I honestly think this is the best shorty I have seen. It's easily 4 season livable, while balancing all the amenities with being small enough to actually boondock in fairly remote areas. You guys knocked it out of the park!

My only suggestion for nearly all of these small builds would be to round the corners near entries or doorways. It's a small space, relative to a house, and rounding the corners provides a softer surface when the person inevitably bumps into something. There is a lot of really excellent work here. I enjoyed this video.

Well Charlie, you and your build crew, including the expensive giggling camera person, didn't just build a nice bus. You built a luxury studio apartment that just happens to be movable. I'm impressed by the thought and design that created a beautiful living space, unlike any other I have seen. If you and you're Chrome Yellow Team hadn't decided to take a little time to enjoy you're lives, I believe you calendar would have been swamped with customers trying to get you to create similar builds. The Monarch's royal road crew will be able to venture far and wide in unmatched style and comfort. I look forward to what you and Ben will create for yourselves. A most informative and entertaining video on a one of kind build.

This is the Best hour long skoolie conversion tour I have ever watched. Normally I would look at the time and think no way am I going to watch this for an hour. I did and I loved it! I was engrossed with explanations on everything from solar to the knob on toilet to lift lid . Thank you! I have been studying RV's Skoolie's etc ..for 7 yrs. I have made up my mind, I would like a skoolie just like this one! I did live in a RV for 3 yrs until mechanically it broke down. Now I have gained knowledge and soon would like a skoolie this size and your company to convert it exactly like this one! I trust every word you said and trust my decision . I hope you 'll still be doing this work. I have one year before I'll be ready. Truly my Dream bus!! The intelligence of your words as a Professional in this area of work is enlightening! Thank You and the young lady sharing her bus for the tour! Beautiful

Really nice! I’ve been following Regretlyss through the build, but loved this video as it showed the full completed project. Absolutely beautiful! ❤️

That is one of the best shorty buses I have ever seen! Great work, Charlie! Looking forward to more of your content.

she's a very lucky woman to own this, dare a say PERFECT and beautiful bus. you've done an incredible useful well thought out and efficent build. if i ever get my dream fulfilled i'm going to insist you're "the guy". mucho kudos! ☮

Hi Charlie.. Stumbled across Regretlyss some time ago, and watched most of your build videos for the Monarch. This video was great… a complete and concise encapsulation of all the modifications that you and your crew performed which helped answer some questions for me. Alyssa posted a video last week of her 20ﾟbelow 0 experience that raised some concerns from me which I addressed to her in the comments section. Your video cleared those questions up, specifically that there is both a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector, and that the propane equipment is vented. Your video referenced the vent for the on demand hot water heater in your external walk around, but nothing was said about a vent for the oven. Is it vented? Great video, Charlie, and an amazing build. Your knowledge and craftsmanship are 2nd to none!!! I wish you the best and whatever the future holds for you.

Loved following Alyssa’s channel for this build and watching you and your shipmates (er.. shop mates* but going to leave shipmates because that sounds cool) tackle this great build! Definitely has given me some ideas what I want to do when I decide to take the plunge. Great work and came out phenomenal! For both you and Alyssa: 1. What was your favorite part of the build to work on? 2. What was your least favorite/more difficult item to do on the build? 3. Hindsight, what are things you would have done differently/changed? Also, Charlie (sp?): How difficult is it to do a slide out on a skoolie and have you ever done one?

Such a great build... I'd venture to say that is the best schoolie build ever! :) Congrats!

I watch regretless religiously and you have taught me so much! I wish I could have you do my build but I do hope you enjoy your new journey and will be watching out for more of your work ❤️

This was a fantastic tour and explanation of the bus. I only started watching Alyssa's KZfaq videos recently and I know next to nothing about these vehicles, so this was really interesting. It's clear you know your stuff, and you focus on the important details in your builds. A very impressive build out, for sure. This is one self-sufficient home on wheels. Well done.

I think you all are like a fine oiled machine! You all work so well together and came together for her in a big way! You all did an amazing job on the bus!!! If I got a bus remodel, or even a regular camper remodel, I'd want it made JUST like that!!! But since you aren't doing a full rebuild anymore, anyone I'd go to could never do it as phenomenal as you!!! I absolutely love every single thing about the rebuild. I follow her channel so I was able to see all the videos of how things were done. Thank you for the tour. You all are fantastic, and always kept her needs met for the bus. Safety wise too. 👌

👌🤣Boy! She has a very nice sense of humor!! And the dog in the middle of a nape… You all made feel home… 👍 💛💙💔🇻🇪

Great recap of the build. Love your thought processes and problem solving, great creative solutions! Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely my favorite build of all of them I have watched. I’m 78 yo and I could actually live with this arrangement. Love it!!

