You two should start your own business, offering your services in helping others remodel their buses! My guess is that you’d have more business than you could handle! Your place is a work of art!!! As far as your spices, it’s also very artistic, but I had no idea there was that many spices out there!!! I’d have no clue what to do with them!!!😂

Out of all the Skoolies I've seen, this one takes the cake. Tons of storage. Separate offices with plenty of workspace. And the kitchen is amazing as well. You two did a great job. I see so many bus tours were someone opens the fridge or a cabinet and they say how spacious it is and I think "that's so little space". Your build is one where I feel you have plenty of space.

This is the BEST bus conversion I have seen. Love the spacious kitchen design, but the bathroom, holy smokes! I am glad that this video featured a guy that's very tall - 6'4", and I'm 6'2" myself. If I ever bit the bullet and jumped into bus conversion for camping and traveling, I will definitely be using this bus conversion video as my template.

I've seen a LOT of bus conversions over the years... Had a couple, just beginning one right now actually... Skoolies were never one of my personal choices. I've always preferred a coach for the storage bays. That said... This is one of the best I've seen for its simplicity and utility. Bravo guys! Very well done. Lake of the Woods, Minnesota here. :) Happy Trails!

You've done a beautiful job with this home. It looks so light and spacious. I loved the spice rack and the rack with quart jars and oils. My guess would be 85 spice jars. Not counting the rack with oils, etc. I also love the area you've dedicated to your fresh herbs. Considering how, as every bus driver knows, sun always seems to be in one's face when you drive a bus, it's the perfect spot. Kudos for creating a great home.

You two are a lovely couple and you compliment one another, in many ways, beautifully. What a lovely home you have created in the early years of your life. You get to work, remotely, have your own work spaces and yet, be together. Ideal for a good marriage. The couple that works together, stays together. I know this, personally, I am in my 56th year of marriage and, life has been good. I love that one of your parents has decided to do the road lifestyle, part time and, hang out close by. Remember, what brought you together, always and, your marriage will last a very long time. God Bless you, both and your, beloved, cat. This bus is impressive! Happy travels. Successful work life. Happy marriage. Heather Ontario 🇨🇦

Wow, love the kitchen, and how much storage it alone has. FYI, if you really love spices, light will cause many to deteriorate much faster, that and having so many, some don't keep well, and can't imagine using even half of them before they go dull. I have thought about this lifestyle, but was unsure if I could stock my kitchen the way I like. Now I think it is possible, I could see this kitchen downsized a bit into a short bus, which I have experience driving.

This is by far the best schooli build ever. It's esthetically pleasing, it flows nicely, Keeping colors light makes it feel bright and inviting. The use of space is exceptional. The full shower bath is an engineering coup. It feels like a home. The kind of people I would love to know in the tiny home community. I'm on my 3rd year of living in my THOW full time. These guys could teach my builder, certified and well known, a few things, especially about dreaded moisture. Do you have an air exchanger? 👍
