Maggie and Sahil were awesome to film with! Loved getting to know them, seeing their home, and meeting Stella. Hope to run into you guys again on the road soon.
That's awesome guys, love what you have done, it looks very homely and comfortable, you don't need all the bells and whistles to have a great little home, 😀 hope your travels are filled with love joy and happiness, love the bus and your dog 🐕 😀
Fun to see a transit/shuttle bus conversion. I'm an older lady, but I used to drive one for my local city a few years ago. It's great because it's already ok to use a regular license, and drives like a car, or a moving truck. It's the best idea for this use that I've seen. I love the counter top, and that you got your king sized mattress in there. Now that's funny, but makes your life comfortable. You are right about doing it your way. It's hard to do when family etc think you're doing the wrong thing. I think it's perfect. Lots of great ideas. Thanks for showing us.
Love camping! Packing up the camper and driving into the woods is so relaxing. 3-4 day's of bliss! After that enjoyable time, it's time to pack up and go _home_ . I truly hope it works out well for you 2, but I always enjoy going *home* .
*Newly Updated Safety Suggestions: for RV lifers, Campers, Hikers, Explorers, Nomadic Life, and Travelers* I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living. Although, I just noticed your RU-vid channel, and other similar channels, displaying van living. I just wanted to remind everyone to Aware Be of your surroundings and Alert, I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc... People need to know what the up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living. I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself. Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this. I feel that you , and others RU-vidrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful. I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors. I shared this with several other travelers, as I watched their RU-vid channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others. Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience. Although, you may have knowledge of this already, I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone. *Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle. You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage Do your research for the best fit for you Consider Carrying Several Extra portable cellphone phone chargers, and cables. Consider theses items: *Mini portable power charging station. I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices. *Invest in a Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell signal and reception. Consider also the purchase of a WiFi signal booster to also boost your WiFi signal. Research to see what you prefer. *Very Inportant: Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location. There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating, or camping situations. *Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders. Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone. There are some satellite SOS texting messaging, locator devices that will send messages with your phone even if there isn’t any cellular signal, or WiFi. With this device your can still text, and communicate with others in a emergency satellite transmission. Check online, for various emergency SOS products, some are small to fit in the palm of your hand. You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you. *Mini portable vehicle battery jumper charger *vehicle battery jumper cables *Vehicle Jumper cables *PLEASE BE AWARE* that in the *WINTER* *vehicle *Batteries fail* many times in very cold weather conditions. Vehicle batteries drain more often in the winter months. Please Keep a vehicle battery portable jumper pack, this is a device that can jumper or boost your vehicles battery yourself without another vehicle. If you have a older battery in your vehicle, Please have it tested or replace it, and consider the purchase a new vehicle battery with higher Cold Cranking Amps rating. Be Aware that Sometimes even a battery that is a few years old can fail in the Winter months, and extremely cold temperatures. Some alternatives to Winter Camping, Travelers, Explorers, etc, if you can find a Warmer Climate Location to stay during Extreme Winter months, or stay with family for a few weeks. Another alternative is renting somewhere although this can probably get expensive. What ever you decide Be Careful, Alert, Aware, Safe, and Informed... *Keep a Fire extinguisher handy *Smoke detectors, and Carbon monoxide detectors can be helpful Keep a First Aid kit with Bandages, antiseptic, and other first aid necessities etc. and good vitamin supplementation, and fluids that promote hydration. Consider installing; *Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly. *Exterior vehicle mounted camera for the front, rear, and both sides of your vehicle. Some can be activated by motion, Including spotlights. *Interior vehicle cameras *Flashlights or pluggin spotlights *Portable spotlights, and lanterns Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console *Keep a Sound horn, for hiking this can service, as a deterrent, and a emergency signal alert for others. *A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, to communicate with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies, you can keep with you when hiking. Use your own discretion regarding the use carrying of any weapons. Don’t forget to bring Bear Spray Pepper spray Where is allowed Purchase a couple canisters just in case and keep it with you If you own a drone you can use it to survey your area for animals etc. However, Please Be Safe and Beware of your Surroundings. Stay Alert, and Be Safe even when stopping at Rest stops, Truck Stops, and conducting your various tasks. Keep in often contact with your family, friends etc. Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions. *VERY IMPORTANT* *WINTER AWARENESS* I would suggest *NOT* to travel to locations without internet, or cellular service in the Winter, the reason is that weather conditions can change very quickly, and you absolutely DO NOT want have a vehicle break down, or malfunction, or emergency, and not have the availability to communicate, and contact your family, and or, emergency road assistance, or emergency services. Please Keep in mind that even in area where there is cellular service and internet, in the Winter sometimes there are ice storms that may occur and this can cause Power or Electrical failures, until utilities crews repair lines. *Your Safety is Important* *PLEASE BE AWARE* that in some extreme cold temperatures that vehicle fuel lines could Freeze and causing a vehicle to not start. Just in case Keep your gas tank filled, which helps prevent vehicle fuel lines from freezing. Keep gas or fuel line additive, or gas line antifreeze, that is rated to use okay for your vehicle. Check with your a certified mechanic and your vehicle owners manual, and or dealer repair facility to inquire what is best to prevent freezing gas tank and lines in extreme cold. In the Winter even your bottled Water can freeze so Be Careful and Plan ahead. *Safety is Paramount* *Your Life is Important* *You want to Live to Travel another Day* *So Be Safe* *Stay Alert* *Keep your vehicle gas filled* Don’t ride on fumes, or on Empty. Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty. Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on. Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, antifreeze coolant, Please carry extra (oil)(washer fluid), (brake fluid), (antifreeze). You will need extra Winshield Washer fluid because of the ever changing Weather conditions, dustly roads, especially in slushy wet roads. *WINTER AWARENESS* In the winter consider purchasing and deicing Windshield Washer Fluid, for the much colder weather conditions. Furthermore, you will need extra Windshield Washer Fluid, Because you will Be driving more often in dusty, dirty, windy, and varying weather conditions. Your windshield will gather dust and debris from long term driving. Also, Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set at a home base, friends or family’s house to rotate later on, also make sure that you have a spare tire in your vehicle. Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very. Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump. Electric, Portable tire pump. Keep towing insurance to Be Safe if you ever need it. It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling. Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors. Keep Enjoying Yourself, Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature Just..Please continue to Be Positive, Safe, and Alert.. Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All. God Bless You, and everyone Traveling, or living in their vehicles, Vans, RVs, Hiking etc. Please Be Safe..... God Be With You.....

