VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Ron and Jess were binge-watching tiny home episodes when they looked around at their animals and each other, quickly realizing they didn’t need the spacious apartment they were living in. Once the decision was made, they dove into tiny home living by self-converting a transit bus for themselves and their fur babies.
These two life coaches work from the road and have a layout that suits the lifestyle. The bus has a design that allows privacy when needed, a welcoming kitchen, and a bedroom that holds a queen-sized bed. Functionality was a priority in this build and they achieved it with numerous space hacks!

I am proud to say these two kids belong to me. I watched them put so much hard work into this from the beginning. What a magnificent job. You two should be very proud of your accomplishment

They did a great job on the bus. I was also impressed by the young man's descriptions of what he did, as he seemed humble about it and he spoke clearly about it when given a chance to do so. Not every person does that or comes across that way in videos like this one. I hope you will pass that comment on to him.

Thank you for all of the wonderful comments! I’m seeing lots of bathroom “concerns” LOL we HAVE A BATHROOM AND 2 SHOWERS FOLKS! The shower is in a drawer underneath the toilet. You put up your curtain and BAM. Shower. It also doubles as an outdoor shower (which we prefer over indoor) I will make a more in depth tour eventually and you can hear our reasoning for these things. Can find us EVERYWHERE Unleashed Potential Life Coaching. As well as @VidaNovaBus. Thank you all! ✌️❤️🙏☀️🤙 Wanted to add that our precious baby Luna died RIGHT before filming this. We were NOT ourselves. I barely remember doing this. Was a very emotional time for us but this was a good distraction for us both. 🐶🐾

Hi Ronnie. I like your bus very much, and enjoyed your tour and how you both described your bus. :) But I have some curiosity questions about it, because I am considering whether this kind of vehicle would be best for me in the future. Here are some basic questions I hope you will answer if possible. 1. What kind of engine does your shuttle bus have? 2. After the build out, what is the fuel (gas) mileage on the highway? (I assume you travel at posted speed limit, but if different please say so) 3. You have a lot of solar and battery. Do you have a youtube video showing the solar panel installation on the roof? (a "build" type video or demo or discussion) 4. What is the ground clearance under the bus door, once the build was complete and bus is fully loaded. I ask this because I would want to drive on typical dirt roads (western desert areas). Most shuttle buses appear to have a low amount of clearance just below that large front door on passenger side (just behind the front right wheel). I have not measured any shuttles after builds, and wonder how many inches might be there after a typical build such as yours (with all of the nice stuff and water solar, etc.). If these questions are already answered in your own video, a link would suffice, but I often find these points are not covered in "tour" videos. Thanks.

I think the build is lovely, I love the colors and the decor.. The Only thing I would need is a actual small bathroom with shower just a wet bath would be fine for me. I get why you guys did the toilet they way you did. It takes up less space and you gain a sitting area. I'm guessing you use the sink faucet outside the window for outside showering, all good ideas if it works for you. Me being older just like my privacy but that's me. Nothing wrong with doing it your way either. It's all about building a bus to your needs and wants. That's the beauty of doing your own build you get to do it your way 🙂 Lovely bus build... Best wishes to you both

Not everyone uses a shower in their vehicle, and many people use a laundromat. I might do one, but just soft sided so it's not taking up space. Like a shower curtain on a ring. Something like a storage tub inside a seat that drains outside.

Toilet is right behind the drivers seat it's a diy composting toilet no walls it'd not like a small room with a toilet. It's looks like a seat you left up the cushion to us it. They can use the sink faucet to shower by turning the faucet around so it can hangs out the window then they can take a outside shower.

For me, it looks beautiful and I imagine it’s lovely to live in. However, a reason for me to live in a vehicle would be to explore the great outdoors and really get off the beaten track. Without a shower of some sorts, or unless my partner and I lost all sense of smell, this wouldn’t be possible. And I really don’t need to watch my girlfriend sit and poop every day. Nor would I want to be watched. And my poop can stink; at least if it’s in a little cupboard/room of its own, with an extractor fan, the rest of the home wouldn’t smell.
