Not everyone that builds a tiny house wants to travel full time. This couple converted a shuttle bus for family adventures. Is fulltime something you are considering or looking to adventure from time to time?

I would love to workcamp for a few years, and the shuttle bus would be the right size for me. If only I had the carpentry skills.

Full time living but will keep some items in storage

Traveling is great for kids. My father was in the military an we traveled all the time. It makes kids independent. I was 15 an traveling in a foreign country on buses an trains by myself or with friends. It was fun.

I love the people who devise to make their own skoolies as much as their tiny homes. My kind of people.

Too many people nowadays built these incredible shuttle bus or ambulance conversions in many creative ways and they appear to be allergic to plumbing. This bus could use a better freshwater tank, a gray water tank, a shower and an enclosed toilet that could be located with the shower enclosure. I would put the shower/toilet enclosure right where the side door is. I would remove the folding doors on the passenger side, level the steps to the bus floor and use the side door (if it fits) as the new passenger door with a folding ladder. I would replace the side door with a panel and a smaller window for the shower. I would put the nice jump seat at the front.

I really like your layout, especially that the bedroom feels like a much seperately space.

I have a bus just like yours for over a year now. I've searched looking for interior conversion designs appealing to me to no avail until I've seen yours. Good job and thank you.

The absence of a wet bath has saved so much space and the interiors are bright and expansive. Now convert the doorway space of 3x3 feet into a convertible bathroom with used water running out from under the door. You will also get privacy for toilet while not having to spare any space for the bathroom. Beautiful layout.

@@tinabost4748 It's not complicated. The doorway and bathroom are two spaces which cannot be used for storage. And you cannot design the interiors without them. So use the doorway of 3'x3' (or bigger as you wish) as convertible bathroom. Make the walls of the bathroom with collapsible material and not permanent structures so that the bathroom does not disturb the openness of the interiors. Pull the walls of the bathroom only when you need to use it. If you use water only during boondocking along with appropriate natural soaps then it will be like an outdoor shower and you can take a shower without clothes.

Are we gonna ignore that they called the bus "bus(buzz)lightyear"? 😂 That's the most creative pun I've heard for a bus 😂

Excellent! Really like the look of the wood ceiling.......very simple yet spacious and modern with a cozy element! A very lovely couple......they truly love each other.....well suited.....All the best to you and the little family!

I love treasure hunting today I picked a dresser and two matching twin beds out of the trash off the side of the road and picked it up and sold it at a new and used furniture store..... I kept the dresser looked it up online the dresser is from Ashley furniture and is worth $850 and the matching beds were worth about $400 a piece

The only thing I miss here is a shower .... why is this ?! There are possibilities to put one in - other people did it .... I also would put some pillows on the couch area - the rest is great !!! 🌻 From Germany with love !! ❤

As soon as you said Nebraska, I had to subscribe. Fellow native Omahan here🤙

I love that you are teaching your son on the road. I think road schools kids are the smartest. My children are grown but I think if this lifestyle had been popular we would have done it. I took my daughters on trips when they were young and it was always a learning experience. For a while I was a single mom. I should have considered this as an option but it just was not on my radar. Now my husband and I would like to travel some. Looking to convert a bus or van into our road home. We want to visit our daughter in Florida and take our dogs with us, getting out there soon hopefully. Y’all talking care be safe and well! Leslye

Lovely bus build! What an airy and open feel. Love the name, Bus Lightyear, so clever! What a lovely couple you are. Very nice tour, great design layout. I like the way the bedroom area has those partial walls on either side. Reminds me of a Chinese garden with wall cutouts separating spaces. 0:55 - The toaster oven is the type that gets very hot on all sides. It needs ventilation. Even if you put firebrick in that cabinet, it will overheat its own controls. Very big fire hazard on that toaster oven. Maybe a slide out tray would work. Please be sure to take it out each time you use it.

Beautiful conversion!!

Seldom do the toilets have privacy unless they have shower big enough to sit in. Some people explain how it works for them. He says They only use it for #1. Many van lifers use gyms to shower. Many gyms allowed kids or they could take turns while one of them stay with the child in the bus.

Why you need privacy

You could attach some magnets to the ceiling and to each cabinet so that they stay up even when they're heavier :)

Can the propane tank just sit inside like that? I thought I had heard on other builds that they leak and need a special cubboard with an exterior vent and alarm? Are there special tanks that make it ok?? Great build!
