Josh and Emily designed and built the ultimate school bus conversion with an epic kitchen, pantry, secret storage throughout, and a two large work-from-home stations. As engineers, they were able to design the space to not only be functional, but also extremely efficient. Oh, AND it's gorgeous! In this video they give us an exclusive tour!

What's your favorite part of this skoolie: the roof raise, the hidden storage, the kitchen pantry, or???

@KyleRuggles Жыл бұрын

Hidden storage, the office space! If they ever have any kids, there's room to expand with that back office! The lowered shower basin is sooo nice! Love the office space in the front too, that can double as sooo much kitchen counter space! Love the kitchen pantry and the control panel for the front panel of the bus. This is such an awesome design! They thought of everything! All it's missing like many people are saying, is a deck! lol. Love those awnings. I mean they are a great team, I can imagine there would be people out there wiling to wait 2 years to get a bus made by them, charge $500k! I'm sure there would be buyers out there. So far out of all the busses I've seen, this is the tops!

@ZeoCyberG Жыл бұрын

DIY, access to a proper workshop, having all the required skills, tools, etc. had a lot to do with that... Thing is that still cost them, just not in the same way as paying someone else to do it for them... People have to be careful to not confuse not paying someone else with it being lower cost when you're just trading different costs. Your sweat equity is not nothing, among other costs that people are really just dismissing like the cost of the tools, access to the workshop, the time they sacrificed to the project, etc.

@k9rescue165 Жыл бұрын

@ZeoCyberG 💯 Absolutely agree, I wouldn't have one without building it myself. That way if something happens out on the road, I know where and how everything was installed. My problem is lack of workspace to build it. I currently live in a city/neighborhood amd other than my driveway, have no way to do this. I could possible rent a building for a year and build it and may be what I have to do.🐾🐾
