In our quest for seeking out a more healthy and sustainable lifestyle, we made a plan that includes zero waste living, tiny home living and full-time travel. We considered buying an RV, looked at trailers and airstreams but settled on doing a bus conversion for our off-the-grid, tiny house on wheels. We bought a 1996 MCI 102 D3 coach bus and with the Bus Demolition and Interior Shell complete, we turned it into our Tiny Home on Wheels and are now traveling!

    I have lived full-time in a 2000 Monaco dynasty for 4 1/2 years and the list really never ends on things to either fix or things you want to upgrade. Thanks for the video.

    I love watching your videos. I also love your helpers. I've got a couple myself and they're hilarious. I still think it's worth having a bus. You don't have very big expenses versus a house payment. I think it's all worth it

    😊I could make the upgrade to living in a bus for the foreseeable future in a heartbeat. I've been living in a semi anywhere from 300 to 340days per year since 1991. I'm almost 66 years old though, so I could never go through the conversion. However, my wife wouldn't consider it, so I live on the road for weeks at a time, while she stays home.

    Kenny Lee here. Ya all make my day. I've been doing Bus life since 2000. !972 International Schooley. I did rent a place for 5 years. Also I had a 1971 M.C.I. I lived in for 7 years. I sold it last year. I had staring Issues. I hooked a remote starter Butten to the starter and left it on, with the remote Butten in my side compartment. I never figured out what it was. I just started it from the back. Afet selling it I used the money to rebuild my International. I'm happy with my little church bus. Hay ya all. Where is Schooley Peloza in 2024?

I daydream to build out box truck vs a coach bus. I'm still some years from making this happen. Good luck on your feline oral care. Safe Travels...

Not full-time, but do plan to regularly travel in our converted MCI soon. Won't make Schooliepaloza just yet, but maybe next year. enjoy

    Wow. Only $510 for tires on the Jeep? o.O Mine were... considerably more, but also purpose purchased for the climate I'm in (snow and ice in the winter, mud and water in the summer... Northern Minnesota is so fun! (not).) Hybrid on/offroad slightly oversized truck tires. THICK, wear nicely and aren't overly noisy going down the road. Those bus electrical panels are THE WORST. A new problem cropped up on my bus today that I can't really address until late spring... ABS light turned on and the engine won't shut down. Have to hit the breaker to manually kill it. I suspect something got water in it and melted and is just shorted out. If you guys are ever up in Northern MN, Lake of the Woods area... let me know. I'd be happy to visit with ya! :) Have a Safe & Happy Journey!

    Your cat with dental issues, is it the one with Stomatitis? My cat had her surgery, all the back teeth have been removed...it was a hard recovery time of about 2 months, she bearly started eating her dry food last week...it's so hard to see your pet ill and can't eat😢. Thank God she is better now❤🙏

    Oh I’m so sorry your cat has stomatitis. It’s such a though disease for cats. We were worried Mr Sweetface had stomatitis, but the red gums turn nice and pink after the problem teeth are removed so the vet says it just looks like he has bad teeth not stomatitis. So good news and bad news at the same time. But we have to just keep watching him. Hope your kitty starts to do better post surgery
