VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
You're looking at a 47k lb, 13' 5.5" ft tall, 43ft long beast of a tiny home! The Everly family decided that time spent working, to take two weeks a year together, was off balance. With some research and a quick decision, they fell upon the double-decker bus they had renovated to suit their family and full-time travel.
This rig has two bathrooms with a separate indoor and outdoor shower! The kitchen has a farmhouse style with a deep sink, induction stove, and plenty of gear for outdoor cooking. The rooftop deck has a sturdy railing so the entire family can enjoy the views, including hammocks that can hang from the safety guards! The kids dominate a daytime play area that turns into the parents sleeping quarters at night. This crew is family-oriented and travel driven. What an adventure!

I love that you decided that if anybody's bed space was going to be converted for a secondary use, it was going to be yours and not the kids'. So many people ask their kids to make compromises when living on the road but I personally think the adults should make the compromises, because adults are more adaptable but also the adults are the ones who ultimately made the decision to choose this lifestyle. Good parenting. 👍

Man, the amount of respect and care these parents took into giving their kids as much space of their own as humanly possible in a bus...mind blowing. They made many sacrifices so their children could have more room for their own belongings as well as space to play and be. Props to them! It's really heartwarming (and rare) to see a tiny home parent live more modestly for the benefit of the children.

It doesn't have to a fulltime lifestyle if you want. It can just be for weekends, summers, etc. We start out further behind than everyone else but there are ALWAYS options to start living the life you wanna live. I'm actively planning my retirement out of the country and when I lived with my family, we didn't even go on vacation at all. Do all the things you dream of sis! You have time

I've never seen a build quite like this one. It's really awesome how much you and your wife thought about the kids, their mental wellbeing, and their safety. No judgement to other people who are living in RV's or self built vehicles, but I do often wonder if the kids are fully able to enjoy living on a bus because there are no places to play, etc. And I know that there's outdoor spaces but there's also inclement weather, days where they are not feeling as well or up to exploring outdoors, etc. But you guys have done a truly amazing job or trying to give them everything. The safety behind the rooftop deck is really genius. I hope you enjoy the bus for years to come.

Okay, let's be honest here. Most families are averaging 4 people living in a RV with small children. These RV's are big enough for children to play in just as if they were living in a trailer park home. You mentioned the inclement weather. Well, what do children do nowadays if the weather is bad? Either they be in the house watching movies, on their phones, or go somewhere where it's indoor entertainment. This family have 6 kids! So he had to create something like this with space. Or else it wouldn't work.

@@spankbuda7466 I've seen many Rv/ tiny home videos where people are living in smaller spaces than this one and I sometimes feel like the families are all on top of each other, have no privacy, etc so no, they don't always have space to play. Some people may not feel like that part matters much but I personally thinks that it does. Just because someone CAN get by a certain way doesn't mean that they SHOULD do it. Kids cramped into smaller spaces can often get stir crazy (so can parents from the noise levels, etc). I think its difficult on family dynamics to be in that close proximity when they aren't getting along, etc. Also, I've seen many videos where it's 6 kids, sometimes with teenagers, living in a single level bus. While the opportunity for the adventure can be amazing, every situation has it's cons and not all parents have mitigated the cons as well as the parents in this family

@@BlackQueenA1825 Okay, you keep bringing up this "privacy" when these people have families. Regardless if they're living in a RV, an apartment, or a SF home your privacy/personal space decreases once you start adding individuals to the equation. We do not know if these families are still owning a home to return to. We don't know if their children are well behaved and just love being around each other. We don't know if that teen was raised in a RV since a toddler and they're just use to being in that environment because this is all that they know and they're conditioned for it. We don't know any of this and just speculating. This is why there's a community of them to socialize online and at in person meet ups to inform each other viable information. I don't think that you're not putting it consideration that this lifestyle is only for a certain group. As long as there's a strong nuclear family presence their insanity would be fine!

This "reverse psychology" tactics that you and others have done for many decades is a tell that you are the one committing these behavioral acts.

I get it. I had the dream salary, home, and my kids enrolled in a dream private school, but none of us were happy. I gave up a job I never thought I'd even have, moved to my parents' 80 acre farm and homeschooled my girls until the youngest went into jr high. I gave up everything materially (not to mention the joy of living with my folks 😏), but we had years of quality time together before puberty hit.

