I have been obsessed with solo living videos on UA-cam here lately. I keep thinking its gonna go away and then here you go with this absolutely amazing home. Im just to scared to do it. But boy do I want to.
AdeleyDunda I personally get all my ingredients out before I cook, just have to be mindful and know to get out the fridge ingredients first. being in such a tiny space I would imagine there wouldn’t be much to it when cooking and you’d have to be more mindful.
@@adeleydunda You can get a split-top open top freezer, and split the counter/cutting board on top to only open half of it so that you could still access your fridge/freezer while using the counter space on top of one of the halves.
Best shuttle bus conversion I’ve seen so far. I’ve never understood why more people don’t convert more shuttle/church buses. They are a perfect size, not too big that you can’t maneuver them easily, and not too small that you don’t have enough floor space and storage inside. I see lots of step, box and high top vans - just rarely one of these. The layout and decor are just beautiful. Nice job young lady!
@@aussican Don't know why they were designed to be so inefficient. I guess because taxpayers are footing the gas bill for schools. Big heavy clumsy engines, tough to turn in spaces, totally wrong for city living, and you cannot drive them far either for travel due to astro gas costs. The only use for a school bus is as a hippie beach pad for surfers or pot smokers who park in some scenic spot for months. Nice and roomy but useless in every other way. Ditto for Ambulances and Fire Trucks. Mileage in an ambulance can be 4 - 7 miles per gallon! Ambi's are smaller but have loads of built in outside and inside storage in stainless steel. Very nicely built. You can buy one for $3 - $5K at auctions. Unless the mpg is improved, also useless as a van. Building out a van is a HUGE job, like building a house. Investing your time on a cheap inefficient vehicle is like sewing a party dress out of cheap fabric. Waste of materials and time. Get a van that is easy to turn in the city, decent mileage, stealth low profile, compact for parking, and can zoom on the highways, not lumber like a slow truck. You also need load carrying capacity. In some cargo vans like the Transit, they are built for loads in the back. So they are very bouncy when no load, then after build, they are well balanced. Ford Transit is currently my van of choice beating the Mercedes Sprinter and the NV200 and the Dodge Promaster.
Lass-in Angeles - I’ve read that the high top transit has one of the best gasoline mpg’s and the highest interior height as well. Good for me since I’m a very tall gal and have much taller relatives and friends. I’d choose a Transit over a Sprinter or Promaster if I were to do a self build (which may happen one day).
I wish you had shown how you shut it down for the night. Like for privacy from the outside etc etc. maybe in future videos! Either way beautiful home!!❤️❤️❤️
@@LavenderMoonSpaces i was just thinking some blackout curtains or the pull downs for privacy but i love how the tints on the bus allows you to still get sun in at daytime but still with privacy!!!!. Ive been looking at sprinters and stealth vans and never thought of a shuttle but this is actually perfect for what i want to do with my space. I intend on working while travelling ( i sew make accessories and crochet swimwear ) so i wanted to create a little sewing space. Your "closet" concept would be the perfect thing for me maybe with a pull out table. This is very inspiring i will be following your channel hope u dont mind me using a little inspiration from this
Lavender Moon Spaces hey if you don’t mind...what is the size of the shuttle? what do you estimate was the cost of the bus and the build? My daughter is 6ft could she raise the roof 20inches and it still clear tunnels? What part would you consider giving up for a full bathroom? what company helped with this build? Most important, did you need a CDL to drive the shuttle bus? She’s looking to get one her junior year of college so we are on the investigation trail NOW?
@@tinaprettyman-silva2714 She very quickly said the shower was also the bathroom. I can only surmise she has a small portable toilet that fits in the shower space but didn't include it in the video.
this is absolutely beautiful. especially love the large windows surrounding the bed and all the natural light which makes the small space look so open.
EXQUISITE Layout & Style! Oh my gosh.... I would TOTALLY love to have something like this! I really love that giant counter top that lifts AND covers a top-accessible frig! Genius! Plus that deep sink & great faucet handle.... & all the windows for brightness, the open storage & lighting around the top edge - everywhere, actually...is just SO nice! AMPLE storage (I'd keep all my art supplies in it), a freekin shower (although I'd prefer a bit larger & world give up space elsewhere for it.)

Gloria did a great job designing her beautiful home and explaining the setup and function of the electrical and plumbing aspects. I especially liked the little nook where she stores her table and cutting boards; very clever! Loved it!
