@@charlotte97838 Thanks for the kind words. As a full-time van dweller, I understand the challenges of accomplishing projects while on the road. Matt and Krista seem like really nice couple and it'd be our pleasure to help these newlyweds with anything they'd like to do on _Cecilia._
John Coloe l’m impressed. Thank you for being you.

My favorite is the vintage stove. Congratulations on your marriage and the bus!
Bus *got a deal

Countertops *got a deal

Husband *got a deal* lol
K D that is the truth
@@pamelamolina5623 It is the truth. She's a good woman, and he's a good guy.
@Craig X
You moron
@Susie X the joke is just they say we got a great deal over and over lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣✌
What an absolute gem of a travel cabin this is, the interior is light, bright and airy and the uncluttered counter space is superb as is that fantastic, restored cooker and your clever, counter top, vintage reworked sink.
Drawers make so much sense in a travel cabin and these were well placed and of a good size. Nice cupboard unit too.
The top opening 12v fridge on slide out drawer runners doing double duty as an extrs guest seat is particularly cool and hugely practical.
Very neat and discreet clothes storage leads to the wonderfully light and clean shower and cassette toilet.
Lovely bed with adjacent, brilliant coffee table type opening lid that reverts to a breakfast table to encourage one's sleepy wife awake is such a great touch.
Gorgeous couch/guest bed, which looks exquisitely comfy and a great place to be awake or asleep.
Your bus is a great size, and it still looks proportional with your fantastic rear deck/scooter storage and the roof deck is really spacious and special, and would be my first choice of location to chill, eat, appreciate one's surroundings and being in nature.
Good solar bank too.
This travel cabin has superb ergonomics, the loveliest open, airy, uncluttered feel and a kitchen to die for.
I've never seen anything so utterly perfect and beautifully constructed to a very high standard as this, and I consider it to be absolutely perfect and something that I could live happily in.
This is due to the beautiful, inspirational, creative and skilled owners/builders/liveaboards whom envisaged their perfect travel cabin and turned their dream into this beautiful reality!
Your home is simply elegant and elegantly simple.
Happy is the man who treats his wife like a Queen, for he gets to be King. GOOD MAN!
@mahnamahnadodoobedodo indeed.
@bayfire beautifully put
@Aika Papa Yes times have indeed changed where women have abandoned all assumed gender roles but men are still expected to fulfill theirs which is anything but equality.
This went from something so wholesome to something rude...
mahnamahnadodoobedodo that’s some taliban shit
I’ve watched hundreds of converted buses and this has got to be my favorite. It has EVERYTHING that I would have had in my bus if I ever did a conversion. (Maybe not everything, I would cut the couch in half to make a office/table area) but this bus is amazing
BEAUTIFUL, LOVING COUPLE.
PERFECTLY MONITORED, SMART BUDGET AND IMMACULATELY REFRESHING, PEACEFUL AND CLEAN.....😍😍😍😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I love how transparent they are about cost, really refreshing to see
Quite easily one of the best bus builds I've seen. In fact, this one probably tops them all. There were so many great things about this design i loved, including stashing the electronics behind the couch which would be normally unused space, but also keeping them accessible for general maintenance, etc. The corner shelving in the shower/toilet wet room was also pretty nice. I never considered a short bus for lack of space, but this is a design I would personally be comfortable with. I would add a lagoon table at the couch for working from the laptop though.
That's one thing I would like, too. My favorite short skoolie so far is Valerie, ruclips.net/video/Z-pfiygpthQ/видео.html, but this is my second favorite. And Cecilia has a clean look that Valerie, for all the quirkiness and character that I like, lacks. But, to each his/her/their own!
Congrats....what a wonderful way to start your married life. Beautifully done. Best bus conversion I've seen in a long while.
Thank you from the wife and I. We’re working on our 30th year, so congrats to you guys. Love your build. Love, love it. We’re looking for practically the same thing you have but just for vacations/weekends till we sell our business and then, we’ll, who knows maybe another 30 years touring. Cheers, from Canada.
*CONGRATS ON YOUR MARRIAGE! Beautiful bus conversion, love the open space. Great deal on the fridge!!*
Proud of y'all. Your Dads really are great fathers. God bless you.
