Plz let this lady know how impressive she is! As a single mom, she's found a safe & secure, affordable, efficient, & comfortable means by which she can have many, many vacays & adventures w/her daughters! She's also teaching her daughters that not only can their mom do anything, but they can, too! It's just a great story!

I really don't like how exposed the toilet is. But I drive a 40 foot bus as my job. So getting a bus like this is appealing to me. I'd probably add on a garage to the entire back since I don't need those back windows at all. I do love the skylight built where the hatch was. And I love having the back handicapped door there especially since you have children. It's a good safety measure, it must really help with ventilation and it seems it would help when you are trying to get something cooked and kids are running in and out. I'd get one of those screen things you can put in front of the doors with the magnets down the center opening so you could keep the doors open without the problem of bugs. I love the bus though and I give her kudos for having the courage and ingenuity to do this. Her kids will always remember it.

This woman has incorporated a lot of clever ideas into this shuttle bus without getting carried away.

Awesome job. The pullout faucet for outdoor shower IS GENIUS.! 434 dislikes......How can any sane person not appreciate the work that went into this build!?!

This Mom really did go to a lot of work on this for her girls. Be safe out there, family ;-)

I'm a bus driver. All of the emergency hatches leak. Idk why. That marine hatch is brilliant!!

It’s a cute home. I especially like the bed solution.

Rita is an amazing mom and what a hard working individual. The girls have no idea how lucky they are. I really like the idea of a shuttle bus conversion. Thanks for uploading this video Patrick. Thanks for letting Rita talk.

I like how financially realistic this tour is. The fact that there’s enough space for 4 girls is awesome.

Thank you for the the tour, Rita! You did an awesome job!

Great build! I love love that this single mom has gone to such lengths to be able to travel with her girls! I’m not saying that there aren’t plenty of single moms that do but as a single mom I was intimidated by the thought of camping by myself with my kids. Forget doing a build and hitting the road for some amazing adventures! You’re pretty awesome Rita! You’re kids are very lucky!

She is an inspiration. So smart. Go girl!!

She's a smart lady! Great work with her shuttle!

I really like the attention to the small details. Also the maximizing the space. The marine hatch is a brilliant idea! Great little home!

This is what I want. Happy to see a converted vehicle that fits more than two ppl. Great job!

I want to be her when I grow up. lol. I’m probably older than her. But this is certainly my goal. My inspiration now. Thank you Rita.

Idk how I’d feel about taking a poop out in the open like that with everyone watching even if they’re my family 😭

Brilliant ideas! Especially the hangers and hooks, then the curtains! Amazing !!

Beautiful shuttle bus!!! Thank you for allowing us in to your beautiful home.

Oh yeah I would definitely buy one and live my best camping life in it. Thanks for sharing

I’ve never heard of magnetic paint great idea

I'm lovin' this mom and truly enjoyed watching her explain the conversion of her mobile home. Not only is her knowledge impressive, but her strength and kindness are as well! 😊

Absolutely beautiful!!! God Bless you all! My husband and I are planning to retire in 4 years and have been thinking of a shuttle bus. I think I can convince him now. You did an awesome job!!!

Rita is a rockstar🤩! Great design and don’t listen to the trolls!

one of the best bus conversions ever...

Great job filling a niche - East Coast interviews and tours. Excellent interview style: great listening and filming, good questions, nice supportive comments to the person sharing. (Cute thumbnail for this video.)

My first nomad vehicle (over 5 years ago) was a converted 1993 Ford e350 turbo diesel starcraft shuttle bus that i bought for $4,200. There's videos of it on my channel years ago. It just became too much vehicle for me so i made the switch to van life 4 years ago. She did a great job with this even if she had a little help. What a cool mom! And just wow! Being a single mom with 3 kids is hard so i give her mad props. I have a friend who has a skoolie. I love those too and can't wait to one day get the chance to convert one of those. Thanks Guys fire such a great tour and interview.

They really did a great job transforming this bus to a functional living space! Outstanding ....... & Patrick likes it too!

I love her house, she's such a lovely. Thank you for the tour👌🏽✌🤞🤙💙🤜🏻🤛🏿

I would build a box top and mount a cushion on top of the toilet seat so it looks like a small bench seat. Lift to go potty.

