Tried to answer questions, comments - if I missed you or you have any. Reach out on IG or send me an email - I’ll do my best to get back.
Mostly the bathroom shower seems to come up. The bucket is essentially what I had before, I use a big water jug for urine. Showering - biodegradable soap and rivers, lakes, oceans I’m happy with. I really wanted to detach from needing things, no fridge, no running water, ac or heat (heat in the dash) and stove if it’s really cold. I added a 5 gallon jug below the sink and 2 - 1 gallon jugs - big difference especially with a big dog that drinks a ton. Cleaning wise, hiking boots off at the door, my dog sheds very little compared to my last dog - a husky so I’m used to it..but if it gets a little dirty, I’m ok with it, I guess that’s why they call people like me dirt bags..I guess I can call them a clean bag haha. The point of the bus wasn’t exactly to live in it - more to just live - see and explore, hike - watch the sunrise, sunset, see the stars..I’m not actually in the bus that often. I started cooking a little more - mainly soups. Only other thing I said at the end 6.3 diesel - it’s a 6.5 (idky I said 3) also - they have these cloths for showing called Norwex - if you NEED a shower - you might not care, but they do a great job. If I was to do this whole trip with my girlfriend at the time, I would have done a pvc pipe on the roof for a shower for her but as I said below the bed there’s a solar shower bag. In to the wild movie was inspiring - I wanted to have less than the normal van/bus lifer - I’m obviously not a leathertramp or supertramp but Needing things was something I took into account. I wanted to have some struggles, I wanted to disconnect - the van life might be for a lot of people but the life I wanted to live..constantly explore, hike.. might not be for everyone. There’s times I go 2 days with 4 hours of sleep, I love this life, it gives me energy and fills a passion/love for the earth. Glad so many enjoyed it - sorry I chatted away for so long haha - hey I’m alone..it was a moment to chat!
Norwex cloths are GREAT !
The last thing in the world I would call you is a dirtbag!!! I used to have a Mastiff/Great Dane so those of us with dogs know they are dirty, messy creatures. I got used to that so it didn't bother me so much, but if I was going to be intimate with a man I definitely like us to both be clean first! 😏😋😛 not😝 Hey now!!!
This is so amazing !!! you are able to live such minimalistic life and live comfortable life unlike most people these days. I wish you all the best of luck in your life adventures 😊
HHubbell Photography 🙌🏼🙌🏼thank you!!
1jennifer28 ☺️thank you!
Never seen a man’s place that was so cozy and soft.
Yep ! I was surprised it belonged to a man lol ,no offense intended.
my thought exactly! But I figured it's made that way to attract females ;)
My apartment is the same way.
Right, I kept saying “this is way too nice, he’s gotta girlfriend or an interior decorator.” Lol
Jeremy's sense of aesthetic and craftsmanship are fantastic.
i was so suprised being most outdorrsy guys arent
This by far the nicest, cleanedt, most beautifully done short bus I've seen! I'm planng to convert a shuttle bus someday and I've been researching this for years. You have done an amazing job, truly! You should be very proud!
Search top 10 short buses on youtube. They are all extremely nice!
I want to convert a shuttle bus, too.
You're a sweetheart. You come across as genuine and honest. Enjoy the beautiful life that you have, you deserve it!
Love it AND love seeing that you travel with your SWEET budddy!!! He is ADORABLE!
Love the set up, looks awesome! Just missing a bathroom & toilets for me...
yah easy fix so many options, inlay a shower pan under the floor boards, then have a cover like the sinks would, then a retractable curtain rod so it dont lay on the skin. Heck can do a full size shower to other side if wish. then i do a pull out toilet from under the sink enclosed to pull from bathroom side. drop shelf's metal? wood so still can use as storage if to even hang clothes to dry. get a dehumidifier. hand dry curtain with cheese cloth towels dries fastest no mildew put that in near and let it run. hang the towels. in winter its good to have. for the water get a collapse water bladder or camper jugs you can mount a shelf so out of the way and do gravity flow great over sink. and when not in use crush down and stow. so its like a plan shower and will double as water source for dog and you. sorry if scrambled looking tried to shorten it.