This is by far the most beautiful and best laid-out short skoolie with the BEST features I have ever seen. Great build!

Amazing! Grateful! Took copious notes. Wishing you both the best as you move forward

This video is an awesome tour of an awesome Home. Monarch is a beautiful testament to an amazing team that built her. Well done.

You are truly the best commentator I have ever heard. Love your sense of humor.I like listening to you as much as seeing the video. Keep talking Chuck, you are great at it and know when enough is enough.😊

All of you guys ar chrome yellow did a fantastic job on Alyssa‘s bus build. Keep up the great work and don’t stop making videos. I love watching them.

The safety features are everything! I'm beyond impressed with this beauty! Talk about a house on wheels! So beautiful! Happy adventures Alyssa!❤️🙏

Came over from Regretless channel! This was a great video! Can’t wait to see what else you bring to your channel. God bless you Charlie. ❤️

That bus is pure art !!! You have some mad skills Charlie.

This video was very long but I loved every minute of it. I really enjoyed all of her videos of the build. You did some fantastic work on this bus, she's lucky to have had you help her with this, it's quality.

Brilliant build out! Best I have ever seen. Great job.

That is a fabulous build,beautiful design & love the colors,the Rio sweet!! enjoy be safe

Great video. Definitely a build with a lot of TLC included. Very homey and great job on a beautiful and functional bus.

You're definitely my new favorite builder! I have a van, but your experience and expertise is useful in all builds!

Oh my gosh I absolutely love this bus… this is really the build I have been dreaming of. It has everything I have wanted. Wow great job

Dude I really like how meticulous and detailed you are, that's a sign of a great Craftsman and intelligent person.

Magnificent build. She and her pup are very lucky to have this home💕

Love this bus.It has everything in a shorty bus I would want without any sacrifice.Would love to have one like this maybe a llittle diffrent.Love Rio.It looks like he enjoys it as well.Thank You so much for sharing.

Y'all made an incredible machine! I'm really floored by the amount of "thought-of-everything" put in there. Great work!

A really nice bus conversion! Wishing you safe and wonderful adventures!

Best bench seat ever! Rachel is a genius, and you're pretty darn smart too. You've given me a bunch of ideas, many thanks.

Looking forward to the tour. :)

So much information crammed into a shorts video. Thanks for taking the time to video this. I just bought a 2007 Chevy express 2500 van from the company I work for so I’ve been watching how to insulate it so I can camp in it. I don’t need a full conversion as I have a travel trailer but sometimes I just like to go to the mountains and just camp out in the van but it’s low 20s here at night and learned that that van was colder to sleep in than my tent with a Mr buddy.

Hi Chuck, love the way you and your team approached this built. You made it perfect 👌 for the owner and her specific needs. You also were there for her to take care of problems that occurred after the build as time went on. Your attention to detail was superb. All in all a great 😊 video, take care Chuck and have a great day.

thats is insane how ingenious that build is. blows my mind how talented you all are.love how rio is just chillin on the bed.

Amazing, the best I have seen. I can`t believe how much you were able to do with such a small space.

Very nice build. Love the way such a small space is highly functional lacks really nothing that you need in any home, which is really cool.

Great build. Definitely a bus that has it all and makes you feel safe in all situations and at home.

Most people don't like hr long tours but I'm glad you took the time to go through this one. It's going to be super helpful in my boxvan I'm building...thankyou

WOW!~ How cool! I just saw a video with Wes where this short skoolie was in the parking lot! It turned out really nice! Great job!

Absolutely love all the quirky little things you guys thought of. Would love this space for myself. Enjoy.

This is absolutely a beautiful build. One of the best I have seen.

My favorite short bus build I have seen. I love this one. I absolutely love the turntable aka record player.

Great build …… Montana nomad here … suggesting simple engine block heater for 7.3 actually all engines in cold weather. I own 97 f - 250 7.3 bought new over 300k miles . Save your engine using block heater all the power she has no problem, plug in / turn on couple hours be fore starting . Love this build young lady!

F'n AWESOME........I can't even begin to describe the positive impact these videos incorporate.......thanks for sharing.....

Absolutely, My favorite design layout it is so nice an open. In my dream bus I need an art desk fit in! Beautiful work as always!!

I was JUST wishing for a "This Old House" but with nomad vehicle renovations and then I found your channel! Great work all around. Just FYI, that 40w draw on the mini split in cold weather is the crankcase heater. It warms the compressor and prevents premature damage during cold temperature operation. You can turn the breaker off when you aren't using it, but it is recommended on most units to have it powered up for at least 24 hours before actually running the compressor below certain temps. Thanks for all the info and videos!

