YES, there is a portable induction cook top for cooking and as far as the toilet goes, I had made a custom one for me, but used to several times so I chose not to include it, since I didn’t think a buyer would want a custom used toilet. The buyer can purchase any composting or cassette toilet of their personal choosing to place in the shower area🙂
I have watched so many of these van conversions. This is the only one that I felt like commenting on.... solid 10. Beautiful and efficient. I absolutely love it.
I always thought that Shuttle Buses were the best vehicles to convert to Van life. They have tall ceilings, dual air conditioners usually built in and so much more practical space inside. This is the first UA-cam channel and video that i've seen that showcased this conversion. If i decide to go into that lifestyle i would so love to hire you to do the conversion. Awesome job!
Thanks for the kind words and insights! I thought the same thing. I spent a long time researching the best possible vehicle to use from shuttle buses, skoolies, cargo vans, sprinters, pro masters, ambulances, etc. and the shuttle bus I thought was the best choice. Plenty of head space, I’m 6’2 even after 1.5” of floor insulation and 2.5” of roof insulation and 1” of ceiling wood and material. You don’t feel crammed like in a van, two people can move around easily. If I were to do another conversion of this size I’d choose a shuttle bus again absolutely no regrets on that decision
As a female this is what I see. I like the toilet, inside the shower space, that can slide under the sitting bench and be out of the way when showering. So flipping the kitchen to the other side would work and could provide additional flip up counter space. Personally I prefer a separate fridge and freezer. Those little hotel room styles don't work worth a pop for the freezer part. I'd add a slide out pantry where the laptops go and use the lower section as hanging closet area. I love the soft colors and textiles.
Interesting point of view! Toilet sliding under a bench would have been nice and I considered it initially. The problem came down to fitting all the plumbing for the outdoor shower and the diesel heater. If I sacrificed a bench area for that, I’d be more limited with where I could put those. Bench seat vs dinette is a preference for sure. I wanted an area to work at with a table facing a partner which is why I did that style instead of a bench seat. I didn’t think of that flip up countertop on the other side, that would have worked. Fridge is preference I guess and in theory a slide out pantry can be put into the top laptop cabinet still and the lower end still used as a hanging closet with a pull out. All good ideas for sure. It’s always interesting to hear other people’s preferences if they built one. It’s crazy how different we all are and what we’re looking for can change so much from person to person, I love it!
@@60clow Thanks, I appreciate it :) Details are in the listing which is in the description and if you want to reach out to me through there, I can give you more details if you're interested in potentially purchasing the bus!
HOLY SHIT dude this is phenomenal. Ive always thought a shuttle bus would be the way to go for a conversion base. We travel in a small Class C. If I was going to upgrade anywhere it would be a larger refrigerator/freezer. We drop our dinette to make a couch w storage below and have a lagun style table. I can see how this would be perfect for one person w dog. Best conversion Ive seen in a few years.
Usually, the upper cabinets on both sides make things look smaller, narrow, and less open. I like how you've managed to have the cabinets on both sides, and the space still looks spacious, wide, and open.
That's a good suggestion. But with the way the windows open, it's tough to figure out how to do that and create a weathered seal at the same time. Plus, I like to keep the windows closed anyways and enjoy the AC :)
I promise you I wish that you would redesign the break rooms for every workplace! Have you ever considered just taking pics of places, building a portfolio using your aesthetic, and pitching your solutions to others? A break room with the Asian style sleeping pod system and all of your upgrades would be the absolute shyt! Just a thought.