Congrats to this amazing mom! She did an awesome job converting her bus to fit her family! I just found ur video but couldn't go without commenting. Thanks for posting.

Wow! I never would have thought to get a shuttle bus. So much room inside. She thought of everything. It's beautiful!

There's a lot of simplified carpentry in here that show a lot of ingenuity. Great! saving this for future viewing.

I love the beds! Finally someone who made proper beds for her children ! Great conversion, I saw some comments talking about the toilets but I doubt they let it open like that, they probably have curtains.. I think it is a good spot because it's easier to put the smell out and in such a tiny space there's not exactly an ideal spot but toilets

I had to sign in just to say that this woman is the most pleasant person ever. She has a great attitude.

Awesome! How intelligent n courageous of her! Such open n large-hearted! God bless ya Rita!

Looks great! I especially like the bedroom design. It is just my daughter and I, so the "twin" bunks would work fine for us.

This is just an awesome conversion! Good for you Rita!

Cool conversion. We are also Skoolies. 1983 Ford My husband converted a short school bus and we sold everything. Have lived on the road over 2 years and love it. We don't really miss having a house and our backyard always changes!

Awesome 👏 she had some great ideas I’ve not seen before ❤️👍😂🚌😎😊🎬🎶🎥 thanks for sharing and safe travels

My childhood dreams are right here.my parents did lots of camping and never used a vehicle to travel and live in but it was so engrossing to see these solutions for living with the four. Thank you for your kind tour.

Great and strong mom..... Love you from India.. God bless you dear... I really love this bus

Another great video ,! Thank you so much for all of your efforts and knowledge!

OMG! That lady is so smart. Awesome van setup.

This just goes to show that you don't have to spend tons of money to have a nice workable camper! Nice job! Kudos to Rita on her efforts to give her girls great experiences!

Rita, good job on your tiny house shuttle bus! It looks comfortable to spend days in and it still looks spacious and bright. The outside shower + the magnetic strips (that hairbrush! ♥️) are very thoughtout.

I've been looking at shuttles for a month or more. I saw one on marketplace on FB, and wanted it for a metal detecting rig to camp at hunt sites. Since I haven't seen any conversions, this was welcome. Mine will be simpler in some respects, since I will be flying solo. Thanks for the video. 👍

30 inch wide mattress x 6 feet is bunk bed size if you want to buy a regular mattress. Great buildout. I love all the windows you get with a shuttle bus conversion so you can see the great outdoors and not feel confined. Happy travels.

I LOVED this and I admire Rita so very much! She did a great job on this conversion...everything is so practical and organized! Best wishes to her and her girls and safe travels! Thanks for the video!

Wow, that is THE best van plan I've seen. Well done!

You have built an adorable AND practical van. God speeds to all of word Van living! !!!@

one of the cleanest. and simplest ive seen with a great layout. very nice

This is the 2nd video today I watched on your channel! This is the type of conversion I want to do, too! She nailed it with that bedroom! And I like tthat she keeps is simple! Thanks for sharing!

Rita, most of the critics here don't have a way of living in the outback like you 4 girls so they are envious of you. Don't sweat over their comments. The van is lively and your life is to die for. 10/10

Very well thought out design. Nice budget build. I bet the kids love it.

She did a great job on her conversation. By the way she sounds , they are really enjoying themselves. Thank you both for sharing.

What a great conversion. Simple layout, and so practical. I really appreciate you filming and posting this. Just great! 👍🏻👏🏻🌹❣

I’m jealous! She got to meet Patrick & she didn’t have to buy an airstream to do it!

Rita is awesome!!!! her girls are lucky to have a mom like her

That was amazing Rita..good for you! love the use of shuttle bus! Very smart how you did it all! Save time and money! kudos and thanks for sharing!

Hurrah Mom! You're inspirational, your girls are very lucky...Happy. safe travels.

Ive spent many a day transporting seniors in a van like that and ALWAYS thought it would make a great tiny home. So much space when you get the seats out and open it up. Great idea. Now that I’m retired, this might just be the very thing I do!! Thanks so much for the honesty and your hard work will pay off in the many moments and many memories you and your girls will recall/remember from the days on the road in the tiny house on wheels!

