Chris and Dena built the Sundance Bus ( / sundancebus ) so that they could travel the country with their two children in a home on wheels with their matching Jeep in tow. And I have got to say WOW their bus is STUNNING! It's actually full of secret features too that make it extra special like a roof cap extension, an emergency hatch on a powered actuator, a hidden TV in the bedroom and completely hidden appliances. Deena had many aesthetic ideas for her build that Chris absolutely knocked out of the park and I think their bus is an exceptional example of a collaborative project between two talented individuals. Please show them support on their Instagram ( / sundancebus ) and check out Deena's website here! westerlyusa.shop/

Super nice bus and even nicer folks! Was great to see this at the fair, and Chris was such a gracious and informative host as I and everyone toured and asked a million questions. I specially loved the sink cover/table top, and hope to use that idea in a future build!

Seriously one of the nicest buses I've seen and I've seen hundreds. Love the sink cover idea doubling as your table. Once of the few buses with a stove that has a countertop level cover that I've seen. Love the slide-away oven door cover too. The kids loft is great. I think that space is too small for adults, at least it would be for me, but perfect for kids. Almost like a tree house. The porthole in the shower is on my list when I build. I want to give my bus a nautical theme but couldn't decide where to put the porthole. Bathroom seems best. Very nicely done.

The title of this video did not disappoint! That really is a beautiful build. Very bright, amazing colors and just plain comfortable. So many, if not most, factory RVs these days are so danged dark inside and cramped space. A couple of months ago, we looked at some RVs around this size, and frankly, I just got annoyed at how crappy they are. Especially the dark and cramped thing. It sure seems like the DIY builds are just better, in many ways. For one, you build it to YOUR specs and needs. Not to someone else's! Also, the man is right about the TV! LOL It's a must! I couldn't do this without a few TVs around the build and even a TV outside. LOL I'd also have, like we did before, a folding tower with a UHF/VHF deep fringe TV antenna on it. Especially these days, unless you are out where there's is no reception, there should be some channels that one can pick up.

I hope the wife knows just how lucky she is, that the husband took her 'suggestions' and did them, the only worry i have is the kids getting to school age they really should be making friends at 6 and 7 but i don't think they're that old yet, I don't think home school works as flawed as public school is it does teach important social skills.

@PoeticJustice05 8 ай бұрын

Homeschool does work. Don't worry about them. They'll be fine because their parents are together and they have a healthy family. Plus, they will be very worldly.

@PenisMcWhirtar 7 ай бұрын

This is a very important question and no easy answer. Home schooling in the early years, if done right, will give the kids a head start academically. However, I've seen a lot of home-schooled kids have real difficulty coming into the regular system (if they need to do that). So even though I hate regular schools, I personally would advise this couple to find somewhere nice to settle for the next 12 years and send their kids to school, then send them to a boarding school at 16 (which most 16 year olds love) and resume their travels.

hi dwellings it's a nice bus you've made 🙂 Have a question though. Have thought about this a lot, are there no regulations in the US at all about seat belts and seat belts for everyone in the RV? Think especially when there are children involved. If they are not fastened while driving and an accident occurs, there is a significantly greater risk of serious injury, perhaps even resulting in death. Know in Europe where I live it is ILLEGAL not to wear a seat belt !!

@SundanceBus 8 ай бұрын

Heya! That’s a great question! We have 5 different sets of seatbelts and two car seats 💺 for the kiddos. Some states require seatbelts in the US and some don’t. We prefer to have everybody strapped in but have made a few exceptions…

@sepudo1950 7 ай бұрын

Also, keep in mind that school buses that actually carry kids don't have seat belts (at least in my state of CA) . there's plenty of info online which explains why this may actually be safer on large heavy school buses.
