I just have to smile. They sold a fully probably furnished home and they’re like a couple of teenagers. Whatever works from friends who donate. They certainly know how to put it to use and are very adaptable. Would love to see it in five years.

the very best part of this video- the part that makes it not 'too long' and well worth watching all the way through for people considering this lifestyle- is how many times they both happily and casually said "yeah, that didn't work out like we thought" and "yeah, that is not perfect but works for us" and "yeah, we'll probably change that" and "yeah, that just happened to work out well". so along with a great bus tour, you got GOLDEN INFO- you got to witness the ~perfect~ attitude for living life on the road. anyone who complained about the video being too long: you might not be cut out for living tiny and mobile anyway.

What a cool couple, glad your living life for you and not being trapped in the rat race. Enjoy and safe travels.

We are surprised about the Coleman being used in an inclosed space, that would be a concern to me. Nice people, thanks for showing us your home. I feel bad that people are so negative and rude when they watch these videos. Honest and real🌺

I'm just like the bus, I don't care for cold ❄️🥶 either. 😆 Lol

Richard and Elizabeth are indeed happy with their home. Friendly couple. You are very fortunate to have so many friends who gave you so much. Safe travels and enjoy.

Interesting to watch but the more of these videos I watch the more I appreciate my house, back yard, garage, shower, bath tub, toilet, washer, dryer, stove, oven.... I am even cherishing my garden hose right now!

Wonderful bus home. The lady is a complete storyteller. Thank you.

I really love this build. It's simple yet perfect. Not overdone so it really looks comfortable and livable 👍🏽

I do like the color.😁

Pretty colors, clean.

These are lovely people...I wish them well

I really like this conversion. A rolling studio apartment, sans the rent! A clever combination of ideas that make up for any skill limits. The most important things are that you are comfortable, content & living the dream.

This is the most attractive bus that I have ever seen ‼️You guys have done an amazing job….Hope you are still enjoying ‼️❣️

Wow lots of storage lots of room to move around in that is so very awesome. . You both are so very happy cool bus it don’t even look like a bus when your in it. Cheap living right?? ENJOY YOUR NEW RIDE BE SAFE BE HAPPY STAY HEALTHY. THANK YOU FOR THE TOURE.❤️❤️🙏🙏

This is a very homey build and a bus that is welcoming. Elizabeth and Richard seem to be fun people to hang out with. Great attitudes.

Beautiful tiny house bus. Like the color of the sea. Suggestion the desk keep the top make it fold down like the other table. Put fold out bed back or another bench for extra seating. Pillows for back comfort. Blessings

Omg!!! It’s gorgeous!!!👠🚌👠

I like your bus. Thank you for taking the time to show us 🙂

Through actually living in the bus you find the changes you need to make and change as you go which I think works better I agree with how you change as you go

Beautiful tiny home on wheels 🤙🏽🤙🏽

I actually met you guys at TinyFest at Del Mar Fairgrounds this year. Such a pretty home you have. I'm really close to purchasing a bus and tricking it out as a home/pet grooming salon on wheels! Hope to meet up with you again someday soon.

I just love you two you are so sweet and I love your bus. It’s so practical and you’re not afraid to rip out something if it doesn’t work. I found you today and look forward to following you on your travels. TFS blessings from California.

Cute bus - lovely couple

Love your new home - use your IKEA desk by cutting in half and replace the one built. Possibly the other half can sit by your new couch! You’ll be making changes for a while - happy trails!!

A lovely home Lots of storage

That is awesome! What fun! 🤣😀

Very cool entry into Skoolie life. Nice job guys. Interested in the evolution a couple years down the road.

The child-proof locks are excellent thank you the bus is amazing. I'm getting ready to transition into a tiny house or bus I'm not really certain I'm getting cool ideas from you two stay beautiful yeah I have a beautiful spirit I watch a video several times thank you so much God bless Also your bus looks very homey comfortable I'm loving it God bless

it will all come together and change as you find out more and more what you do and don’t need

I like how your bus seems to be evolving, a work in progress. There are oodles of bus conversion videos here and I think you will find them useful. It does look rather thrown together. I think if you stop and draw out a master plan after binge watching videos you will get a smoother look. Best of luck on your travels, stay safe and have fun! 😋🦋🌸

I see Wess's bus behind yall! Looks great guys...