The convertible counter top, that raises, is brilliant. The kitchen is elegant in its simplicity. What a great build!
I love the book you have under your desk. That's the sweetest thing to hear you make your wife coffee in the morning 🌞! May God be with you and protect you during your journey!
❤️ this couple!!! Wish they had a youtube channel. Very!!! Inspired by them. The van is so clean✨⭐️✨⭐️✨
Maybe they will.. honeymoon season 1st😉
So great to see a clean bus not filled with hippie garbage. Simple, purposeful, clean, and affordable; this couple did it the right way.
You guys have got a great start. Keep on making your lovely wife breakfast everyday. That's a good way to stay happy. You've a lovely house. I wish you both a wonderful life together. Stay happy and healthy.
They are having fun and did a great bus conversion without worrying about money. Great job, congrats and happiness to you two.
Wonderful video.
Love this bus so light and airy. Most people use to dark of colors. Love the room to move around. And a great bathroom. Very clever ideas they used. And buying used items is the best idea so few do that.
This is one of the best van conventions. 😊 Looks amazing, well planned out & beautifully decorated WITH a bathroom (smart wife for put her foot down & smart husband for being so kind to his wife & building the bathroom and for making coffeeeee & pancakes for breakfast!! ☕️☕️) wow he’s keeper. Having a bathroom in a tiny bus is a great resale value and most importantly the only way to travel.
Congratulations Newlyweds ❤ Love your bus! Happy Trails.
I am not easily impressed and I usually don't comment, "BUT".. WoW!!! You guys did a great job! It's an incredible space! The floor plan that you chose makes the space look so big. :)
Love your skoolie, very simple,very,very clean, beautiful, congrats. Happy Trails, Newlyweds.
Congratulations on your wedding and for you adorable bus. May God bless you, your families and your travels.
Finally a build that is realistic to do by the average Joe and on a budget. Nice.
I have watched soooo many of these videos I’ve & seen many really cool schoolies & vans. But if I got to choose any one I want for my own, it would be this one. I love the simplicity, clean lines & color choices. It may be “sleek”, but it is very warm & inviting. Y’all did a fabulous job on this.... you too, “Dad”.
WOW 🤩 This is the best conversion I have ever seen. The greatest use of space and materials at a good price! This would be a great extra income. Make and sell! You guys are a great couple, a true inspiration for other young couples. many happy trails 😊
This is different than the other buses I have seen and I like this one. It has what you need to live in but it needs more cabinets or shelves. Congratulations to you two. Good work.
Love the clean openness (is that a word?!) of this one! I’m happy for this couple!
That’s so cool it was your wedding get away vehicle. I love it. It’s beautiful! This floor plan would work for my husband and I. We are doing a lot of talking about a van or bus conversion. A bus would be better. We are big people plus we want to travel with our dogs. The mix of rustic & contemporary is what I like. It looks good! And it’s great that solar and propane is all you need. Thank you for the encouragement! And the tour. You have a Very nice home! Congratulations on your marriage! Enjoy your new home. Be safe and stay well! Leslye
the layout in this bus is genious with the bathroom placement i mean i loved it amazing bus really
Really LOVE this couple, and the way the went through the bus tour! Great renovation! Really nice job!!
Love what u guys did with the bus.....not a lap of luxury but has everything u need....simple....thks for sharing!
This is a Beautiful Couple were they put alot of thought into budgeting this build of a Tiny Home on wheels. I rate this build 100% awesome planning. Your Pup 🐶 is ADORABLE Thanks for the tour Enjoyed and Blessings 🙏😇
This is the best one I have seen. This one's not to packed and the openness of it make it look bigger.
Toilet and shower make ALL the difference so be glad you listened to the Lady of the house =)
Hey, Matt! It’s PapaG!!! Glad to see you two enjoying life…really impressed with the bus! Sorry you have to sell it but…hey…family first!
Hope to see you soon!
This is truly a cool bus idea 😍😍😍
Theses are my goals for life finding someone who wants to do that with me 😍😍😍
nm mm (above) may still be looking for someone to share this lifestyle too. Just sayin.
I love it, the inside is beautiful, it’s roomy as well. Absolutely fantastic. Good luck for the future.