@@LavenderMoonSpaces A GREAT GIRLY SPACE! This is the first conversion that I've seen that I corks actually live in. Thank you for the inspiration! -San Francisco fan girl
This is by far my favorite design! And I love the decor too! That it is color neutral to switch it up every so often! My fiance and I are looking to do a conversion in the next few months so I've watched several videos! Started with vans but I realized I don't want to feel closed in and claustrophobic like I am so I considered searching shuttle buses and this has me all aboard! I'm in love!
*Newly Updated Safety Suggestions: for RV lifers, Campers, Hikers, Explorers, Nomadic Life, and Travelers* I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living. Although, I just noticed your UA-cam channel, and other similar channels, displaying van living. I just wanted to remind everyone to Aware Be of your surroundings and Alert, I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc... People need to know what the up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living. I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself. Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this. I feel that you , and others UA-camrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful. I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors. I shared this with several other travelers, as I watched their UA-cam channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others. Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience. Although, you may have knowledge of this already, I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone. *Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle. You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage Do your research for the best fit for you Consider Carrying Several Extra portable cellphone phone chargers, and cables. Consider theses items: *Mini portable power charging station. I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices. *Invest in a Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell signal and reception. Consider also the purchase of a WiFi signal booster to also boost your WiFi signal. Research to see what you prefer. *Very Inportant: Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location. There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating, or camping situations. *Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders. Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone. There are some satellite SOS texting messaging, locator devices that will send messages with your phone even if there isn’t any cellular signal, or WiFi. With this device your can still text, and communicate with others in a emergency satellite transmission. Check online, for various emergency SOS products, some are small to fit in the palm of your hand. You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you. *Mini portable vehicle battery jumper charger *vehicle battery jumper cables *Vehicle Jumper cables *PLEASE BE AWARE* that in the *WINTER* *vehicle *Batteries fail* many times in very cold weather conditions. Vehicle batteries drain more often in the winter months. Please Keep a vehicle battery portable jumper pack, this is a device that can jumper or boost your vehicles battery yourself without another vehicle. If you have a older battery in your vehicle, Please have it tested or replace it, and consider the purchase a new vehicle battery with higher Cold Cranking Amps rating. Be Aware that Sometimes even a battery that is a few years old can fail in the Winter months, and extremely cold temperatures. Some alternatives to Winter Camping, Travelers, Explorers, etc, if you can find a Warmer Climate Location to stay during Extreme Winter months, or stay with family for a few weeks. Another alternative is renting somewhere although this can probably get expensive. What ever you decide Be Careful, Alert, Aware, Safe, and Informed... *Keep a Fire extinguisher handy *Smoke detectors, and Carbon monoxide detectors can be helpful Keep a First Aid kit with Bandages, antiseptic, and other first aid necessities etc. and good vitamin supplementation, and fluids that promote hydration. Consider installing; *Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly. *Exterior vehicle mounted camera for the front, rear, and both sides of your vehicle. Some can be activated by motion, Including spotlights. *Interior vehicle cameras *Flashlights or pluggin spotlights *Portable spotlights, and lanterns Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console *Keep a Sound horn, for hiking this can service, as a deterrent, and a emergency signal alert for others. *A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, to communicate with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies, you can keep with you when hiking. Use your own discretion regarding the use carrying of any weapons. Don’t forget to bring Bear Spray Pepper spray Where is allowed Purchase a couple canisters just in case and keep it with you If you own a drone you can use it to survey your area for animals etc. However, Please Be Safe and Beware of your Surroundings. Stay Alert, and Be Safe even when stopping at Rest stops, Truck Stops, and conducting your various tasks. Keep in often contact with your family, friends etc. Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions. *VERY IMPORTANT* *WINTER AWARENESS* I would suggest *NOT* to travel to locations without internet, or cellular service in the Winter, the reason is that weather conditions can change very quickly, and you absolutely DO NOT want have a vehicle break down, or malfunction, or emergency, and not have the availability to communicate, and contact your family, and or, emergency road assistance, or emergency services. Please Keep in mind that even in area where there is cellular service and internet, in the Winter sometimes there are ice storms that may occur and this can cause Power or Electrical failures, until utilities crews repair lines. *Your Safety is Important* *PLEASE BE AWARE* that in some extreme cold temperatures that vehicle fuel lines could Freeze and causing a vehicle to not start. Just in case Keep your gas tank filled, which helps prevent vehicle fuel lines from freezing. Keep gas or fuel line additive, or gas line antifreeze, that is rated to use okay for your vehicle. Check with your a certified mechanic and your vehicle owners manual, and or dealer repair facility to inquire what is best to prevent freezing gas tank and lines in extreme cold. In the Winter even your bottled Water can freeze so Be Careful and Plan ahead. *Safety is Paramount* *Your Life is Important* *You want to Live to Travel another Day* *So Be Safe* *Stay Alert* *Keep your vehicle gas filled* Don’t ride on fumes, or on Empty. Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty. Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on. Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, antifreeze coolant, Please carry extra (oil)(washer fluid), (brake fluid), (antifreeze). You will need extra Winshield Washer fluid because of the ever changing Weather conditions, dustly roads, especially in slushy wet roads. *WINTER AWARENESS* In the winter consider purchasing and deicing Windshield Washer Fluid, for the much colder weather conditions. Furthermore, you will need extra Windshield Washer Fluid, Because you will Be driving more often in dusty, dirty, windy, and varying weather conditions. Your windshield will gather dust and debris from long term driving. Also, Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set at a home base, friends or family’s house to rotate later on, also make sure that you have a spare tire in your vehicle. Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very. Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump. Electric, Portable tire pump. Keep towing insurance to Be Safe if you ever need it. It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling. Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors. Keep Enjoying Yourself, Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature Just..Please continue to Be Positive, Safe, and Alert.. Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All. God Bless You, and everyone Traveling, or living in their vehicles, Vans, RVs, Hiking etc. Please Be Safe..... God Be With You.....

This is the most amazing build I have seen to date. I love this setup and love all the natural light and windows opens everything up so much. I would love to have this same build in a 4 wheel drive. And what a beautiful young lady she is too. May you enjoy a happy life living in your amazing build.
You are special, in a good way. Your home is beautiful, your dogs are also. Wishing you all the good fortunes out there. Be safe and happy. Peace and love.
One of the BEST ever!!! ✌ I love that the inside is where more of the money is spent. I would look at duplicate this exactly the same way!! 100%!! The lightness and colors. The butcher block, sink, storage!!! All amazing!! Thank you for sharing!!
One of my favorite builds ever. Young lady you have good taste 👍 I love the neutral tones and like you say you can change your entire environment with a few pillows, towels and blankets. Stay safe and love life
She explains everything so well... you can tell she has her head wrapped around the entire layout of this bus, from the technical elements to design elements. A smart human.
Every inch of the bus means a lot...and has a good purpose. I am so impressed how she was able to produce such an awesome video with such a tiny motor home. Totally love this !
Hands down, the best conversion I've seen in a while. I love the use of a shuttle van, big enough inside but small enough for parking and driving. I definitely want a shuttle bus.
you must've worked in restaurant ,. the magnetic knife rack, and the sink with the industrial style valve to switch between sprayer and sink. it's so much better, i always said, once i own a place, i'm definitely gonna have that type of sink and faucet sink. its so much better
no o Hello Beautiful. I have had series of unfortunate events (love that movie) prohibiting production. We should be back in the swing of things soon. I hope to be a traveling artist within the next few years. 😉
Honestly the design is so beautiful it looks better than most apartments I've been in! Great job! & $35k is a steal! Gorgeous, chill and very talented girl! Inspiring work!
I am very impressed on how you did your home! Out of all the tours I have seen on buses your was the best by far. The shower, with toilet. All that storage space. The refrigerator, the decorating! You did an outstanding job! Best of luck to you!
You need to take care of that security right away. I'm hoping you've already done so. You are a beautiful young woman traveling alone. Please take appropriate measures to provide for your safety!
I don't normally bother with commenting, but I find myself unable to resist adding my two cents here: THANK YOU, for being someone who actually knows how to do plumbing correctly! (I don't care if you did it yourself, or had someone else do it. It's just finally nice to see someone do it the right way.) Also, the bus looks great. Nicely done! And yes, I will shamelessly admit that when I eventually build out my own bus, I'll be "borrowing" a few of your design ideas. :)
I’m not doing a shuttle bus conversion (doing a truck camper), but for the past 6 months, I’ve watched a million videos on the subject. This one is, hands down, by a mile, the best I’ve ever seen
This is the perfect build! I just love it! Everything you need with lots of storage and space. And it’s even better that you can fit the vehicle into a regular parking spot. I love it! Well done! ❤️💯
I absolutely love how her home looks so beautiful yet she is so conscious of how much energy and water she is using so even though she is driving a shuttle bus on which I presume is gas she still tries to have a positive impact on the environment.
