    Love it!
    I just bought a 2011 E450.
    For me, the idea started in 1995, when a friend, and I bought a 1964 International School bus.
    Our intent, was to travel with the Grateful Dead.
    We did make it to one show, just as a test.
    The Bus did well, but, unfortunately, if the good don't die young, they're living on borrowed time.
    So, now that my kids are grown, I'm doing this again, but, with alot more experience, and wisdom.
    Funny thing is, I was so much less afraid of the unknown, when I was 17, lol.

    *All you have to do to keep things on your shelves is put a lip on them. Then you wouldn't have to move very much stuff when you move.*
    You can check out other videos of skoolies to understand what I mean.
    *Love what you have done and love those babies!!*

    The best scenic view I have seen on UA-cam. The sound of the waves so refreshing and relaxing. The treehouse color on the bushouse has that off road feel. Van build is very functional. Very cozy and I love all of the homey touches used in the build. A work in progress while getting to enjoy the journey. Love it!

    Your home is Beautiful and you both are a beautiful couple! You remind me of my young life! I was raised in the 70”s!. I’m now a young 64yrs old! I live in a 1980 34V Avion Travel Trailer 6yrs full time, with my two small dogs. I’ve always had the Gypsy/Nomad heart for our Beautiful Earth and I will live this way until I can’t anymore. Travel on! Stay Safe and Alert! Wandering Wanda!

    Do you know back in the day they used to use copper in a lot of household things such as door knobs. It is known that copper is antiviral. So the idea of using one of the sink and keep you from getting sick more often. Very clever without them knowing that!

    This is amazing. We just put up a video on our UA-cam about how we sleep/seat all 8 of us in our Ford Transit for traveling. We definitely don’t have the kitchen and homey look you guys have in yours, but someday when we do van travel full time it will be 5 of us instead of 8 and we’ll be doing a whole build.

    Lovely home you've made for yourselves. I especially love the door that open up your kitchen to the outside. Great idea for easy access to your water storage and waste for easy filling and dumping. It's also nice to have fresh air in your bus as you are cooking! Love the paintings and tapestries as well! Thanks for sharing your home with us.

    That's cool man. The first I thought I was watching a (and I ditest the word retro) video from the 70's from when I was your age that's exactly how we dressed same kind of jewelry jeans, tank top, hairstyle etc.lol Anywho I was just wondering so you don't have to hassle with taking them down every time you move why can't you just hook a bungee cord to secure your big pans? You would just need a couple eyelet screws on each end of the wood. I mean that's what I'd do I wouldn't want to hassle with that all the time I guess I'm too lazy 😆 anyway fantastic job with it and I love your art piece that you're working on absolutely beautiful.. I would do the bed the exact same way would not want to hassle with having to change that every freaking day! I apologize for my comic being so long!🐒💗

    Please tell me what the actual driving limitations are like. Lots of people say they don’t do well in mud, ice or rough roads but one couple said they had no such issues. I rode on one everyday to school living way out on a very rough dirt road that was often muddy, snowy & icy so I don’t get it. Maybe it just depends on the tires?
