Couples DIY School Bus Conversion Built To Live Debt Free & Travel 

I loved this build! I may have to steal their front console idea for my skoolie :-) What did you think of this build?

Downsize to a smaller vehicle? This conversion is by far one of the BEST I've ever seen. The kitchen literally looks like it came out of a regular home - incredible. The front dash build is as professional as can be. All of it is incredible - the bump out of the shower ceiling always makes sense. Yes, your bus may be too large to park in certain parks, but as you get older you'll want the room you have now. I mean, washer/dryer, bunk beds, huge refrigerator, and again a kitchen that should be the standard for any build. Amazing home.

I’m living for the gaming PC in the bus lol. I feel like a lot of these people make it seem like all they do is travel and hike so it’s nice to see other interests incorporated into the bus. Also I really like their pretty clean and modern style :)

The dog in the door made me smile

The bus is beautiful!!! But the puppy, that stole the show. Gorgeous baby indeed. And so well mannered. Safe travels. Namaste.

I would rent a car to get around town before I would give up this bus that you renovated so beautifully and intelligently .... If you do downsize you are going to have to SACRAFICE for less while your bus is designed for more !!

I hope you don’t downsize too soon. After all of your hard work you need to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. You did a most excellent job! Enjoy! 😎✌🏻🤙🏻🤘🏻😎

You have the right mind set. How about if you keep the bus and just get yourselves a tow vehicle. I have been traveling like you, but I found that having a tow vehicle gives you another option. Your home plus transportation into the smaller locations that you want to visit. Good luck and have fun

"And we have these bunks for guests...." Cat: "The hell you do! Top is MINE!"

THIS! A work of art. A labor of love. Plus ~ gorgeous children!

Wow! You guys are living the REAL dream. Life is to be ENJOYED & to really EXPERIENCE the beauty and freedoms of it all. You are both very lucky and well deserved.

Of all the buses that I‘ve seen on this channel, this bus has the prettiest entry, it’s not just boring and no storage is welcoming and so smart also this dog is soooo adorable

I don't think I could part with a bus like this! I Love your bus, everything about the bus! I've watched this video like 3-4 times. Thank you for sharing your Beautiful bus!

This is such a beautiful home and a lovely couple! Not to mention the adorable dog and cat! I love the puppy pool outside. I can't imagine giving this up for a van, but understand the reason. Hope you enjoy this home a bit before moving on. Happy traveling and thanks for sharing your lovely home!

Yes.... The American Dream is not what the future can maintain.... from a 69 year old with attitude, YOU GUYS ARE ON IT!!! Thanks for sharing.... 🌀❤️🌀

My wife and I are planning on doing this. You're bus is beautiful. It is almost exactly what I have pictured for my layout. Thanks for sharing.

Genius for taking care of your kitty and puppy dog.It’s all amazing❤️

This is one of the best school bus builds I have EVER seen! Good job !

unbelievable that so much can fit into a bus. really cool home.

Omg I love the little box idea. We're building our own tiny home bus and we have 3 cats. I would love to see a little more in depth video on how you built it.

I've never watched a tiny home video that didn't make me yearn for that lifestyle. The cozy, peaceful energy and freedom. I need that. 🙏🏻

This is definitely one of the prettiest and hugest buses I‘ve every seen! I don’t think it‘s bigger then other ones but the space is just really smart used so that the guest beds are not just little holes, no they‘re actually beds which I think is so cool! And also that it has a door and isn’t just open

The so-called "American Dream" is more like a nightmare. Living simply is so underrated. Nice to see young people who get this and aren't buying into the lie! Good wishes to this young couple. Some really nice features, and so sweet to be greeted at the door by the cutest pooch!

Wow. This bus might convert me. Haha. I’m a THOW fan but this bus is one of the best builds I have ever seen. Love love love.

I've seen hundreds of conversions and this is the best. Unbelievable I can't even explain

This is a gorgeous home, and this couple are easy to watch. I love the aesthetic inside, and its super practical too.

I like it. They've got everything and in all the right places. Safe travels folks!

Best schoolie I’ve seen absolutely beautiful & so much room. Sending you love and prayers always, please keep safe xx❤️🙏🏻🇬🇧

Heartwarming to see that you could still enjoy the gaming PC while livin in a schoolie. All the best to both of you lovely people!!

Your pup is priceless! 😆 Love. Love, Love your build. I'm a solo Senior & am working on getting MY skoolie. I have saved your video to "liberate" some ideas for my home. XO THANKS & be safe & stay well till we get to actually meet.

This is literally my dream 🤩 I was thinking a gaming area, decent sized kitchen with a fridge and a stove, a bathroom with a shower and a laundry room was just not gonna happen when it came to living on wheels. But this really proved me wrong and I absolutely love it!