I have a 2011 ford e350 which I am converting however yours is amazing! Very creative and beautifully designed and every space is so functional. You have done a fantastic job! 😊
@@filomenaregan1537 Nice!!! I appreciate the kind words and nice feedback. Best of luck on yours! Hopefully I was able to inspire you or give you some ideas from mine. I know I watched a lot of other people’s builds for inspiration🤓
Wow, top of your list?! Thanks so much❤️ Santa really worked hard on this one. I had to fire a bunch of elves that were trying to turn it into a toy train. But in the end it all worked out. *HO HO HO* Merry Christmas!🎅🔔🎄🍪
I once saw a shower placed at the entrance (where you put shoes) but it was pushed flat when not using it, then opened when needed. kinda smart so more room for kitchen area; tall frig,micro,cook top or counterspace
Yeah that’s not a bad idea and I considered a collapsible shower at one point, but plumbing is more of a challenge and I wanted something stable and secure and something that had solid walls I could lean on. It comes down to preference at the end of the day, but I agree more countertop space would be nice, but I think there’s plenty of space for cooking. There is a portable induction cooktop that goes on top also, I forgot to include it in the video
I was certainly impressed by all the extras and the phenomenal quality of the workmanship. But no microwave, no oven? You mention a portable cooktop in your comments, so that's good, but with all the bells and whistles in the design it's a shame that the kitchen feels incomplete. The van conversion, otherwise, is lovely.
Thanks! I considered both an oven and microwave, but a microwave in general is very inefficient for off grid living and there was no kitchen space for a proper oven unfortunately. But a toaster oven may be a good alternative
lovely conversion, id like to know the motor thats running it and a bit more practical /mechanical info.bumper to bumper length...love the care to detail and function!
Thanks! You can always do a vin lookup to see the type of engine in it and the bus dimensions are on the listing in the description. Runs beautifully though, no mechanical issues!
You’ve done a wonderful conversion. I can see the high-quality and care. The only downside is no sofa or chair to sit down in congratulations on a job well done. Looks like you’re close to Hampton Beach. Nashua here.
@@kingdavidcoffee Thanks! I put alot of care to ensure that it’s comfortable. There are two dinette seats for sitting, but yes no sofa. Yeah, I’m at the wall at Hampton Beach😎
Hmmm… Pricing up front would be a plus… I am working on my own as I travel, as a realtor I am always interested in what others do & never know, could opt for a reboot 😉 Hope you’ll find your person who would fit your van/transport vehicle 🥰 ✌️💜🕯️
Thanks❤️ and that’s a great question and hasn’t been asked yet! I bought the BCPA10, which is the 10 inch model. I have no complaints about it, it’s a big screen and works great😎
❤🎉❤ No doubt a fenomenal job, well done! 🎉 I also that everything was beautufied, the corners, the opened storage spaces had a bit of a background to make it look prettier & as a girly girl I appreciate it! The details, the passion, the careful consederatiin, very nicely done. Didn't see a toilet, but i watch this in fast track or i eould nkt watch any... 😂 Price? The faster you put it out there, the faster it seels. Some people like me, won't call to find out more; unless we know it's affordable ... ❤ Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it! The toilet goes in the shower, not included here but can be purchased. The price and all the details of the bus are in the for sale listing in the description😎
I made a composting toilet but didn’t include it because I used it several times and thought people wouldn’t want a used toilet😆 so the buyer can purchase their own composting toilet if their choice and preference. Toilets are typically a really personal thing for people, so now they can choose. I can make recommendations. When I planned on living in it myself my plan was to get a wireless simply safe system with 360 cameras, “porch” sensor flood light at the door and indoor cameras and glass break sensors for inside. The doors are electronically locked, but yeah in theory someone might be able to break or pry them. You could add a lock to the door, I’ve seen other skoolies have them
@@kmb9144 If you look at 90% of bus and van conversions, you won’t get a full bathroom with a bathroom sink. You have to get used to composting toilets and kitchen sink for your only sink. If you’re looking for a full bathroom set up, then a traditional RV would probably be best for you
First outside outlet, can it be turned off so that randos can't steal electricity? Also, can it short out when driving in a rainstorm? Glass bus doors are nice but I would also like an interior door that can be closed for privacy and security.
