Some of the most important info I've heard about a bus build starts at 14;25. This is now my favorite, most informative video about bus builds.

Welcome to the full time traveling lifestyle. You have a really nice home.

Not only is this the best conversion I've ever seen, but it's the best video on the subject. Usually I'm on to the next video about halfway through the tour . Yours held my interest til the end. Good job guys. How do you handle your pups need for exercise?

U two rock! Both of you was very smart in the way you both when't about doing this project from pick, the build to complete. Retired RV tech. and bus owner as well. Enjoy life from a old man.

This is like the 10th time I have watched this vid. Thank you so much for giving so many useful details and kudos to you guys for such an amazing build out!

I really enjoy that your tours are inclusive of follow-up questions such as, "What would you do differently if you had to built this all over again?" I also enjoy the style: the expansive intro that slowly narrows in on the subject and that the tour is told through the voices of the people who live in these unique spaces. Thank you for your videos.

Nice setup! Gotta say this, IKEA seems to be the "Go-To" place for outfitting these bus-2-campers. Surprised they haven't contacted folks for advertising decals on the sides! Gotta love that "step up" for the toilet. Gives that "natural" position to make sure them torpedos shoot out at maximum pressure when ya fiber diet went out the window in lieu of Pizza!

A man after my heart, "There is no excuse for people of our generation to not know how to do something." Spoke in the true spirit of the American pioneer. Proud to know you. If you ever get to Northwest Arizona, the coffee is hot. If it is not hot, I will make a fresh pot.

I remember seeing this when it was first posted. This couple is the most pleasant I’ve watched and answered so many questions I’ve had about building out a bus. Still one of my faves. I’d really like to see an updated video from them to see what, if anything, they’ve changed and just how they still like bus life

You're videos are a great example of what can be accomplished with common sense and care. Thank you for posting them.

Great bus, love the amount of solar power you have, more is definitely better when it comes to solar. I too prefer the school bus conversions, they have such sturdy manufacturing and underbelly storage. There's plenty of room for a bathroom, a big bed (my husband is over 6'), and lots of storage. I like that you've kept the second door, so many close them up, I prefer to have an emergency exit I can walk through, I'm clumsy enough to break something if I have to climb out a window! Your home is very welcoming and comfortable. Have a wonderful trip around the US.

Awesome! Well done. All the hard work paid off and you now have a mobile home that you can truly enjoy!! 🙂👍

Yep I just did it I got a bus oh god I must be nuts a girl doing a double decker all by myself wahahaha 😭

Awesome bus conversion and great information thanks for sharing and safe travels 👍😎🚌♥️🎶🎥🎬🌲🏔🏖🛶

This is probably the most helpful and informative tiny lifestyle video I've seen!! Saved to my favorites playlist. Thanks so much for sharing!! Happy and safe travels to the both of you!

You two did a wonderful job; your home is lovely and inviting. I’ll revisit this video when I design my skoolie.

You guys are pretty amazing. More people your age should take on projects like this. Keep up the good work.

My favorite video!!! Beautiful skoolie, great people, obviously hard working, and giving lessons as well!!!

Your bus is amazing. I love the woodwork. It's beautiful ❤️

Super intelligent video and awesome build. I was really impressed with both of your deliveries.

I think ya’ll are the cutest! Congratulations on achieving your dreams and schooling!

thank you so much for all the time and effort to make this video! I really appreciate the fact you told us how much it cost and where the funds are coming from to afford this life style

Awesome. I love your bus, your attitudes, passion and knowledge for the bus life. Great job on it and thanks for sharing. And for being apparently great peeps.

I am so proud of you two. I suggest you reach out to any organization or radio show to talk about how you do what you do and how you came to thinking way you do. I speak to many young people as I meet and great in the market, the Y or where ever I come into contact and sharing success stories of my self and others is of so much great value. Too many older people my age and older spend too much time complaining about the youth today and I reject them and correct them by always stating just how proud I am of younger people today. Be as creative as you can as much as you can and never think that you can't do the thing, whatever the thing is. All of you younger people are the future so grab all the ideas you can and take action. Believe in yourself and know that you are the only one you must please. Do what gives you joy and do not make the mistakes of many older people made settling for what society said you must do to be a success. True success is having joy in your life and the best way to get that is by doing the things that make you the happiest. Do not get a job or get into a career because someone else convinced you that is is a good choice. If you do that, then you join the many older people you are not at all happy because they are doing something in life just to get a paycheck but hate every moment doing it. Peace and joy to you all.

The journey is your destination...love that ...y'all did a great job!

