Totally Custom Skoolie Built With Used Materials - Roof Deck & Custom Paint
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- When friends and family ask about buying a bus I ALWAYS suggest they purchased a used or half built bus. There are tons of people that get all caught up on Insta pictures of finished skoolies and think it will be easy. Give it 2 or 3 or even 7 months and all of the sudden they tap out. This is where guys like Ray come in, purchase a bus for pennies on the dollar, and builds his own project.

Ray is THE bus dude! A perfect balance of fantasy & reality in his builds- I want him to have his own conversion business! He’s an endless supply of smart tips, realistic advice, PMA, & willingness to learn by trial & error. I love his creativity, his spirit, his work ethic, not to mention the nods & respect he gives to his wife ... he could host anything & make me feel good about it. Keep it up, Ray! 🌈🌞
I absolutely agree! So much practical budget-conscious information and down to earth advice.
Ginny Stigma do you have his contact information?

I just saw this comment and thank you! Makes me feel 👍
He is so proud of his buses and it’s honestly the cutest thing ever. He seems so nice and his buses are so beautiful ❤️
I absolutely LOVE your enthusiasm!! Your passion has me in tears of JOY!!! I have decided to live in a bus because I can no longer afford living tiny home living anymore. Winterizing is essential!!
I absolutely love when owners paint the outside of their buses....the outside should be as unique at the inside!
When I’m older and if I get one, I’m gonna paint the outside pink, the hood black, and do a bunch of hippie style doodles on the outside
I agree but my painting skills are still that of a 2 year old😂
Technically the buses have to be painted, they are not suppose to be left with the yellow and the School signs. Most people are just to lazy to finish
FINALLY!! A REAL deck that I'm not terrified of, Lol! This entire thing is a beauty. Thanks so much for sharing :)
I feel the same. I watch so many of these videos where there is no railing on the rooftop deck and I'm just like nope, no way, not happening. I'm clumsy and I'm quite certain I'd fall off and break my neck. I REALLY appreciate the railings.
Ray needs to have a channel ” Keep it simple and clean with w Ray!” ❤️
Susan Mathis That’s a great idea!
Ray's love of buses is contagious. His builds are always creative and festive. I love the metal ceiling. If I could drive something this big, I would definitely be getting in touch with him about this one.