@@janicenovak1972 I don’t think an outlet is capable of being turned off lol. In the event of a rainstorm, its possible it can short yes, but not a big deal, you just let it dry and then hit the reset button on the plug and it’s back to life! Yeah, originally I was going to replace the door with a house door but due to the cost, I decided not to. Additional locks could be retrofitted though for additional security. By default it’s electronically and mechanically locked though
the second i saw over spray from the "raptor" liner all over the propane tank and hou it was wrapped around the back side the hinged door i was like nope i'm all set not a terrible job but not type quality build id exspect from a builder who takes serious pride in there work this feels like quick money grab build made me feel like a regular rv
Well, I am only human after all lol. If the only bad thing you have to say is a little overspray that ends up protecting the tank anyways that you’ll only look at maybe twice a year to fill, I’m okay with that. Seems like a compliment to me! Plus, I’m not a builder flipping this for a quick buck. I actually built this thing for myself over the past 2 years with no intention to ever sell and use myself full time on the road. But circumstances in life change, so I’m selling my baby now. Don’t be so quick to judge🙃
Looks great but my main concern with these busses would be security with all those large windows and even the glass door. Seems like a piece of cake to break in and take everything.
A valid concern. The main door can be reenforced with an additional lock, but the doors are electronically locked by default. Most of the windows are too high up and either blocked by a wall or not easily accessible. Comes down to personal preference with these conversions. It’s always interesting to hear what priorities you have over me or others
My original plan was to have the toilet slide through a door like you see on other conversions, but at the end of the day, the fear of water leaking in the shower area around that door was enough to scare me from doing that lol
@@luv2jazz seemed a bit tacky, but also prices change, so I didn’t want to pigeon hold myself to one price and not be able to change it in the video later
Great question. In short, over the course of 2 years life happens and priorities change and new paths were opened up to me, so I’m going to be chasing those paths. I designed this never to sell but for me to live in full time, so letting go of my baby is a tough thing to do..
I did design and build a composting toilet to put in the shower area, but it’s not part of the bus for sale, since I did use it a few times and who wants to buy a used composting toilet😂 I figure the new owner will pick the toilet of their choosing to include since that is a very personal item
Thanks! There’s a portable induction cooktop you take out and put away when you’re done. And yeah, that’s one of the drawbacks is only one seat. I didn’t want to put a seat belt on one of the benches. It wouldn’t be safe and meet highway standards so I opted not to🤓
Yeah, if security is a high priority for you, then maybe this isn't the ultimate option. It could always be replaced with a house door or something though
This is a very nice build I would just need to figure out which toilet to get. The TV would have to be moved because I could see myself accidentally kicking the Tv while sleeping.
@@tootsietoes6588Thanks, I appreciate it! I did put a lot of hard living work into it to make it as comfortable and “homey” as possible. No rentals unfortunately, although I did consider that at one point!
Propane gas and diesel, really an aqua hot System could have replaced so much and saved you space. Looks more instagram ready then living friendly. Solar solar solar solar, storage storage storage. I kinda feel like this rig misses the point of van life but is more for the I use it a few times a year crowd.
Well 800 watts of residential grade solar (higher efficiency than standard renogy panels you often see), 600ah battery bank with 12v dometic AC and diesel heater with 5 gallon fuel tank, 75 gallons of fresh water, shower and 20 gallon gray water tank says otherwise, which is more than most of the other sprinter and pro master builds you see. 12lb propane tanks runs the hot water heater and everything else is electric and safer that way. If you can suggest better solutions for full time four season off grid living than that, I'm all ears :)
The price was originally $80,000, but I recently dropped it to $70,000 since we’re going into the winter months. You can see the listing in the description :)
@@janiceapilando-kam5884 No toilet, the buyer can purchase a compost or cassette toilet of their choosing. I made one, but used it and didn’t want to include a used toilet
In the van/bus conversion life, at this size I’ve never seen any conversion with a proper bathroom. Most don’t even have a shower! So a composting toilet in the shower is the best that’s possible. Some sacrifices need to inevitably be made on the road😆
@@Cecelia-u1j Portable induction cooktop that I failed to mention in the video along with the toilet and it’s been a big mistake because that’s what everyone is asking in the comments😆
It's not in Winthrop, but I filmed this at North Hampton Beach in NH, I'm in southern NH. I'm not converting retail or custom rigs, but if you have a rig or thinking about getting one, we can talk and see how I can help or at the very least give you some advice from what I learned building this one
@TheRogueVoyager I lived in Winthrop and was a surveyor on the big swig... used to surf Rye on da rocks a lot and Hampton!!! The water was chi chi!!! Great job on that rig bro... well done...