We are building our little house on wheels now. You showed a lot that I see I’m missing like storage for our food and more . Thanks for showing your home.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful bus. Your taste has inspired me to move closer to building a bus in the US and leave it for all my family from New Zealand to take opportunity to live the dream in being free from traps we enclose our selves in.

Y’all are awesome 🤩 god bless your hearts ♥️

We are wanting to do a bus. I think it will be perfect for traveling to see our children who live in other areas. I like the colors you used and the inside is gorgeous! Very behind, leslye

You are a loving couple many blessings to you both!

Love the Nunchucks!

I love candor. They make the build out less intimidating. Great team and Skoolie!!!

Great ideas. I just move the little red ball along the red line, as I see what I want to see and stop. I never know why a long video is such a problem for some people. Stop watching it and come back later, or whatever. Good name.. Enjoy to open road.

Beautiful bus home. Kind spirited couple. 😇 💞

It would be cool if the captains' chairs had an old fashioned pull over desktop.

Love your color scheme. Excellent use of space.

Thank you both for sharing your home. God bless you both and safe travels.

Your bus is gorgeous she is perfect she looks she runs great great bus lol

Alot of work, y'all did a great job really quick, looks comfy warm and honey hope you guys have a wonderful experience thanks for sharing

Beautiful home. Nice and airy with attractive colours.👍

My daughter worked for the same cruise line

"If you build your home, you'll know how to fix it." ❤ You've made a beautiful home for yourselves, but more importantly you're living the life that YOU want and works best for you. 👏👏👏 Question: Does owning a Skoolie require you to get a different driver's license or is a Class C acceptable?

I bet a good sized DC chest fridge/freezer combo would work much better for your power consumption. I have seen a lot of great applications where they put them on big drawers with slides so they get tucked into the cabinetry when not in use. Dometic is one brand that comes to mind but check out channels like CheapRVLiving where they review a lot of the different models pros/cons. Maybe it would free up enough amp hours to use some wall panel heaters or something so propane heater isn't necessary. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it.

You all make a great couple, which, I'm sure, adds to your success. Your adaptability is to be admired....kind of like roll with the punches to start with and then creep in continuous improvement. Thanks for sharing. Many of the little bits and pieces added to my ongoing notes for a build I hope to do someday.

Hey- I saw you all in Kansa this week. You were going north on I-35 while I was going south. You passed by in a blur, caught my eye because of this video and as soon as I saw the back of the bus with the two windows, I knew it was you. So cool. I felt like I had seen a celebrity. Lol happy, safe travels.

You need new tires; good tires are extremely important. It's good that you kept the original door opener. I love it that you have solar power.

first i gotta say right off, i really like Poco! i love the really bright and festive colors. im really into the whole mexican culture thing here lately and the bright fiesta colors the mexicans use. 2. i also really like the white interior and all the windows, it looks really clean and neat and all the windows give an open airy look that i just love

Magnets can be your friend for curtains in busses.

I know you're building out as you go to adapt to your needs. But when you showed your bathroom /closet area I felt for you sitting with that curtain on your legs just to pee and there is no space to change quickly. I loved the shower curtain idea you used and thought about it and wanted to pass an idea on. You could take 2 small curtain rods or chains cut to the exact size of your closet end to end and instead of the one curtain you could hang a curtain on each rod or chain and whenever you need to use the bathroom or change clothes/ get dressed in the mornings you could unhook opposite sides of each curtain rod or chain and move them parallel to create a little room that is easily accessible and can be put back to look like your current area. All you need is another curtain and either 2 small chains or 2 small curtain rods and 2 screw-in eye hooks 🪝 that would be installed in the ceiling opposite from your closet/bathroom area. This would also give you some extra privacy if you want to close the front of the home off from the rear bedroom as you said you do when running the heater. I hope my comment did not confuse you lol 😆 I also wanted to say that I love the build and color scheme of the interior as well as the exterior!

Beautiful.

Lv.what you have done Enjoy your traveling

Nice bus

Beautiful people and a really good job on the bus would love to know how the bus holds out in the winter . I am planning on doing something like this on my own and I am petrified of doing the electrics LOL .

