VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
This is the largest space Eric and Jay have lived in since 2018. After quitting their corporate jobs, they first traveled the nation in a 4runner with a tent for overnight accommodations, then left for Senegal, where they abided in a mud yurt. Upon return to the states, they still desired travel and wanted to keep the simplicity of their recent lifestyle as a foundation, thus the bus life. They've now been living full-time in their DIY skoolie stocked with a full wet bath, quaint bedroom, ample kitchen, and a welcoming living area. These two travel with their pup and love the mobility that comes with the comfort of a home.

I am so in love with the tiny home thing, especially on wheels. But I am pretty old, 80, and own my home on the Oregon coast so not willing to give that up. Have camped for short stays in my car, which has the back seats out and a bed and all accessories. Your home is sweet!

@PeaceJourney... 2 жыл бұрын

Eighty is not so old, my mom just turned eighty and drives a mustang. I am looking forward to having a bit of land to plant trees, garden and build a house in ten years. But for now, I bought a bus. And my first power tools. It's not going to be as new and pretty as the bus in the video, I am reusing and upcycling. Now if I could just figure out how to get the garden, 4 trees, six cats, 2 dogs, our library, cooking, baking, canning, crafts, music, movies, games, art, bathtub, water and food in it with some standing room...😂

@netters22video 2 жыл бұрын

We do not had a black water tank, only Grey. Plus having a flush toilet would consume a lot more water making it more difficult to be off grid for long periods of time.

I love this skoolie: the L-shaped kitchen and the bathroom. The only thing: are those curtains thick enough for privacy? They look kind of sheer.

@janwoodward7360 2 жыл бұрын

They look to be kitchen towel thickness. Probably look thinner because of backlighting…they should be fine. If they go somewhere cold, they’ll need to add another layer of curtain or blind.

@netters22video 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for asking. These curtains definitely do not block light, but we love having the natural light come in. The rare times we sleep in a parking lot, the lights are annoying. For privacy tho, the curtains work great. With all the bus lights on at night you can just barely see a silhouette from the outside. We double layered the curtains i the bathroom & bedroom for additional privacy. These curtains only minimally thermally insulate. Which has been fine for us but can be an issue if you’ll be in very hot/cold places. We love the bus windows but with this many single pane windows, it’s hard to temperate control.

@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 2 жыл бұрын

@@netters22video Agree. I didn't like the windows when it was a bus, lol. Single pane is a no-go for me, and no A/C. I live somewhere it can be 106 (rare) and -20 (also pretty unusual). Plus, w climate change, I'd like to be ready.