I've watched so many RV videos.... these 2 were amazing .... like Professional TV hosts .... awesome .... I like all the nice alliances

great bus beautiful the way it fits your lifestyle built for both of you very well. Congratulations-

...impressive build- another couple making their dream happen!

Good on you two. As a retired registered nurse my suggestion is get a job on a Med-Surg unit. A year or two on a unit like that will get you a job ANYWHERE.

Best video yet! Awesome build and excellent interview/presentation.

Informative as far as the solar, the foam insulation, etc...nice bus. TY. Blessings.

Excellent build your home is excellent many blessings to you both and your family happy adventures

This is simply informative. Thank you for the details and making them easy to understand.

Thank you for this video. You provided some great info. Enjoy your rig and adventures.

I loved the tour, got several good ideas from your build. Loved the little button screw plates to attach the trim.

People have paid $100,000 for a motorhome and had the engine blow up on the first trip out. I've been lucky with mine and I've never had a major problem. Water pump and master cylinder is all and I've been living in my 1988 36ft Gulf Stream, Sun Stream Hi Rise for about 25 years now. I've made many upgrades and renovations but I love my coach as much now as the day I brought it home. The only thing about a Schoolie is that it will always ride, handle and drive like a school bus. An motorhome is built to ride much nicer. But you have a great bus! Enjoy your adventures! Make gusto the basis of your life and your never going to be disappointed!

I love skoolies!

you used some very good ideas; love the door sliders fr the bathroom door. I am so glad you use biodegradable products and are earth friendly about everything.

Super nice well thought out build! On the mechanical side of things I would suggest finding the largest transmission cooler you can and install it along with looking at larger radiator options. The best set up would be to use a transmission cooler and radiator from a semi truck that s built for abuse.

Everything looks amazing you two, really does...I think this is y favorite for a few reasons, main is the clothing space!! Lol Awesome!

Nice home, happy travels for both of you. May God bless you always....

Fantastic video, Best I think I've watched so far. Bus is Awesome ! Great Job!

Wow awesome build! I'm looking into buying and building it with my son & my self with the help of whoever is willing to help us lol and u guys make me feel super encouraged to do so! Thank u!

hey guys wonderful vid, just starting my build this spring up in ab can. 95 city transit new flyer, gutted and ready to go. I loved your meat and potatoes delivery of your facts and imput to others. keep up the good work and hope to one day be in the same neck of the woods once spring hits and i can start my build.

Your build tour is just loaded with great information!

Great video. Both of you did a excellent job. Stay safe

Love it love it. So agree, no excuse to learn. Blessings and love 💖

Wow! I am a Florida woman and working on the build in Florida summers is a gigantic feat in itself!

Thank you. Thank you so very much. I need every one of these videos that prove that, even if you don't know, you can learn and you can BUILD A HOME. -I'm a single mother that's been a SAHM for much of that "career" 💗 and I and my children have a story that all too many single parents (lots of moms, some fathers, too) "share", but maybe don't share aloud. Within that many of us don't know what we're made of. I'm testing that out along with my girls with the bus that, as of 3 weeks ago, sits next to our rental home awaiting a massive facelift. (I've got 4 ceiling panels down! Finally! 🙌🏽😅) I thrive on these videos and I have begun to experience the OUTSTANDING nomadic community already and... It's absolutely everything. No one ever got anywhere without another person and though I knew no one, hired no one prior to this decision, I now have 1,000 skoolie tour and build out tutorial videos at my fingertips as well as 50 people on average, on any given day that are more than willing to lend advice and SUPPORT. I have even met a couple ppl local to me that have lent, or are willing to lend, a hand in one way or another. I'm not alone for maybe the first time in my adult life and more people than I've ever communed with at any other point in my life say that I can do this, with 100% surety. Thank you for contributing to that. My daughters are depending on this and I couldn't do it without videos and people like this. Oh... And we hope to show others with a similar story that, when you think there's no way out, there is a viable, beautiful door that can open for you if you just reach for that handle. 🤞🏽 We really hope to support that community with all our efforts very soon. -Love and blessings to the two of you. Thank you for your upcoming service as a nurse and for the both of you being the forces for good that you are. 🌸

One of my pet peeves is when people make comments on what you spend on items. It's your money and you have to feel comfortable with what you're buying. Great video! I enjoyed watching it.

Awesome build and very cost effective ideas...taking notes here. Welcome to Nursing man, best decision I have ever made for sure. Congrats..

Great video and lots of great ideas. Thank you for sharing

Very nice rig! Those counter tops look familiar Chris. Great job.

I love your home, that where me and hubby want to be, we working on our save to go west or Florida to get our bus.

