She says 'please don't look too closely at the curtains, they're very badly sewn. Videographer: slowly and very closely pans down curtains intently 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 But truly, what a fun build!! A lot of truth spoken here ❤️ I love it!
I've watched a lot of bus tours. The interview with them talking about changing your lifestyle and not being trapped in a soul sucking "supposed to" box is the best way I've ever heard it put. So inspiring!
You're an adorable couple. Good for you that you realise what important in life now. Good mental health and live in the now. Love and hugs from Dublin Ireland 🍀💚🍀💚🍀
If you think about where you can park the shuttle bus once you are envisioning living in it, perhaps renting a spot on a friend's property where there are no homeowners association regs or out in the country with the same thing where you rent or even work in lieu of your stay there. So once you have that part figured out, think of it like this... If you took 4 months rent or mortgage payment and add it together, you could probably buy a bus. Think about whether you would want to do a roof raise or buy something that is already taller. This is why I chose a shuttle bus. So once your first investment is buying the actual vehicle, you've just bought your house! Every cent that you put into it is an investment! Just like a home or dwelling there will always be maintenance and upgrades needed along the way. Once you realize this, then you realize that you can do this! Does it go as planned, hardly ever! Downsizing is the first important thing because you got to get rid of everything you don't need. It's excess weight. We've been taught to buy buy buy but when you are in any kind of a bus or nomadic life, you realize you have more than you really need. It's actually the beauty of it! Look at what you can use that you already have for your bus. Or if you're lucky enough to have materials available, got that sucker and start building your home! You're worth it! At that point you can pretty much live anywhere you want to! If you don't like your spot, turn the key and drive off :-)
As beautiful as this bus is on video is even more gorgeous in person. 💖 Also Eric and Robbyn are 2 of the most amazing human beings I've ever met. They taught me so much about this lifestyle and helped me in so many ways. Love them both with all my heart. Can't wait to see you guys again!
I heard a lot of other van life people talk about the shower thing, but honestly as long as you have soap and water your good to go!!! 👍 I love your bus layout, it looks really homey, and good for you guys living your best life!!! ❤️
Stop and think about the millenia people didn't have showers. Was nobody clean? Maybe not like modern clean, but healthy. They just washed with soap and water.
@@baskervillebee6097 I remember staying at my great grandma's place as a child, there was no indoor bathroom, but there were big metal washtubs for bathing in. I feel so old for just saying that!!! Lol I remember her heating up the water on the wood stove. She would put some cold water in first of course. Lol
I absolutely ADORE this couple!!!! I'm 35yrs old and already looking to live this life. I'm currently searching for my starter vehicle. I wish them all the best in their journey and hope I'm not far behind them!
What a wonderful job you have done. Congrats. It was so sweet to see her getting emotional while talking about finding their best way of living. I'm happy you find your way.
I was completely transfixed listening to the both of you. Well-spoken and frank. You found your delight in life and it is nice to hear from people who have been actually living in their vehicle for longer than six months. Thank you for sharing the pluses and minuses.
I’ve never seen the solar panels mounted like that on the side of the vehicle. A+ creativity when faced with the desire to keep the existing storage space on the roof. They do face a greater risk of either vandalism to the panels or damage from road debris, so it’s a trade-off which I’m sure they must have evaluated.
Love your bus and think you are smart to "seize the day" and live life now. I about worked myself to death--very stressful management position--for ten years, before I took early retirement on my 60th birthday. I make a fraction of what I would have earned if I had worked 4 more years, but who's to say you'll have them? Also as I hope to live to ancient, like most of my relatives, I'll get that money back and then some over the years. Your philosophy on life is also mine. Well met.
👍 great video. Was great that it addressed some of my concerns about beginning bus life. Right now Eric & Robyn are at my place building out my bus. Eric is AWESOME ! CARPENTER ! Originally we discussed building out my galley. I figured I could rough out the majority of the build and didn’t need perfect. But I didn’t want my cabinets and counter tops to look “cobbled “ together so I reached out to them. Eric has jumped right in to the whole bus build (though he said preferred smaller projects) and is a blessing of information and decision help. Robyn has become a wonderful friend who is a joy to be around and she and my brother are having cooking contests. Happy crew 👍🏻😁 As Wanderboom he is posting videos of my big bus build so pop over to their channel and check it out. I’m looking forward to beginning my nomad adventure. But absolutely best of all is knowing I have the excellent enjoyable friendship of Robyn & Eric out there, no matter if we’re traveling together or not. A meet up in the desert is definitely in the future. If they are any indication of the caliber and quality of people you’re going to meet out there ….. I agree with Robyn ….. “Let’s go !” 👍🏻😁❤️
I freaking love you both. I’m so happy I saw this. I’ve been planning on this life for a few years, waiting for my kids to be more independent before I start. And watching you both living your best life is so satisfying. I’m so happy for you for breaking out of the conventional life and living the life you love. I hope I run into you when it’s my turn. Just to hug you and say thank you. Much love. Have fun.
