Finally someone who used his smarts to use the material that was there, buy available furniture & cabinets from home stores. Also looks real nice. You said it. Keep it within your comfort zone. Congratulations for a nice & affordable build.
I like the way he keeps things simple , so many similar builds make me feel like I'm inside a WW2 submarine, so cramped. I wish him well, and good travels.
I like the size of your bus. I have been looking at the folks that are living in converted vans. I think it might be too small for me. It does look as though you have enough room to move around. Good job. Hope you enjoy your travels.
Love this, & the way you've tied the cabinets & closet/shower structures into the original seatbelt mounts + seat tracks. Super efficient, straightforward, and strong. 💕
I love that this build was performed by a diesel mechanic. Mechanical work is often glazed over in the nomadic lifestyle handbook, but it’s the first thing you have to take care of before conversion.
I do like the simplicity and style of the build. Some people are put off with the toilet/bag disposal but it's probably neater than a traditional toilet that sprays water when it is flushed. Ever see the studies demonstrations the bacteria spread every time you flush?? Lol. All the more reason guys to put the lid down 🤣😂
I dont get why everyone is complaining about him not paying rent either?! He has his own space and takes care of his needs. He is parked on his property. Not actually living in his house? We have had people live IN OUR HOME without paying rent. They also would eat all of our food and run our bills up without doing anything at all. Id rather this guy park on the property than those people who took advantage of everything. Being cheap now means he will be better off later on. Sorry for all of your retirement plans. Everyone is just being mean to this guy. I like his nervous laugh. Hes probably just a nervous and a bit socially awkward. 🤷🏻♀️ hed fit in fine with me.
I can't remember if I left a comment on your video or not but I love this build! Seeing this build house me figure out how I want to do my build! I'm not even 11 minutes in and I had to stop and comment! My shuttle I believe is a little wider and a little taller inside and so with what you've done I could totally do this but change it up a bit to fit what I want! By the way I love the part about your being able to change up the closet if you move in a girl :-) what if you met a girl who had a bus! Just a thought :-) You never know what the universe has in store for you. Anyways I'm going to finish watching this video. I have my big pink binder out and I'm going to put some new info in it from this build of yours. I'm actually living in my bus which is gutted but unconverted :-)
It is a big waste of water when you let it drain away while it heats up. I live in a house and have a small bucket in my shower to catch that cold water and use it to flush my toilet but you could just as easily catch it in a clean container and use it for whatever you like.
If a person has children, pets, wear clothes, and eat, chances are that one or all of these will end up in the same sink...sometimes more than one at a time...
But you're totally okay with the idea of visiting a friends house where you have to poop into a ziplock bag? You've got some weird priorities for friendship, but I'm sure someone out there is game.
Just spray a solution of 10% bleach waster on the sink surface and let it sit for a few minutes. The cooties are gone. My mantra is 'dirt don't hurt, filth does.!'
Because people...some asshats would see him somewhere and mess with him...not everyone shows the outside of their rig for security...I didn't hear anything about a security system, other than the pooch barking...did you notice how nobody mentions the weapons they have? Same concept...
ua-cam.com/users/LifeisaJoy They raised their roof enough to install standard 80 inch doors. Good rule for deck (floor) height is wheel diameter plus 3 inches. Interiors range from 6ft to 7ft depending on style. I have seen risers of up to 18 inches. I think they get weak if more than that. Fortunately, even a school bus could be raised by 3feet if you really wanted so long as you finish up under 13ft6inches (13ft1 is standard on a lot of buses). I hope this helps.
This is an OK build. It looks nice, but I'm not a fan of any build without a good toilet system or fridge. LMAO! He just said he hasn't paid his friend rent since 2014 & lives there and basically when he doesn't have anywhere to stay for free, he'll stay on the bus! Why would you live with anyone and not pay them something? I wouldn't want anyone to support me like that! I would feel bad for taking advantage of someone like that. I love that beautiful dog!
Nice build but I believe the word you are referring to as heighth is actually height. Pronounced hite just just like kite. Height. It’s isn’t a th word like length. It is an ht word. HEIGHT. I apologize if I’m wrong but the sound of hithe highthe or whatever just makes my ears ring. Maybe I misheard you and if so I really apologize mam. Again I apologize for being so forward but that’s just my personality so who can blame me for that? I know I’m an ass
Hasn’t paid rent since 2014 and how old are you? I don’t care if you’re parked outside somebody’s house you’re probably plugged into the electricity using the water from the air Spicket that cost money for the homeowner. California not surprised, I can say that because I lived in California till 2002 and then got out of there.
I don’t know if you realize it or not but you have this nervous laugh that you use continuously. It is very disturbing and disrupting. If you are going to continue to make videos I would suggest that you lose the laugh because it will not get you additional viewers but it will turn people off. When you laugh all the time it makes people not want to trust you, like you’re hiding something. I don’t wish to be mean in my criticism but any good speech therapist will tell you and give you the same advice, I am just giving it to you for free.
Wow are you a psychiatrist or something? I heard him and I thought that's just his style. He did seem a little selfconscious but i dont find it disturbing or disruptive. i think he may be a little bit shy.
He's giving a tour of his home, not making a presidential speech...oh, wait...he doesn't usually speak publicly and isn't likely to start...it's nerves due to a touch of awkwardness...stop judging and sincerely refrain from being an asshole...more people may find you less abrasive...
If you are going to leave comments then I would suggest that you read the description of the video, and see who the poster is. Perhaps even try watching more than one. The man in the video did not make the video, nor did he post it. He is just one person in this one video, and in the next video they will move on to someone else. I very much doubt that he will read your comment and even if he did it would mean nothing to him. If he cared what people thought about his laugh then he wouldn't be on T.V showing the bags that he poops into on his friends lawn where he lives without paying rent since 2014. He's not out to win people over with his charm like you are my friend. He's just trying to share his bus with the group, which is kinda the point of the tiny home tours. To show tiny homes, not to impress you with the beauty contest of the people living inside. Do you hear yourself? You sound like you've got a stick up your butt. If you took it out, people might trust you more. Cheaper than therapy, faster and more effective.

