Beautiful build! I love that she did this with her dad. Those are memories neither of them will ever forget!

A beautiful bus, and I love her enthusiasm and positivity.

Yes, Ma’am! Get behind the wheel, Ladies! Love her build. The perfect blend of functionality and beauty. So well organized. And her personality is positively Outstanding! The type of human you definitely want to sit down with around a fire, on a rooftop deck, with a beer or coffee and just get to know. Thank you for sharing her inspiring story! Bonus love for adorable dog with the best digs! Hooray for grandma mural! Happy Trails!

I totally agree 💯

Her personality is infectious! Super positive upbeat. And that’s part of what makes her successful. The other part is she’s extremely resourceful. Did a beautiful job on the build! Love Meiko! Thank you so much. Sending you sweet vibes from California💜🤟🏻😎

She is one of the most inspiring bus dweller I’ve seen on KZread!!

He’s a DOG! Not a 🍼 Baby, big difference. I understand the love for pets, but let’s be clear when it comes to defining their intention of the Creator.

Love that she credits her amazing Dad along with the family workshop! The dog looks cozy and happy. Gyms/fitness centers/Y have showers, so that shouldn't be an issue. Such a nice build, well planned and stylish, too.

Actually the dog food drawer is used quite a bit. Many of the builds I’ve seen where people have pets (generally puppers) they intentionally build dog food drawers so they aren’t running into them. Either in the front of the bus or somewhere in the kitchen area. I am just the opposite. Loathe cooking so a sink, marine fridge, induction cooktop (no gas for this chick) , and a good coffee pot! A few feet of counter space because you have to put all that stuff underneath it but otherwise-closet space!! Sweet build! Mako looks like a happy baby in his crate. Great that you could build with your dad. Those are times you never forget. Many happy and amazing journeys!! Vaya con Dios!!

One of the most beautiful humans and most inspiring, motivational people I’m so grateful to be friends with! Ginsbus really shines in this tour but not as much as she does 💛✨ love you, K!

10k in costs $100k in creative genius. Congrats-this is gorgeous.

Add a little grate and use the copper sink for cleaning vegetables or defrosting food then drop in another, larger sink next to it. That way you have the best of both worlds. It would also make a cute ice bucket if you have guests.

A beautiful bus and a gorgeous dog. Your bus is really cosy and homely as well.

Your bus is so perfect. I am saving your video for all of your great ideas. I hope to be on the road with my dog Luna within the next 6 months!

One of my favorite builds! And that’s saying something since over watched over a thousand plus! Love Mako!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Great build. She's so enthusiastic..very pretty, looks like Blake Lively.

Thrifting is a must! Treasures,necessities,and surprise copper sink,albeit small but a treasure for sure.That's right! Drive that baby with your head straight full of pride🚌🚌🚌

So nice I am happy for you 😊 A beautiful house on wheels 🚃

Lovely bus, you did a great job, love your bus ❤️ As far as your small sink being hard to do dishes in just get you a dish pail/wash tub doesnt cost much its just a square plastic pail for washing dishes. You can get one at a Dollar General for around 5 dollars. You can even get the Collapsible wash tub it just fold down to save space for easy storage after using. You can just put it on the counter next to your sink fill with water and soap wash then rinse in the built in sink this may help keep the water from going everywhere if you just rinse in that sink. If that still makes a water mess get 2 wash tubs fill on with washing water and fill the other with plain rinse water you can dunk you dishes in clean water to rinse safe on water by not having the water running while rinsing. When I use to go camping at our camp your outside kitchen had to wash tubs one for washing one for rinsing it work out well for us special with no plumping or water other then what we would bring in with us filling to tubs helped to save water. Now that they make the tubs where the fold down they take up almost no space. Hope that info will help

Thank you so much for your advice! LOVE the dog crate space and will incorporate that and the bowl solution! Hope to see you on the road!

Great video ~ thanks for sharing!! You are so inspiring, with such positive vibes, I know some gal will get on the road because of you ~ I'm 74 and did my journey back in 2000, had I seen you then, who knows??? Have fun ~ what a grand life you are living!!! I love you!

I love your energy, excitement and smile!

Love the name of the bus!

I love how she explained to get a GoodBus..engine wise.

So nice bus/home! Cosy and practical! And the owner's enthusiasm, lovely!

I love that epoxy table-the green looks so good with the wood color.

This Skoolie Bus so creative and practical..love the design ideas 💚

A quick tip for the doing the dishes without water everywhere is a simple plastic tote, say 6” deep 18x24” or smaller, whatever dimensions work. Set it up right under your tap on the counter, do your dishes, small drying rack on the counter, empty the water and then put the dishes in the rack in the tote, leave on the counter to dry, or move as needed…use the tote for storage when not in use…..

@@jmorgan5870 I use a collapsible basin in our small camper and love it. Great multipurpose item.

I'm a solo gal (with a dog) starting out on the early stages of the skoolie journey, and while I don't have the same resources she did to do the build, I appreciate the encouragement to just dive in and take ownership of the project. And I'm looking to do a 25-ish foot bus too!

Maybe consider a pop out basin from Ikea for washing dishes then pour out the water either into your sink or an appropriate outside drain.

Hi just a post to say I absolutely love your home on wheels, love the space n storage combined, the energy, calm, happy safe travels and thank you for the tour

Oh my I love ❤️ what she’s done with her home an encouragement to women! Awesomeness

Love the build. If I am going to have a big kitchen, I would have a 3 to 4 burner stove.

Awesome kennel!!! Love it!!! Good looking bus. Love your sink.

Literally goals I want this

Beautiful build! You did a great job! I love your dog too! Safe travels.