He did put the potty back in.
One can use shower pan or large, strong plastic bin as your tub. Hang shower curtain from ceiling, that you can remove or retract. Place curtain all around you, and bottom of curtain in tub.
You can have your shower outside with removable curtain.
I believe you can buy a quick outdoor shower set up. I realize you want to do w/o as much as possible, but I want to let others know.🦋
On a short bus or a shuttle bus, why not use the entry step area as a shower stall?
I'll be using a Murphy bed. My design includes a separate toilet and shower plus a massive amount of counter space. Designing for a 5 window bus
So cool! I’ve got a 07 duramax city bus I’m building on my channel to pull my hot rods around to events and races. love the bus !
Looks great. Obviously, Jeremy put a lot of thought into the design and his needs. Hugs to your pup.
1. He is a cutie pie.2. He has great design sense for a dude.3. Beautifully done conversion.
@marvinandjosh1 - There are plenty of "dudes" who have a great design sense and; plenty of _dudettes_ who don't. He has a great design sense (period). Cheers-
He did say he started out as two... so credit could belong elsewhere, but yeah sex does not guaranty either way
I like the way this guy explained his house. As a beginner, he was very technical and logical, and made my Orion mind happy and content. Thank you, and see you on the road soon!
Very clean and beautiful aesthetic ! Congratulations on your simplicity.
Shuttle Bus!!! Tall, white, built in HVAC system for the passenger area and looks like it belongs anywhere without looking like an RV. Park it next to other shuttle buses. Build a light weight aluminum deck, with swing down legs, that hinges to the rear bumper and folds up. Attach an awning above the rear door when sitting on the deck. Put a rack on the roof with a black rubber water bag. Put a round galvanized water trough in a corner with a drain out the bottom of the bus, with shower curtains hanging from a metal electrical conduit bent into a ring and you have a gravity shower with warm water. You can get one with a wheel chair lift on the side for more doors.
I love how you decorated to match your dog. Well done!
It's great, I like this one, though I would have kept the bathroom.
@HHubbell Photography thank God 4 that.
He did put the potty back in.
Destiny Smith me to I need a bathroom that’s a must

Looks good, very comfortable 😺
Like the built and the pup. Awesome
Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I learned this trick while working at a clothing store so hangers didn't snag on clothes hangers - rub with wax paper!
Beautiful Bus!
One of the best van videos I’ve seen yet! Really nice design & all the extras & and the organizing is great. Thanks for sharing!
Wow so perfect, i love everything, personally would need a bathroom but other then that wouldn't change it.
Awesome build, very homely design and practical. Nature and a dog sounds and looks like a perfect rewarding life to me ❤️ from Australia 🍻
Loved hearing Hampton Beach, NH mentioned. I miss home. Safe travels
Stunning...Gorgeous...looks professionally decorated. ☺👌👍
There are thermal black curtains you can buy to help block out sun. Or reflective sun shades can work also.
Absolutely fantastic space!! Love all the white!! It makes it really look quite large!!
This is so far my absolute favourite van!!! Absolutely love the decor. 😍😍😍
Your skoolie is gorgeous.
There are “heat block’ curtains. You can find them even at WalMart and I am sure on Amazon. You could cut them down and have them along the back to help with the heat? Worth a try. May not be able to match your current curtains but if you use an accent color you are already using it will look good.
The conversion is so cool. Good job! Your k9 co-pilot is very cool!
I live in Newfoundland! That's awesome!!! 🤘🏻
By the way, Just a major THANK YOU for giving details on how things were built and who helped. I hate when I see these things and trying to plan for mines the cost and prices I'm getting from different handyman can be nuts. so very good to see that some of of the things i want in my space that you have can be done by myself with some home depot diy :) will be reviewing this video more than twice for some notes.