We soooo appreciate this video! Hubby and I just retired and are in the process of building out a 6 window shuttle bus. We are musicians and hope to play as we travel. We are creative souls and plan to carry his shop tools and my sewing/beading/macrame supplies. All the topics you mentioned we have discussed. We have also come to the conclusion that simplicity gives you more variety in how you use your space and enjoy time. We hope to meet you on the road! Cheers!
I know these guys and have been in their bus - it's really awesome! Eric is an amazing woodworker and Robyn is a stellar cook! Such cool people just love them!
What’s the long term plans … like when you’re 10, 20 years older ? When you physically can’t live in that ? We traveled for a few years in a class C. Loved it. We miss it, but we bought some cheap land and my husband has built our house. No mortgage … we pay as we go. So, that is also very freeing. The thing with traveling in a motor home, is you most always have to pay to park it somewhere. But I do love the traveling lifestyle. We plan on traveling again when my husband retires in a few years.
Thanks for sharing your home with us. So many little touches I love, including the small shelves above the bed, the back door that can open, the kitchen counters and your positive approach to each other and to sharing the journey together. Makes me wish my husband and I had retired early and converted a bus to do the traveling we both yearned for.
I've been wanting to do this for years my problem is I can't afford to get a rig but I'm determined to get one. Thank you for sharing your opinion and tour.🙏❤️
Your bus is beautiful. I retired at 55. I had some medical issues but they are under control. I am 56 and ready to hit the road. I hope to leave in October after my birthday. I am beyond excited. Being a solo female has never stopped me from traveling. Work should never take over your life. Thanks for sharing and safe travels.
She’s so sweet, I understand when you realize, “this isn’t what makes us happy!” Wish her husband comforted her, but I also “understand” that to. Good for them….❤️❤️
I know them personally they are 2 of my favorite humans in the planet, please don't speak on things you know NOTHING about. "Wish her husband comforted her" you don't know them or their relationship that was an unnecessary comment.
Yep, the whole visiting Europe will change the way we live our lives. Been through all of those feelings. We are about half way with our bus build. I hope to meet you guys on the road one day. Our bus is the Huckleberry :)
I felt like this at 30 years old, when 2017 before my cousin passed he the words that stuck with me was when he said I wish I had traveled more, cause he had been on a job for years missed no days perfect attendance. He said I wish i could've did things different instead of being a workaholic. 6 months later he passed. Him knowing he had 6 months to live he never mentioned it or complained. That implanted a seed in me live life, do what I want what makes me happy. I don't wanna be on my death bed wishing I had've..
This hit so close especially the part about the soul sucking corporate matrix. I'm 53, just got fired from a job I thought I would retire from, whole future just shot to shit and me nearly homeless contemplating my existence and researching peaceful ways to just check out of the whole thing. The opportunity to buy a shuttle bus or skoolie is on the table and before I rent another apartment I'll spend my unemployment lump sum on my new house on wheels. Invest in some starlink equipment and start scraping for interiors. Thank you for your tears ma'am, as I gather them with mine. This was inspirational and got me vision boarding to manifest my semi-retirement and forever home on wheels.
This is one of the most enjoyable videos of its kind that I have watched. And , I have watched many. You folks are so real and personable. Thanks so much for the tour.
So glad to see that the video was covering you guys. It was like seeing old friends. I have a shuttle bus like yours (not done) and I followed you guys early on. I was impressed with your first walk thru video and had to laugh at all the comments about Eric saying he showered once a week. When my dad semi retired he finally turned his shower into a closet and just washed up at the sink. The tent is a cool option. You guys are so far ahead of the rat race. All the best!
Great life philosophy. Lovely (and obviously happy and contented) couple with the courage to go against the norm and live their best lives. Bus is comfortable and practical..compromises seem few. Kudos to you! May life continue to be joyful. Hey from Australia.