Love the brightness in the bus. Fantastic layout too
There's more than one way to have a home.. It's interesting, innovative and courageous..best of luck and happiness to you both.
Lynette Patton if your going to be disrespectful this is no place for that kind of inappropriate behavior
I like the layout. Never seen this layout before.. and it's clean and functional.
The curtain solution is very clever! Skoolies have so many windows and this is a fast way to cover and uncover them, very well done! Counter top looks like concrete and very soothing in hot climates with sun glare. Love the wood trim!
Making coffee in bed for your spouse is the best way to have a smooth marriage for many years
Get a shower pan soon as you can. Water will find a way through any wood, no matter how well you coat it. Add a slatted wood shower mat on top so your feet stay dry on the toilet. One way is to build it out of tiles using Schluter Kerdiboard as your backing, which is very lightweight. Use MAPEI mortar and Polymer, grout and Grout Maximizer (Polymer for grout) so you don't need Sealant and tiles won't pop out.
FYI to viewers: South Dakota Black Hills Needles Eye Tunnel: Height: 9' 9" x Width: 8' 0". Some RVs make it but most don't. Its in Custer State Park on the Needles Highway 87.
I've watch a million tiny home builds & Van conversions..This by far is one of the best, Beautiful van builds! Keep spoiling your wife and Happy camping! Thanks for the Look-see....Cheers .
Gorgeous bus, gorgeous newly-wed couple!!! Happy trails, happy life, "happy ever after"! Blessings to you!
Love the simplicity and congratulations on your “I Do”! I wish you all the best and hope you get to enjoy yourself with your home on wheels for many years to come! Makes me wish I was young again to do all this myself.
_The very best to both of you, have a long and happy life! Sweet set up, really dig the simplicity of the curtains, very smart. I like!_
GREAT, NEW ideas!
Love the fact that you paced your video to showcase your awesome home without wasting our time.
You're both very pleasant & seem most interesting . . . . . Of course, I subbed! 💞👵
This is best bus /home design I’ve seen,by far best layout love it so much.so well done and looks better than hundred grand bus .
You both did a great job on the bus one of the best I have seen, wide open, efficient and very pleasing to the eye - you should be very proud of yourselves!
Your bus conversion is just great. I'd love to have this to just enjoy being free to enjoy travel life. ILOVE IT!
Congrats on your new life together! Nice job.
Congrats on your marriage and your happy life together! I love the conversion, great job planning, organization, and interior design! What a great way to start a new life together!
Echoing many comments here. Their timeline, resourcefulness and I think pragmatic approach to the build makes me consider a project like this myself. Well done.
I love the light and brightness. One of the best I've seen! Nice couple too.
Beautiful & functional! Inspirational! God Bless You! ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️
i always wished i could have done this when i was younger so glad that you both took advantage of your youth to be adventurous
I love their tiny home. It's so efficient, clean, and looks spacey
Absolutely Love your bus layout! We bought a bus same size! 2006 blue bird diesel. Excited to see how ours turns out; you Really Inspired us!! Thanks for sharing!
Love the brightness and openness!!
I love the simplicity of your build. Great job.
I LOVE your home! You have done such a nice job. It has everything I would need. Enjoy your time in it and your time with each other.
Love it. Get the packing cubes to keep all your clothes nice and neat and your closet looking 'organized'. one cube for jeans, another for tshirts, and so on, and you'll be surprised how much you can pack in those things, free up lots of storage, I use them even for shoes, toiletries, etc
💕Wow! What an amazing way to start a newlywed life! You have done a fabulous job on the schoolie! You found a lot of major DEALS! It was meant to be! I love almost ALL of you ideas. I'd have to tweak a few things being an older disabled person 🛵 ... like an elevator to the deck! LOL 😂
A seriously well thought out design! Just add cruise control (plug n play kind)!
Just can't tell you how proud I am of y'all! You done great! 🦋
Absolutely one of the best I have seen: so clean and well designed, functional and the open space and combination of wood and white creates an overall feeling of peaceful openness. The systems and components fit together so well, a sign of good design. Little details well thought out. Organization + careful planning + top grade inexpensive materials = beautiful functional living space. Impressive.
To describe this bus/tiny home I would simply say it's GREAT.
