This is the best family of 4 setup I've seen yet. I'm partial to split bathrooms (so that both halves can be used simultaneously), but otherwise this is exactly what I'd imagined for my family, and so beautifully executed.

I'm in love with this bus but unfortunately can't afford it. But wishing the best travels to whoever buys it and may your travels be blessed 🙌 and for you the sellers may your best lives 🙏 be the best for your lives ❤
Very nice build. Very clean looking and spacious. The center door is nice and the paint scheme is beautiful. The only thing I would've done differently is put the bathroom in the middle of the bedrooms separating them so you wouldn't have to walk thru the bunk area from the master bedroom to use the bathroom. [ M. Bedroom ]>bathroom
This is hands down the best build I've ever seen.
I absolutely love this bus. I pray one day I can afford to get me a bus for me and my family. I dream of having this kind of freedom to go wherever we want n just be free to live how we want where we want. I feel so lost n stuck in my current situation as soon as I get the money I will have skoolie like this with a couple changes like I gotta have a wood burning stove and a working office/school station everything else is amazinf
Chuck, your narration and videography is really well done.
Love the amount of counter space!

I have to agree, even though there are sooooooo many great components, the coat hangers at the entrance! I mean it when I say this is a home, truly, when you fulltime in a bus, it can be, a horrific, but the phnominal workmanship is breatless, this is what anyone would dream of! I salute you, your crew, and thank you for sharing this masterpiece Skoolie!!!!!

That is an amazing build! My father and I are looking for an rv but this looks like a home and a lot more comfortable than any rv I’ve looked at!
шкафы без ручек, очень хорошая идея. обеденный стол, из двух частей, выглядит тоже отлично. внутри светло. телевизор занял место+ электрический привод...просто игрушка, потребляющая энергию. замечу что внешний блок сплит системы, выделяет очень много тепла, летом, и очень много холода зимой, не место ему под автобусом. не нравится, что у мебели острые углы. место над водителем пустует, там поместится кровать, с лифтом. удачи с постройкой автодомов!
That is awesome! I might just have to rethink my build plan. I don't need bunks and need a king bed. So I would open up the rear. And then I would change the front to have a swivel captains chair for the front passenger and a love seat behind it.
Hey Chuck, sure do hate what's happening to Lyss. Man KZread and there algorithms 🙄. Keep up the good work brother, I'm surprised your not covered up with work. I think you do great work you and your team. Folks don't have to take my word for it, just look at Lyss's schoolie. I wish I had the money, I'd dam sure have you build me one. Keep up the good work !!
This is the Standard for sure! Stunning
Chuck I learn so much from your videos. Have a home in Oklahoma I am going to sell. At first was thinking about a box truck but love the skoolies. When house is sold will have enough money to have someone build it, was going to do it myself but it would take me forever. Love your great workmanship. Keep up the fantastic videos. ALAN

I am in love with this. This would be perfect for me ugh I have to keep hope I will find one just like it or get it built that way 😢
First video I watched was of the amateur built bus. Your work is very good and obviously good. You can immediately see the differences. My parents have been RV living with various setups for 30yrs. 12yrs straight in their 1st setup. Dads clever enough to take an older 25yr old leaky 5th wheel rv and turn it into a great rig to live in the mountains over the summer. (Sleeps 3. My tiny frame fits fine on open couch) He just installed a split unit and pulled out the roof ac. Minisplits are awesome for RVs done right! Nice compost loo in the bus. I'm all for getting rid of the black tank and using a cassette for smaller rvs used occasionally for weekends. (With a flush hose to dump) Hubby finally found out he is interested in RVs but we have seen so many RV failures by the big manufacturers. Seeing great work that withstood real use is nice! Have to learn how to fix them before committing to it because you're always going to have something to repair, replace or maintain! Id buy a used build off of your clients!
Great job! Love the couple who built it, Chuck you crushed it! This is my favorite bus conversion.

From Quebec Canada , really nice bus .
Nice but there are a few things I would change. First off, switch the bathroom and the bunk room. Closer to the "master" bedroom is always better and you don't have any smells from the bathroom infiltrating the kitchen. Second, turn the master bed sideways and have the side tables next to the head of the bed, NOT the foot of the bed. And third, NO TV allowed and a separate washer & dryer.

Very nice bus, clean build for sure, well thought out and executed plan for a schoolie, and the diesel pusher is a big plus, I absolutely love the extra windshield, BRAVO! Problem is the cost of the build usually exceeds the value, I mean I have seen some asking prices that go over what you can purchase a nice older Prevost for, yes that is two totally different kinds of buses, but it is worth mentioning. Of course you can go places with this bus that most wouldn't dare take a Prevost. With a build, you are paying dollar for dollar for all the systems, whereas a well maintained professional conversion depriciates over time to a more affordable option, and most are well appointed high end builds.
@bill8582
Жыл бұрын
I might also add, that the maintenance of a Prevost is probably double or triple the cost of a schoolie, but any bus will cost a lot to maintain, and most people just buy these, build them and then drive them until something breaks, when you should start with making the bus dependable at the beginning, which includes wheel bearings, grease, brakes, fluid, oil and fuel filters, radiator clean or replacement, hoses, and belt replacement, of which it is a good idea to keep extras on the bus, along with tools, for just such a breakdown. This will ensure a good start on your journey, and less chance for problems to arise. I watched one build that went on forever, and they never started with the maintenance end, wound broke down not far from thier house, a quick patch fix, and they broke down again, when this all could have been avoided.

Almost a perfect conversion. If I had to nitpick, I'd probably go with a permanent RV style dinette so I wouldn't have to move any furniture around every dinner time. I would also replace the televator with a manual mechanism (fewer things that can break, no wait time for the TV to rise).

Love your videos! I know this is an older one, and I don't know if you're still responding to comments on it, but I would love to know more about your mounted under-sink trash and recycling bins. Do you have a link where I can buy those?
I noticed that with the top bunk bed you have enough room to sit up, but the bottom bunk you don't. Get rid of the storage drawer below it so the person who has the bottom bunk can sit up as well. That would be important to me as a kid and as an adult!
Awesome craftsmanship. Beautiful interior. Any details about that ceiling? It looks great.