I have a dual portable induction cooktop. You place it on the countertop and plug it in when you use it and store it away when you're not to save countertop space :)
I think Toilet is the most important part than a shower....You can Shower with the kitchen hoes as well.... but if you put a new toilet compost or not i am sure it will go for sale
Totally agree. I designed and built a composting toilet, but I’ve used it a few times so I figured people wouldn’t want a used toilet lol, they can choose the toilet that meets their needs since there are so many options out there now
@@itsjustmama You can always purchase your own composting toilet, not a big deal. Having a flushing black water tank toilet isn't ideal for off grid living. To each their own though!
@@aprilhayes4901 I had built my own toilet, since I originally built this bus to live in myself, but removed it from the your, since it’s used and no one wants a used toilet😆 so the new owner can choose their own toilet to put into the shower area
No need to be sorry, I’m kicking myself for not mentioning it lol. If you see the other comments that’s a big question. In short, I made a custom toilet but used it several times and didn’t want to include it because of that. Plus, toilets can be a huge personal preference, so the buyer can purchase their own composting toilet like a Nature’s Head, Separette or similar
@@realtalk3187 you can just purchase a compost toilet and out it in the shower as originally designed for not a big deal at all lol. Check the pinned comment
There is a potable induction cooktop stove for cooking and no microwave. It’s not practical to run a microwave since it’s draws so much power. If you’re hooked up to an RV park then it would be fine, but I designed this bus for off grid living and it would draw too much power. Plus, I tried to maximize the space for storage, so in theory you could just have it stored in a cabinet if you really wanted one and pull it out when you want to use it
Ok! Nice finishes. One major item missing is a toilet. Even a small one to put in the shower pan would do. I am female senior we wake up thru the night to use the toilet. I will not be buying this.
Thanks! It’s super easy to just purchase a composting toilet to put in the shower area. Check the pinned comment for more on why there isn’t a toilet in the video

Most of the windows are too high up and either blocked by a wall or not easily accessible. Comes down to personal preference with these conversions. It’s always interesting to hear what priorities you have over me or others
Toilet ? Screens ?
See pinned comment about toilet. What do you mean by screens? Like window screens?
I would put in a dry flush toilet and find a way to have it slide in and out of the wall in the shower
My original plan was to have the toilet slide through a door like you see on other conversions, but at the end of the day, the fear of water leaking in the shower area around that door was enough to scare me from doing that lol
Now it would be impossible to have it slide in through the wall, there isn't any space left sadly..
Why not end with the price
@@luv2jazz seemed a bit tacky, but also prices change, so I didn’t want to pigeon hold myself to one price and not be able to change it in the video later
wow, is beautiful, why are you selling it?
Great question. In short, over the course of 2 years life happens and priorities change and new paths were opened up to me, so I’m going to be chasing those paths. I designed this never to sell but for me to live in full time, so letting go of my baby is a tough thing to do..
Where’s the toilet? 😮
I was about to ask the same question. 🧐
I did design and build a composting toilet to put in the shower area, but it’s not part of the bus for sale, since I did use it a few times and who wants to buy a used composting toilet😂 I figure the new owner will pick the toilet of their choosing to include since that is a very personal item
@@ClaraDoesEverythingme too! same, where’s toilet 🚽 thanks for letting us know
Very nice job! However, I did not see a cooktop. Also, there is only the driver seat and no seatbelts on the seats at the table.
