Is this the best build? No. But what makes me smile is that she built exactly what she wanted it to be, so in a way it is a best build. I always wonder watching these: How much did the build add to the character and personality of the builder? Who knows. but 13:58-14:40 was what I was waiting to hear. I wish more people would challenge themselves to sacrifice for a dream. On a side note, a lot of you are watching builds to live in, but, sometimes building something just to travel and vacation in is all you need. You don't have to add boondocking-galore-everything in your build. Just some simple shore power and water hookups and hit up campgrounds. I used to do travel in a built van and never stayed anywhere but campgrounds with toilets and showers, so easy and pretty cheap too. Carley you did great, hope to see your next build some day.

One of the best bus conversions I have ever seen!! I love the antique furniture and the deer antlers for handles just wow!!!

The music was way too loud in this video. Aside from that, it was a fantastic bus! Loved her personality and the bus was well put together too! Great kitchen space! The shower is awesome! Love the aesthetics and the big foot thing was great! The love and hard work she put into this shows in everything she's done throughout! Fantastic!

The music is way too loud, But the owner did an amazing job, love the copper and pennies. A true home on wheels.... A+

Music is overwhelming to hear what she is saying.

Carly is inspiring and her energy and attitude is contagious. She is a beautiful Spirit!

Best things about this bus: 1) the rustic design 2) the light and airiness 3) the great quality workmanship 4) probably the most efficient use of space of any of these designs I've seen

For a shorter bus, you really took advantage of all of your space. I love the decor. Best of everything you. Blessings 😇

Absolute favorite bus/van conversion I’ve ever seen. If I ever live on a bus, I’m stealing this entire layout design. You did an incredible job economizing on space. Love love love!

10 out of 10 for me. The bus is excellently designed and built. Big roomy rustic look shower, lots of storage, cosy look and feel, all the comforts and a strong diesel engine to keep it all moving. 👌.

now that's the most beautiful converted bus I've ever seen. really well thought out and designed. did she convert this all by herself? beautiful, talented, smart with great style

Big foot is ABSOLUTELY 100% REAL! Bad ass bus btw, I dig how you refer to it as "her" or "she" also, look into glass for that house door that's not breakable. Someone could smash that glass and just open the door. Pray it never happens, but I'm over protective, I notice thing like that🤦😂

The color of this bus is so gorgeous!

Oh damn I don't know if it's my phone or what ,but the music needs to go. It's not bad music... I just can't hardly hear her talk because the music is so freaking loud LOL! Other than that, this has got to be one of my favorite best conversions I have ever seen❤

I love how big her bathroom is and how it has two separate areas I want to incorporate that into my build when I begin 🥰

Love this one. I've seen shuttle busses (been on them, etc.) and often thought they would be great for a converstion. Carly is very creative and has an eye for design. Good for you Carly. Thanks for sharing!!!

Super cool chick: sufficiently weird Bigfoot obsession, beautiful smile, and a personality that makes great use of it. Put yourself front and center in your business' marketing, Carley, and I'm sure you'll be a success.

Probably my all time favorite conversation I've ever seen. I'm in love with this build. It is so me. Including the Bigfoot. I too am into sasquatch. Everything reclaimed is what I love. She's done a Beautiful job. It's absolutely perfect. Ohhhh how I wish I could afford to buy it. The dream mobile.

This is going to be a favorite of mine! She did a great job making it a home! Bravo!!!

That's a great conversion. And look how converting this bus led her to a new career path. Awesome! Shuttle buses are great because they are more square than a school bus and have nice windows. I look at my town's buses all the time. Their newer ones have a more snub nose.

I think I really Iike this one over some of the really slick builds. I too love lots of storage and no apologies. It's so beautiful with the woods and not a lot of "stuff" hanging all over. The shower/toilet area is great with the sliding barn door over both. I would actually enjoy spending a lot of time in this one.

All around this has to be one of the nicest somewhat small buses that I've seen. Very welcoming. Definitely seems like it could be a full time home. Good job! Glad you found a profession / vocation out of it.

This is a good skoolie. Maybe she could incorporate a quirky theme into all of her builds going forward as a signature. You wouldn't want to do that for most resale ventures, but the skoolie community is a quirky and adventurous bunch that would likely appreciate the unique touch.

Lovely home! Beautiful blending of warm rustic with industrial. I had only one issue - I could barely hear you over the music until you got to the bathroom and bedroom.

Super nice! Did you (or anyone with a bus conversion) have any trouble getting non-commercial insurance? Also, if any of you have batteries that can be seen from the outside, please consider putting a lock on them...chain, cable etc. I had 2 stolen last year & batteries have gotten more expensive with everything else. Happy Travels! 😊

I love her van, she did a great job, I like that it’s super roomy, love the big fridge/shower, sleeping area. If only I was 23 again, maybe I’d meet her. 😊