@@DoubleDeckerFam I've been shopping for a paint job for a bus. If stick with one color, it looks like it can be done professionally for as low as $5k. That's with a warranty. Vinyl apparently only lasts 3-7 years, depending on brand. For 7 year vinyl, prob looking at $10-20k. I actually like the solid color look. RV stripes always seemed kind of cheesy. I think they're meant to trick our eyes into not noticing the uneven or warped panels. Was basically an old trick used by cheaper quality builders. Van Hool's build quality is MUCH better than RV's. Don't be afraid to celebrate the craftsmanship and materials with a single color. A small/subtle stencil of mountains or something would really bring it together. Or a map of the US that you fill in as you go. Sure whatever you guys decide will be amazing! Can't get over that shower! Real kind of envy. :)

Privacy for what exactly? Because if it is for what I think you mean, then the noise and the vibrations will be too much in such closed space. Of course maybe the parents decided that 6 kids are enough already and are just sleeping in their bed like brother and sister😀😂 , in which case this set-up is very good, at least till the kids stop asking for a bedtime story. Then nobody will be happy with this bus, but I suppose they don't plan to use it for more than few years anyway.

This is honestly more well-thought out than a lot of professional RVs for various practical reasons. The transforming master bedroom in particular is smart. It really opens that space up for the kids to enjoy so much more. Love how open it is for any activity. Likewise the roof deck fencing, especially the part that sections off the solar panels. Very simple solution, very effective. I had a similar idea myself if I were to ever do a bus roof conversion, it really is a simple way to protect from very serious accidents if someone slipped or there was a large gust of wind suddenly. That height is... yeah, not so good to fall from lol Roofs are incredibly valuable spaces on vehicle builds and they are horribly under-utilized in so many builds that I see. Even the argument of "yeah that's where my solar goes" isn't really all that good. You can put those solar panels on a frame that rises up either manually or by motor and BOOM ton of space to chill on. Not even that expensive either, even with the electric motor versions. If anyone reading is ever considering doing a vehicle build, seriously consider doing this, it will make for a very nice change of scenery when you can chill on your roof at dusk with a cup of your favourite beverage. Either that or a side tent that expands your outdoor living space, or even a simple side awning, it really makes a difference when you can shield yourself from light bad weather but still enjoy the outdoors. Downside with side extensions is you can't really do that in a lot of areas you park outside of wilderness or larger parking spaces, roof is viable everywhere.

I agree...a lot of great thought and design went into this build, and it looks great. Inside you don't realize how tall this thing is, but I don't think there would be any other way to somewhat comfortably house 6 kids. The only thing I saw is the location of those solar panels could be a hazard to anyone going up on the roof, they really should be moved so that you don't have to try and walk between them to get to the roof top deck. Someone at some point is going to slip and its a long ways down.

With 6 kids you pretty much have to build whatever you are building around them...not exactly that easy to fit 6 kids into a tiny space LOL. Heck there's a lot of large RV's that don't have the space for 4 kids let alone 6.

@@crystalcosby5269 Yes. How awful for these kids. Their nice and considerate parents are taking the kids to see the majority of America. Something other people will never experience. They will be very cramped when they are out and about exploring America I am sure. You should call CPS on those parents.

Sir can I just say…..I’ve felt that way so so so long . We spend most of our lives stressing and laboring for millionaires while barely getting to experience our lives or families or loved ones or dreams . As someone who is currently struggling to pay rent even I can’t even fathom how to invest in what I need to start traveling and vlogging and doing remote work but your sand dunes testimony has flipped the switch in my brain. This is what life is….. seeking the majesty and awe inspiring moments and sights and people that exist in it . Having minimal need of money or frivolous nonsense except what’s needed to keep our world moving . Idk how to thank you …..but please know your words have had a profound effect and inspired me to do whatever it takes to find a way to accomplish living the same way. Kudos . I wish you and your family all the best and true happiness …..one love ✌️

Know several retired folks who did this, and sold everything to be always on the road. I also thought about this, but never imagined someone doing this with six school aged kids. Your family is an inspiration, wish you all a safe and happy journey, and look forward to following your adventures. Well done.

I love your build! To fix your AC unit issues - You could have floor vents (with fans) so that the air between the two levels can circulate directly (the upper floor/lower level ceiling). That way your various AC units can all help each other out as opposed to having to entirely separate zones

I know from experience that works in two-story cabins so it should work in the double decker bus. We have a class A and we rely on our Max-Air fans and our little Vornado to keep the ACs from running constantly and struggling.

The top floor is hot because there's minimal or zero thermal insulation in the roof and it's baking in the sun all day. Mixing in the air from the floor below would heat the downstairs space far more than cool the upper space. Essentially, downstairs would need to be freezing for upstairs to be comfortable on a hot, sunny day. Plus, these grilles between floors would transfer a lot of noise between floors which likely have terrible noise isolation already. The real fix for the 2nd floor is more powerful ac, or insulate the roof (which is impractical for obvious reasons and would lower an already low ceiling). There's a reason people don't live on buses! Maybe a house would be a better fit for a family of 8. Sorry to be a buzzkill, but this bus is WILDLY impractical.