I learned so dam much from this guy. I am a garbage picker, as well as a garage sale enthusiast, and it's ingenuity I think that I admire the most. He really loses weight applying laminate flooring to the walls. Jeez, dude. Thanks.
You are so great to share everything you do, how to save money, etc. I'm one of those who wants to travel around in a bus but we physically can't convert one so my husband isn't interested (we've both had multiple spine surgeries). I live vicariously through you and others like you. The only negative, now after watching this video I want a bus again! Thanks again for all you share!
Hi Ray! Looks like you've hit another homer. I love the build and the honesy and advice in this presentation. I am starting a second build after 15 years in my first Skoolie. The old 1978 Blue Bird (a 35 foot Transit) is still a good running old bus, but modern turns are calling me. I am hankering to get a newer suspension and quieter drive train and power system. So at 70 years old I embark on another ground up project. Your solid advise aboute scheduleing and comitment are inspiring and I love that your spouse is a close consultant. Keep up the good work and commitment.
Eye usually don't enjoy long winded people but every last drop of what he spoke was interesting and valuable. Thank him for me!
Thank You! This is the type of "budget" build that I've been searching for! I just bought my bus but I don't have $20-30K to build it out. Love this theme.
This guy should sell his builds. I'd pay extra for his labor. I like his thinking on most of these: what you need to enjoy a trip or the ability to customize it later. Very smart! I don't know if you're still checking this video, but I'd would be interested in a custom build. This one is larger than we need.
Thanks! Very cool
This could also be a great way to provide homes for people who don't have much money. They would have a roof to sleep under, and living off-grid is much more affordable since tiny spaces and vehicles cost a lot less to keep and maintain.
Love the murals! You gave great info for folks interested in Skoolies. One thing, I never want folks to have to enter the bathroom through my bedroom.
Feel like I'm getting an advanced education in bus building. Well Done, Thank You.
The vinyl floor backslash wow beautiful
The $10.00 sink. Wow what a blessing ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️
My kind of peeps, chill and honest, so I can relax. Thanks for tour of ! Painter did a great job on the mural! Thank you for pointing out all thae ideas and tips.Tell whoever buys it to have Tiny Home Tours put it up for us to see if it's changed much. For the heavy back window, I'd check into the hydraulic arms so it opens with ease and handles the weight easily. Happy travels🚌
This guy and his wife is cool. Takes guts to do this and they did a terrific job!
Outstanding work ! Love the Hawaiian theme thank you @tinyhometours for allowing us to see all the different tiny homes I’m grateful for you Jenna thank you
What a wonderful deck. It's easy to picture yourself enjoying a nice cold one at the end of the day watching a sun set.
Brilliant half window solution 🤗
I love the kitchen table set his wife picked out. I would have the bottom of the storage stools painted to match outside of bus and do a subtle green epoxy on top table.
You sir have a great attitude !!! I like the way you always bring into the story about your wife not wanting parts.
Your Bus look's great. Like what you did with your bus. Look's fantastic . The ceiling is very Retro Love Retro.... Love the way you use just the bottom of the window's.....Love your work. Your a great guy....Thank You for taking the tour time!
This guy’s the best. He’s got a big heart wanting to put in all this extra work for people. Hell, he’s got a full time job and still able to do this! Amazing!
I’d buy it if I could but unfortunately I still have no job that can travel with me. What a nice bus, though!
This the best, EVERYONE else builds the 4 year hallway with a king bed. This is VERY close to what I want to do.
Love it, My dad made a bus 45 years ago , listen to John Denver on 8track going down the road. He was an amazing man.. ..Enjoy, whoever buys it !!!!😆
You doing a "Great Job" on these buses have you ever thought about, doing it fulltime. Nice work.
You seem to keep your yard and projects neat and clean so I agree w u. I bet your neighbors do love you.
We agree an extra level of hight on the deck is a good idea.
The deck lights... Awesome
Great pace! Informative and passionate but not TMI and slow. Fun guy.
I love the floor plan. Nice to have the bath face the back. Having the L Shape kitchen looks much more homey and house like. Great finds. That dresser idea is clever for sure! Looking for bus. Drove one for 32 yrs so I'll feel so at home. Good advice on tires. Also, always carry extra oil, steering fluid, antifreeze etc. Know the cost of towing too.
I could listen to him all day. And i love repurposing things too
Hey big guy, I hope you and your family are as happy and healthy as you all can be. You are a true Imagineer when it comes building. I would love to get the information about you, to work with you to build a bus for me!! :-) Very exciting possibilities. Great stuff! I look forward to seeing all your future artistic bus home creations. Good luck.
Beautiful paint job and I love the sun deck for the lounger lizards 😎🦎🐚🌊
You need to add a pretty hammock and a hammock chair!!! And IKEA has the easy bamboo window shades and they look cool and can be trimmed to size and are not expensive. It just goes with the tiki vibe. Also, your fake rock on the wall should be your fake heater or wood stove :) and maybe even some more larger palms even if fake and minimalist lighting with led bulbs that up shine into them and shed the leaf pattern onto the tin roof. Basically I love what you have done. Also, if you do upholster your “bar” seats (which can actually be the dining area or even the office area) use Reyna Spooner shirts. (Very collectible and notable vibe). The furniture you should be looking for should be “mid century modern” and there’s a lot of teak stuff with clean lines and often made of teak that could be added for storage.
This guy is so cool. He's took him time giving us so much details.
I just love his passion for finds and buses....he would be great having his own show on bus renovations step by step.
Love you roof deck and mural on the bus. One of the best roof decks i've seen. The Bamboo on the walls looks unique.
Gorgeous skoolie bus 🚌🚌🚌🚐🚌.... The outside art work is priceless, hope the inside 💠 rocks the House, let's check it out. Lol 😆
Oh wow, would love to see an interview with the mural painter and a time lapse of the painting! @Tiny home tours
As soon as I saw the bus I thought ..Same artist did this one and I was right ..I like the layout in this one feels a little more open ,but I would have to paint the ceiling a Matt white or have to wear sunglasses in there as it was a bit too shiny ..but I loved it apart from the shine..I love seeing the busses personalised I think it makes them stand out and gives them much more interest 😀
If I saw that I might mistaken it for a gorgeous beach... I might just run into it and hurt myself 😂
I absolutely love the exterior.
Nice. I love the front storage, the roof and window ledges. I live the bedroom area with walking space beside the bed
The bus bar!!! How fun 😎
WOW, love this bus tiny home/apartment on wheels! The sink is my fave part - a double stainless steel - the best, and covers for food prep. NICE!!! If I were to do a bus build I would be using many of your great ideas! Thank you for sharing. G-d bless!
You make this seem so easy & fun!! I love your enthusiasm enthusiasm!
the beach theme will fit perfect in florida. my favorite part was the paint and the use of bamboo on the walls. this bus is my new favorite. the only thing i would change is the metal roof. i would put white washed wood to give it more of a beach fell to the inside. awesome video. can't wait to watch your next video.
Thanks for tagging along bud.
@@TinyHomeTours you are welcome
I loved the galvanized corrugated metal. It was easy, practical and I liked the defection of light and perspective it offers architecturally.
Paint job is the bomb. You can always cut in and add more windows.
@@dananelson5244 I argree with you.
This guy is so chill and awesome. Love this bus!
A bus that is a total bar....front to back!!! For 😎events!!!
Eeeeekkkkk u could rent that baby out. 🏆
What a beautiful paint job, I love the patio up top too, it's amazing.
I love the cup idea for the legs of a couch, n that way I can change it out later if I want.
Nice work ethic,a little at a time. I love that idea of a welcome mat used on the sides of the stairwell.Beautiful job on the bus.
The bus looks great!! I feel bad because he had so many ideas, but his wife wasn’t having it.....LOL!!!! I love it!! I’m glad you listened to her because she was right....LOL!!! I’m new to watching this kind of living and find it fascinating!!! Great job again!! I enjoyed learning new things and watching!!
I love your bus that ceiling is beautiful . That was good thinking.
The paint job outside your home is great.
I love the theme! My first thought when seen picture of bus was Oahu so I had to watch. Fantastic. Reminds me of places I went to when lived on the island. Great job!
You have a natural talent for doing this, I'd luv to see what you would do with one of the tiny houses!
Ray could easily make a career of consulting alone... the Conversion Guru 🙌🏻
Yo Ray!!! You hear that?
That’s the name of your new YT channel & consulting business... Conversion Guru!
Oops let me finish ....I love your couch. I love that it's not a homemade box couch. It's lovely.
So you've basically created the ultimate party bus. The only thing missing is the margaritas 🍹
What an awesome bus! So Love It. When its done a person could live in it. Just great!
Genius making the most of what you find ! WHY did your wife let you put that bed flat against the wall ? It appears it will be hard to make the bed, I really didn't think you could out do the craftsman ship of your previous bus, but you live and learn and it shows !! Fantastic job. Thank you for sharing.
I'm thankful he runs things past his wife first!!! Lol. She seems like a very wise woman.
Nice bus, Beach Cricket would love this bus
I Just Luv You! Your So Cool . I live in Western New York. I’m 61 and Luve In an Apartment. I m Retired from Construction Heavy Highway. So I’ve Been looking on UA-cam just Recently. Your Someone who afforded a lot of Information. Love your Bus & Ideas. Smart Man. Have a Wonderful Xmas you & Your Wife. Thank you so much 😊
Love this bus...Someday...
I loooove this paint job so much, I would definitely live in that ❤
I love this, I need to research it. I love that the inside is finished out but flexiable. I just want a weekender, get out and enjoy life bus
Ray’s buses are the best!
The beach theme is not my personal style (I am more of a mountain trails kind of gal) but he has such a laid-back, super practical approach to his choice of design and materials. Who can’t be impressed?
Ray ... let’s see what you can do with a short bus or ⅔ length!
And are you in the Phoenix area? I would love an in person tour when w cost my kids in Gilbert come Feb. hint hint 👍🏼
Wow, love the entire bus. The painting is incredibly beautiful!!!! I am an older lady and I'm thinking about a small a very small trailer, mainly because I own an 4 wheeled drive Element. Love to have a bus....but. Love your idea about the sticky tile. Love to be off grid just to see if I can.... Thx you for great vid., and INFO on the cost of storing it. Blessing to you & yours.
Love how unique this is.
The Muriel is stunning & the roof deck is ideal.
This guy is awesome!
Could use a mineral or chalk paint for the ceiling in the bus to soften the look.
Love the bus always going to be one never could afford one I showed it to my husband he really liked it
I like what you have done with the bus i am really want to get a bus soon and convert it myself
Same
I love your buses art work it beautiful, Thank you for sharing your beautiful bus
I'd love to have some coffee on that deck, whilst the bus is doing 70 down the interstate, talk about a RUSH!!!!!🤣 So well done, especially love the mural exterior!!!
Really enjoyed this video alot...sooo many things I liked about it 😊 I'm really into finding different ways to use things other than what it was meant for 👍 Ohhh...and the mural is perfect 😍