Fabulous work guys well done ☺️☺️

I can’t believe how beautiful this is and how little they spent!! One of my favorite builds for sure!!
Thankyou for actually telling us what it cost! I don't know if I'm the only one that think "I wonder how much that cost" so thankyou for sharing this information. Love the conversion you both done! It looks awesome 👌😊😁 xx
Perfect conversion!! What a way to start a life together, Congratulations! Be safe.
Congratulations on your adventures with your beautiful home 🏡 Many blessings to you both!
I absolutely love your layout. I live all the simple, clean lines. The bed layout is also really clever as it allows a bigger bathroom.
I thought the headline read ; under $10, that would have been unbelievable. I just LOVE how you used part of the top deck of the bus as a viewing / hand-out platform. Amazing, and the maintenance will be a lot cheaper than a house / apartment.
Charming, functional, affordable...brilliant!
Nicely done, so light & airy inside. Wishing you safe travels.
I have only recently become interested in the traveling short bus conversion life! So far I have found a few designs that I like and yours might be my favorite! I love the budget simplistic approach, the color scheme and overall feel! Congratulations all around!
Beautiful home you have made. I dream of a tiny home. I no exactly the plan. Be safe stay healthy most of all have fun. Again your home is amazingly beautiful.
You's have done an awesome job, best design I've seen on a short bus. Congratulations on your marriage 🥂
I always love the long slide out drawers everywhere for easy accessible storage.
Wow that's a really thoughtful layout. It looks like a actual class c layout.
I love love your bus/home. I also love how you placed ur bathroom. Its different, but awesome. Great idea. Be safe, be well.
I've been through those tunnels on the Needles road in South Dakota. It felt close in a van... Y'all are brave souls for taking Cecilia through. Hats off to you!
I absolutely love it when I see young kids or should I say young adults with so much craftsmanship ability. You should be very proud of yourself what a beautiful build and a wife that knows how to save money
This Camper is Absolutely Beautiful, and I Love it!!!
A favorite conversion for sure. Nice and open and I love hearing about the deals. It reminds you that it’s possible to find some really great and affordable stuff if you keep your eyes open!
Thanks for sharing!! Been wanting to do this for awhile but had only seen the easy expensive conversion but this shows you can still have everything without breaking the bank!
Nice job, looks very functional and with Swedish simplicity. I would redo the bathroom with a real shower pan (steel is best and looks good). The wood will leak and swell no matter what surface coating it gets. Ditto for the cedar wall behind. Looks great, but absorbs then releases too much moisture and will get moldy. There is very lightweight backerboard called Schluter Kerdiboard which comes encased in a waterproof barrier. They also make a waterproof membrane. I would use these on walls and floor before installing vinyl, tile, or steel shower pan. Don't take any shortcuts on bathroom.
Steel would look nice I think.
I’m sure he knows he’s pressing his luck. 1 yr. anniversary is a new shower. Lol
Congrats to the newlyweds and their excellent conversion!!! If I may, I offer a bit of advice about the sink. Sand down the underside of the basin with a fine grit sandpaper and the countertop where it connects. Then go to an autobody supply and buy some tack rags & some "Duramix". (It's a self mixing two part tube.) Make sure you get the semi rigid type and apply it to the bottom of the basin and the part of the countertop it will connect to; after you've rubbed them both down with the tack rags (to get all the dust and extra bits of debris off)... let it cure (doesn't take long) and I doubt you'll ever have a problem with it breaking loose again. Cheers!!! 😘
they can also buy a $3 tube of urethane calk and put some on the bottom. easy fix
LOL that is called the Iron Mountain road in Custer State park. I hope you got to see some buffalo and that you fed bread to the burros. I love your frugal attitude with this build. It looks like you got everything you need and didn't break the bank. Happy travels!
That is a really good looking bus! You two did a great job with your conversion! I wish you many safe journey’s together in your bus! WW
Nice👍 You guys did an awesome job! Congrats on your marriage & your first home!🎉🎊♥️👏
I really like the bedroom and bathroom layout. I haven't seen anything like that. Saved this to my roadlife ideas private playlist. ☺
Definitely goals. I love the simple design, that's definitely the direction I am going with my van. Thanks for sharing.
