    You did a great job creating this video, as far as I can see-no need to apologize. It is concise, yet detailed enough to see how it was done. It's terrible when you are watching a video that is 20 minutes long when its filled with extraneous footage that is unneccessary . nice job !

    I've been researching bus builds for awhile now. Beautiful results, but this more decorating than build. Moisture /vapor barriers are important.

    • @DreamingBigSC
      @DreamingBigSC  2 роки тому

      I appreciate your comments, but we were going more towards ease of build and weight then the more traditional builds that are full of wood. We've been using this bus for several years now everywhere from extreme cold to extreme heat and if had no problem with moisture. Thank you for watching and for commenting.

    I loved this "quick and dirty" video! Your camper turned out so cute!
    I hadn't noticed the "ugly" green paint and went back to see it and while green is my favorite color, I agree the yellow looks much nicer! The green somehow made it look dated while the yellow feels fresh and brings so much light into the room! I'm sure the lighter color helps make the space feel larger during the inevitable rainy days, but no matter the weather or time of day it looks warm and welcoming! It's amazing what a bit of paint can accomplish, isn't it?
    Your husband is so handy! His work looks so professional-- especially the black water tank and kitchen counter. Please let him know another stranger on the internet admires his work, haha! Seriously, well done! I love your kitchen! And your clever bathroom/closet door! And the really safe "overbuilt" passenger seat with seat belt.
    I think the storage drawers are a really clever solution: they look nice with the custom built framing around them and the weight reduction surely helps gas mileage! I read in another comment that you've found them a little frustrating as they're so lightweight. Now that you've been using them for awhile is their convenience worth the hassle they cause or were new drawers your first necessary upgrade?
    Thank you for sharing such an excellent overview video! You shared enough information to give us a good idea of how y'all accomplished everything and showed off the finished project in a reasonable length of time and even spoiled us by telling us y'all had more in depth videos showing how you accomplished the trickier parts. Thank you again and well done!

    What a great little home on wheels. This would be heaven for so many people living without a home. I think there should be a law that states if you are employed full or part time or enrolled in school you are legally allowed to park a vehicle home dwelling in the city where you earn income and pay taxes so long as you deal with any trash and waste and it's not parked on private property without permission. We could greatly reduce homelessness and address the lack of affordable housing for people who are regular wage earners or students on a limited budget.

    Love the colors and layout, especially the curtain! --I'm with everyone else though, I'd need a shower. You can install a shower head and still keep your closet. Just put the shower head over the toilet, and have drainage in the floor. I took a shower once in a friends' truck bed camper that had one. Their bathroom was smaller than yours, they had the toilet, a sink on the back of the toilet, and the shower. It worked for me.