Omg 😮 I think I like this one (once done) I can just picture it!!!! A little more then the last one!!! But both are stunning
Absolutely Love this Bus Conversion. The Bar is really nice. The Hawaiian Theme 🌴 is so Cool.
One video I haven't seen for Bus Conversions is what and where to put connections to be compatible with RV Parks. What side and location of the bus to put water, power, propane, waste, etc., connections? What Type of Connectors? What lengths? Male or Female connectors? What is the standard package so you are compatible from the start?
Awesome bus love what you did to it must be very much fun to travel in . Thank you for sharing love your top DECK that was very clever. ENJOY YOU TRAVELING BUS .
Gosh I miss the aqua umbrellas
I love the bedroom and the bathroom I love how you put the bed and then there's the dresser at the end I mean I love that part that is a nice part and the deck
👏🏼👏🏼 Excellent I’m Absolutely in awe of the work and Especially the Bargains and Deals!!!!!! You Explain Everything In An Awesome Way 👍🏼👍🏼 Thank You for Sharing!!!!!! Do you still have this bus 🚎

Now I like to Thank you, for so much useful information.
WOW......THIS GUY IS GREAT!....GARAGE SALES , OH YEAH!
Wow great job can't wait to c the rest of the finished skoolie ty for the info
This is stunning!! Great job. I have been looking for someone to paint my Van.
I’m dying to see his smaller bus!!! I don’t care for the ceiling. What else if wood is too hard? Maybe fabric? Or like a cool tapestry? And that heater - doesn’t that block your visibility? I think he should use that peel and stick Paneling for the shower walls yes?
ive watched this and your other video of the other bus,,several times,,by far your buses are the best on the net..envy ya..hope soon i can start mine ..
The ceiling is giving me tunnel vision and makes the space seen so dark and small.
I love your buses love your work they are so so cool. You are cool, amazing! lucky wife😘
Love, love, love this bus!!!
what a beautiful bus!