Thank you so much Eric and Robbyn! I have been obsessed with planning a build for a few months and now watching this video has touched my soul. Truely inspiring!
Hi guys ,just love your philosophical approach to tiny house living it is so refreshing and to life in general,love your bus build everything serves a purpose without the frills Thank you for letting us into your home. Regards from Hereford UK.
Wow...this really got to me when you talked about life expectancy...my sweet hubby is 14½years older than me. We've had our own HVAC/R company for 32cyears. He's 67 years old now. And still runs circles around out MUCH younger technicians. I've been BEGGING him to retire, sell our home and travel together in a van or schooling. We're both previously divorced and have a blended family. So we have never really been alone. All I want to do is be together and live a nomadic lifestyle. He was TOTALLY AGAINST it until the last 2 months. He doesn't want to get rid of our house (we own outright), and is nervous about leaving the business in someone else's hands. When you started crying and describing exactly why y'all decided to do this, I broke down. 💔 😔 Praying that he'll watch this video and SERIOUSLY CONSIDER doing this with the time we have left. I love your build and the woodwork. My husband is also a carpenter, and hand built beautiful solid maple cabinets for our kitchen and s huge beautiful table for our 8 person family. We were blessed with 6 children (3 girls & 3 boys). Now we have 13 amazing grandchildren!! My dream also includes building 2-4 loft bunks to be able to take our children and/or our grandchildren on trips as well. Thank you for sharing this personal information with us!! God bless you and keep you in your travels!! ✝️ ❤️ 🙏🏼 🕊
I really hope you two get to enjoy life in the fashion you desire. Travel, get some r & r. There is more to life than just working. But not sell your home and business, especially the home. It can be hard to walk away from something you built, invested so much in. And to trust someone else with it. I pray God will send someone he can trust to run the business. 🙏🙏🙏
Oh, I LOVE this couple! They are so nice! I wonder if they have room for me? I'll sleep on the floor... And my husband won't mind, because he refuses to do vanlife or even travel with me!! 😂🥺😭🙄
Well done, do it because you want to, not because you should & whats "Normal" 8/4 9/5 & then what... go see the country / world enjoy the beautiful places in the world while your able. The key is, be happy. Well done for the honesty. Greetings from Ireland 🇨🇮
Love your attitude and your home. If it were me I'd make 2 sets of curtain hooks where you can move your curtains down a notch and you can open your upper windiws
Great job and mind set!! We use one of the portable instant showers that runs off a 20 lb. tank and pressure water. Only uses 4 D cell batteries for power which I have never changed.Works fantastic, instant on and all you want. All the best...
I parked in almost the same spot at Elephant Butte when I stopped there last year-on the way to Quartzsite. Maybe within feet of where you parked, LOL. Lots of stars over the lake.
I love the wood work, very nice. Great job.. I also love the grasscloth on luan plywood for the ceiling, just beautiful. Good luck to you guys, lovely bus, enjoy.. ✌️❤️😘
I've been in my shuttle bus conversion for 3 years now and I'm just eyeing your side solar panel setup! I'm sure it's nice for shade too! Have also been considering a trailer but haven't been able to decide. Awesome rig!!
Eric and Robin I love your Bus/ RV...it is very beautiful.. Good luck to you both... And please be safe in your travels... I hope to be able to do that myself one day before the good lord calls me home..again congrats to you both....
Curious to know how much more weight does the wood cabinetry & counters add compared to cheaply made crap? I LOVE your wood work!!!! 👍😉 Showering is over rated when living tiny!! A bed bath ( if that's what they are still called, do people remember those?) 🤣🤣🤣 Are perfect daily to get rid of stink. Lol A bar of soap, a bowl of water & a wash cloth....WHAT A CONCEPT, right? 🤣🤣🤣 Best part of day....WAKING UP HAPPY & STRESS FREE!!!!✝️🙏 BLESS YOU BOTH!!! I noticed your NV plates, Im in Reno.😉
Looks like a comfy home. As to the curtains, the first person one who critiques them is the one who makes the new curtains... And they'd better be perfect! Love all your doors and the openness of the interior of the van, it's connection to the outdoors. The outdoor shower sounds like fun. I've looked at them on Amazon and thought that would be great on a camping trip. This setup works well for you guys, go forth with God's blessings in good health and happiness!
I dig it. I've seen your bus on another channel. I like the solar panel idea. I was trying to figure out a way to put them on the side. That would work, and protect the windows to vent.
