VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Matt and Missy have a similar story to so many others. They did all of the things they were "supposed" to do. They went to college, got good jobs and bought a house, but they just didn't feel fulfilled. In January, they decided to make a change, so they rented out their home and bought this incredible Toyota Coaster. There are only 5 of them in the U.S and this one is a seriously vintage, thing of beauty. It's a right side driver with a really well known engine and incredibly low miles even though it was built in the 90's. They're currently traveling in it in its original state and plan on doing updates once they've decided on what they need and how they like to live on the road. They're another example of not needing things to be perfect to get on the road if that's what you really want.

Sometimes it's best to think outside of the box! This couple purchased a totally unique bus to start their conversion and has been working great for them. Are you considering something like this?

Classic. I remember riding those in Japan. The card reader said. 1.please put in the toll card. 2. The total is 83620yen. Ur fav San pun is 3min.
If I didn’t have four closets of clothes that I can’t part with that I don’t need I would do that in a heartbeat, that’s got to be a relaxing way of life. Good for you guys!!!!! Maybe one day? Lol

Watch George Carlin's bit on stuff.
He was talking about the rarity of these in the states and I was thinking I saw one just like theirs at a dealership in Seattle, and it sounds like it's the one they bought. Definitely can't go wrong with the quality and build of a Toyota, and especially with those low miles it'll be running for their adventures for a long time.
I have driven a vehicle with the steering wheel on the right side. Doesn't take too long to adapt. But, you may get lots of stares from other drivers.
Finally a van I can relate to...good for Jamaican roads.
That is the cutest bus ever! It is great you both can live on the road and on one income.
Just came across one for sale in Jax FL and watching to get a look at the interior. Great machine awesome home💜
Unique look bus, gem for these two and their dogs.
saw this van on craigslist last year. Glad someone pulled the trigger. Looks like a great rig.
Thanks for another great tiny home tour. That Toyota is very nice. Wish they would produce an updated version, and market it in the U.S. Happy Camping
Can’t wait to do this
This will be a great rig to renovate
Great and beautiful
The tear drop on the front is what the elderly put on the vehicle so other drivers know they are elderly and will be going slowly

Nice bus conversion, very similar size to our Optare Alero (ex 16 seater bus) Enjoy your freedom, ours will be on the road before the end of this year in Europe.
Love it. Its great the way it is

I'm glad Missy cheered up ever so slightly towards the end!!

@@kathyannk my thoughts exactly. We both watched a clip and said to ourselves "oh, we should have smiled more!" But for some reason all the comments are directed at Missy. Hmm. We smile and laugh a lot in real life, I promise. We're not super used to the camera. 🤷♂️

If my rusty Japanese is any good, I think the first sentence is "please insert your card" and then I think it says "the mileage is 83,620 kilometers" and I honestly can't tell what the last bit is. I haven't lived in Japan in 20 years so this might be wide of the mark.

I just wish Toyota built a bigger delivery van. All we have to choose from is that nasty euro crap. Mercs, Fiats and Renaults are total garbage. Toyota reliability is second to none.
