VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
This self-converted shuttle bus took a year and a half to build before Johnny & his two dogs were able to call it home. Johnny has been on the road for a little over a year now & has thoroughly enjoyed the adventure, solitude, & community he has encountered thus far.
His one-of-a-kind conversion features a multifunctional couch/dinette combo, a homemade composting toilet, & an abundance of cleverly hidden storage throughout. Complete with warm wood finishes & copper hardware, it's easy to see what incredible craftsmanship & love was poured into the making of the Miles O' Smiles bus.

Both the bus and Johnny are really good-looking. Looking good on the inside, too, as in my opinion any 1 who definitely cares about their dogs comfort as much as Johnny has is a wonderful, caring person. I wish you happy and safe travels and life

The youngsters are so comfortable infront of the camera. What a classy, handsome, adventurous, animal caring guy. Beautiful inside and out. So many favorites on this vid, I’m saving it to my planning playlist. Most couches look uncomfortable. Since I sit down about 1-2 hours a day, I need a comfy perch! New sub.

This is the third time I've watched this video. Once a month ago and the last 2 times today. Remarkable Disposition You're an example of what you can achieve with the right mindset! This home you have created is Beautifully built to Detail. The Solar set up, The Copper accents, The Savings on your Composting toilet, The Couch so perfect, some Couches I've seen on rigs look so narrow and uncomfortable, Your couch is Heavenly, like a cloud to sleep on! So much more I would like to comment on but I don't have space or time to write a Novel. Lol! Most importantly is the Nurturing Environment you created for your traveling, extended family. Yes those two that sleep under your Bed. I Love that so much!!! Their Bed is so Cozy and Comfortable I could crawl in and Sleep with them! Your Spirituality is Spot On! Please if you ever Decide to sell your Bus, I would Love the Opportunity to Buy it!! I definitely would pay extra for some Driving lessons! But I know with Faith we can accomplish anything, still need those Driving Lessons Lol! Bless You and your Traveling Family. Gratitude for Sharing!!

He works fulltime so he may not have the incentive to do a youtube channel for income since he has income. He made it clear he is athletic and loves to do athletic type hobbies, so I imagine he has no down time between work and hobbies for that.

Genuine. What a great word to describe yourself and how meeting people should be, and your build reflects that. Some very good info here, some of which I knew (e.g. epoxy grout) and some I didn't (i.e. the 500 lb. drawer slide out under the sofa/daybed as a drawer -- Great!). A genuinely good build and life you are living!

I love the build the copper is gorgeous, and I adore that slate tile. The kitchen is the perfect size. I love how you treat your dogs. Their "cave" is a great place for them to hang out. I'd probably leave the cushions stacked on the couch instead of moving them. It'd be a tall couch, but less work...

Awesome job! Didn't see your Fridge, or I missed it. I really love your build, you could make money helping people build out a Bus or RV. You've actually got enough room for a small oven or change out your cooktop to a small stove. So much space is amazing! Good luck on your journey and God Bless 🙏🏼 ❤️🫶

At the 45-second mark, you can see what looks like a Dometic fridge in a drawer located under the stove area. It's in one large pull-out drawer. It appears to be separated with fridge on left side and freezer on right. Dometic fridge looks like a cooler that opens from the top. That is why it's in a drawer.

Very nice build. Really like that it’s all electric. It’s been something I’ve thought about but also worried about no back up power. I’ve thought about towing a vehicle as well although I would prefer the tow dolly. When it came down to it though I just decided on an ebike (for now) because after all’s said and done I’m a bit intimidated by the idea of hauling! Sorry you ran into the rust problem. It’s not unusual for it in vehicles from the north due to salting the roads. Sounds like they never washed the underside! Really looks good though! Congratulations. Vaya con Dios!

I really like this bus. It's spacious and casual comfy with class. I could easily travel in it. Especially with the dogs. I didn't hear anything about a shower. For me that's a must, so maybe it wouldn't work. It's perfect for Johnny and his fur babies though. I'd give it a 9️⃣ out of 10.

I am married, yet to a great degree enjoy being alone. The wife chooses to continue working at a hospital, so I do a lot of traveling, up to 3 months at a time alone, however, you probably know that there is a huge nomad community out there that travels in groups or meet at destinations at times. There are plenty of women traveling too if you want mixed social life.
