Over the last 6 1/2 months I've been working on converting a school bus into a tiny home on wheels (or and RV). It's still not completed, but I've been dying to sleep in it. So I figured why not spend the first night in the skoolie during a northeast snow storm. The temperatures were freezing, and I was freezing, but in the end it was so worth it to wake up to nearly a foot of snow! This is overnight camping in my unfinished school bus tiny home RV during a northeast blizzard. Thanks for watching!

It's good that you did this because it emphasizes how important it is for you to make good insulated window coverings for your bus.

Dude keeping warm is 90% of the fun of watching this type of show, and also having a good meal with it, may I suggest a new approach to this like soda can candle warmers and under bus skirt to block the wind, or outside fires with an awning by the bus side. Have fun you get my subscription.

Hope you had a great Christmas. I’m putting in a wood-burning stove for heat. I have a decided yet on which one. It’s between the the grizzly or the dwarf 4. That seems like so much fun sleeping out there. I just realize that you are in Pennsylvania. My bus is in Pennsylvania. I work on it in the summer when I go to my cousins house. He lives in Indiana, Pennsylvania. I just talk to him it’s December 26 and he says it snowing again. He doesn’t ever remember getting snow like this. I’ll be retiring this year so I’ll be finishing mine this summer. That’s why I love watching yours it’s keeping me motivated plus I can get some more ideas.

I have watched your videos since maybe the first or second month of the build. Early on I started liking all the videos after I watched them so I knew what I had already watched. This showed up on my home page today so I clicked on it to watch and I was two minutes in to the video before I realized you posted the video more than a year ago. I don't think I watched this when it first posted but it seems appropriate since we just had a mini snow storm.

I used the exact same heater in mine to work on it and it didn't do a whole lot. Something with a fan to circulate the heat works loads better. A lot of people like a Mr. Buddy which is a propane heater that you can use indoors. Goodluck with keeping warm and absolutely love your Christmas decorations!! Can't wait for my first night in my bus!

Hey nice one Matt. Well done on the first night, only get better from here on. Once you have those windows covered it will be easier. I would leave the radiator on low in the bus all the time to keep the worst of the chill down. Once the fabric of the bus warms, you will be amazed how warm it can be.
