This shuttle bus with its windows is what I'd love to have. The windows and the woodwork are spectacular.
Thanks again Bob for your tour of our bus. We had a great time spending time with you and KC. Looking forward to seeing you again on the road!🙏✌️☺️

Eric and Robbyn, your bus is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing it in this video. You can tell you're dealing with a Master Carpenter when they pay attention to the grain of the wood, and other details. Happy Trails!

Great build! Love the wood!
I love seeing all of the different age groups joining vanlife / skoolie life 😍❤
That is some fantastic carpentry work that’s what I did for years. That’s one of the most beautiful shuttle buses I’ve ever seen done inside
So much better than what the rv market offers. Solid! Love the bed and table👍👍
Lol I love when Cody gets smack in the middle of the tour! I feel like certain homes get his stamp of approval. The woodwork and use of space here is just incredible. Really beautiful build!
Hi Bob & Cody, Thank you, Eric, & Robin for the very nice tour. The woodwork is awesome.
I cant find the words ,this is the most beautiful build I have seen. The walnut,paintings and cozy sitting area. Most people sacrifice for function,this has beauty and function. Thank you for allowing us to see what can be
This is the most beautiful and functional RV build ever. Eric is an artist whose medium is wood! You´ve built a warm, solid home on wheels together!
Just stunning carpentry work. The space planning work was so well thought out. So glad to see that they are able to keep some of the momento's from there previous home with them n there new Nomatic life. Great video Bob!
Thanks for this inspiring conversion tour. Such a beautifully unique interior! The cork flooring wasn't discussed but is primo. Though the wood must add weight, its elegant, simple styling lends a warm Craftsman-like charm, particularly with the inclusion of treasured art. Their creation almost conjures a sense of a cozy ingelnook and hearth: a cabin on wheels. I'd find it tempting, particularly in iffy weather to curl up with a book, but I'm sure they will happily venture forth. Wishing Robbyn and Eric adventure and success in their new life!
Great tour, thanks Bob! My fave part is the sliding/lifting alternate slat panel bed/sofa/storage & alt slat rails on the shelves. It all gives such a cohesive look, while enhancing functionality with amazing diversity of use throughout the interior space. I'm very impressed. Happy trails!
Dear Bob Wells, Wanting to tell you how much I enjoy & appreciate your videos and KZread channel! I’ve been lurking around your channel for apx 3 months. I find your calm, positive vibes and knowledge amazing. One day I may realize & experience the nomad lifestyle for myself, and man oh man I would be honored to even be in your presence. I’m currently living the last 7 years caring for mom. She’s 75 I’m 57. I’ve got a 5th wheel, sitting covered under a roof, for too long. It’s beautiful but unused. My dream is to one day fly the coop, go on adventures & discover new things and meet new folks. If & when I do I’m going to try to look you up. It might be a year from now, or less. But I am a HUGE fan of yours Bob!!!!! Keep on keeping on and hugs and love sent from west coast in Washington state😘

Good luck. Great that your putting parent first. I will do the same. But...when your time comes - YOU GO. Best of wishes for your future freedom ride. May it give you joy, peace, contentment.
Thanx Bob and Eric & Robbyn. I have had my eye on that type of vehicle for yrs! It's the perfect size & shape--and diesel power.
Love Cody. He certainly made sure he was seen.
The countertops are Beautiful!😘❤ And I love your table too! Really pretty wood and great design
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL build! Beautiful wood work! I like seeing how people do builds, I also miss ones for people on a limited budget. Please also show more videos for people on tighter budget.
Wow! The way things slide in and out is vantastic! Plus just a beautiful finish. Excellent.
Thank you, Bob, for being a pleasant person. It's always so nice to view your videos.
So funny this should pop up on my feed. Eric and Robbyn are actually helping me finish out a Tiny House in Northwest Montana. Not actually so tiny its 16 x 52. They are such great and talented people!!
Bob great video, Eric and Robbyn beautiful van, great design and work.
Lovely couple and their shuttle bus conversion is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for another great video, Bob!
This couple is super cool. So chill and capable. Genuinely humble response to compliments about his expert carpentry work.
I love how they went ahead and got a real mattress and then just cut it apart to fit because so many people buy that foam crax to make their bed out of and it's either too hard or too soft and I think what they did is a wonderful idea thank you for the tour