She says 'please don't look too closely at the curtains, they're very badly sewn.
Videographer: slowly and very closely pans down curtains intently
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 But truly, what a fun build!! A lot of truth spoken here ❤️ I love it!

I DRIVE A SHUTTLE BUS EVERY DAY. MY CONSTANT THOUGHT IS, WHAT IF I HAD ONE OF THESE FOR OUR HOUSE!!!
Sounds like it's time to buy one and start building!

True! Definitely would use the kitchen sink to wash myself each day, I like to feel clean.
Stop and think about the millenia people didn't have showers. Was nobody clean? Maybe not like modern clean, but healthy. They just washed with soap and water.

@@hopehamby9287
How many millions of people lived just fine that way?
@@baskervillebee6097 and still do all over the world!!
Very nice, but having a shower in side is a must for me.
I absolutely ADORE this couple!!!! I'm 35yrs old and already looking to live this life. I'm currently searching for my starter vehicle. I wish them all the best in their journey and hope I'm not far behind them!
Look for a sprinter van it's amazing

Thanks for the tour. Enjoyed it! I retired at 62 I'll be 67 at the end of August. Wish me luck!
I wish I had the courage to give up my crappie 9 to 5 life like you guys, maybe on day…
Plan it!!!

There are people living full time out of Priuses, so you most likely can convert your current vehicle.
Save every penny you can. And then pray. I hope you find a way to make the money you need to get it done 🙏🏻
Very inspiring story. God bless and be safe. I’m recently retired and ready to rock in roll. ❤️🎯💯

I thought the same thing, and I don't blame them for not giving it away. I would of kept it as well.
I love how real you are. Do you realize how awesome you are ! For real. You are honest polite.Thank you ! I am now a subscriber of yours.
Whoops , I guess I will have to wait to be subscribing to you. In the mean time I am a subscriber of this site. Tiny homes
Great life philosophy. Lovely (and obviously happy and contented) couple with the courage to go against the norm and live their best lives. Bus is comfortable and practical..compromises seem few. Kudos to you! May life continue to be joyful. Hey from Australia.
Thank you so much for sharing your creative and adventurous lifestyle! ❤️🙏❤️
Yay. I’ve watched them for years. They have helped so many. I hope to meet you in my travels 😀
So happy for u guys! Enjoy your retirement!❤
I just bought a bus yesterday, your comments about mortgage and money, and living free. Stimulating and amazing, I can't wait to start my journey.
Enjoyed your tour and conversation! What you said is so true, here in US!
Bless you both, safe travels! 🙏♥️🙏♥️

“…We are very happy…” ❤️
Nice for your update. Great ideas
Solar panel installation is next level!!!😍😍😍
Wow...this really got to me when you talked about life expectancy...my sweet hubby is 14½years older than me. We've had our own HVAC/R company for 32cyears. He's 67 years old now. And still runs circles around out MUCH younger technicians. I've been BEGGING him to retire, sell our home and travel together in a van or schooling. We're both previously divorced and have a blended family. So we have never really been alone. All I want to do is be together and live a nomadic lifestyle. He was TOTALLY AGAINST it until the last 2 months. He doesn't want to get rid of our house (we own outright), and is nervous about leaving the business in someone else's hands. When you started crying and describing exactly why y'all decided to do this, I broke down. 💔 😔 Praying that he'll watch this video and SERIOUSLY CONSIDER doing this with the time we have left. I love your build and the woodwork. My husband is also a carpenter, and hand built beautiful solid maple cabinets for our kitchen and s huge beautiful table for our 8 person family. We were blessed with 6 children (3 girls & 3 boys). Now we have 13 amazing grandchildren!! My dream also includes building 2-4 loft bunks to be able to take our children and/or our grandchildren on trips as well. Thank you for sharing this personal information with us!! God bless you and keep you in your travels!! ✝️ ❤️ 🙏🏼 🕊
I really hope you two get to enjoy life in the fashion you desire. Travel, get some r & r. There is more to life than just working.
But not sell your home and business, especially the home.
It can be hard to walk away from something you built, invested so much in. And to trust someone else with it.
I pray God will send someone he can trust to run the business.
🙏🙏🙏
Great video! Love the update on your bed, looks so much more comfy! 🤗
Oh, I LOVE this couple! They are so nice! I wonder if they have room for me? I'll sleep on the floor... And my husband won't mind, because he refuses to do vanlife or even travel with me!! 😂🥺😭🙄
So inspiring.........
