- In today’s video we feature, Rich and his budget, build DIY school bus camper conversion. This one really shocks me. It is unbelievable how little he spent to make this a very functional RV for him and his wife and his daughter. At the end of the video he asks me to guess how much it cost him to build, and I was way off. What is your guess?

I really appreciate these budget builds. Despite not spending thousands of dollars, Rich has built a functional and still aesthetically pleasing RV. This is inspiring for those of us hoping to do the same. Thanks again, Patrick, for sharing another great build.
Couldn't agree more!
I’m using it right now
I was thinking the same thing.
What kinda camera are you using your video are super crisp
yes,only you know what you need most,lots of thing that we do can make reduce weight,nice info
This guy is fantastic! He has the great old school mentality...why buy when you can repurpose!! Great build. He needs to start a you tube channel of what you can find & converted into something for these bus/van builds. You dont need to spend $100,00 grand to build out a school bus (like so many do which is crazy) to get your exploring started. Why have that crazy amount of debt hanging over you when you want to just break free and go roam.
Great job Sir!! Happy Trails to you & your family! 🐟🦀🐚
ps love the paint job on the outside 💙🐬
Exactly
Well said.
Nicely said
he has a channel! scrapdaddy’s garage
Scrap Daddy’s Garage is a solid citizen ⭐️ This is a fantastic build! Stellar job
this guy is full of common sense. save yourselves a fortune. do what he does.
👍
He really is
How adorable! His daughter is a wonderfully cleverer artist. Brilliant build and it’s so well planned and beautifully executed.
My Daughter Amanda is amazing! We would discuss ideas and She always exceeds my expectations.
Thank you so much!
Amazing and inspirational!!!
I love his daughters artwork, it makes the bus look like a fun and inviting place. The simplicity proves you don’t need to spend a lot of money and the common person can build something like this. I guessed $15-$20,000 the actual price is crazy cheap, good for him!!
My daughter Amanda’s artwork makes the bus extra special. We love it
Thanks Terry
Oh that's cool. Bcoz he used everything from the trash to be something more functional.. Creative. Salam dari Indonesia 😇
If it’s free it’s for me!
Very inspiring
WOW!!!Now this is a great build!!!! Looks really nice. He doesnt have to be paying for it the rest of his life.😊 The new RV's have to much electrical and go in the shop at least once a month if not more. He knows evey inch of his rig if it needs anything. Good for him!🤗🤗🤗
I’m sitting at the beach right now enjoying it. Thanks for sharing
Exactly!!
Rich, I just got back from traveling all around scape Cod in mine. A bus your size would be great on the Cape, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures I watched your bike ride through P Town. Nice to see the lay of the land. You’re great at scoping out the best places!
One of the best budget builds I’ve seen!
Happy you found it Linda
I like these budget builds, because my vans a budget build too. It makes it all relatable.
👍
Makes so much sense
Having an artist in the family really adds to the look of the bus compared to other projects were they didn’t have the artist, so you need to add in artistic cost as well
Oh, good call
Thanks for sharing these great ideas. As a person with a stringent budget but would like to 'get the h*ll out of dodge'/get on the road without selling body parts to do so, these types of videos/ideas are valuable and appreciated. As I've told my kids, I'm to the point of throwing a cot in the back of a skoolie and leaving; it doesn't have to be fancy.
Right on!
I’m using it right now
Rich is my kinda guy.
Mine too
Thanks Amy, I like your thinking.
I have to take my hat off to this gentlemen for a under 7k build. He did this with the cost fo what people pay for just the van alone,
I’m so impressed
Even though it is a budget build, it turned out very nice, clean, and well thought out.
Love the beach theme.
Great job 👍
❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
Thanks so much! 😊
Nice!!!! I like how he reused and recycled the materials. Love the theme.
Me too!
Thanks
Nice little bus that almost anyone could afford to build. Goes to show the "I could never afford it" crowd that they could if they truly wanted too.
I wanted to do this for a while. I got a great-deal at the auction for the bus. The free stuff I got through my friends really helped to keep the costs low. My family loves it.
Very inspiring
This is such a great example of recycling and how with some thought and ingenuity you can repurpose things you may have. Kudos! Thanks for the tour.
Cute opener there, Patrick!
Thank you so much!
I couldn’t afford to do it any other way 👍
Rich. This bus is beautiful. I love the colour scheme and reusing things from old campers makes it that much more unique. You have put a heck of a lot of work into making this bus cosy and beautiful. Enjoy your travels and stay safe.
My Family loves it 👍
Many thanks!
Great job scrap daddy !
Appreciate the support
Thanks
Rich seems like an awesome bloke and so fun. The build is lovely even on a budget . Could defo take inspiration from it 😊
👍
Go for it!