Hi guys Great work.. all the best in your life .. awesome . Love the solar for energy . I dig the fire ... who dosnt like real fire . Sweet 😎

omg! finally someone mentioned washer dryer in a scoolie watched over 100 video thank you!!!

Amazing Great Tiny House. Very practical. One of the best I have seen.

You both shared so much good information and answer so many questions I had. Your bus is really nice and I like the bathroom door. I didn't understand the information you gave on the gas behide the refrigerator. Could you talk more about that please.

Great job! Good luck & have FUN!

Great tour. Lots of good ideas!

Thanks for the advice and knowledge guys!

Cool life style, great build, you'll be a traveling nurse...God Bless You...

I wanna be you when & if I ever grow up. I’ve tried for 57 years now and it hasn’t caught on well. Anyway I HAVE to go Skoolie... you both could start your own movement and company helping set up skoolies. I’ll pay.

Awesome Guys!!! Fantastic Video.

great video, so informative and well thought out

thanks 4 infor. i will share with my husband.

Great video 👍there is a lot of inspiration for my bus conversion. For me, your KZfaq Videos is really helpful, as I‘m converting an US Schoolbus in Germany 🇩🇪and there are no other busses available for looking into details. Thank you and best wishes from Germany Wolfgang

Wow what a nice job..

Beautiful home thanks for sharing 😀

Great interview

So much great information. Thanks 😊👍

I love their build - I wonder if a transmission cooler would help. Good tour video.

"... 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘺, 𝘴𝘰 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵". Yes, sir! 👍🏼 We're also planning to convert a bus and this will be our motto. I see many van- and bus builds here on KZfaq and some don't even have a shower or a toilet! 😱 Don't get me wrong, if those people are alright with it, then I will not argue the point, but it's not for me. Full bathroom, 4 flame cooker/oven and a washing machine/dryer are a must for us. Also a full sized fridge/freezer (not to forget that my wife needs a rocking chair! 😁). I'm all for minimalising, but your way is the way we're going to go too. I also totally dig the rustic style of your bus, the colour scheme inside and outside, everything! It's a dream! 👍🏼😉 "𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨?" Another great motto! I was planning to get water and gas done by a professional. I'm pretty good at wood work and a learned electrician, so that part won't be a problem), but you're so right. We live in the age of information. Why not learn to do it yourself? Thx guys! You've been a real inspiration and I wish you all the best and loads of fun on the road! 🙏🏼😌

WOW NICE SET UP!!!

Beautiful Art picture !

I love their attitude and they make a great team. They definitely put a lot of thought into their build. It is interesting that they came at the insulation from the aspect of keeping the bus cool rather than warm. However, from his description, I bet the bus is quite cozy in the cooler climates.

Awesome sense great information enjoy your home

Fantastic bus.

Travel nurse contacts and your own mobile home you guys are doing great

With the miles that you are running would suggest for your transmission to get deep sump oil pan, spin on filter kit, trans temp gauge, and aux trans cooler, this stuff is available through Allison, and most heavy truck manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers. Would also reccomend a retarder, probably a driveline electric style, on the 7.3 Navistar engine I would stay away from the exhaust style one, they develope head and valve issues. If you're in the mountains a lot may also suggest a 2 speed rear axle, if you have to replace or rebuild a 3rd member, it would be a good time to look into one. A good driveline shop would be able to install it, and reccomend gear ratios to fit your needs.

Very comfortable self built schoolie 😃

Fantastic job!

Love it you have done a fantastic job ❤️💕🌺😎🌹

Cool rig and story guys!

Very nice bus 🚌.

You guys are amazing. I hope all of your generation has the same attitude. If so, the future will be great.

Love your home.

When they're old and gray they'll be like remember those years living on the bus. 👴👵

Very nice bus build 👍

Have you considered converting your engine to utilize vegetable oil for fuel in combination with a diesel tank?

GREAT TEAM! Excellent solar:)

Love your home beautiful are you planning any kids God bless your travels

Great video. Thanks for sharing

What area of nursing are you going to first begin building skills in? I'm sure you've done a lot of work on research. I've been a nurse for over 30 years but I never got around to travel nursing. You're going to have a great experience. If you start out in a VA facility you can transfer within the VA system from state to state.

Alot of things the woman was trying to show the camera did not view but other than that great vid and awesome job on your bus conversion.

Great job

I think they got a great deal on their bus! And I love their Skoolie! Me too I think it's nut's to buy a big azz truck to pull a tiny home that coasted 30 50 or even 100 grand!

Smart on the bus buy 👍🏻

Cool wood stove at 0:55 with grizzly cubic mini wood stove with hardy board with stones and 1 inch air gap! And some real talk begins at 11:22.
