She did all of the woodwork herself and sourced a ton of repurposed materials to keep the costs low. Stephanie is a perfect example of someone who took action and made her dream life a reality!

She states why she was able to do it for so little- Her dad's connections and other help she was fortunate to have. I love videos like this but it's depressing knowing that it isn't this accessible for a majority of people, and many who would be willing to put in the work will just never have the means. I'm glad she was able to make the bus home a reality, but I hope her story isn't raising peoples' hopes for their own future just to crush it again when they do the math for their own situation and realize it'd be way more than $8,000.

Just a thought to save your head, May you have good adventures.

@brendag2891 3 года назад

I am tall and live in a house with a 100 year old basement with retrofitted HVAC and pipes. I hit my head all the time until I decorated it with fake 💐 flowers and ribbons so the ribbons brush against my hair and I feel it, thus not slamming my head all the time. My stove range fan is also too low, and I just magnet recipes and cute clippings and cards, etc, letting the edges of the paper dangle off the edge so I sense the blasted stainless steel corners gently instead of getting those head dents!

This is my kind of gal! I had a stroke of bad luck a few years back and my middle-class, American dream came tumbling down. I found myself in a cheap tiny space with nothing to my name. I am a single, 5'2 petite woman with no building experience but I managed to built almost everything I needed to furnish it with my own two hands. It was the most empowering experience. Even now that my net worth is higher than ever before, I still keep many of the pieces I built with me because they remind me that in my darkest hour, I have within me the power to rise again.

@amywalker7515 3 года назад

We had an older full size RV that was absolutely gorgeous but unbeknownst to us, the former owner had concealed it had been in an accident and probably abused. Endless problems with all the appliances, the electric steps, the windshield, and even both sets of brakes. I spent thousands on repairing things that should have worked from day one. The brakes failed on our first real trip out up into the mountains in it. We were very lucky we were going uphill at the time, because if it had been the other way, we would have died as both sets of brakes failed. We waited an entire day by the side of the road to be towed home at a cost of about $1000. Then almost $2000 to pull the engine and replace the brakes, put on some leveling springs and fix the steps. After all that I didn't feel safe in it anymore and sold it. One of the people who came to look at it told me it looked like there was water damage inside I was too ignorant to notice. What I am getting at is as a woman, you could be out in the middle of nowhere and have major mechanical problems. Be for you wander too far, have someone knowledgeable go from one end to the other making sure everything is safe and functional. Other than that, I still want to make my own RV and I'm over 70.

@susanbeals7597 2 года назад

I've seen short cabinets for the toilet, that open in front AND on top, and latch open with magnets. Then screw up a round or oval shower curtain rod above, and install a hand held shower head, put in a shower pan and drain below, with a teak slatted floor that the toilet sits on, on a slide out. Slide the toilet out, into the walking space, and voila... you now can step into a shower!

@susanbeals7597 2 года назад

Installation of your toilet/shower cabinet can go under where that extra mattress space would be, with the lifting top providing the support for that extra piece of mattress. Add another 1/2 high storage cabinet on the opposite side of the corridor, with a pull out shelf for mattress support when needed, and open shelving up high above it.

You are so fortunate to have had a workshop and someone to mentor you. If I ever won the lottery, I'd set up around the country - community workshops for people to do this and have people to help guide them on how to make things. Whether its that darling sofa table or an entire skoolie build - making your own things is a lost art. And schools need to get back into Industrial Arts classes - have group projects of tiny homes for the local homeless - work with the city on setting things up. There's a school in San Antonio that has done a fantastic job building different houses and then auctioning them off in order to fund the next years' projects. Kids that don't want to go to college - yes, there's a LOT of them - NEED to have this learning available to them.

The insulated curtains are worth every penny. Your bed looks heavenly calm amd peaceful. You have achieved such a journey. Forced into it but well worth the pain and learning. It reflects everything you love and enjoy.

I really enjoys listening to her, she grabbed life by the balls and said NO FEAR, This is my life and I choose to live how I want. Good for her.

Talking about your rabbits "They didn't choose the tiny life, I did"😂 Would love for you to introduce us to your Mom. Bless you and her for showing us gals, what we are capable of. You are both pure inspiration. Thank you

This is beautiful and she seems like such a great woman. Love her outlook and I’m also a bunny lady. Have 3 myself! So cool to see what she did for them. I love how she decorated and made it feel so cozy and homey. I just never know how people can do this without a bathroom. I could never. For times when you don’t feel well, or just want to shower privately. I would have to have a bathroom. I’ve been planning to do this now for 7 months and I’m getting all my ideas and research from RU-vid and Reddit. She has given me tons of inspiration!

I just purchased a 32', 1992 International 3800 School Bus, and I have a composting toilet which is great, and a shower, sink, and a LG washer & dryer combo. I'm literally in the middle of the build, so of these I've only used the toilet & sink so far. Shower is fully functional, but as I moved my things on the bus, the shower got filled up pretty quickly, so I've showered at a friend's house. And the w&d just needs the wiring connected, so today I will be going to a laundry mat for the first time in many years lol Good luck in your research. Keep in mind, you'll end up doing more, changing things, etc once you buy your bus. Christina & The Animal Love Fest 😽😽😽😽🐺🐰💋

I also love how she accommodated her bunnies!

@kayleeguy5471 3 года назад

One could totally add a shower/toilet/sink area..just might need a bit longer bus and I think 19' is the size or length to be able to park anywhere?

Sandra Westley from the UK we have caravanned for years in the UK over 40 and all over Europe and vans did not come with showers at all in those days, we purchased a weed sprayer put a towel on the floor stand in a bowl, the spray yourself down, the other innovations we had was a ring round your neck, you fill a large container with warm water pop the foot pump in, and pump away, you had your shower. But these days nearly all sites have showers so it’s not essential to fit them into tiny homes.

Where in Florida? I’m in Orlando and I’ve done one year van life but I’m contemplating skoolie life. Your build is beautiful and you and your mom must be so proud! Women power indeed!
