However in seeing how fantastic the seating area is at the front where they have minivan seats, it makes perfect sense. In ALL other vans, the parents themselves put in seatbelts for the children on the couches, which is HOPEFULLY perfectly secure.

This is the best build I have ever seen. The layout is perfect. I like the fact that you don’t make your children sleep on the couch while you have a bedroom. I like your “bedroom” though. It is private when you need it to be. I never understood why people couldn’t build a bus or whatever RV, with enough electrical power. This is the first one I have seen where you can run an AC unit while having other appliances going. It is worth the money to me, to have power when I need it. The kitchen is perfect. I agree with an other comment that most kitchens are to big for the space. You make it work. That is all it matters. This is the best bus, by far, that have seen. Safe travels.

@broccolibus6913 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you. We could have more space to play with if we opted out of having proper seating upfront. Safety measures such as appliances that are bolted down or metal framed walls to catch anything that could fly in an accident kinda sculpted our layout. We built our bus electrical to meet our needs from the cloudy Seattle area and also the heat of the south with ac needs.

I can see both view points and totally respect where you are coming from. The bunks are large twin size and they can fully sit up in them but that didn't translate well on the video. The wall section that the black back table folds out from blocks the views of each other when they are tucked in bed. Even when we had a large house with enough rooms they wanted to share bedrooms. We eventually plan on finding some land to buy when we figure out what state we like in the future. We are enjoying this time for now being able to travel and see things. The ever changing outdoors offer a lot of space when they need a break. They sit and enjoy the sun while painting or reading. Currently we are parked on a 250 acre farm in Oregon and they are playing in a little creek and planting gardens. Last Friday they were around our other bus friends in AZ with kids playing and having campfires. Life is more about adventures than living in a box. For now this works. We are hunkered down quaratining.

The way he has made it all about safety first with every bit of wiring covered so that they're not hanging loose in the undercarriage of the bus.

I get more and more excited when I see videos like this. The Pandemic has opened my eyes more to what is REALLY IMPORTANT. It is just my husband and I and we have family and friends spread out across the US. I really feel like this is a move to consider. Thank you so much for showing the details of what you created for yourself and your family.

After I saw you helping implement a solar system in another build, I couldn't help but wonder just how rad your personal setup was. Wonder no more. That's probably the cleanest and most well thought out system I've seen, and that's coming from an I&C engineer. I'm taking notes. Many, many notes. Can't wait to see it in person one day!

Buddy up in flagstaff az built his warehouse workshop. He does woodwork and guitars he sells down in mesa and area open air markets. He used to be an engineer at boeing out in CA before he was laid off back in original recession. His bus is very well engineered and executed like yours! He parks in a covered side overhang adjacent to his workshop. His workshop itself has solar too. Hookups for his bus, and a hottub right behind the bus along with an outdoor kitchen. He was intending to see all of america from newyears to end of summer, but I guess now thats moot. I think the air gap between his buses outdoor roof and the top covered parking, help keep his bus cool. Anyways, hope you guys stay safe and hunker down!

@brendaswann7292 4 жыл бұрын

You must be so proud. All the thought and planning, I can only imagine. I must say when it came to the ‘mechanicals’, I was absolutely in awe. Building out a much smaller bus, I would love to know how to use a small percentage of the equipment . So over my head. Beautiful. Live well, stay well, and of course travel big and safe. 🇨🇦👏🏽🚌🙏🏼🇨🇦