Me and my fiancé just bought a q 1979 skoolie. This video gave us both some really good ideas on saving space :))

I totally admire those who take the leap and make it happen like this couple. The bus design is beautiful and the memories of living and travelling in it will be priceless.

Me, an introvert: Why is there so much space wasted on seating?? Ok, but seriously, I love how creative this build is. Little nooks and crannies filled cleverly really make a tiny home something special.

What a beautiful home on wheels. And good for you not buying into the so called "American Dream" of home owning which is just debt. You did a fantastic job. Blessings to both of you on your travels.

We’re building our bus for the same reasons. Especially heading south for the winter.

Don't be in a hurry to buy into "The Script" as in job, house endless debt, etc. It was written by those who lacked the imagination to do what you are doing. Your craftsmanship is superb by the way.

loved it.. only thing i would do different is where the guest beds are put my closet there and washing machine so its not in the bedroom.

My favourite bus conversion ever! Blessings from Ontario, Canada

What a beautiful build! I loved hearing your story and why you decided to downsize and live in a school bus. We lived in a school bus for 2 years in 1971-72. We traveled across the country from San Francisco to Tennessee, where we started homesteading--and our first baby was born right in the bus! Best wishes for you and your adventures--you are doing a wonderful thing.

Either I’ve already seen this bus on another channel, or someone else has that kitty litter setup. Ok I was having such a huge sense of deja vu. Ok. After being convinced most of this video that this was same bus different people than the previous video I had seen on their channel. I now realize these are the same people. Lol. Still one of my favorite bus layouts ! Also love the changes they’ve made with things like the bedroom door. I can’t believe they are thinking of parting with this magnificent home. It’s so absolutely stunning.

Cutest dog on the planet! And the cat is adorable, too! Disappointed you didn't make a big deal out of them!

That conversion is something to be proud of. Great work.

I am in love with your skoolie, it would have everything I’d ever want in a conversion, especially space for the gaming rig! 😝🤓

Your home is absolutely stunning. This home has everything you need, what more would one need, really good job, love it. Good luck out there.

Nice home, you've done a great job. Gorgeous puppy and cat too.

Very impressive! I love it! The hideaway cat facilities are awesome! The fact you have a washing machine for your clothes is rare so that is fantastic! The different textures and wood mix is brilliant! The puppy is so darling! What more could you want? It’s Perfect!

Your bus is beautiful. Maybe you could get a tow vehicle to use when you get somewhere that the bus can’t fully explore.

I love this one! Especially bc of the gaming setup, shows you can enjoy both traveling and gaming. I’ll have to show my husband lol.

you can't downsize, get an off road vehicle and put it in tow

This is a beautiful build and the couple was charming but the best part of this tour was when Archie was sitting at the front door just waiting like the good little prince that he is ❤

Beautiful bus. That's one of the cutest dogs I've ever seen. 😊

This is my favorite skoolie build that I have seen and I’ve watched A LOT!

Your bus is so beautifully designed please enjoy it few more years before downsizing. I love your pets that doggo on the step wow❤️👍👌

Awesome build, I love it, there's so much functional space. The animals beds are super cool, this is probably the best bus conversion I have seen. Good luck to you guy's, save money and life the life. x

Love the lay out of your bus. Totally different from other's. A plan of your own. Beautiful bright and cherry.... Your dog is a dorible! Ty For the tour!

What beautiful workmanship. Very impressive. Makes me want to sell everything and live in a schoolie.

This is the best schoolie I've seen thus far and I have seen hundreds that I liked. Well done

The best bus tour I’ve seen, he went straight to the tour and didn’t talk as much! Love the bus!! 🤩

Look at that face when they opened the door 🥰

One of the best I've seen. The only problem with a Schoolie is it will always ride, drive and handle like a school bus. I chose a good low mileage Gulf Stream Sun Stream Hi Rise Class A. I've been living in it for 20+ years. I love the Schoolies though, I've taken many ideas from them to modify my RV. Fell in love with the wood ceilings people have done and used pallet wood for mine. Also a new bathroom counter top made from pallet y. I've turned a stowage compartment next to the door into a shoe cubby. I've restained all of the cabinet doors and drawers. Have had all the furniture reupholstered. Installed hardwood floors. I think I have an RV with a Schoolie ❤️! I love watching all the Schoolie videos for ideas and to see how creative people can be. I'd still choose an RV Class A because of the storage space and all of the hard stuff is already done. I e made a lot of changes and upgrade many things but I have a good John Deere chassis with a great ride suspension and I can run up to about 80 mph should I want too. So to each his own. Enjoy your time now, we don't know what will happen later.

Loved this schooling. Perfect for me and my 4 legged babies. Just adore the cat place . You guys had so many great fitures to this bus. It makes want to sale my house and live life to the fullest.