Thanks! There’s a portable induction cooktop you take out and put away when you’re done. And yeah, that’s one of the drawbacks is only one seat. I didn’t want to put a seat belt on one of the benches. It wouldn’t be safe and meet highway standards so I opted not to🤓
I'd be too concerned about the glass entry doors. Anyone could break them and be inside.
Yeah, if security is a high priority for you, then maybe this isn't the ultimate option. It could always be replaced with a house door or something though
Does the AC work if it's not plugged into shore power?
Yes! That’s the huge benefit of having a 12v AC unit like the Dometic RTX2000. It runs off of solar or battery power or shore if you want it to!
Sorry, all that luxury, and no toilet... you can scratch this van out of my bucket list!😑...
Check the pinned comment about the toilet😁
Where is the toilet
See the pinned comment😇
This is a very nice build I would just need to figure out which toilet to get. The TV would have to be moved because I could see myself accidentally kicking the Tv while sleeping.
@@Reneellinedance haha I can understand that. I’m 6’1” and I touch it a little bit laying down, but if you’re shorter I don’t think you’d even hit it
everything seems amazing - the toilet. i would rather have a toilet over a shower. - otherwise beautiful job
A compost or cassette toilet can be placed in the shower area, just like most van and bus conversions, not a big deal :)
I really like it ... Toilet?

Do did an awesome job..WOW, rental??
19.99...lol
@@tootsietoes6588Thanks, I appreciate it! I did put a lot of hard living work into it to make it as comfortable and “homey” as possible. No rentals unfortunately, although I did consider that at one point!
❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
you got everything covered except a toilet. what happened
A mistake that lots of other people have asked about haha. I’m only human😆
Where is the bathroom toilet???????.
See pinned comment😄
Propane gas and diesel, really an aqua hot System could have replaced so much and saved you space. Looks more instagram ready then living friendly. Solar solar solar solar, storage storage storage. I kinda feel like this rig misses the point of van life but is more for the I use it a few times a year crowd.
Well 800 watts of residential grade solar (higher efficiency than standard renogy panels you often see), 600ah battery bank with 12v dometic AC and diesel heater with 5 gallon fuel tank, 75 gallons of fresh water, shower and 20 gallon gray water tank says otherwise, which is more than most of the other sprinter and pro master builds you see. 12lb propane tanks runs the hot water heater and everything else is electric and safer that way. If you can suggest better solutions for full time four season off grid living than that, I'm all ears :)
@@TheRogueVoyagerprobably a hater giving their opinion
How much does something like this cost?
Check the description that has the for sale listing on Vanlife Trader🙂
Where would a second person sit/be seatbelted while on the road?
Unfortunately, there is only one seat for driving and not another seat with a seat belt
Looks great! Is this filmed in Marshfield MA? It looks like Ocean St lol
Second guess is Hampton Beach in NH 😅
North Hampton Beach, yup!!😁
Does the bench turn into a couch and bed!?
Unfortunately no. I couldn’t get it to work with this layout, but the table can be removed for a more lounge style setup
What was the price? His voice wasn't clear enough for my hearing
The price was originally $80,000, but I recently dropped it to $70,000 since we’re going into the winter months. You can see the listing in the description :)
Is there a toilet?
@@janiceapilando-kam5884 No toilet, the buyer can purchase a compost or cassette toilet of their choosing. I made one, but used it and didn’t want to include a used toilet
Wish there was a bathroom
In the van/bus conversion life, at this size I’ve never seen any conversion with a proper bathroom. Most don’t even have a shower! So a composting toilet in the shower is the best that’s possible. Some sacrifices need to inevitably be made on the road😆
What ya cook on?
@@Cecelia-u1j Portable induction cooktop that I failed to mention in the video along with the toilet and it’s been a big mistake because that’s what everyone is asking in the comments😆
Is this in Winthrop??? And are you converting retail or custom rigs???