Excellent job girl. I have a class C as my first RV but always liked the shuttle bus. I can see me getting one as my second RV for full time living. Again very smart build and beautiful as well.
"ImPOR-ant" - The implied internal "t" sound seems common around mid-Michigan (home of the "Spar-Ans"). Regional language and pronunciation is fascinating. Your use of available space and the feeling of lightness is the best I've seen in any conversion, especially considering the size of your bus. Subbed.
I’m lost of words... A gorgeous lady gives a tour in her magnificent home bus/RV (or what ever it’s called). Did no one notice the dream catcher? As wonderful this built is, I was hypnotised by those magical eyes. [EDIT] just noticed that this is you YT channel. Just hit your subscribe button
Love your shuttles bus home. How fun and self sufficient at the same time. It looks so cozy and warm. I want one to visit friends and see the USA. Have a great time traveling. God bless you and keep you safe. You’re an amazing woman
*Hello, hello* what a dreamy schoolie ! very nicely done! congratulations ! Greetings from a tiny country in France (Europe) I wish you all the best for you and your lovely animals
Absolutely beautiful! As a small aside, perhaps consider lowering or removing the background music for future videos. It is a bit distracting, but moreso than that, I found it a little tricky to har what you were saying at times over the music. Your bus is incredibly beautiful and well thought-out, and speaks for itself! You don't need no music to try and sell it :-)
You're welcome. I have watched tons of bus builds. i have thought of doing a small bus build myself in the future. I was so impressed with yours. For the small space I am amazed at your build and it's so comfortable looking. I hope you have success in your venture : )
Hi. So happy to have stumbled across your video, I like your thinking re: using light materials with minimal offgasing; most renos I've seen the DIYers don't seem to take that into consideration, especially the added weight of what they're installing. I'm still researching but I really like the idea of a shuttle bus because of all the windows! Happy trails and much success to you.
what a beautiful and lovely home , but several times though i was telling myself its actually a bus conversion ! but it does look like a beautiful home , love the space saving ideas , were all looking for ideas on how to use space more efficiently , this young lady has done well with this conversion
Absolutely beautiful. Well done. The design is perfect. I love it. I’ll be sighing and dreaming of this for some time knowing I’ll never be able to create this beauty in a minivan! But you’ve given me a lot of inspiration.
Maybe it's a bit too early to ask, but is there a possibility that you might want to sell the shuttle bus someday? I would take him immediately. This is the best and most practical conversion I've ever seen. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 💕
Nice to see the Hippie Movement is still alive. You brought back memories that started in the summer of 1969. The year and a half that I lived in a "fixed up" Chevy van & traveled the country. Your rig is WAY BETTER than my van ever was!
It’s a gorgeous build, I’m glad it works perfectly for her! I however could never actually live in a build like this, toooooo many windows! Huge security risk and bad for temp regulation
What a cute young lady. Well thought out space. Love it! Boom, and there we have it, haha. I gave up living in a 26' travel trailer for a small house near my daughters and grands. If I had it to do over again, I'd do something like that. But most of my space would house my giant stash of yarns. : )
Lavender Moon Spaces - True. That's where I stored mine, as well as under the couch and dinette benches before I took them out. I can't beat the rent where I am now though haha. : ) And I'm in a spot where I can just bug in if need be. : )
I love love love this bus !!! I love everything in it. Very nicely done. This is the second bus I would do if I could live in one. May GOD BLESS YOU AND BE SAFE.
"WHERE"S THE TOILET??" QUESTION ANSWERED !

Your design is amazing. It's clean, well laid out, simple, yet has literally everything you could ever need in a private space. WELL DONE!
I’ve been watching conversions for some time and this is one of the best layouts I’ve ever seen.
You have done such a great job on your bus.

Rebecca G. Day I thought the exact same thing! Ha!
First time I've seen a shuttle bus conversion. This is great. Feels spacious.
I think that more people are going to start living out of their vans, etc, because of the high cost of living in some states.