I Love all the planning and thought that went into designing this, man it's so nice

I just was able to catch the rest of this video. Again what an organized and well thought out design. I have seen Alyssa’s bus start in negative 20 and it rocked. You set her up with a reliable and bad *as bus build.

I couldn't love this bus build any better, such a great job

Saving this video for the bathroom.! 👍👏 Love the setup & the leaded glass window 👌 😍 Well done!!

I am I love with her mini bus I see how well she lives in her spooling home. It’s cozy comfortable and really homey like❤️❤️👍🏻😎

Its beautiful. Like a work of art. You can have classy adventures and be comfortable.

Great build Charlie 😎 Brings me back to my auto body days So glad you have your own channel now. Been following Lyss since the beginning of her channel. Now happy to watch your channel as well. Lots of luck with it! ✌

Beautiful bud, great job!

Beautiful, great job!

I think that the layout is very nicely done. This is what I call a very convenient DIY with out any hassle. Sometimes a DIY made personally from others come out be at the end very inconvenient and space wasted not to mention very little storage to put anything. Very well though and organized. A++ for this Video.

This is a fabulous build, you guys did such a fantastic job and it's beautiful... I love this bus it's gorgeous

Amazing work!! Best set up I've seen.

That build is awesome. You guys all did a fantastic job on it.

Beautiful build, you all did an amazing job on it! Hope to meet you all one day out here on the road!

You guys did an amazing job and it’s very impressive

Great job you did. I followed the build. you and your crew did beautiful build. That you for taking care of all. You're a class plus guy.

Great work guys!

Yes! Thank you for the full tour I asked her where the heck her toilet got put 😂😆. you're such a great friend for helping her out. You're such a good teacher.

Such a beautiful job charlie!!!!!

Excellent tour... Thank you!

Incredible, thoughtful, attractive build...just like you. 😍😊🔥

This i# one of the best layouts I’ve seen. Great job!!!

This is more lavish than any cribs show mansion. Amazing job and research I to designing a fully functional road shelter. Mastercraft shortbus, it almost feels like you're in multiple rooms, but it's one short bus. This is the level of understanding that will be required of the average person to exist in the near low energy future. Hopefully this type of wisdom reaches the general public, because most homes are anything but modern

Best quality built shorty I’ve seen! I want one. 😍😍😍

Thankyou for the wonderful content! Both informative and entertaining!

Beautiful work and teamwork.

WoW !! Thank you for all of the information and insight your providing.

A brilliant design and the best schooly I have ever seen, bar nun! Well done!

Wow Chuck great planning with not a lot of space. Amazing results. Love the vid.

I watched the whole thing and learned a lot TY!

That's the most beautiful, realistic and useful interior I've ever seen with huge ideas and craftsmanship.

Totally agree about the fans. It is super frustrating how it craps the bed so quickly. I have one in my 5th wheel and it has a mind of its own. However it can really move the air nicely.

You’re a natural at the KZfaq game. A fountain of knowledge.

You guys did a beautiful job

So Chuck, the Video I just watched Here was a documentation of some Of the finest and most unique Craftsmanship that I have seen in my long Career of building Fine, Very high dollar Custom Homes! Your knowledge, Experience and Expertise of these Custom Mobile Living Spaces is truly Impressive.. The finished product is so Beautiful and evidently so functional that a Single Young Lady can take it out in to Extremely Harsh Weather and be Comfortable and Safe. My hat is off to you Sir. I wish I were younger as I would like to Use the knowledge that you have to build my own Custom Bus. I have Subscribed to your channel and I look forward to watching your upcoming videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge of your craft. MWP Cosby, Tn.

This genuinely is the best build I've seen on a small bus. Gorgeous and user friendly!

Makes me want to go cross country! What a great way to travel- it really is a little home!

first of your videos I've seen. love the bus-but the dog chilling through the whole thing-PRICELESS!

Charlie, this was a great ad for Chrome Yellow. What a way to finish there but at such a pinnacle of builds and with such an awesome team, why stop there? You could have full order books!

This is the best layout and build I've ever seen

Wow! What a build! Awesomeness! from New Mexico🙂

I love this one. I like the positioning of the bed and bathroom

I've never seen such a gorgeous bus. What a fabulous job and home!

What a great build, and a ton of new ideas. Everything seems like is was done with great care, seamless. But, hands down, the best part....that dog.

Just found you. I like your wry sense of humor. You're a multi-talented guy. You kept that bus so very stealth by applying the dirt at strategic locations on the exterior. Very smart. 😏😏😏😏😏

just love the build

Amazing build!

Enjoyed your presentation......keep up the good work.