Love how he explained how he built it out. And you showed that,not all the crap in the cupboards.
1st... What an awesome dog! She knew what she was doing when she adopted you!
2nd... This is such a practical and cool build. Thanks for sharing!
she is a beautiful girl, he is blessed to have her
I like the way he keeps things simple , so many similar builds make me feel like I'm inside a WW2 submarine, so cramped.
I wish him well, and good travels.
I like the simplicity and neatness of this van. I have never seen a toilet like that before but if it works for you that is what is important.
I saw the shower, but I missed the toilet. What kind is it?
@@jeanfrench7280 it's a portable potty from Walmart. It has a plastic bag in it and then you dispose the bag.
@@sandrabradley3703 Thank you. I could work with that.
My favorite part is the dog showing off how much she likes the bus. Look at that smile @ 7:41
I like the size of your bus. I have been looking at the folks that are living in converted vans. I think it might be too small for me. It does look as though you have enough room to move around. Good job. Hope you enjoy your travels.
Great bus build 👍
Vans are good for one person and generally a max of 175cm I think about 5”9 in American measurements
gorgeous set up, nice and beautiful dog :) thank you for saving her :)
I love how you don't insert yourself in the video you just let the people tell there story simply ,
nice build, would have loved to see the bus from the outside as well...
Love this, & the way you've tied the cabinets & closet/shower structures into the original seatbelt mounts + seat tracks. Super efficient, straightforward, and strong. 💕
That dog is so happy
....the dog sleeping on the couch... 💖
Very very nice build. I like the size of the inside. It seems much wider than most shuttle buses ive seen.
Enjoy and be safe, stay well and God bless
Adorable Dog, And Nice Built Comfortable Bus.
I love that this build was performed by a diesel mechanic. Mechanical work is often glazed over in the nomadic lifestyle handbook, but it’s the first thing you have to take care of before conversion.
Loved the layout and & the fact that there's a indoor shower and the choice not to deal with blackwater 😆
Kevin you have a nice nervous laugh😁
I do that as well😆
Nice guy, kind eyes, cool beard, great bus. Thanks!
Ahh! Actual seating that isn’t just pads on a bench!
If I was to travel, I would want this bus but I would have to have a more girly bathroom. Lolol. Your laugh is contagious. You have an awesome laugh.
I do like the simplicity and style of the build. Some people are put off with the toilet/bag disposal but it's probably neater than a traditional toilet that sprays water when it is flushed. Ever see the studies demonstrations the bacteria spread every time you flush?? Lol. All the more reason guys to put the lid down 🤣😂
No shots of the exterior?
I would need a toilet and fridge, but otherwise it is budget friendly and suits your needs so enjoy.
Unistrut framing is an interesting idea, and probably lighter too. Cool dog.
It's beautiful and so are you and your sweet dog. Nice Job!
Your bus is very nice.
I dont get why everyone is complaining about him not paying rent either?! He has his own space and takes care of his needs. He is parked on his property. Not actually living in his house?