Absolutely!
I'm working on plans currently to live in a van.

*Newly Updated Safety Suggestions: for RV lifers, Campers, Hikers, Explorers, Nomadic Life, and Travelers*
I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living.
Although, I just noticed your UA-cam channel, and other similar channels, displaying van living.
I just wanted to remind everyone to Aware Be of your surroundings and Alert, I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions
I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc...
People need to know what the up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living.
I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself.
Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this.
I feel that you , and others UA-camrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful.
I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors.
I shared this with several other travelers, as I watched their UA-cam channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others.
Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience.
Although, you may have knowledge of this already,
I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone.
*Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle.
You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage
Do your research for the best fit for you
Consider Carrying Several Extra portable cellphone phone chargers, and cables.
Consider theses items:
*Mini portable power charging station.
I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices.
*Invest in a Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell signal and reception.
Consider also the purchase of a WiFi signal booster to also boost your WiFi signal.
Research to see what you prefer.
*Very Inportant:
Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location.
There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating, or camping situations.
*Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders.
Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone.
There are some satellite SOS texting messaging, locator devices that will send messages with your phone even if there isn’t any cellular signal, or WiFi. With this device your can still text, and communicate with others in a emergency satellite transmission.
Check online, for various emergency SOS products, some are small to fit in the palm of your hand.
You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you.
*Mini portable vehicle battery jumper charger
*vehicle battery jumper cables
*Vehicle Jumper cables
*PLEASE BE AWARE* that in the *WINTER*
*vehicle *Batteries fail* many times in very cold weather conditions.
Vehicle batteries drain more often in the winter months.
Please Keep a vehicle battery portable jumper pack, this is a device that can jumper or boost your vehicles battery yourself without another vehicle.
If you have a older battery in your vehicle, Please have it tested or replace it, and consider the purchase a new vehicle battery with higher Cold Cranking Amps rating.
Be Aware that Sometimes even a battery that is a few years old can fail in the Winter months, and extremely cold temperatures.
Some alternatives to Winter Camping, Travelers, Explorers, etc, if you can find a Warmer Climate Location to stay during Extreme Winter months, or stay with family for a few weeks.
Another alternative is renting somewhere although this can probably get expensive.
What ever you decide Be Careful, Alert, Aware, Safe, and Informed...
*Keep a Fire extinguisher handy
*Smoke detectors, and Carbon monoxide detectors can be helpful
Keep a First Aid kit with
Bandages, antiseptic, and other first aid necessities etc. and good vitamin supplementation, and fluids that promote hydration.
Consider installing;
*Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly.
*Exterior vehicle mounted camera for the front, rear, and both sides of your vehicle.
Some can be activated by motion, Including spotlights.
*Interior vehicle cameras
*Flashlights or pluggin spotlights
*Portable spotlights, and lanterns
Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console
*Keep a Sound horn, for hiking this can service, as a deterrent, and a emergency signal alert for others.
*A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, to communicate with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies, you can keep with you when hiking.
Use your own discretion regarding the use carrying of any weapons.
Don’t forget to bring
Bear Spray
Pepper spray
Where is allowed
Purchase a couple canisters just in case and keep it with you
If you own a drone you can use it to survey your area for animals etc.
However, Please Be Safe and Beware of your Surroundings.
Stay Alert, and Be Safe even when stopping at Rest stops, Truck Stops, and conducting your various tasks.
Keep in often contact with your family, friends etc.
Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions.
*VERY IMPORTANT*
*WINTER AWARENESS*
I would suggest *NOT* to travel to locations without internet, or cellular service in the Winter, the reason is that weather conditions can change very quickly, and you absolutely DO NOT want have a vehicle break down, or malfunction, or emergency, and not have the availability to communicate, and contact your family, and or, emergency road assistance, or emergency services.
Please Keep in mind that even in area where there is cellular service and internet, in the Winter sometimes there are ice storms that may occur and this can cause Power or Electrical failures, until utilities crews repair lines.
*Your Safety is Important*
*PLEASE BE AWARE* that in some extreme cold temperatures that vehicle fuel lines could Freeze and causing a vehicle to not start.
Just in case Keep your gas tank filled, which helps prevent vehicle fuel lines from freezing.
Keep gas or fuel line additive, or gas line antifreeze, that is rated to use okay for your vehicle.
