This bus really reflects her darling personality. I would have given up the closet and made a bathroom for me but would not made any other changes

Yes even a wet bath and a Drop down TV at the end of the bed or one of those that rises up out of a cubby nook by a remote control.

Agreed I don’t understand people who have a build with no bathroom. That would be essential if I were looking for one

You think a shower and toilet could fit in that little closet?!

But realize a bathroom has a lot of empty space whereas the closet is stuffed. Lots of vanlifers end up removing bathroom/shower or repurposing. She could always incorporate a potty elsewhere in the van.

A wet bath would be ideal for something this small.
Her bus interior looked calming with those light wood colour and lighter paint. Felt clean line and not clutter at all. most of all, love her way of doing her own way, and accepting the mistakes and just be herself. No, we don't have to wait for someone to move on. You go girl!💪
I really appreciate her honesty about where she made mistakes, would change things, struggled, and things she thrifted
It's very nice but what about a bathroom and shower ?
Add a small restroom and you're set ! Beautiful Bus Camper !
cute little rig but i think id like some restroom facilities
I love how she used so many reclaimed materials from ingenious places! And for a beautiful result. Happy travels!
I'd definitely go for more cabinets on top so that I could fit in a shower and toilet

Fr make the couch smaller and put a bathroom in
I think the leather tab drawer pulls are so smart, especially in such a narrow space. OMG, Paint sticks? I'd have never thought of it!
I'm not sure I could do without shower or toilet...public rest rooms are not my thing & I always try to avoid them..

I was hoping her drawers in front of the bed was a cassette toilet, or some other kind but no and she doesn't even address it. Being a "woman of a certain age" (quote from doctors) I need access to a toilet at all odd times of day and night.

I've watched a number of videos on converting buses and vans and the women always install a closet and the men install a shower or bathroom.
I would turn the closet into bath and this would be perfect for me
15:16 Semi-retired welder-fabricator here. I like the sight-lines front-to-rear. The closet creates intimacy in the bed area, and its horizontal lines direct the eye into the greater space. Visually very appealing! . And minimal cabinets above waist-level increase the sense of visual and visceral openness [applause]. . With nearly two decades full-time live-aboard in our ExpeditionVehicle -- after a half-century of camping in lesser rigs -- we evolved toward many of similar design decisions. . Maggie, We think you are a natural at this. Everybody in the office and shop is looking forward to your next build!
Very nice but I personally would need a bathroom and shower
Great job!!!! I couldn´t live without a shower and without a toilet. But the rest of the bus is PEPRFECT. Congratulations!
I didn’t hear you mention anything about your shower or toilet. The bus is so adorable!
I can never understand the no bathroom or at least a toilet
the soft colors and feminine textures are gorgeous. I'd feel very at home in that van.
Really great build! Cozy and bright. I would feel scared to not have any blackout curtains though. Also, a bathroom would be great.
She is so resourceful. The lock mechanism and the overall look from sourced material looks amazing.
what's up with all the awful and disrespectful comments? she did a good job learning things from scratch. yes, there's room for improvement, but why all the nasty comments!?
FUNCTIONAL & BEAUTIFULLY WELL DONE! 😱

I love this 😀 please be careful!
All you people whining about her not having a bathroom and shower - a lot, maybe most people, that do this are using gym memberships, etc. for that.
For not having the skills, I think you did a great job! Your place is very nice. I like how resourceful you were about getting the supplies you wanted. Using an old rug, thrown out velvet, fabric for curtains, and cabinets. You put your stamp on it. And you have a great can do attitude. Thank you for sharing your van with us.
All the negative nancies can take a hike! Beautiful bus! Beautiful and sweet young girl pretty genius at recycling and decorating! I love the build, colors chosen and layout! And Love that dress! Thank you for sharing all your hard work and creativity that went into your skoolie! Many Blessings and stay safe! 💜

🤔…….No shower or toilet. But it is her first build, and I think you did an amazing job putting this bus together. Especially the storage you created in your bus. However, I get the feeling that this may be your first, but not your last build. You’re so smart and innovative. I also love how you were able to salvage different items in your build! I know you’re very proud of what you have created, but I believe years down the road, with the knowledge you’ve gained, you will build another camper with more improvements. Great job!!! 😉
She's so adorable. I can see a lot of strength in her small frame. I wonder why she didn't opt for a shower and toilet. That would've been my starting point. Safe travels young lady.
Pretty amazing how much recycled materials went into this bus. Great job, Maggie!
I'm a 54yr old female and this something I've been looking to do..but I'm limited in money and health.I really want to do this bad. I've been collecting furniture and materials that can be refurbished and used for a multitude of applications. I've been dragging my feet thinking this is impossible..but young lady you've inspired me..looking at your tenacity and workmanship with no experience, oh less not forget the repurposing..you amaze and inspire me. Stay safe ,be careful and mindful of your surroundings..lot of love and joy your way!🥰🥰
Hi Maggie, loved your video and that you did your bus conversion mostly by yourself, learning along the way. I'm an old retired General Contractor and Building Official and love to see young people who show initiative and drive to create for themselves. Sadly, those traits are rare these days, so it is really refreshing to see, when I can find examples like yours. Good luck with your future travels.
Maggie, your statement at 14:45-15:10 is 100% accurate. Do your dreams, if you wait on someone else, you shortchange yourself. And it IS empowering!❣
As a woman (who is a little pretty handy, but also not a professional), her tenacity and resourcefulness (IKEA bedframe and speakers) through the build is inspiring. I’m impressed by how everything came out and how modest and refreshing she is. Even though she’s pointing out some of the mistakes she made, everything looks so professional and thoughtful (particularly the lock latch and the curtains), and she encourages you to learn from those mistakes! This gives me so much hope and motivation to keep striving to do similar projects.

