Looks perfect for me & my dog =) Only things I would change is having a slightly bigger refrigerator/freezer & making the bathroom a wet bath so I could shower.

Absolutely incredible. Really liked how the bedroom was sectioned off but had that pass through. You're obviously super talented. Thanks for sharing

oOne of the most gorgeous bus conversions I have ever watched on KZread. I love your use of reclaimed wood! I’m in love with your “home”!

Working on my 7.3 E350 1999 short bus but extremely limited on time..but got two 250 watt panels, nice big whynter fridge, fantastic fan, etc etc..getting ready to leave Atlanta and head out to meet Jamie and then on to the RTR , caravans etc Love your build..Dream bus for sure !

This floor plan is the one I chose to do in my bus. Almost exact. After watching hundreds of video's I could find one that fit my flow like this one.

First of all I want to say, "Thank You" for sharing your breath-taking home and time. I absolutely love it , it resonates with me. I have been doing the research on the size I would like and until now I did not think short bus could be a choice for me. Now I must go deeper into what it is I truly want (besides just a Skoolie, size is a big factor).

To wash dishes, hang a camping shower bag on a hook over a plastic basin. Store them away when not in use. Use the shower bag and a shower curtain to create an outdoor shower as well.

@MasynMoyer

? Not sure why I'd do that when I have a perfectly good sink for dishes and I am not interested in building a shower given who I am, how I travel and where I stay. I built the bus for my needs and desires.... there are however, many other people with big bright buses that have showers that may suit you! ;)

this is one of the best small bus conversions I've seen yet!

Correct, not a 4x4. I thought about a sink, or do you mean shower? If you mean sink... that is why I put the kitchen sink so close... one step away. Closer than most bathrooms - lol. If you mean a shower.. it just takes up WAY to much space with both the shower and tanks. It so much easier to just dip in a hot springs, campground, gym or whatever. Truly not needed for my needs

Masyn Moyer actually yea that makes sense. I saw someone else put a removable shower curtain on the outside of their bus so they just dropped down the window and spun their sink faucet around so it stuck out. It was pretty ingenious. ps. I'm stealing your layout

Me and my fiance and dog lived in a short bus conversion for almost 4 years we had it parked on some property in Western Maryland in Allegany county it's for sale now, but we had a great time felt one with nature waking up to birds tweeting and fresh air was great we had a air conditioner and a wood stove in it ran electric from the home that sat on the other side of the property had no bills but a small electric bill was a great time and relaxing time in life would love to do it on the road next time around , they feel super safe during bad storms also which is a plus safety can't get any better when it comes to a school bus

Oh wow, all the information I have read shows wheel wells on the shorties. Thank you I will investigate further.

Hi! Yes, the window swings open. I was super excited to find that feature. It is a security feature... pull the red bar that sits over the window towards you to release it and then push open the window. Take note: if these windows are open or the back door is open and you start the bus, you will hear an alarm. Make sure they are all closed and secured before starting the bus.

Nothing is able to move when I secure the space. 1) I don't want anything to break and 2) Safety for myself, dogs and passengers from flying objects is even more important to me. ;)

Hi Betsy! Thank you! and how exciting! There is a private FB group called Skoolie Converters that you may find helpful. Just answer a few questions and you get the keys to the world in this group! I have only been received by with delight at every place I have ever gone to across the country. That said, I haven't tried to stay in any exclusive/high end joints just National/State Parks and remote locations. My bus runs off solar and has the ability to plug into shore. It runs all of my appliances either way.

Awesome conversion, inspiring and functional. Couple of questions, what do you do for showers and did you change the window panes for better insulation? Looks absolutely beautiful!

@MasynMoyer

7 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Regarding showers... I had 98 square feet to work with so I opted out of a shower. Honestly, between the state parks, hot springs and other locations... it is a non issue. That said, this lifestyle is not for a princess if you know what I mean. I can go days without showering and just using my sink to wash my face etc. Regarding the window panes... no, I didn't swap any of them out for two reasons. 1) I am a bit nostalgic and wanted to keep the feel of a bus 2) I am so completely insulated that it truly is a non issue. I was in MN last January and it was 4 below. I ended up cracking windows because it was that warm. I am however creating curtains that will have reflective material on the back side for sun protection.

wow! I love it, super sweet concept and the colors all work so well together! just curious, how long and wide is the bus? and when I say how long I mean for the driver seat to the back.. thanks!

How inspiring!!!! Can these be parked legally on the street for any amount of time? Do you have a shower? Where do you store clothes? Do you need a special kind of drivers licence to drive a bus that size? Does it have normal brakes or air brakes? Whew......that was alot of questions! Here is an idea for you. Because your design is so awesome and you know how to set up the electrical stuff, why dont you make up a small 'how to' booklet showing pics and diagrams and sell it through your youtube channel.

Thank you for watching! Where you park and how long differs with ever municipality. No shower but I can see you watched that video so you probably already know why. lol ;) It has normal breaks.

There are very few universal things and so much of it has to do with individual budgets, time constraints and design desires. No two buses are alike. But it seems like a workshop would make sense. Thank you for the questions and suggestions!!! Keep them coming!

Enjoyed your video very much. It looks like you insulated the heck out of it. Is it still warm in winter, and how do you cool it during summer? Loved the finished product.

I've watched this video at least 8 times now... and my confidence is growing! I'm a very hands on person... but can figure out how things work fairly easily by looking at them (even if when I build them it is initially a little unconventional). The goal right now is to start saving to buy and work on my own short bus in 2018. Your layout is pretty bang on what I'm thinking just makes the most sense. Though I think I would potentially flip the kitchen and couch area. I also am not planning on being fully plumbed, as at this point I'm thinking of starting out just a year in the shortie... then seeing how it goes. I too won't do a shower, though might buy a solar shower and keep it in storage so that I don't have to depend on campgrounds etc. The biggest thing I am trying to figure out right now, is after skinning the bus, how do you attach the wood studs/skeleton to the metal in order to then have the solidity to build hanging upper cabinets, etc. If I can figure out that last piece, I think my innovative brain can figure out the rest! Would love any tips/resource that you have to give me! Love from Canada

Thank you for watching!! I originally had the bed and sofa flipped in the first design. As I moved through it and traveled during construction, I realized if I did than 1) I have one long sofa so if multiple people were in having coffee or beer talking, we'd all be on one long bench trying to look at each other and 2) when taking road trips, having the sofa where it is creates space between you and your passengers. They can relax while I listen to audiobooks. It's too noisy to carry on conversations so this configuration allows everyone to enjoy something else. In regards to attaching the studs... there are ribs that run down the bus. I welded in the bed and bathroom and used that as a good structural bases for most things. Between the ribs and anchoring to the floor. Make sense? The kitchen cabinets and hanging cabinets were all made and installed by a great woodworker in town. I did not trust myself to do the quality I desired. I'll mess with some things but I am a hairdresser and my favorite lines is... when you want it done right and done really well, you hire someone! ;) If you do want to take a stab at it, which many of my fellow bus friends have, there are lots of great videos on KZread to assist.

I traveled for years in many different types of set-ups before deciding on the exact layout and even still, I am making more changes.

I'm happy to answer any specific questions you may have as well. Have a great day!