You lost me at one shower every five days!
yes..and the dog...BO...most people are not suffering from anosmia (inability to smell)
Shower in the gym avery day
You exaggerate
That stank
All you dumb, no.... DUMB, Commenters must be, besides the obvious stupidity, really stinky, dirty and likely jealous folks who neither know how to wipe your butts properly, or know your asses from a hole in the ground, I'd venture to guess. Showering more than once a week robs your skin of its essential natural oils for starters. THIS GUY WILL LOOK YEARS YOUNGER THAN ANY OF YOU IN 20 YEARS!😂
GREAT bus conversation.
Great taste, pretty neat!! A toilet somewhere maybe, but it is so cute!
Plastic shoe rack for utensils. Brilliant. Lota of good ideas no matter where or how one lives.
On of the nicer bus conversions, lovely and comfy looking
Awesome short bus and your doggie is so cute too::))
Purchas blackout curtains for the back windows at Walmart . Nice build
Love your bus. Looks like a cozy place to live. Its better I think to have that extra width that a bus gives you as opposed to a van. Simple but elegant ....can I say that about a guys space? Safe travels.
Love it ! ❤️❤️ perfectly decorated, so comfortable and cozy. Great job 👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
Really pretty!
Great conversion. Love it.
The bus is awesome!!!!!
He’s a cutie. His doggo is a cutie. His bus is a cutie. 👍🏻
Was the hairy man legs in the picture for a joke ? Lol 🙂🙂🙂 beautiful home.
You mentioned the curtains don't slide well. A little trick we use in retail to help metal hangers slide on metal display bars is to rub the display bars with wax paper. The same trick is used for wooden drawer slides by rubbing old candle stubs on the runners of the drawer. So.... Try some wax paper rubbed along the flat surface of the track where the individual "glides" run along... Will likely do the trick.. May need to repeat twice a year, or more on the curtain areas you open and close the most. If that doesn't work, try other ways to apply wax.. If it still doesn't work, then adhere a flat thin strip of slippery plastic along the flat part of the rods where the "glides" travel along. The type of plastic I'm thinking of is like the shower rod covers.. Super slippery hard glossy plastic. They make plastic strips for drawer runners, to adhere along the bottom surfaces of homemade wooden drawers... At least they did in the 70's...must be out there somewhere.. Good luck to you.. And I LOVE YOUR BUILD.. who were the builders you worked together with??
What a beautiful build! This one's going in my favourites folder ❤️🚙🇨🇦
Ty,Jeremy, it's...SUPERD!!!
For that sticking curtain, do you think it would be easier if you rubbed a piece of wax paper along the edge? That has helped with wood furniture, tough antique furniture and my friends clothing store uses wax paper regularly to keep the hangers sliding smoothly over the carts.
Use a self tapping screw to attach a ribbon to the widows upright, tie the curtain to in and voila no more curtain sucking out the window.
hell ya ,thank you for sharing,hugs from MN
I really like this build, great layout, but I would keep the toilet.
This does look great but with the extra space you could have put in a bathroom (or a hidden tub/shower pan in floor)
Beautiful
Love your woodburning piece of art!

Beautiful!
Very informative video too! If you're ever in Texas and need a few projects done to your bus, look me up as I am a Handyman/craftsman. Thanks again and good luck on your ventures
His chill lowered my BP
Your dog is so cute.
I love your little bus house but I do have a question wouldn't sitting on your cooler melt your ice? I'm obsessed with one of those little homes and hopefully someday I'll make one mine
My dog's name is Short Bus and he's just as white and special as this adorable short bus!
Nice buss ❤ Can’t believe you did not introduce your dog.
you can sew on a trim on the bottom of your curtains.
Thermal or blackout curtains both insulate and/or block light reducing heat
I guess not showering often is a man's thing&they can get away w/it more than women, but I need my showers! I can not wait to do this! It'll be a chapter of my life I'm proud of!I've been dying to do this for years! After I do a career I've been dreaming of for a year, I plan for this to be my next goal! Hope to see it come to life!!!