*Well said, Thank You!*
You have a great build.great way to save paying rent.we live 10months of the year. In a 36'motor home.i love it.
Safe travels 🙏
Very nice 🙂
What a cute and flufy dog!!!😍 (I also love your home).
1:11 💥BLAM💥
😁💪😂

L❤️VE the build!
this is a nice rv, i could live in there comfortably. smart design.
Thank
Yup. This is what I've wanted to do for a long time.
What a real cool bus. Looks so comfortable. Great job.
You've done a great job! Very pleasing spaces!
You could have a composting toilet, or a cassette toilet
Great job and very creative thanks for sharing be blessed you and your family 👍 💕 🙌 ❤ 👪
Really great work , simply great use of space. Love this shuttle build.
Beautiful....looks great🏆
Nice build. I like the part where you have 10k but no money for rent. Makes sense.
Perfect !!!! Very nice!🎉
It is a big waste of water when you let it drain away while it heats up. I live in a house and have a small bucket in my shower to catch that cold water and use it to flush my toilet but you could just as easily catch it in a clean container and use it for whatever you like.
I love it! Good job 👍🏻
Would you mind telling me where & what state you purchased your bus? I’m in Southern California for what it’s worth. Thanks so much. Beautiful Build!
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Nice place ♥️💗
I don't think I would visit my friend's place if they washed pets, socks, babies, and dishes in the same sink 😣

Awesome
Could we see video the van itself? Ty
Nice 🙂
Why do u never show the outside of the bus
Because people...some asshats would see him somewhere and mess with him...not everyone shows the outside of their rig for security...I didn't hear anything about a security system, other than the pooch barking...did you notice how nobody mentions the weapons they have? Same concept...
Kevin,do you build skoolies too. Just asking
Nice friend to give you free rent!
Really, I wonder if it was a family member "friend". Never had a friend I would even consider living rent free for years, but whatever.
Hi! Model, year and make of bus? Ty
I would like to know this information also, plus did he say how long it took to build it out?
Hello i live in California
Too may need. Sume help on my van wen i get it
I am 6f8in

Agree
I'd be embarrassed to admit I sponged off my friend(s) since 2014.....unless I misunderstood his living with others etc.
He probably provides the property owner with something they need in exchange for his space.
Nice build but I believe the word you are referring to as heighth is actually height. Pronounced hite just just like kite. Height. It’s isn’t a th word like length. It is an ht word. HEIGHT. I apologize if I’m wrong but the sound of hithe highthe or whatever just makes my ears ring. Maybe I misheard you and if so I really apologize mam. Again I apologize for being so forward but that’s just my personality so who can blame me for that? I know I’m an ass
This guy is cheap lol
And you're ignorant and rude.
I stopped watching as soon as he said he didn't pay rent and didn't plan to pay any
We have no idea what his situation is. Maybe he works the land or cares for the person in lieu of rent. Let’s not be so quick to judge.
Nobody wants to sit on a couch and stare at the kitchen sink. This is my immediate rejection standard of any layout. Big nope from me.
Hasn’t paid rent since 2014 and how old are you? I don’t care if you’re parked outside somebody’s house you’re probably plugged into the electricity using the water from the air Spicket that cost money for the homeowner.

Agree. Nervous laugh as a tick gets in the way of the narration.
Wow are you a psychiatrist or something? I heard him and I thought that's just his style. He did seem a little selfconscious but i dont find it disturbing or disruptive. i think he may be a little bit shy.
Who cares what you think, judgemental much??
He's giving a tour of his home, not making a presidential speech...oh, wait...he doesn't usually speak publicly and isn't likely to start...it's nerves due to a touch of awkwardness...stop judging and sincerely refrain from being an asshole...more people may find you less abrasive...

too much white it's gross it can use color