Awesome progress. There are burners and convection ovens. Can't wait until u get your shower. Love it.

Your home is gorgeous.

I really like your Little House On the Hwy. It looks like a home. You should do well. You seem to work well together, share goals, and like as well as love each other. You mentioned that you are not done painting the 🏡, It looks beautiful as it is. My suggestion would be to get some paint the color of the primer, and use that to paint the parts that are still in primer, It would just be shinier and look more finished. The woody look would be nice too. Have fun with it. Now that you have your degree 📜, and the basics of your home are there, you can take your time and let your home’s personality blossom. Don’t forget that every home needs spirituality in it and as others have helped you, you will find many opportunities to help others. In so doing, you will also find joy.

Love the homey vibe of your home! Many tiny home tours look like they’ve never been lived in!

Oh and I forgot to add you did a really nice job on your bus conversion it's beautiful!

Cute home and I love your colour scheme!

Like y’all , like your bus. 👍🏻😉

I just love this bus home its fantastic!

Love you guys and can’t wait to see you again.

Nice bus, enjoy life on the road. I'm jealous, I'd love to be able to do what you and your husband are doing.

You said perhaps remove the desk and put in a couch. You could cut the legs off the desk and hinge it to fold down to be the back of the couch. Just needs pillows or a long cushion for comfort. The legs could be reattached as hinged to fold out or you can rig it some other way to stay up when you need it to be a desk. Then you could have both a couch as well as counter space as needed. Does this make sense?

Cute bus, truly. But just soooooo long. I never figured out why so many people need to show us not only their build, but everything they have in every drawer lol. Happy travels to you both though; you're ahead of me! I don't have running water or solar lol. :)

Thanks for sharing your video of your Skoolie, one of the questions that I’ve been trying to get answered is, Do you have to have CDL’s for a school bus conversion. And finally someone answered my question. Thanks so much, I will never be able to pass a physical to get my CDL’s. So I can stop dreaming about converting a old school bus. But, I can drive an R/V, because it’s considered residential. Or, at least it is in my state. Thanks again for the information. Loved the work y’all did on your bus.

Thank you enjoyed your video.

Love your place

Male or female or gender X, this bus still needs a lot of work to make it a great full time living arrangement. It's a good start. Suggestion, check out "Amish" fridge. It runs on LP and/or 12 V. LP at night and 12 V when the sun is bright. They also have a LP/12 V/120 V model.

Nice bus! Little conflicted with Habitat tile, reusing is fine.. the other side of the coin is that you only have 3 ft2 so put the nice stuff on it. We set ours in silicone. The new rv frig is 12v and draws 3 amps 💞 also an induction burner is so much safer than having little propane bombs floating around. Good luck!

I really like your organized style and how you incorporated mementos into your adventure. Happy travels!

I bet everyone wishes they could find a great deal on a school bus like this! Just curious, how do you guys handle showers and laundry, especially laundry? That's one thing people rarely talk about.

With all that natural sunlight you need lots of sunscreen. If you have a electric pressure cooker you do not have to run your oven. If you have a wonderwash you can do your laundry with no electricity, just hand-crank for 3 mins. Sealed shellac cork flooring is good for cold floors and insulating and soundproofing and durable and lightweight. Boat and Yacht fixtures and fittings might work for a vehicle. The counter could be kitted out for storage cabinets space with doors for food or clothing. With a foldable portable flexible solar panel hooked up with a portable powerhouse, you can have an electric coffee maker and charge electronics.

You guys did a beautiful job on your bus. I could live in that. Love it. Stay safe. And happy.

I love your RV. Someday I want to live like you guys in an RV.

Nice video! I like the light colors. I would definitely had the captain chairs up front drivers area. I agree get rid of the work table and put a couch that slides out to bed and have storage underneath. I can't believe you don't have a regular cooking stove and refrigerator since you are living in it not camping.

Very nice! Very spacious. I added it to my Favorite Van Build list! :)

Once you get a permanent stove it will be so much easier if you decide to stay in the bus!

Nice!

