VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Ron and Jess were binge-watching tiny home episodes when they looked around at their animals and each other, quickly realizing they didn’t need the spacious apartment they were living in. Once the decision was made, they dove into tiny home living by self-converting a transit bus for themselves and their fur babies.
These two life coaches work from the road and have a layout that suits the lifestyle. The bus has a design that allows privacy when needed, a welcoming kitchen, and a bedroom that holds a queen-sized bed. Functionality was a priority in this build and they achieved it with numerous space hacks!

I absolutely love the kitty section ! As others say a shower & toilet wet area would’ve been better; especially considering the build is so good.
I am proud to say these two kids belong to me. I watched them put so much hard work into this from the beginning. What a magnificent job. You two should be very proud of your accomplishment

They did a great job on the bus. I was also impressed by the young man's descriptions of what he did, as he seemed humble about it and he spoke clearly about it when given a chance to do so. Not every person does that or comes across that way in videos like this one. I hope you will pass that comment on to him.

It's a nice rv. You guys probably have very nice vacations in it before you go back to your beautiful house in Long Island. Quit acting like it's your home. Love what you've done with it keep up the good work
I think the build is lovely, I love the colors and the decor.. The Only thing I would need is a actual small bathroom with shower just a wet bath would be fine for me. I get why you guys did the toilet they way you did. It takes up less space and you gain a sitting area. I'm guessing you use the sink faucet outside the window for outside showering, all good ideas if it works for you. Me being older just like my privacy but that's me. Nothing wrong with doing it your way either. It's all about building a bus to your needs and wants. That's the beauty of doing your own build you get to do it your way 🙂 Lovely bus build... Best wishes to you both

Not everyone uses a shower in their vehicle, and many people use a laundromat. I might do one, but just soft sided so it's not taking up space. Like a shower curtain on a ring. Something like a storage tub inside a seat that drains outside.
Very pretty! You two did an awesome job 👏
They can do everything in the bus except take a shower! and go in a private toilet room! Even the cats get a private bathroom! They have room to install a shower and a private toilet room! But other than that it is beautiful and decorated very nicely!

Toilet is right behind the drivers seat it's a diy composting toilet no walls it'd not like a small room with a toilet. It's looks like a seat you left up the cushion to us it. They can use the sink faucet to shower by turning the faucet around so it can hangs out the window then they can take a outside shower.

Hi Ronnie. I like your bus very much, and enjoyed your tour and how you both described your bus. :) But I have some curiosity questions about it, because I am considering whether this kind of vehicle would be best for me in the future. Here are some basic questions I hope you will answer if possible. 1. What kind of engine does your shuttle bus have? 2. After the build out, what is the fuel (gas) mileage on the highway? (I assume you travel at posted speed limit, but if different please say so) 3. You have a lot of solar and battery. Do you have a youtube video showing the solar panel installation on the roof? (a "build" type video or demo or discussion) 4. What is the ground clearance under the bus door, once the build was complete and bus is fully loaded. I ask this because I would want to drive on typical dirt roads (western desert areas). Most shuttle buses appear to have a low amount of clearance just below that large front door on passenger side (just behind the front right wheel). I have not measured any shuttles after builds, and wonder how many inches might be there after a typical build such as yours (with all of the nice stuff and water solar, etc.). If these questions are already answered in your own video, a link would suffice, but I often find these points are not covered in "tour" videos. Thanks.

I love how you two came together on the concept of the build and how the kitties fell right into place :-) I moved into my bus before it was finished. It's still not finished LOL but that's okay that's the whole journey right? Now what part of Florida are you in? You say in the middle of florida? What part? I'm in Gainesville but I'm relocating to Fanning Springs to finish building this baby
You have done a great job with the bus, good taste, btw you look like Amal Clooney.
I love your build however I would love to have seen you put a small shower with the composting toilet where you have the chair. Using the toilet should be enclosed in a separate area and not visible to the kitchen space.

They're completely separate. The oven isn't built-in, just sitting in the compartment above the one holding the litterbox. In a small space, you have to be diligent about cleaning a litterbox, regardless of oven placement, so I'm sure it works.

Trying to think about a bed that folds up like that or folds back and down behind a bench.
For me, it looks beautiful and I imagine it’s lovely to live in. However, a reason for me to live in a vehicle would be to explore the great outdoors and really get off the beaten track. Without a shower of some sorts, or unless my partner and I lost all sense of smell, this wouldn’t be possible. And I really don’t need to watch my girlfriend sit and poop every day. Nor would I want to be watched. And my poop can stink; at least if it’s in a little cupboard/room of its own, with an extractor fan, the rest of the home wouldn’t smell.

@lilyamongbrambles4458

Probably because (I'm guessing) they boondock a lot (not hooked up to shore power) and an ac would need to run off a generator which you just don't want to run all the time so the window ac is set up to run off the solar. I've seen also some off grid setups where they used a mini split ac ( more expensive tho) and run that off solar but traditional ac systems for RVs draw too much power to run off the solar.