Please keep those gorgeous curtains!! Use your love for seeing to make magnetic window covers just for nighttime with reflectix or whatever you choose. Those curtains you have just add to the beautiful decor.
Mistakes? Meh. I LOVE the creativity that goes into these conversions.
She did an awesome job and a lot of her items are repurposed . I would of gone with a max fan instead of a sky light but once she has something to hold it open it will give more airflow . I have no doubt with upgrading her solar panels to what she wants and making darker curtains her bus will become everything she needs . Job well done !
The bus is lovely but her personality is the best ❤️ She seems so nice! I love all the effort she put into the conversion.
I love the light colors you used . It makes you bus look like a home. I'm loving the ceiling wood , its sooo nice. Good job on your build.
Looks so open and airy. One of my favorite bus build.
Question: No toilet, no shower? Answer: Cassette toilet out of view or outside, shower curtain with hoop rod and camp shower kit, also outside. There. Now everyone can calm down and unpucker about the loo.
Beautiful ... but where is the toilet & shower.
She's not mentioning toilet and bath so important for me

Absolutely love this bus/home it's very lovely! I actually thought that the closet was going to be The bathroom! So was extremely shocked when it was a closet! Which is cool..... But would rather it be a place to potty....maybe even a shower 🚿too!! Other than that the bus/home is perfect!! Absolutely perfect!! And you go girl! How much more adorable could you be! So awesome keep following your dreams! Cheers!
You tried to say follow the professionals in the sweetest way,but YOU did it girl,& now you gained so much skill through experience!!😊👏🏽
You did an awesome job. You should feel empowered. I wish I were just a few years younger and my health was better. Live the dream girl and have fun.

Glad things turned out great for you. I'm also even more glad that you were not a victim to a bad relationship that ended fatal
Awesome bus build especially coming from not having any experience. Very clean and bright and perfect for you. Great job!!
One of the things I really admire about this bus conversion is the amount of bargain purchases and repurposed parts and materials. Winning ! 👍🏻

Very nice!….. BUT WHERE’S THE BATHROOM?
Doing without a bathroom must've been tough for people during the draconian lockdowns. Especially since the gyms were closed. I would definitely give some serious thought to the basic necessities, if I ever find the skoolie of my dreams. 🚿🚽 Still it's a sweet little bus and a sweet girl. Stay safe!
I'd switch that wardrobe for a shower/toilet. And slide out the fridge. But then I like to have cider handy. :P
Love the style. She reminds me of a young Sally Field.
Definitely keeping the paint stirring sticks in mind when I get my first van! floors look great!

Thats really a wonderful accomplishment. The lock was a great idea. The first video of the inside I thought was a camera trick because I was amazed how everything fit into that small space.
awesome use of space and 'fluidity". I am considering a schoolie and I love the ideas that people use on these schoolie projects!!!! Kudos!!

Wow, this girl is super talented! Love her bus ❤
Please please please make sure someone can’t break into your bus by using a pin to bump up the interior lock that goes through the floor. It looks like it goes completely straight so nobody would have enough leverage to bump it regardless, just be conscious of any slack if not fully engaged. Super cool build regardless!
The paint stir stick floor 😳🤯turned out great. This is a beautiful build.
You did a great job with this build. Very impressive! Gives me great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
I love your story and your determination. YOU ROCK. Keep up the fight
Hello Maggie. Well young lady you have done well with fixing your van to its current state. Very nicely done indeed. Nice tour of the van. Well done all around. Irish Bob says hello and travel safely and well.👌😇😎
Love love love the door mechanism. Now I can finally do mine!! Thank you!
I truly like your build. Ideal. You did a great job. I particularly like the front seat cover and the door locks.
Such a smart young lady. Cute skoolie creation; but gotta have an indoor toilet/place to wash up. Stay safe.
This'a a quality presentation by a charismatic spokes-model. At the conclusion of this tour, the office subscribed to your KZread channel 'littlehomebus'.
I love how custom it was a very tiny home for a very tiny person that was so cute it melted my heart thank you so much for sharing❤
Love your color pallet. 💝🙏💝 bright and cozy!
I'm an artist, and appreciate the artistry that went into building this living space. It seems peaceful, but if it were my living space, it would need at least one little something that adds a punch of color, and a houseplant. A portable toilet on wheels in the closet and something to cover the entryway doors for privacy would be must-have items.