Yeah a regular mattress to me is no longer the coils and the box springs and all of that I've got a latex mattress that's about 12in thick and that's kind of what it looked to me cuz you'll have a bunch of layers in it and then when you sit on it it's often the beginning and then it gets firmer and firmer and firmer the farther down you go well that is if you're heavy enough to sit all the way down in the mattress cuz I don't go into the metrics that far anyway that's what it kind of looked like to me but yeah that's what I mean by a real mattress that's what it looked like to me
Perfect size. Beautiful build. I agree about the lower bed, leaving windows open all around.
Wow! That is a beautiful home on wheels. Nothing as nice as having woodworking skills! Good luck always.
I think this is my favorite conversion!!! I would love for this couple to help us when we get to do this!
Wow! That bus is just stunning. Thanks for the tour.
The countertops & table are gorgeous! Beautiful cabinetry! I love this build! Thanks for the tour! 💕
I had seen their bus before but ya can't get enough of a small build! Thanks for sharing, enjoyed the tour.
Looks very comfy and stylish but liveable too. Nice and open and timber is so calming with the soft green. Well done❤love it!
I wish I had this man's skills. It's taken me over a half a day to redo my counter. I admire this talent so much. Thank you for opening your home to us.
I ABSOLUTELY love your tour videos... it’s so amazing looking at people’s imagination on remodeling.... thank you
one of the nicest versions we've seen in a long time....I love almost all these vids.....you get to see the personality of people come out in their renovations and they're all wonderful because they're all suited to their builders/occupants......but this is really a cut above.... love the ideas, the execution and that beautiful wood. People don't realize how much that 'continuous board' technique adds... I think the reason a lot of people (like me) don't want an all wood interior is that you don't really see how busy it is. With 10 doors and a half dozen drawers and paneling here and window frames there, you don't really SEE all that woodgrain.... but to me it's just nervewracking, I FEEL the busy-ness and I see all those different grains going every which way and each with a different pattern....all added to when some of it is plywood, because that's multiple pcs of wood by definition. But that one board carried across the length was not only beautiful, but much less busy. Thanks for the tour.
Eric and Robin, great job, thanks for sharing your build and thanks to you, Bob.
Love the wood work and the bed. It all looks very comfortable.

Wonderful and beautiful! Eric and Robbyn's cargo truck is beautiful! I have my Mom's and brother's artwork so it's nice seeing someone else who incorporates that into their full time RV life.
Thanks again for your service to this Community.....I love seeing the different types of vehicles and their customization......You always get some idea of how to do something right or better, regardless of the simplicity or complexity of the situation.

Eric and Robbyn what a beautiful home. Love your counters and couch/bed area! Bob always finds amazing builds and equally amazing people! Safe travels and God bless!🤗😊
Beautiful. Love the counter. Awesome carpentry.
wow, what a great interview....lots of work went into their home. Thank you Bob!
That is a great camper... So cozy and feels more real, than the plasticky new ones....great job
Nice build out Lots of ideas out there Thanks for sharing
cleaver guy.... I LIKE it.... Great job. Try to find an outside home for that propane tank though.... Please. GREAT vid. BOB.
Wow Eric is so talented! Just amazing tour. Thanks for sharing Bob. Very nice folks. I wish them much luck.
Excellent! Also Berkey Filter yes sir!........ATB!
The fact that the two tall people can stand up straight inside is so smart! It would be much more trouble to keep bending! Smart move!
I love ❤️ that you kept all the windows 🪟