Check with your a certified mechanic and your vehicle owners manual, and or dealer repair facility to inquire what is best to prevent freezing gas tank and lines in extreme cold.
In the Winter even your bottled Water can freeze so Be Careful and Plan ahead.
*Safety is Paramount*
*Your Life is Important*
*You want to Live to Travel another Day*
*So Be Safe*
*Stay Alert*
*Keep your vehicle gas filled*
Don’t ride on fumes, or on Empty.
Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty.
Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on.
Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, antifreeze coolant,
Please carry extra (oil)(washer fluid), (brake fluid), (antifreeze).
You will need extra Winshield Washer fluid because of the ever changing Weather conditions, dustly roads, especially in slushy wet roads.
*WINTER AWARENESS*
In the winter consider purchasing and deicing Windshield Washer Fluid, for the much colder weather conditions.
Furthermore, you will need extra Windshield Washer Fluid, Because you will Be driving more often in dusty, dirty, windy, and varying weather conditions.
Your windshield will gather dust and debris from long term driving.
Also, Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set at a home base, friends or family’s house to rotate later on, also make sure that you have a spare tire in your vehicle.
Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very.
Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc
Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump. Electric, Portable tire pump.
Keep towing insurance to Be Safe if you ever need it.
It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling.
Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors.
Keep Enjoying Yourself,
Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature
Just..Please continue to
Be Positive, Safe, and Alert..
Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All.
God Bless You, and everyone
Traveling, or living in their vehicles, Vans, RVs, Hiking etc.
Please Be Safe.....
God Be With You.....

Wow !!! I've never seen such a cozy conversation before girl. You must be sooooo proud of yourself. I LOVE EVERYTHING !!! ♥️♥️♥️
This is the best design I've ever seen! It's so functional yet so beautiful at the same time. I'd live there in a heart beat.
This is the most amazing build I have seen to date. I love this setup and love all the natural light and windows opens everything up so much. I would love to have this same build in a 4 wheel drive. And what a beautiful young lady she is too. May you enjoy a happy life living in your amazing build.
You are special, in a good way. Your home is beautiful, your dogs are also. Wishing you
all the good fortunes out there. Be safe and happy. Peace and love.
One of the BEST ever!!! ✌ I love that the inside is where more of the money is spent. I would look at duplicate this exactly the same way!! 100%!! The lightness and colors. The butcher block, sink, storage!!! All amazing!! Thank you for sharing!!
One of my favorite builds ever. Young lady you have good taste 👍 I love the neutral tones and like you say you can change your entire environment with a few pillows, towels and blankets.
Stay safe and love life
She explains everything so well... you can tell she has her head wrapped around the entire layout of this bus, from the technical elements to design elements. A smart human.
And environmentally responsible too!
Every inch of the bus means a lot...and has a good purpose. I am so impressed how she was able to produce such an awesome video with such a tiny motor home. Totally love this !
One of the best utilized small spaces ever, love it.
Hands down, the best conversion I've seen in a while. I love the use of a shuttle van, big enough inside but small enough for parking and driving. I definitely want a shuttle bus.
This space is so cute yet full of excellent storage space. It has everything and is so well laid out. Thanks for the tour!
you must've worked in restaurant ,. the magnetic knife rack, and the sink with the industrial style valve to switch between sprayer and sink. it's so much better, i always said, once i own a place, i'm definitely gonna have that type of sink and faucet sink. its so much better
michael rea haha yes! I love having the convenience of kitchen devices that serve me well!

Oh Ladybug I just love your little home. I’ve been trying to find a design for almost 5 years. Now I can find my bus and get started. 🤗🥰
Mama Smith this is a little bit random, but I wanted to say, that I really like your art videos and would love to see more of your inspiring videos!
no o Hello Beautiful. I have had series of unfortunate events (love that movie) prohibiting production. We should be back in the swing of things soon. I hope to be a traveling artist within the next few years. 😉
This video was satisfying. She was so organized when she planned this. 🙌🏽
Clean, Neat, Pretty and Cheap. Winning, Winning, . This is so pretty , I wish I had one. Survival and luxury at the same time. I like it.
Honestly the design is so beautiful it looks better than most apartments I've been in! Great job! & $35k is a steal! Gorgeous, chill and very talented girl! Inspiring work!
Thanks !
This is the best designed rig I have seen, and beautiful as well.