Very nice! Y'all have one of the better builds I have seen. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful home. Warm greetings from Australia and safe travels.
Awesome ❤️. Love it. I need this for my mental health.
I believe that we should not worry about what other's think. Live the way that makes you happy 😊
We second that! :)
Love your home
Beautiful
Great information 👍 👌
So cozy and impressive!!!
So nice and cozy - I love your bus.
Well done, do it because you want to, not because you should & whats "Normal" 8/4 9/5 & then what... go see the country / world enjoy the beautiful places in the world while your able. The key is, be happy. Well done for the honesty. Greetings from Ireland 🇨🇮
I absolutely love this tiny home it’s so comfy looking ❤❤❤
I've been following Wander Boom for years and very much enjoy their videos. Glad you shared their story.
Very nice! Thank you for sharing!
Amazing thanks for sharing
Now that is a cozy tiny home!
i really loved your story.
Love these folks! They are very relatable. And thanks for a lot of tips for my build! Thanks Tiny Home Tours!
I love the belt idea! We have a bunch of old ones.
Really liked your video, stay safe and happy.
You're such cool people! Love your bus!
Love your attitude and your home. If it were me I'd make 2 sets of curtain hooks where you can move your curtains down a notch and you can open your upper windiws
Wonderful home and lifestyle. Sooo nicely done.
Great job and mind set!! We use one of the portable instant showers that runs off a 20 lb. tank and pressure water. Only uses 4 D cell batteries for power which I have never changed.Works fantastic, instant on and all you want. All the best...
nice and so clever couple !
Nice build. Love some of the unique ideas specially the side wall Solar.
I think the side mount solar panels is brilliant. Doubles as a shade and if you did both sides you can triple what would only be on the roof.
Very nice, functional which many folks don't seem to understand.
I love your video! What a great and encouraging explanation! It made so much sense to me! You need to enjoy life!
Fantastic Job, your home is fabulous
I parked in almost the same spot at Elephant Butte when I stopped there last year-on the way to Quartzsite. Maybe within feet of where you parked, LOL. Lots of stars over the lake.
Beautiful! I love this layout, kudos to a great job on the build out. I may have to steal some of your ideas❤️
Thank you! You two are great thanks for helping me to decide on a few things. Your great ever get to Wisconsin let me know. Thanks Tim
Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed you philosophy. It's much like our own and that does my and my wife well. Namaste. Jay
well done love your bus and attitude regards from New Zealand :)
I love the wood work, very nice.
Great job..
I also love the grasscloth on luan plywood for the ceiling, just beautiful. Good luck to you guys, lovely bus, enjoy..
✌️❤️😘
I've been in my shuttle bus conversion for 3 years now and I'm just eyeing your side solar panel setup! I'm sure it's nice for shade too! Have also been considering a trailer but haven't been able to decide. Awesome rig!!
Eric and Robin I love your Bus/ RV...it is very beautiful.. Good luck to you both... And please be safe in your travels... I hope to be able to do that myself one day before the good lord calls me home..again congrats to you both....
Awesome video awesome people. Awesome bus. This is one of best built shuttle bus on the planet. Awesome awesome 🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇨🇦
Curious to know how much more weight does the wood cabinetry & counters add compared to cheaply made crap? I LOVE your wood work!!!! 👍😉
Showering is over rated when living tiny!! A bed bath ( if that's what they are still called, do people remember those?) 🤣🤣🤣 Are perfect daily to get rid of stink. Lol A bar of soap, a bowl of water & a wash cloth....WHAT A CONCEPT, right? 🤣🤣🤣
Best part of day....WAKING UP HAPPY & STRESS FREE!!!!✝️🙏
BLESS YOU BOTH!!!
I noticed your NV plates, Im in Reno.😉
The cedar is actually very light and the way I built the cabinets has far less heavy particle board or plywood.😉👍
Looks like a comfy home. As to the curtains, the first person one who critiques them is the one who makes the new curtains... And they'd better be perfect! Love all your doors and the openness of the interior of the van, it's connection to the outdoors. The outdoor shower sounds like fun. I've looked at them on Amazon and thought that would be great on a camping trip. This setup works well for you guys, go forth with God's blessings in good health and happiness!
Smiles! 😊
I dig it. I've seen your bus on another channel. I like the solar panel idea. I was trying to figure out a way to put them on the side. That would work, and protect the windows to vent.