At first the gender neutral statement made me roll my eyes but by the end of this video I really liked this couple. I can see that Liz has a good sense of humor/personality, (so does her spouse i forgot his name while typing this lol) I liked how their bus wasn’t top to bottom perfectly organized like some of the other buses seem to showcase. I liked this video a lot, I’ve been finding and following a bunch of people from these bus tours, I love these ideas and this channel for showcasing them. 🖤thanks for sharing this content with us!

Suggestion what about a storage on back outside of the bus for your bikes. And tanks etc. Blessings

Things I REALLY LIKE about what you've done, so far (there's lots, so I'll only list six bunches: #1) Overall Color Scheme - LOVE IT! #2) Vinyl flooring - Perfect choice! #3) The things you've brought from your house, family, & friends are beautifully integrated into all the other things in the schoolie. #4) Solar Panels - BIG YAY! #5) Kitchen/Seating/Dining/Office Area - Beautiful, counter tops & fixtures very attractive, solid quality materials, love the furnishings - the seats especially, design & arrangement very pleasing & efficient. Really REALLY pleased you got some things from Habitat For Humanity! #6) Overall look of interior is bright & airy, neat, spacious, efficient. Love love love all the windows & light and everything you did with the window treatments. Like the stick-on lights for "as-needed" light. Good use of fabrics, textures, structural materials, and art (including your mom's delightful bird house) give a wonderful "home" vibe w/o feeling/looking cluttered. I loved the various colorful coverings on your bed. DON'T LIKE: #1) Pooping in the kitchen That's all.* *I know you guys are in transition, you're doing things every day, reality is what it is, and I totally understand AND honor that you needed to JUST GET OUT THERE! Fortunately, Richard is very good with creative carpentry and making the most of the space available. You guys are going to be fine! 😍🤴🎅🏻 (P.S: I love the little Window Frames on the back exterior! They add such a fun & homey whimsy to the bus's exterior - very friendly feel to them.)

Awesome!!!👠🚌👠

Thanks for the info!🙃

you bought this from my hometown, so wild!!! i was like WOW

Loved your video!!! I live in Appalachian foothills in BRISTOL VIRGINIA/Tenn...Wish I'd known about the NOMAD life years ago when I was in better health !! Oh well. Enjoy your life on the road...Bet I do it in my next life !!!!😘 Every time I get in my Chevy Venture van I want to KEEP DRIVING. lol !!!!

Nice rig. 👍

Super sweet and inspiring

i SAW THAT OTHER BUS BY YOU THE TAN ONE. I HOPE YOU TOURED IT...BIG BUS WITH THE REAR END ADD ON. THEY ARE SURE NICE PEOPLE.

Kennesaw exit 329 its close to Cartersville Georgia. Have you ever eaten at the restaurant called Sweet tomato? They make everything good to eat. They make pumpkin soup. That's the best restaurant in GA. Yes I live in Georgia-- Dalton Georgia.

So, you are not done with the bus? I notice that some things are not finished. Also, if you're going to be in cold weather, I would recommend insulating the ceiling since the metal is just a few mill's thick. And lookup off-gassing of the batteries. It can be lethal. Most bus owners have the batteries in outside storage. Compartment. You can enclose the box so there are no gaps. Install a small computer fan on the back of the box so it is blowing to the outside via a vent like the ones used as soffit vents are good enough, but I personally would use a dryer vent and cover the pipe section with screening so rodents can't get int thru the vent. Just my two cents.

"Throw them by the side of the road?" Now I know who the assholes are that do that. Im always picking up crap like seats, consoles and van/RV parts after those morons. Nice job on the build. Rv's major issue is often water damage vs your bus roof which is pretty bullet proof. You'd also survive a tree branch in a storm far better than an RV. Provide plenty of ventilation for your camp stove. I'd avoid starting fluid, if you have a generator let the block heater run for a few hours. If you must use starting fluid you can spray it on a rag and let it suck from the rag. This gives it a more blended stream of vapor/air which helps avoid a strong shot all at one time. I've also used wd40 in a pinch as it's less violent on pistons and rings vs SF. Solar is the only way to go especially when you have so much roof area and capacity to carry batteries. Enjoy your travels.

Very nice build. I would really need a shower though.
