Hey Guys!!! I'm a San Jose State Grad and guess what??? I used to DRIVE 304!!!!!! I am so glad you guys bought it and turned it into a lovely home! You're living my dream!!!! Enjoy the heck out of her! She was a good bus!

@MobileDwellings 9 месяцев назад

Wow that is so rad! I shared this with Sam and Katy and they are very excited to hear that. It's kind of wild to think about the lives these buses had before we converted them and the dozens of people who drove them and thousands who rode in them! It's so cool to hear that you drove this bus and you're right it's a great bus. When are you building yours?!

@busmaniacandy 9 месяцев назад

Yeah! What a small world! I drove buses while going to school and ended up with a 14year career before doing something different! Was just helping a friend of mine with his Prevost on Monday! Working on the wife but I’m going to do an MCI or PD4106 for more room! Every bus has a story!!!!

@americanrambler4972 2 года назад

Overall, a nice layout for your bus. Well thought out and executed. I like your portal passage way doors. Not a fan of your toilet choice however. But I am old and cranky. Your choice of using a shorter pusher bus was genius and a very good choice. Much better maneuverability and you can access many more parking areas and tighter streets and parking lot driveways. Looks like your still sorting out your mini split heat/cooling system. It will be interesting to see what you like and don’t like after a year or two and what future changes you will be making with your lessons learned and experiences.

@SkipSpotter Год назад

If there is a Skoolie build ranking, this has got to be in the Top 2. It's refined, fresh and uncluttered, has great incorporated design ideas, while continuing to be minimalist with a modern feel. Both Thumbs Up!

@mohork 2 года назад

Have you got a negative and positive cable connected to your batteries from the engine block to power up your batteries with an isolator switch relay in it. This helps when your bus batteries need a starting boost if it goes flat. Just switch your isolator on and the bus battery will have power when starting the engine. Also do you have solar too. Plus having the isolator helps recharge your batteries in-house for extra power, especially for those low sunlight days.

It's different in every state but in SC if your vehicle is under 26,000 gvwr no special license required. Over that weight and you need a class E.

@WomanUnfiltered 11 месяцев назад

It's funny that building a bus to avoid natural disasters when possible was what popped into your head. I live on the Georgia coast & every hurricane season, it's batten down the hatches & go where it's safe. I started thinking of going tiny & mobile, when my last child was in his 2nd year of college. I spent time checking out all of the options but decided a 40' activity bus was what I'd need. I knew I wanted to be off grid capable, but I also knew being a traveling crafter of most woodworking items, I'd need more space for tools & reclaimed wood. So I started reading and watching all the bus builds, collecting ideas. Next year my house goes on the market, the bus gets bought & the build will begin. 😊

Millenials know how to build some stuff!! This one turned out pretty amazing, Justin. Considering you were a firefighter a couple years ago and didn't really know what you were doing, to now having built two buses, way to go. I think you have this bus building thing pretty well down at this point. Thanks for all the great build vids. What's the next build going to be???

@MobileDwellings 2 года назад

Glad you appreciate them. I am actually quite proud of this bus. It turned out really tight! As for the next build...I don't have anything in the works yet but we'll be settling back into our home soon and transitioning Nova into kindergarten. I want to build something...I've got a lot of ideas of course!

Firefighters are some of the best builders, electricians, and trades people out there so that’s not surprising at all how nice the bus build turned out. It looks like he’s built 50 buses so far as nice as this one turned out so hopefully he keeps building!! We need good builders like Justin! Can’t wait to see what he does next!!

@timothymallon 2 года назад

Just a thought, you're probably going to want a different hitch setup for your car. Something that lifts it off the ground, because every mile you tow it, that's one less mile you have on your car tires and you'll rack up miles on the odometer as well. Maybe a small flatbed for the car.

PLEASE READ THIS! I watched your video, and that drawer underneath your oven is not for storage, but a warming place to keep your food warm. Please, remove the matches, batteries, and other flammable items, and store them somewhere else. I know it doesn't seem dangerous, but it only takes 1 time. Dumb people who fuel their cars, and smoke, arr asking for serious trouble. I'm sure there's another drawer some where.. You both seem to be nice young couple, God Bless, and please listen. It only takes...once.

@justindadswell8610 2 года назад

This might sound sort of odd, but you guys did something that is almost unheard of. During the entire video both of you used "we" when describing things (for the most part, when you talk about your work station of you course you say "I" and they both did it). Normally, in these videos there is one partner that says we and the other almost exclusively uses I. Which speaks of a dysfunctional partnership (it would at least be a marker someone trained in psychology would look for in a dysfunctional relationship). The fact you both say "we", primarily; is nice. This is the first of your videos I have watched, hope that trend continues. Want one bus life family that doesn't irritate me:)

@superdude1759 7 месяцев назад

I love your bus conversion! I from San Jose so I'm very familiar with San Jose State! I noticed that your knives on the magnetic holder. I had mine on a magnet for years. I see you have the Victorinox 8 inch chefs knife, I have the same one! Just a little tip: it's safer to keep the blade points down and edges away (which you've done) in case you ever fall toward the knives. You will automatically without thinking throw your hands toward the wall so best not to have the points up! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