Excellent video! The bus conversion is very unique. Thanks for sharing this video. So many neat ideas. Great craftsmanship.
VERY impressed! Really love the first class woodwork, creative layout, and most of all the warm & cozy feeling!
That Mitchell Johnson painting must be worth several times more than the van! No wonder you shaped the counters to fit the painting.😊
This is my favorite episode I have seen! Inspiring!
The wood and craftsmanship is stunning.
The wood work is amazing. Great layout too. I’m surprised there weren’t any curtains or window coverage. With all the Windows, people can look in at night. Thank you for sharing your world with us.
Absolutely LOVE these van tours. Keep doing them. Even if you just get one idea from an individual one you might think that's just the thing and do it for yourself. LOVE this build.
Wonderful build. This gave me an idea for tansu style cabinets in my zen refuge. But with lift up cabinet doors instead of drawers. Fitted under the steep shed roof.
Wow! Beautiful, thoughtful build out! Good luck to them in their travels!
Very nice, the wood work was just incredible. I kept wondering what innovative setup these folks came up with for privacy at night regarding all the windows.
OmG! The two youtube subjects I watch all the time combined: Camping and log slabing / table making (river tables and epoxy stuff). What a magnificent build.
Oh my goodness! I love this! I have cedar saved for when we do ours. I have everything ready. I’m going to start looking.
Hello! Eric and Robbyn! Saw Eric over on Jaxx's Skoolie conversion with "The Magnificent 7! You two have a beautiful Shuttle. This is what I hope to get to convert into my own home. I will 'chase 70' mostly in the East, but also hope to get out to Arizona/Washington. Thank you for the tour! Hope you get your solar upgrade soon!

Beautiful! Cody was doing a smell tour lol
It's a bonus when you are a builder carpentry man. This lady has a beautiful home
He is definitely a master craftsman. Beautiful work!
Wow wow wow, what an amazing Carpenter & they seem like super folks. The rig is oustanding in so many ways its hard to find a starting spot. As always Bob your ability to interview is to be applauded. TY again and looking forward to meeting you one day.
Suggestion: it is best to avoid hiring anybody to do work for you the way he stated “time and materials” ...always get a firm price that you both agree on from the start. They will often try to force you into that situation because it is better for them, not you. You may find out they work a little slower if the meter is running. Best to agree to a price that is fair for both parties up front. ✌️

@@sanwages It's possible to spend far more than $50 per hour having someone build out your van. The larger companies that do it will be charging a lot more than that, as they have so much overhead that has to be paid for.

He was obviously speaking in general terms about his pricing methods, and both he and Bob acknowledged that. Why make an unfair comment which doesn't acknowledge what was said in the video?
What a great idea and gorgeous build. Stunning cabinet tops...Thanks Bob...so nice to meet you again Bob at the RTR 2019...So Happy we got to go there..
Beautiful build and nice couple!
Wow! I think this is the most beautiful and smart conversions I have seen. Thank you for sharing
WOW The woodwork is amazing. I need to start going to auctions maybe I can find some awesome slabs of wood like that, You both have a beautiful home..
WOW very beautiful. Love the woodwork he has done. I know everyone would love a place like that. Thanks Bob!!
Thanks again Mr. Bob (and KC) for another wonderfully done video and tour of Eric's shuttle bus 🚐and about us folks living free on the road. I also love the new outro... that drive looks familiar.👍😉✌
Wow. Absolutely stunning. Every little detail thought of and accounted for. I am incredibly impressed! I would hire him in a heartbeat to do my conversion. I really like the idea of the shuttle bus conversion. I have not seen too many of those. Seems much easier to handle on the road than a big school bus and most likely more fuel efficient. So impressive! Well done.
Luxury at a bargin price. Beautiful rig and nice folks. Thanks for the inspiration, interview and tour Bob, Eric and Robbyn!
Wow, that is one beautiful build!
I'm normally not a fan of the U shaped bed....however...this design is awesome. I have a 4 window short skoolie I'll be converting and I think I'm doing my bed like theirs. I really live the usage of space.
Another amazing build. I love some of them for their efficiency, and others for their creativity. This one is beautiful.
Beautiful Carpentry And wood Good job Guys
Love this. I could live very comfortably in there. It didn't feel cramped or crowed at all. Well done, folks!
Love the slatted bed
Very nice work , and the art work is very nice. I love rigs like this where from the outside it looks like a regular vehicle but inside it looks like a home , well done.
Sweet bus! Really happy to see the lovely artwork. Very homey!
