You guys rock! I was on the fence on separating the front. My door sucks. So I'm going to build a nice new one. Take the heater back to Walmart for an exchange.. Bus life rocks. You two are my absolute favorite bus peeps. I absolutely love Boulder and Cards against humanity. I'll be there in April. Let's set a meet up🤗I seriously LOVE you guys! The fall was so sweet. I love the Pooh and pee warning. We are all adults and you guys are sweet to try to explain it. But I just love the fact that you didn't cave in and pay $1000 for a composting toilet. I'm ashamed to be associated with people who think that's cool. No reason for that to be that much money. They all look the same after you do your business in them..it's poop no matter how you package it.

We love the separation from the wall, it's a must in our opinion haha. Can't wait for you to come out this way, we'd love to meet up with you for a coffee or beer in Boulder! Let us know when! We're bouncing around Boulder/Fort Collins for the winter, so we'll be around in April. We couldn't agree more with your composting toilet opinion.. our setup was extremely inexpensive and that's how it should be!

You guys bring out such simple things in life. Daily life is so cluttered but looking at your video I feel like I should pay more attention to the little things in life

Prefer short bus because it's more spacious then a vine but you can still get everywhere easier then a full sized school bus

The stove is so cute. The random things I pick up following people from other countries - the realisation that not everyone recognises a hot water bottle!

If you want, it looks like you can change the direction your fridge opens by switching the hinges. That way you could open it towards the food prep area, rather than away from it.

I saw a guy who didn't want to take the time to clear his windshield because he was late for work. He'd just cleared two 4" holes in the frozen 3" snow-ice combination on his windshield (one for each eye?) and driven merrily off at fair weather speed. Cut a hole in that new door and bolt through a couple of sheets of plexiglas, before you get a ticket for driving with impaired visibility, or worse. You have many great design ideas in your bus. I've lived in converted stepvans on and off since 1970, about fifteen years in total, and always used my own designs. I favor the porta pottie in the waterproof plywood (Polyester resin and fibergless lined) closet (30" X 30") for showering with a floor drain to a greywater tank that also catches the sink drain water. It dribbles out a bit whenever i stop, so if I'm in a city, it's always empty, but I can close the valve and stay drip free for a month. I think you'll be making many design innovations as you go along, and wish you both the best of luck with everything.

I don't know what we are going to do about a fridge (it's a long way off lol!) but you just don't get gas ones! Yours is gorgeous...propane is a bugger for condensation, I remember that from my cottage! We don't get a lot of RV stuff here in the UK. Be careful with the hot water bottle and squeeze out the steam carefully before you put the top on and it will last longer lol!

Foxiepaws! I have been looking at smaller ones myself! Here are some numbers that I have found useful when trying to decide what is big enough! The 5 window buses are usually 23 ft from bumper to bumper but have 15 ft of living space length once you walk up the steps. A 7 window bus is 28 ft long bumper to bumper with 20 ft of living space length. 8 windows are about 30 ft feet long bumper to bumper so maybe averaging 22 ft of living space? From my own research that if you really want everything that a normal little house does including a shower with a toilet, then I highly suggest no less than a 5 window bus. I have seen 5, 6, 7, and 8 window buses. The 4 window buses are just too small to include a bathroom unless you give up a couch or sacrifice on the kitchen! I hope this can be helpful for deciding in the future!

love the green chillum happy trails

Living in an RV/Bus/MobileHome has been a dream of mine since I was a kid. I remember since I was at least 5-6 the only things I would make out of legos were these RV's with computers and other gadgets, and then I started going camping alot with my grandparents, and they stayed in an RV. For the past 5 years I've been wanting to get it done, but things happened so I set it in the background... but now I'm at the point where I can finally start looking for an RV, and in a little over a year ill finally be able to :) Right now I'm just saving up for the RV, waiting until fall to start looking ;) But the past 3 weeks I've been binge watching videos like this, just to give me some ideas ;) HOWEVER You guys are the only ones so far who drink the same tea as me ;) Maybe one day well run into each other and have a glass :) Sleepy Time is my favorite ;) P.S.

I should've clicked out of the pooing, and peeing part, but I survived. I just want to say this. I don't know if I can live like that in a small space, but I do love the fact that you have a home that is able to relocate in different areas. That I love that everyday is like an adventure just to travel anywhere, and have the comfort of home with you. What I want is something like that, but to be able to have a steady home to where if I get tired of the road I could have a stable location. What you have there is really nice, and someday I want to travel having something like that.

Just watched the vid. If I had a beautiful spirited gal like that I would move into a cave if she wanted one. 😀 But you should seriously keep that propane tank outside on a proper hanger bracket. It is heavier than air and will flow towards the lowest spot. Carbon monoxide detector and smoke alarm for sure if u don't have one. Try to pick up an emergency escape hatch over the bed in case fire is by rhe front door where the propane is!!! Other than that, live free, follow your dreams and make great memories. You both seem like real nice folks. Peace...

The domestic and other chest-style fridges aren’t at all like a cooler other than how they open. They refrigerate and/or freeze exactly like an upright, except the cold doesn’t fall out every time you open the door so they don’t work as hard trying to re-cool,the air every time you get something out.

I have one of those fans. Since I live on the coast in a home we have power outages because of storms. So my main heat is a pellet but also have a wood stove. the fan works great on the wood stove but is very slow on the pellet stove. I think that is because the stove pipe is much smaller diameter and also does not get as hot as the wood stove. I loved seeing how fast yours was turning.

Hi so awesome really so great. Happy travels.

Congratulations on your improvements. It's really hard to work in a small place while you're living in it. You two appreciate the little things most people take for granted. We also used a composting toilet for years in our off grid home. Never had a bad smell. I do have some concerns, though. Can you drive safely with that solid door blocking your view to the right? (Also, it looks like an interior door in the video. If so, it's not designed to be exposed to the weather.) Not trying to be negative. Don't want to pull out in front of someone because you couldn't see them. Good luck to you two.