It's not in Winthrop, but I filmed this at North Hampton Beach in NH, I'm in southern NH. I'm not converting retail or custom rigs, but if you have a rig or thinking about getting one, we can talk and see how I can help or at the very least give you some advice from what I learned building this one
@TheRogueVoyager I lived in Winthrop and was a surveyor on the big swig... used to surf Rye on da rocks a lot and Hampton!!! The water was chi chi!!! Great job on that rig bro... well done...
@TheRogueVoyager I am... I want something like that for Baja... me and ma best friend. ( my dog 😆) any direct contact??? That bus is sick.
@TheRogueVoyager is cinnamon rainbows still open??? Dave was a good friend
@@thomasmclaughlim918 Appreciate!!
Scanned the QR code and got a message that it has been disabled?
Yes, it’s true, so sorry!! Check the video description for the for sale listing, that’s where the QR code brings you😌
It would’ve been perfect if there was a toilet didn’t see one
See pinned comment :)
Is it sold?
There are potential buyers that are looking into securing the funds to buy, but it is still for sale!
What is the cooktop there's no room for a cooktop
I have a dual portable induction cooktop. You place it on the countertop and plug it in when you use it and store it away when you're not to save countertop space :)
Is the bus sold already?
Not yet! A couple interested buyers right now, but still technically on the market😄
I think Toilet is the most important part than a shower....You can Shower with the kitchen hoes as well.... but if you put a new toilet compost or not i am sure it will go for sale
Totally agree. I designed and built a composting toilet, but I’ve used it a few times so I figured people wouldn’t want a used toilet lol, they can choose the toilet that meets their needs since there are so many options out there now
Has to have a toilet or a no-go for us
@@itsjustmama You can always purchase your own composting toilet, not a big deal. Having a flushing black water tank toilet isn't ideal for off grid living. To each their own though!
@TheRogueVoyager don't want black tank... just a pooper as we are older.
But an absolutely gorgeous build!
Where is the toilet??
@@aprilhayes4901 I had built my own toilet, since I originally built this bus to live in myself, but removed it from the your, since it’s used and no one wants a used toilet😆 so the new owner can choose their own toilet to put into the shower area
How much?
The for sale listing is in the description which has more info including the price :)
Toilet?
Check the pinned comment, a man can only respond to this comment so many times lol
@ TY
Sorry where is the toilet.
No need to be sorry, I’m kicking myself for not mentioning it lol. If you see the other comments that’s a big question. In short, I made a custom toilet but used it several times and didn’t want to include it because of that. Plus, toilets can be a huge personal preference, so the buyer can purchase their own composting toilet like a Nature’s Head, Separette or similar
No toilet, shucks
@@realtalk3187 you can just purchase a compost toilet and out it in the shower as originally designed for not a big deal at all lol. Check the pinned comment

No stove or microwave
There is a potable induction cooktop stove for cooking and no microwave. It’s not practical to run a microwave since it’s draws so much power. If you’re hooked up to an RV park then it would be fine, but I designed this bus for off grid living and it would draw too much power. Plus, I tried to maximize the space for storage, so in theory you could just have it stored in a cabinet if you really wanted one and pull it out when you want to use it
No toilet? No shower? Bummer!
See pinned comment about the toilet and no shower? There’s definitely a shower. You might want to watch the video again, it’s right when I walk in
Ok! Nice finishes. One major item missing is a toilet. Even a small one to put in the shower pan would do. I am female senior we wake up thru the night to use the toilet. I will not be buying this.
Thanks! It’s super easy to just purchase a composting toilet to put in the shower area. Check the pinned comment for more on why there isn’t a toilet in the video
Dry flush toilet, it has enough power.
Would be nice. No plumbing needed.
Not a terrible idea for sure. I would prefer a composting urine diversion style toilet, but it definitely has the power to support a dry flush!
Luxury is no toilet 🚽?