This has got to be one of the most impressive refurbished buses I've seen. Everything so well thought out, and organized for optimum space, and comfort! Really fine workmanship on that bedroom door too!

WASHER AND DRYER--- oh this bus is amazing. This bus has everything in it. I really, really enjoyed how y'all maximized the space. I also love the flexibility of the bus. It's extremely comfortable and a better option if you want an RV for less. Thanks for sharing.

Just wow!! What a great use of space. Great explaining everything. Thank you for the inspiration. Im 54 and start to look around for a Bus for full time living as well. Thank you both.

It’s be cool to park that on some scenic land for a rental when you out in a van.

Your bus is sooo cool..and I love the door to the master's bedroom.

That is beautiful and perfect. Best one so far. Have totally everything you need in the perfect places

The best skoolie reno I have seen, so well designed and thought out. As a retired interior architectural designer , I am fasintated by people's take on their renos! Looks easy to live in.

I'm in love with this bus, so gorgeous. Hope they have a lovely life

Wow!! What a lovely couple, you two are perfect for each other. May God bless your union; your pets and your kick ass Skokie conversion.

Beautiful home. I could live there so easily. Just stunning but I love your dog the most

So crazy that I remember as a child in the sixties, all the converted vans and buses. It has come full circle towards the end of my life and I can still appreciate this choice of lifestyle minus the love and peace paintings!

He looks like a not goofy Ashton Kutcher

absolutely fantastic build. we rarely see the room for guests and the full size range and clothes washer/dryer. love the custom doors and the pet accommodations. nicely done!

This is one of my favorite bus conversations...

I love this school bus with all the layout, the bathroom and the kitchen

A very lovely home, but your dog is utterly delightful.

i've watched many converted buses and van's here in youtube, but this is the coolest i've ever seen makes me want to live with them

Dude, its not a millennial idea not to buy into debt. That had to take hundreds of hours to build and now you want a Sprinter. That's a kick ass build

Couldn't buy a better stocks and bricks if you wanted to, this is so cute 🥰 can't wait to finish mine 😊

I've seen your tour in a few other places, and I still chose to watch again! It's a beautiful home! Once I'm on the road in mine, I'll hope to cross paths and meet you guys :)

My husband And It have had everything from a 40 ft. RV to a 21 ft. RV. . We loved the 21 ft. But it just wasn't enough. Room with a Dog ( GSD ) and a cat. We really enjoyed the extra space of a larger unit. We found same problem of mobility in larger cities. We just found a safe camping ground and rented a small car for a week. Worked great for us. And with a larger frig. We could shop for a week at a time. Not needing to run to store daily. Great job on your Schoolie. I would be proud of myself after the work was done. 💯❤️.

Wow absolutely love this! Really giving me ideas for my skoolie :) I am currently 17 and live in Colorado. If ya'll end up here at some point, I'd love to get to know you guys and learn more about the tiny life :)

This is gorgeous. One of the best if not the best school bus conversion I have seen. And, I have been binge-watching this kind of stuff.

I am sure someone, if not many, commented that y'all are already LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM!!! ✨🎉🎈🎊✌️🎊🎈🎉✨

Probably my favorite build I’ve seen. And I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time researching.

Very nice build! I hope this couple sticks with the schoolie. I think they will be dissatisfied with a Sprinter. The high repair cost and maintenance is why I wouldn't recommend a Sprinter Van. I think they would be in a much better situation buying a Promaster or a Transit if they are determined to do van life and want max space in a van.

Your bus build is the best by far and the most functional that I’ve seen since watching & researching! The kitchen, the bathroom, beds, the whole bus, I absolutely love it!! I can’t stop raving over it!! ♥️♥️ Great Job!! I absolutely love this!!

That cat area is so cool. How do you keep your cat from running off when you're on the road?

great ideas - love the drawered pantry - and the bunks and so much more

Gorgeous build! Nothing I would have done differently. Have you ever thought of towing a jeep? We park our R.V. and take our jeep and explore all of the places our R.V. will not go. Just a thought. Happy trails!

The BEST skoolie build. Simple but beautiful.

This is a really nice home. The dog was so cute. Yes really nice.

This is such an awesome build, you guys did a outstanding job !! I love it all, the wood work, storage, tile, the kitchen, bathroom. It is just as functional as it is beautiful. Cute pup ! Enjoy your lovely home and travels.

I have the same monitor....and background....and almost the same desktop. Can these folks just come build me a Skoolie? Can I have theirs? NO? Had to try I guess....

I saw skoolies before and wanted to do. Then got off track. I love what you have done. I’m so ready to go do this. Man I love this

I love this set up, such a great use of space and very homey. Also her looks like Ashton Kutcher.

I love this bus. It is lovely, and it has all that you need to live comfortably on the road.

Nice to see this. I’m in Illinois as well currently converting a bus of my own!