Will was the man! Was such a humbling experience traveling with you to get that bus and drive it back the way we did 😂 love the way it came out!! Gotta see y’all soon!
Looks quite comfortable. What do you do about showers. How old is the tracker? I'm seeing online that they went out of production in 1998. Can you really keep driving such an old car?
Nice!! Layout is good!! There is also the option for you two, check out auto parts store window tint. I recommend charcoal tint. 50% it allows enough sun and bonus blocks the heat from the sun. And it gives added privacy during the day/ night. I'd stay clear of smoke tint. After less than 3 months on windows? The tint turns icky purple. And 35% tint? Its what's in the back of most vehicles on the road, passenger windows. 20% tint? You need a limo business to be legal 😜 And the mirror tint. Its A+ during the day, as it blocks all UVA and 100% blocks that deafening sun warmth in the summer, no one desires. But... in the night? Eh, you can see everything you do, from the outside, no thanks!! 😂😂 Take care stay safe. Thanks for invite us to explore with you.
Can’t you put the 20% on all the actual bus windows but not the front cab windows and be legal? What’s the difference between using 20% and skinning over where the windows were , and that Is completely legal
The inside of your bus looks a lot like mine. Mine is the shuttle bus, 2003 Ford E350 Super duty accept it doesn't have those nice windows. Mine has the windows that don't have any openings unless you open the whole thing with the emergency exit. I really want to switch those out for the type that you have. I appreciate this post there's a lot of great ideas! I love the slide out and I would love if you have plans for your DIY composting toilet! It's perfect
This is very nice. ❤️ all the counter space, and that king size bed is 1st I've seen in a bus. Wow. Lovely, happy couple. Have fun on your adventures. Thank you for sharing happy, beautiful Stella too.
Just found this video, very nice. Thank you for sharing. You are correct in that you don’t have to go crazy ($$$$) to enjoy traveling. Most builds I see on channels are super exquisite and not very practical for long road trips. I’ve been planning on doing something very similar so I can get to rock launches in FL,TX and CA and not worry if it scrubs and to keep working at the same time.
STEEEELLLA! Adory pupper and so hapoyy too! Nice build and how enjoyable to be able to work remotely - wherever!! Can't imagine the mess with all that water!
I don't understand what in this build costed 11k. Most of your things were free or cheap or diy. Solar, batteries, insulation, mechanic work, tires, maybe? Maybe some stuff u didn't mention? It's difficult to set a budget on a build when everyone's builds vary so widely. Thank you for sharing. It's beautiful, drive safe.
Can you pls explain about the rotating chair? did it come with the swivel thing, or you have added that? and in the reverse position, isn't it hard to get in the chair? i'm also not crazy about sitting far from each other, and not sharing the road ahead, but I guess that's the reality of that kind of vehicle?
Wow If you guys diecdie to have a baby where will the kid uh uhm go....thats the only problem if my mom or dad would live there i really likeit but the toilet is not my type srry 🙃😞
Excellent video 🌈 I am going to buy one and turn it into half church office on wheels, half kitty Kat playroom. With carpeted catwalks all along the upper edge. Maybe some oversized hamster tubes. Hope my furry kiddos can enjoy it and not be freaked out. The apartment we're currently in feels colder than outside anyways. Love you guys!!! See you out there! PS Christ's real name is Yeshua of Nazareth. See Proverbs 30:2-6, 25:2, Romans 10:13 and Ecclesiastes 3:14-15 and seek. Hope you have a great day!!! 🌄
Fair enough! Here's a van that has a bathroom we love in case you'd like to check it out. :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DMgN3RfDxoQ.html
Really just want to see the inside and outside of the bus you know where you sleep shower show the build don’t care what brand of solar you are using most systems have gauges that tell you if they are operating.. so talk about setting sleeping storage bathroom this is why we did this oh wait this is my computer monitor