Awesome idea Rita! Your girls are lucky to have a clever and amazing mom like you! 💞💞💞

I’m watching a ton of these for inspiration but this is one of the few I’m saving. Well planned layout

It's Patrick & another lady with a van. I love this van. I agree this is a better option then a skoolie. I really like the design and layout. Great family great van build.

Amazing mom so smart God bless this family x

Nice bus, nice lady. God bless her and her children on their travels.

What a cool mom. Great build

That’s a great setup, not complicated at all!

She thought of EVERYTHING. This is awesome.

OMG..the first single MOM with kids I have seen in the Van world. Thank you for sharing this ladies story!!!

I'm also a single mom and this lady has totally inspired me to go for my dream without fear. Such clever storage ideas for everything. Absolutely love it!!

Love your conversion! Perfect for family road trips!

Wow...I’m in love with your shuttle bus...and so jealous...God Bless and enjoy life

I am so impressed!!!!!!! God bless her/girls.

I love this conversion! What an intelligent and wise person. If my GMC Savana 2500 cargo van becomes too small I will certainly consider a shuttle bus conversion. Impressive!

Greatest Conversion I have seen. Great job! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice Job I've seen a few other conversion like but this is one of the better ones, the way she did her layout best use of space. It's unfortunate but a lot of times these vehicles go for scrap because it's hard to find buyers for them, but this is definitely a good use for something like this. I've actually seen one where they kept a wheelchair lift and used that as a outside shower and extra space.

Amazing build!!! such a good flow!!! all the windows visible nice simple systems. just fantastic!!!

Rita, You’re an amazing Mom, and there is no doubt your girls will have some of the best childhood memories to look back on when they grow up. I have a feeling you’re going to be taking out your grandchildren when it’s time too. You’ve done a great job and take a moment to be proud.

I am in love with this conversion! I've watched it four times now and I've shared it. I will be looking up the conversion experts who helped make this build happen. I am stoked! Been sleeping in my cargo van with my five dogs and two cats for six months now while still working until I retire this summer and finally hit the road! And we're going to do it in a converted shuttle bus!!!

i love it! i have three daugthers myself and a single dad. your truck/bus camper may just suit our need for a camping truck. right now i have an old 199 kia dropside ceres for conversion.

What a wonderful interview. I had been in love with vans, now thinking about a Skoolie but Rita has made me stop and think about a shuttle bus. She did a great job! What an interesting and insightful person.

I hope she makes more and sells them!!! What a brilliant woman!

Very cozy tiny home and beautiful family god bless ...🙏💗

Your daughters will have great memories which are priceless!

Rita nice, very nice, the van also, we could see she is very well organized and the daughters will be great girls like their mom.

Iam in awe... With the lady and this conversation....

Nice build! Thanks for sharing! Happy travels!

What a very very nice van you have, love how you have everything in it's place.

Again, thank you Rita, you are so special! 🦊💕

I like how she opens the window, turns the faucet and Walla! a warm 🚿! so clever!

We just received our van, with the lift...and the majority of the seats except for the drivers and passenger at the front have been removed. You have a great informative video. I appreciate seeing it. Enjoy your travels.

Very nice conversion by a mother, with the girls around.. Salute to the mother.. Namaste from India..

Wow!! Beautiful job - I love the floor & the cabinets & bed woodwork are fabulous. Thanks for sharing!

Such a nice lady and thoughtful mom. Beautiful conversion.

This is my favorite. Seriously. Pretty and practical.

I always tht this would be a good idea too. I'm with ya. 👍 Nice work. Enjoy! 🌲Great job Patrick and Rita both (and family).

Awesome! I purchased a 25-ft 2005 E450 shuttle bus 14 months ago and I love it. It was fantastic to see a conversion made on a vehicle similar to what I have. That key for the door is interesting. No one told me about that. Wish I had the handicap door and a back door in mine. But I will be replacing the back emergency window with a double door soon enough.

She did a wonderful job converting this bus shuttle 😍😍😍😍😍😍
