VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Not all rigs have to be built for full time travel. This family built this awesome DIY shuttle bus conversion to explore during the down times in their city. For some, being close to friends and family is more important than hitting the road, and I totally understand that. Regardless if you are building for full time or part time, this tour video has a ton of great info!

Not everyone that builds a tiny house wants to travel full time. This couple converted a shuttle bus for family adventures. Is fulltime something you are considering or looking to adventure from time to time?

@andyjulia 4 года назад

I would love to workcamp for a few years, and the shuttle bus would be the right size for me. If only I had the carpentry skills.

@offgriddesign2484 4 года назад

Andjulia, maybe find someone that does and pay them. I’m looking to help others accomplish their mobile architecture dreams. Good luck.

Traveling is great for kids. My father was in the military an we traveled all the time. It makes kids independent. I was 15 an traveling in a foreign country on buses an trains by myself or with friends. It was fun.

@germanevision 4 года назад

The absence of a wet bath has saved so much space and the interiors are bright and expansive. Now convert the doorway space of 3x3 feet into a convertible bathroom with used water running out from under the door. You will also get privacy for toilet while not having to spare any space for the bathroom. Beautiful layout.

@tinabost4748 4 года назад

Germane Vision , I can’t quite picture that. Also, the used water would need to go to a grey tank.

@germanevision 4 года назад

@@tinabost4748 It's not complicated. The doorway and bathroom are two spaces which cannot be used for storage. And you cannot design the interiors without them. So use the doorway of 3'x3' (or bigger as you wish) as convertible bathroom. Make the walls of the bathroom with collapsible material and not permanent structures so that the bathroom does not disturb the openness of the interiors. Pull the walls of the bathroom only when you need to use it. If you use water only during boondocking along with appropriate natural soaps then it will be like an outdoor shower and you can take a shower without clothes.

Skyler is obviously crazy talented!! I love his design of this bus! This is exactly the size bus I want to eventually own. I can guarantee you I'm saving your contact information and I will by using your talents to design my bus in about 2 years. It will definitely look a lot like yours layout wise - minus the tiny human needs. 😁👍🏼 It will definitely require furry family needs though. 🐶🐱🐱 Anyway this is a great bus 🚌 and looks really amazing. Very pretty inside! 👩🏻‍🎨💛🤍👍🏼👍🏼

@cabinlifeatedensprings1710 3 года назад

I love that you are teaching your son on the road. I think road schools kids are the smartest. My children are grown but I think if this lifestyle had been popular we would have done it. I took my daughters on trips when they were young and it was always a learning experience. For a while I was a single mom. I should have considered this as an option but it just was not on my radar. Now my husband and I would like to travel some. Looking to convert a bus or van into our road home. We want to visit our daughter in Florida and take our dogs with us, getting out there soon hopefully. Y’all talking care be safe and well! Leslye

@jazzieash87 3 года назад

Yes, road school is an incredible option and it seems like there are a ton more options for schools now that many people are forced to do remote learning with COVID. I'm eager to see new companies create new ways to educate our children as a result of the pandemic! :) Thanks for the sweet comment.

@CMV314 Год назад

Road school kids are robbed of important socialization opportunities. No classmates or neighbors to befriend. These are important to a child's development.

This bus is really well done but would be amazing if they had included a shower/toilet cubicle. Being a boater/caravaner I'm used to compact spaces and they've always fitted in a shower/toilet. With bad weather and children you need this.

Where do you shower???? Toilet has zero privacy otherwise it’s a good layout

@charvicreation5284 4 года назад

Yaaa...

@MR-xf8xg 4 года назад

Seldom do the toilets have privacy unless they have shower big enough to sit in. Some people explain how it works for them. He says They only use it for #1. Many van lifers use gyms to shower. Many gyms allowed kids or they could take turns while one of them stay with the child in the bus.

@MR-xf8xg 4 года назад

How come no one ever asks how the couple has privacy for intimacy? The child's bed is right over theirs. Is he expected to sleep through it?

@suedesignable 4 года назад

It’s all weird. I wouldn’t want to be using a public gym for showers and a place to go potty. Nope. And kids??? When they gotta go they gotta go. This is not for everyone.

@brokerhc 3 года назад

Too many people nowadays built these incredible shuttle bus or ambulance conversions in many creative ways and they appear to be allergic to plumbing. This bus could use a better freshwater tank, a gray water tank, a shower and an enclosed toilet that could be located with the shower enclosure. I would put the shower/toilet enclosure right where the side door is. I would remove the folding doors on the passenger side, level the steps to the bus floor and use the side door (if it fits) as the new passenger door with a folding ladder. I would replace the side door with a panel and a smaller window for the shower. I would put the nice jump seat at the front.
