VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Join John, Danielle, Abraham, and Axel on an incredible tour of their unique 40-foot school bus conversion, affectionately named "Crusty." Converted over two years with dedication and while embracing a new family addition, this bus is a testament to the couple's desire for a life unbound by conventional expectations. Dive into their story and explore every corner of their transformed home on wheels.
Inside "Crusty": A Home Like No Other
Inside, the bus boasts a fully functional kitchen with an 8-foot butcher block countertop where Danielle and John prepare daily meals using a three-burner stove. Unlike typical homes, every aspect of "Crusty" is designed with care and style, evidenced by the charming nautical theme and practical setups like the deep sink and thoughtfully placed cabinets.
Custom Living Spaces
Beyond the kitchen, the bus features a dinette area that doubles as a homeschooling spot for Abe. This space showcases a stunning river table handcrafted by Danielle's mother, bringing a piece of family heritage onto the road. The living area is equipped with an 8-foot recycled leather futon, offering comfort and functionality as it converts into additional sleeping space.
Efficient Designs for Family Life
Storage solutions are cleverly integrated throughout the bus, from hidden compartments under mahogany benches to overhead cabinets made of poplar wood. Their bathroom includes a handmade copper sink from Morocco and a composting toilet that meets their needs perfectly. The children's room features submarine bunk beds, echoing John's Coast Guard days, complete with playful netting and wave wallpaper to spark imagination.
Technological Integration and Off-Grid Living
"Crusty" is equipped with a robust solar system that powers their daily needs, including an RV AC unit that cools most of the bus effectively. Their water system includes a 100-gallon tank stored under the bed, illustrating the bus's blend of practicality and deep consideration for sustainability.
A Platform for Jewelry Business
Not just a home, "Crusty" also serves as a mobile base for their jewelry business, Parking Lot Pirates. The exterior features a stunning octopus mural symbolizing intelligence and resilience, attributes that resonate deeply with the family's lifestyle.

"Crusty" represents more than just a home; it's a commitment to living authentically and embracing life as a continuous adventure. This school bus conversion isn't just about mobility-it's about creating a life that truly reflects one's values and passions, no matter where the road leads.

Beautiful mural and nautical ornaments. Just wondering if the other side of the bus has windows or emergency exits ..
I make my own jewelry too. Sterling silver.
Beautiful build. Side note: The wife looks like Alanis Morrisette.
School bus conversion
Would have liked if they would have opened the drawers and cabinets so we could see how the storage really worked! Plus parents have no privacy from the babies!
We open plenty of drawers on our own channel ❤
Who looks after the kids while you both bar work?
Thats none of your business
There are no windows.
Shower once every 2 days?! Cmon...
Especially with little kids! N as a couple I would never! I hate feeling sticky by the end of the day. I can’t even sleep without a bathe to go to bed. Plus heat and funk don’t match well together!
Beds in the bathroom 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
You work with the space you got just cause you couldn’t do it doesn’t mean you should roll your eyes at someone else’s life style
Just like a larger square foot home, the bedroom has a bathroom!
ну у вас то ребята надеюсь душ есть ахахаха
сколько посмотрела кемперов американцев, возникло чувство что принимать душ американцы не любят.....если нет душа в к минивене, для меня машина мертвая и не нужная, я даже смотреть не хочу
чистота на первом месте.
Ar you pregnet🤰