This was a 20 minute video but it felt like 5 minutes.
So entertained! ^u^
This bus is legit awesome! Everything is well thought out and planned. Great job!
fantastic job. This girl is genius! Obviously not for everyone, but this suits her needs perfectly.
Cute shower. Nice to have! Good idea butcher block over fridge. Cute kitch tile. Cute sitting area! Bedroom. Great use of space! big windows, bright!
I am very impressed on how you did your home! Out of all the tours I have seen on buses your was the best by far. The shower, with toilet. All that storage space. The refrigerator, the decorating! You did an outstanding job! Best of luck to you!
This is nice. What about the insulation and security with the doors.
N A insulation is spray foam and I don’t have any special security features on doors although I have some ideas and plan to secure more in future
Best security is a loaded 9 mm!
The Doggie❤❤is a good security alarm I bet🐶🐕❤❤
You need to take care of that security right away. I'm hoping you've already done so. You are a beautiful young woman traveling alone. Please take appropriate measures to provide for your safety!
@@LavenderMoonSpaces Look into security film, it makes most glass virtually entry film
Who ever gave this a thumbs down has no no forehead. 😀 Her video is great.
I don't normally bother with commenting, but I find myself unable to resist adding my two cents here: THANK YOU, for being someone who actually knows how to do plumbing correctly! (I don't care if you did it yourself, or had someone else do it. It's just finally nice to see someone do it the right way.) Also, the bus looks great. Nicely done!
And yes, I will shamelessly admit that when I eventually build out my own bus, I'll be "borrowing" a few of your design ideas. :)
I’m not doing a shuttle bus conversion (doing a truck camper), but for the past 6 months, I’ve watched a million videos on the subject.
This one is, hands down, by a mile, the best I’ve ever seen
This is the perfect build! I just love it!
Everything you need with lots of storage and space. And it’s even better that you can fit the vehicle into a regular parking spot.
I love it! Well done! ❤️💯
I absolutely love how her home looks so beautiful yet she is so conscious of how much energy and water she is using so even though she is driving a shuttle bus on which I presume is gas she still tries to have a positive impact on the environment.
These could save us from zombie apocalypse, kidding aside. 😂 I just love this masterpiece, wish I could stay there for good. 🤗
Excellent job girl. I have a class C as my first RV but always liked the shuttle bus. I can see me getting one as my second RV for full time living. Again very smart build and beautiful as well.
Ok I’ve been watching van conversion videos for the past few days and your home is by far my favorite! You did an amazing job from start to finish. 🙌🏽
Easily one of the nicest and practical van builds I’ve seen
Love it, and your rescue dog too.
"ImPOR-ant" - The implied internal "t" sound seems common around mid-Michigan (home of the "Spar-Ans"). Regional language and pronunciation is fascinating. Your use of available space and the feeling of lightness is the best I've seen in any conversion, especially considering the size of your bus. Subbed.
Go Green! Go White!
I’m lost of words... A gorgeous lady gives a tour in her magnificent home bus/RV (or what ever it’s called). Did no one notice the dream catcher?
As wonderful this built is, I was hypnotised by those magical eyes.
[EDIT] just noticed that this is you YT channel. Just hit your subscribe button
I need to say that this is one of my favorite vans/buses I've seen. The size is perfect.
Best conversion for a single person EVER!
Thank you 🙏😊
WOW! Great video and you knew right off hand this young lady knows her stuff! Enjoyed watching!
Joyce Henderson thanks !
TFS May be the best build I’ve seen to date!
One of the best shuttle vans conversions...practical, and beautiful
Love your shuttles bus home. How fun and self sufficient at the same time. It looks so cozy and warm. I want one to visit friends and see the USA.
Have a great time traveling. God bless you and keep you safe. You’re an amazing woman
This girl is so beautiful and cool. Great space, well thought out.
*Hello, hello* what a dreamy schoolie ! very nicely done! congratulations !
Greetings from a tiny country in France (Europe) I wish you all the best for you and your lovely animals
Absolutely beautiful!
As a small aside, perhaps consider lowering or removing the background music for future videos. It is a bit distracting, but moreso than that, I found it a little tricky to har what you were saying at times over the music.
Your bus is incredibly beautiful and well thought-out, and speaks for itself! You don't need no music to try and sell it :-)
I keep seeing better built vans almost weekly show up on youtube. Good layout, looks very comfortable to live in.
