Ditto 😂 I've been struggling with how to fit the wheelchair, lift and a bed and this is perfect! I'm gonna use a sheet of plywood to make fold away seats, or maybe a vanity or desk, that can be used when the bed's put away too.

My friend only travels every 2 weeks to a new location. She goes to the store and does her shopping before reaching the new campsite. Then she stays put for those 2 weeks. She says it is costing her a little more, but not enough that she's having to cut back on other things. She just doesn't go as far between each destination.

Great build!! I'm currently building an '05 E350 named "ROSEY", and have tossed the floor plan around so many times, bath and shower have had me struggling, "thinking outside the box" (bus),,, has given me a flood of ideas for a bathroom, wish you were able to open it up, but I think I got the idea, can't wait to share a fantastic design for solar panel mounting. Build is behind schedule but due to finish in September,,, ish,, Thanks Bob for having such simply, honest and interesting people and topics that never disappoint,, hope to see y'all soon!

Nice! Great job! It's good to stow away the bed and open space. There's nothing as warm as a wood stove to keep the chill away. The shower is very creative. You can shower privately without getting your feet muddy and your legs splashed. You were successful in creating a cabin feel with the artistic detail and wamth of the wood. Enjoyed your video. Happy trails.

I been watching the older guys builds to pick there brains and it has really helped me keep things simple and with my level of comforts. I could be happy with. I based my builds off these ideas and learned most importantly never underestimate your desire for comfort. I don’t wana live out of my vehicle 🚗 I want to thrive out of it … I found it was more important to have a nice bed and a seating area over a huge counter and kitchen area.. but that’s just what I needed most. You will definitely want to make modifications to your build.. So just build it and change it later.. get out there!

Shuttle busses can be amazing. The fiberglass ones dont rust or dent easily, are quieter than a canned ham, naturally insulate better because the skin is a poor conductor of heat, wont' rot if you insulate, and are far more rodent resistant. This was a good video to demonstrate possibilities, thank you.

So maybe a solar generator is the way to go?!?!? LOL I pray I get to meet you, as well as some of your guests as I live my life on wheels. I am actually living in my short bus as I build so I can’t travel just yet as I have a temporary everything setup. Thanks for sharing this gentleman’s story! 🥰🙏🏽✌🏽💖
