Transcend Existence

Transcend Existence

For now, This channel will document the process of converting the bus named Transcendence, along with other fun stuff and musings of all sorts. I have decided to downsize and live a life of travel, exploration, and adventure while I'm still of age to fully enjoy this magnificent planet we call home. 2015 was the year of a major lifestyle change for me. I lived in a Tipi for 6 months while remodeling my home of 20 years. In October 2015, I sold my home and am currently living in an RV full-time while working on Transcendence. Please subscribe and join me on this Journey of a simple life with more freedom. :)

    What's the reasoning behind doing the sloped transition versus raising the whole front? Aerodynamics?

    I noticed that most school bus ether have a deck, solar panel or half& half. I was wondering if you have ever see/build a deck the full length of bus and on top of that solar panel setup the full length of bus on popup system. you could raise and low the panel by a big wheel like the old school popups.

    Found your channel off of the Nomadic Movement. I love your build outs! I sold my massive home a few years back and bought a massive 5th wheel in hopes of traveling full time after climbing the corporate ladder. That and the way the world is heading, bugging out is the best plan. Take your home with you. Needless to say, if I had it to do over again, I would go with what you're doing. May still if I ever get time to sell the 5th wheel. Quick Question: Can you make it fully off grid?