I love everything about this woman. Beautiful inside and out. The bus fits her personality perfectly. Well done. Love it!
Gorgeous! Well thought out and genius use of space. One of the better designed small buses I have seen.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support.
You're welcome. I have watched tons of bus builds. i have thought of doing a small bus build myself in the future. I was so impressed with yours. For the small space I am amazed at your build and it's so comfortable looking. I hope you have success in your venture : )
Hi. So happy to have stumbled across your video, I like your thinking re: using light materials with minimal offgasing; most renos I've seen the DIYers don't seem to take that into consideration, especially the added weight of what they're installing. I'm still researching but I really like the idea of a shuttle bus because of all the windows! Happy trails and much success to you.
Sweet Lavender thank you 🙏😊 yes off gassing was definitely taken into consideration for this small space
Beautiful beautiful bus! Wow! Essential oils should be kept as low as possible. Heat ruins them. So gorgeous
what a beautiful and lovely home , but several times though i was telling myself its actually a bus conversion ! but it does look like a beautiful home , love the space saving ideas , were all looking for ideas on how to use space more efficiently , this young lady has done well with this conversion
Well by far the most simple and clean lay out I've seen that I would love to own myself. You did a great job.
This is a great shuttle bus design. I like your use of partial walls.
Thanks so much! I was going to put a full wall but ended up changing it last minute and a so happy I did.
@@@LavenderMoonSpaces Brilliant idea - it's so much better than it would have been with full walls!
I'm amazed! It's so beautiful, practle and we'll thought out! I'll bet she's going to get request to build one for others!
You, ur van n ur life everything is so beautiful
Great design. Happy to hear that you are so environmentally conscience. And living the dream at such a young age.
Absolutely beautiful. Well done. The design is perfect. I love it. I’ll be sighing and dreaming of this for some time knowing I’ll never be able to create this beauty in a minivan! But you’ve given me a lot of inspiration.
The physical and narrative flow was easy to follow and listen to, that was professional level . Good job . Hmmm , but the music maybe not.
Yeah, that music was a tad too loud.
Maybe it's a bit too early to ask, but is there a possibility that you might want to sell the shuttle bus someday? I would take him immediately. This is the best and most practical conversion I've ever seen. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 💕
polly von minckwitz yes actually ! I will be putting this up for sale soon 😊
Lavender Moon Spaces how come??
@@victoriadavis7034 to build another cool van?
@@LavenderMoonSpaces beautiful conversion but why are you selling?
@@dustyblue2ify I am guessing this is a way to make a living and sustain herself in this lifestyle
Nice to see the Hippie Movement is still alive. You brought back memories that started in the summer of 1969. The year and a half that I lived in a "fixed up" Chevy van & traveled the country. Your rig is WAY BETTER than my van ever was!
She fit so much into this bus. It's so cozy, but open at the same time.
Light and airy, the windows make it livable 🐈
It’s a gorgeous build, I’m glad it works perfectly for her! I however could never actually live in a build like this, toooooo many windows! Huge security risk and bad for temp regulation
Fabulous job, and very well thought out. Love the neutral colors, and the amazing amount of natural light throughout the bus.
Again, FABULOUS!
What a cute young lady. Well thought out space. Love it! Boom, and there we have it, haha. I gave up living in a 26' travel trailer for a small house near my daughters and grands. If I had it to do over again, I'd do something like that. But most of my space would house my giant stash of yarns. : )
AnnWith APlan aw thank ya ! You could definitely store plenty of that under the bed 😊
Lavender Moon Spaces - True. That's where I stored mine, as well as under the couch and dinette benches before I took them out. I can't beat the rent where I am now though haha. : ) And I'm in a spot where I can just bug in if need be. : )
Major props to cameraman that shot of all the overhead storage was so clean. It was like asmr for my eyes. 3:08
Nice way she got Set up in bus its very liveable . Looks cozy to lay out just nice
Love the bus, I want to live there. And love your style, you're so cute!
I love this !!! Beautiful home ! I can’t wait to do mines 🌸
Now that was the cutest bus home Ive seen. I Love the amount if storage, outlets, and that bed. Great job👍👍😀😀😀💗💗💗
I love love love this bus !!! I love everything in it. Very nicely done. This is the second bus I would do if I could live in one. May GOD BLESS YOU AND BE SAFE.