Love it!
Go on amazon and type in black out film. It helps big time
Up on your deck your bus-home u could add a railing around.
Good job presenting your nice home! Can you pls let me know your roof deck wood material? What size of wood? Thx
great bus! LOL on the swinging bananas & yucky juice
This bus has class ++
Agreed! Glad you enjoyed the tour! 😊
5:57 a quick solution could be to stick on some adhesive felt pads to absorb and blur the clicking noise.
Bread,Peanut butter and jelly.is a must have!!!
You could take the hem out of the curtains so they’d be longer or add fabric?
Yes curtains keep cold and hot air out.
Great tour of your van conversion. awesome job and great candid tips. signed up for your instagram... great photography! Wonderful, calming interior!
Awesome video and a great conversion! I would suggest to put time stamps in the video description instead onto the actual video. That way people can click on what they want to see most, and not scrub on the timeline :)
U did great job ! Quite nice. Other peoples opinions R thiers. Do U brother. Although a small honda generator and a frig , = solar power is great . buy ice will over time is costly. Solar on top. Great idea Is ; build a folding awning that folds against bus while driving. Then when stopped fold up/ out awning that has solr panels for roof. Then u have shade and even when raining u can sit outside. U can ALWAYS build a perminant sunvisor over the front windshield ; with solar panels ! ! ! 👍🌟
Green bananas to ripen fast put an apple with them. Always keep
apart when storing across room if possible.
I love it so much but how much did it cost
Try a top mounted pull down shade. 💟☮️
cute puppy, nice wheels!
Thermo king tripac evolution for air conditioning it costs about 8grand it will also do heat
1st thing I'd do is put a tiny bthrm where the guitar-alcove [Big waste of space] is. I tride living without a bthrmm...nightmare....don't .understand how anyone can live full-time without one. Evetything else is very charming though. ☺
Noce build!
Great in every way! Is your Pup a Bernie? Rich
Beautiful bus - curious the cost was the 18- 20K in addition to what you paid for the bus? Also if you ever sell it I would be interested!
can you give a standing weight for the bus as you have built it?
Love it
Hi Jeremy - I just bought a '95 Chevy G30/3500 four window short bus. The seats were already taken out and and there's kitchen type counter top but no sink or anything else yet. I got insurance with Progressive, but they won't cover a conversion. So I feel stuck now. Did you get insurance for your conversion because a professional did it? I've heard something like that before. And are you with National General who I've heard will insure conversions? I'll be following a plan very similar to yours, which is really 'stunning' as they say! Insurance really is the only question I have. Thanks for sharing the White Elephant. I'm retiring and want to get going in mine asap! Jen
It’s lovely and cosy, just can’t look at someone wearing these funny looking caps backwards inside lol.
🤣🤣🤣
When you bought your bus was there a certain amount of mileage you wanted it under? I’ve seen them on auction sites but have 300k + miles
pine siding ceiling.
Very nice! Im Highly looking for a shuttle bus for traveling and sharing live music as a one man band. My I ask what type of vehicle insurance you have
What product did you use for your ceiling? Panels? Strips?
He doesn't mention it exactly, but it looks similar to a poplar shiplap.
Nice Bus.... I didn't understand re the battery and or Solar.... ? Gold Zero ? I couldn't understand what you said. About the stove... I would have used a smaller, portable stove w butane or propane because I hardly ever use a burner for cooking. Only used for boiling or heating water. Don't need a stove to take up room on counter. Love the wood ceiling.
Inversion cooktop would be good. Runs on the electric and can put away when not needed😉
So neat and tidy!! For a guy lol
I’d rather live in this than a house for sure you can move anywhere and have different scenery all the time
Do you sell the wood burnings?
I don't understand why he didn't use the thermal fabric on the back windows, too.