Nice and warm homey... And you are sweet. The woof has a castle with a mural!!!! Great vid...love from holland

So cool, everything was thought of!!!!!

A wonderful tour!!! What a great bus and make over. I’m so impressed!

This bench table reminds me of the most versatile (van) table on YT…a German build shows how you add an extra upper arm extension /elbow on the lagun table mount and you can move that table all around.

Decor is so awesome. l very much would love to have one like yours

Great build out. Very functional.

Loving the light, simplicity, & feel of open space. Love your attitude & your relationship with your father! May I suggest - U shaped cooper pipe on ceiling extending over sink and floor space in front of sink. Removeable shower pan for floor. Curtain to clip on and off of copper pipe. Perfect kitchen faucet for quick shower rinse when desired!

What a great father daughter project. Very beautiful and functional layout especially with so much made with reclaimed materials. Great advice on the basics to consider before buying a vehicle to build too. Thanks for this fantastic video.

I love your Skoolie, it’s so warm and inviting. I love your pup 🐶 looking forward to checking out your IG. 😁

RBG! Great name. Great bus!

I love all the thought you put into your kitchen area, your love for your baby and your spirit of adventure and independence💪🐶🌻❤️

You have done what you wanted, and a Awesome job I like you set up doggie hideaway is very crate friendly best wishes to you on the road let me be a tag along on your venture 😊🥰🐕

*very nice build spacious love all the customization*

Love, love the mural for the dog!

Great tour and advice. Love your build!

Great bus name!

Lovely lady...beautiful bus....inspirational.....all the best....

A beautiful babe❣🐶❣just like his mommy🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

Love your bus ! you done a great job on your video and I enjoyed it very much.Good Luck to you ! have great Week.

Thank you for your advice. Because like you said the gut of the vehicle is very important

Thank you for sharing your home with us ❤️

Simply beautiful

Awesome, awesome, awesome! 💗

Thanks for your excellent reflections and advice. You touched on subjects I always think about like engine maintenance.

Place towels on either side of the sink and you won't have to do so much wiping and the towels will soak up the water. Then just hang the towels and let them dry after you finish washing the dishes.

Ladies driving - I saw a petite-looking woman driving an 18-wheeler recently. She was in traffic and swung that truck right through a tight intersection and onto the interstate without hesitation. You just gotta know HOW to do it - wider turns, tail swing, etc.

Wow just wow. Good for you🌞

Very cool build!

Not sure why the negative comments. I enjoyed this tour! KUDOS

Beautiful bus place 🥰

What a beautiful skoolie, fabulous build and amazing lady. Your energy and articulate excitement is a pleasure to watch and listen to as you describe the bus and the lifestyle. IG followed. Happy trails Kaetlynn and Mako. Thank you for sharing. 🤙

Very nice build.

Very nice Thrift build.

Love your bus. FYI you should try a bob the dishwasher

Use the copper sink in the bathroom

God Bless you.😇

good

Replacing the sink would be an easy project.

This is a really cool chick!

I think when women invest in a bus as their homes, I think they should invest in a shower. That would be the most important part of the build as a permanent home. On top of having a sufficient toilet. If you women no what I mean and being young too. Overall, the bus is very nice.

Great build! Can you tell me what size and kind of bus this is? It looks shorter than a standard school bus which I love! Also, is it automatic or manual gear?

Hello, how do you keep the copper sink clean? I love copper.

❤️❤️❤️

Must have a shower.

Nice way you fix the bus up. Have you ever thought of writing a book about your bus travels.

where did you build the bus Do you know of a list of guys who will work with a senior lady from planning and start to finish the schoolie.

June 7, 2022 You might find a short term marketing job with Randy Jones at 'Incredible Tiny Homes' in Tennessee. He gave up on a marketer who refused to look at his You Tube channel before meeting with Randy. It takes only about one hour to learn his life story and his daily work building affordable tiny homes, recycling materials amap, trying to build caring communities. Olympic training river canoe rafters might consider buying a site and tow at his current site near a river which floods about one month per year. You will probably need a skoolie or van to leave about one month per year. All the other sites are away from water. He lost everything in the 2008 international crash and his friends helped him to gradually recover his business. His wife Amanda convinced him to stop building big homes and to 'go tiny.'

I love your bus! And the white linen curtains are very nice. How do you maintain privacy at night? I am asking because I would like to do similar look in my rv. Thanks!

@olbird7647

You can probably buy or make similar looking curtains that are lined.....a thin thermal lining is even better for both privacy and temperature control without being bulky.

Now I'm wondering what you had to put up for them to come and tape LOL

How much is it costing for the regular maintenance on the bus/engine.I assume it's diesel?

Shes right. Driving a bus us easy. Grannies do it everyday packed with 40 screaming kids.

Question: I wanted to know what no one seems to ever mention in any of these bus/rv builds. And that is…..how was it adjusting from driving a car to a big old bus? Did you have any previous experience driving a bus?

The first few times are going to be awkward and you will run over the curb a couple times when you take a corner too tight, so you need to focus more at the beginning. Then you will get used to it.

Take the bus to a DOT inspection station before buying... call local highway patrole for location....

The outside of the yellow school bus makes it appear like a shorter bus, however the interior appears much longer. Is this an optical illusion? Or is that a pic of a different bus :)

Form ALWAYS follows function. Still today

Hola, saludos desde Puerto Rico...yo estoy pensando conseguir un bus, d hecho ya Hable con alguien q m puede conseguir uno...lo q no se es q tipo d licencia nec

The build is great but the poor husky

Nearly perfect, just needs a shower. Nice place for a single person and pet.

Do you ever shower?

So change out your sink. That is way too small.
