Ever dreamt of ditching the ordinary and hitting the open road with your whole family? We did, and this is our story! Buckle up for a house bus tour with James, Maddy, and their 6 adventurous kiddos.
From dreamers to bus-building rockstars, we'll show you how we transformed a tour bus hulk into a cozy rolling home. Witness the sweat and tears that went into making this dream a reality.
But it's not just about the bus. Get a glimpse into our roadschooling life, where classrooms are mountaintops and lessons are learned under endless skies. Meet our incredible crew, see how they handle life on wheels, and discover the magic of NZ through their eyes.
This ain't your average travel vlog. This is a raw, honest look at family life, adventure, and the challenges (and epic wins!) of living small and dreaming big.

Great project. Lazy use of audio enhancer
Great feedback. Thanks 😊
Very honest… children beds are a cozy cubby hole …this van size has a limited tone line as the children will outgrow the space very soon…it will be interesting to see what size they go to then
We don’t plan on being in the bus long term… and we have some ideas for rearranging sleeping spaces as children grow 👌🏻👍🏻
That looks fantastic well done 👍
Your too kind 😊
The best layout that I've seen.
Cheers! We love it too 😃
Big up guys love your bushouse. ❤
Cheers! Glad you enjoyed 👍🏻
That song is one hella annoying earworm… 👀 Aside from that though, wow, what a job! 🦾
😅🤪 feedback noted for future vids
It would be super awesome to live in a pimped out bus.

Hello and welcome 🤗
Two years of work, unfortunately, in only twenty minutes, and for half of that, I only see your face.... The video is not, but the bus is a nice job!
Hey, thanks for the feedback... video maker or bus builder? I'm taking that as a vote for bus builder 😄
Children are packed in that small space like Sardines I have claustrophobia I couldn’t stay in such a small space
As I often say... the world is a very big place when you open the door of the bus and go outside!
I love you so much guys with you bus house 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🎆🎆🎆🥰
And from Israel!
Challah?
Sure is! The best bread there is x
Whats next? EV conversion?
Funny you say that, I've been thinking about a small EV project... like a go kart for the kids in the shape of an old military Jeep
Amazing setup! Love it! Absolutely perfect design and thought went into this! My only concern is your power system - the bus bars on your batteries are exposed and no fusing on each battery terminal. Most electrical fires on caravans and campers are caused by a dead short across the battery - thus not protected by any fuses or breakers. PLEASE cover it up so nothing metal stored in there can’t possibly sit across those two bars and cause a potentially fatal fire
Hi there, thanks for the encouragement! Maybe the video doesn't show it very well but the positive bus bar is well insulated to avoid dead shorting, as you say. This is our temporary battery solution as we are saving for some large capacity LiPo4 batteries coming soon!
i mean its fine now, but in like 2 years those kids are not fitting in that.
LOL, you're not wrong. This a season for us and we're enjoying it while they are all small. Fine for now 😊
question and apologies if it has been asked already, is the conduit running above all your batteries and solar converters, plumbing? seems a bit a risky if you have plumbing issue
I do love the layout of the rest of the bus
Yes, it has been pointed out. Of course there could have been a more ideal design here. However, this is how it turned out. The drain is from the kitchen sink and honestly there is very low risk of it leaking, it's a sealed system and even if water does leak, its onto sealed batteries. The controllers and chargers are set back so they won't get wet at all. Overall probability of leaking low, over all risk of damage even lower 👍
This a brilliant video
So glad you enjoyed it!
That looks really good!
It is!
The content is very beautiful. All love and greetings to you from Algeria 🇩🇿
Hello back from New Zealand! Glad you enjoyed it 😃
The same as you, #3. I'm a huge procrastinator 😅. As a wife and mother this can cause a lot of anxiety for our husband's, buy they knew that when they married us🤣. Love the design and organization of your dream bus. God bless you sweet lady, you're definitely stronger and braver than me.
Thankyou for such kind words! Decision fatigue as mothers is a thing!
I really loved this video and by far my favorite bus conversion ever!!! You guys did an amazing job on the design and i would bet your kids are having the time of their lives. You definitely have my vote for parents of the year. God bless you all and keep you all within the joy of the Lord Jesus. 🤗🤗
Hi Mary, yay thankyou so much! I’m so happy you enjoyed it 😃 the kids love this lifestyle and that’s kinda the plan 😉✨
It is just lovely
Thankyou 🙏🏻✨
How organised you are.. Omg! The toy room is the best of all 😊😊
Right?! It’s very popular around here 😃
❤
8 people and one composting toilet in one bathroom. The bus is really nice and well organized.
The wees goes in a seperate part ( there is a urine diverter as part of the toilet structure) and ours is plumbed down into our big grey water tank so that’s a nonissue. And then for our family 2 are in nappies so 6 people using the composting toilet and James empties it roughly 1x a week 👌🏻👍🏻
My goodness I love your home.
We do too! So glad you enjoyed viewing it!
Where is the engine of the bus?? In Front?
Middle, under the kitchen floor
Yes wonderful bus .Super work. Great
Glad you like it!
Very nice! So good to see happy faces
😊 thank you
You all are awesome what a great job. 👍 📺Love the secret room. Found you by your build from start to finish. 🛠🤯💪 Greetings from Sunny 🌞 Central Florida 🦩🍊🐊 How's the solar and battery size holding up? Are you thinking of increasing capacity for one or the other? Or both? 🤔💡⚡️
Greetings from NZ! Batteries have held up great during summer, not so great during NZ winter, so an upgrade is definitely needed. We’re looking at LiPo4 batteries next but they sure are pricey. Also the solar panels could do with an upgrade as time and money allows. We can certainly survive with what we have and are parked with sure power during winter 👍🏻
fm lndia kolkata.. its amazing.l nrver seen.keep going
Yes, thanks
And all done in little ole nz. Id love to know costings, as a fellow kiwi I would absolutely love to do this with / for my family.
Hey, yeah with a bit of kiwi can do attitude you can totally do it! We’re planning more videos soon… just about to finish our website which has been a bit of a project in itself. THEN we’ll have a few videos answering questions like this…. How much?!

Thank you so much!
Beati voi io non ho una casa vivo in Italia qui non c'è questa cultura vivere in un caravan pullman, mi piacerebbe tanto ma non ho soldi né un lavoro l'Italia è il quarto mondo in poche famiglie hanno la comodità di avere una casa. É sono persone ricche o che hanno un lavoro. Ma non vi fate incantare quando venite in Italia, la maggior parte delle persone non hanno niente, niente lavoro niente casa.
"Più lavoro sodo, più divento fortunato."
So cool
Like a cucumber 😁
I love this!!! Awesome job guys
Thanks!
LOVE FROM PUNE INDIA🇮🇳 🙂😍🥰😊🙂😉

It was sooooo good! It’s a regular occurrence in the bus kitchen now ✨👌🏻