6:00 - I love how he removed his shoes before entering his RV to make sure it’s always clean and tidy. Way to go Dad 🔥
Yes, very Sandy there too
Patrick took his shoes off too, and I didn’t have to ask him!
I like this bus owner. He's just a simple down to earth guy on a budget, not trying to be flashy with a nice little build for the fam to enjoy. Bravo!
Well said!
👍
Solid build, took some notes
Glad it was helpful
I love this build. Far from fancy, but totally functional and affordable.
👍
Very practical
Nicely done. Safe travels. Enjoy
Using it right now!
Thanks, you too!
Galvanized wire for a curtain rod...
INGENIOUS
Great build! Especially love it because you've repurposed. My chicken coop is made out if pallet wood. Saved lots of money
My motto is. If it’s free it’s for Me!
Awesome! Thank you!
Mine too
His daughter did great! This is a terrific starter unit and this guy will learn all about RV-ing on the cheap. A lot of people spend a ton of money finding out all the uninformed decisions they wish they had known before ... well wanting a different RV...
Glad this was helpful
Thanks again Patrick! Just got home from the beach! Barbara and I had a great time meeting you. Absolutely loved your travel guide suggestions went back there again 2 weeks later. The filming process was fun even with bad weather on the horizon, you handled it like a true professional.👍
You are an excellent guest and the build is impressive.
I do admire these guys that are so creative.
Thanks Lynn
Great job! Very cute!
Thank you! Cheers!
Brilliant build! I love it!!!! Way to go!!!!❤❤❤ Jane
Thank you! 🤗
👍
This is an inspiring build. It's nice to know what you can accomplish on a budget. The artwork by his daughter is a beautiful and sentimental touch.
So haply to meet him
👍
What a fun family project! This lovely man displayed much creativity in creating this affordable, yet so cute, adventure mobile! ❤🚌🐙
Thanks. My daughter Amanda’s artwork makes this bus extra special. My family loves it.
Thank you so much!
It’s a really great build gave me a lot of great ideas I would probably consider, even if the bed is removable, putting a moisture barrier under the bed
Cool artwork throughout. It looks really nice! Practical too. I like the storage bins idea instead of drawers.
👍
What an amazing deal on the bus itself, wow!
He really did get a deal
The bus company was closing due to Covid. Timing is everything
Wow, the artwork on the outside is beautiful. They did a really great job repurposing items and making them look nice.
I totally agree!
👍
Really cute build. Absolutely relatable. Love the outside paint and the idea that so much was recycled, found , donated! Perfect. Congratulations. I really miss the Jersey shore points. Haven’t been to Wildwood since I was a kid! Thanks Patrick!
Thanks so much! 😊 Please visit soon
👍
My absolute favorite build of all the vans and Skokie builds I’ve watched! This would actually work for my family as a bus for trips and is affordable. Wonderful!!
Awesome! Thank you!
👍
0:06 mark: What a great idea to get more tours, Patrick! 👍
He did a great job on such a small budget. 👍
Great build! I like the basket idea.
Thank you! Cheers!
$10 online, simple and effective!
@@scrapdaddysgarage5027 My wife loves baskets like those, i just never thought to put them on the bus lol. What engine do you have in yours?
@@buscampers 4.8 liter gasoline v8
@@scrapdaddysgarage5027 I have a duramax in a 2010 skoolie. I cant even fit my hand under the hood lol. How much space are you working with w the 4.8l? I love the mpgs i get w the diesel but working on it stinks.
Is this my uncle Rich? He seems like everybody’s uncle. 😅💕
👍
Guy knows his stuff
"Pulled out Grandma's sewing machine and watched a bunch of UA-cam videos " Awesome 👏
Sailrite has the best sewing videos
👍
Very nice build!
Thanks!
Thanks
Very impressive! The MOST impressive part was teaching himself to sew and then did UPHOLSTERY!
I did the same. Sailrite is the best channel for that
What a lovely guy who is proud of his daughter. Very cozy and clean with great use of repurposed materials. Well done and happy travels!
👍
Thank you very much!
The spongebob bathroom is absolutely baller haha. And wow this guy is so handy and reminds me of my dad in many ways. Great build, great video 🙂
Bikini Bottom is the place to GO! 😂
Awesome! Thank you!
Really nice. Very nice. Another big plus is that unlike a lot of campers it won’t leak and rot and get moldy. Got everything you need, without all the complex water and electric systems.
Right on
This guy.. what a genius. ❤
He is such a good story teller too
Thanks
Wow! Awesome job, ScrapDaddy!!! ❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks
SCRAPDADDY IS A SUPERHERO!!!!!
I can use Grandma’s sewing machine to make a cape 😂
He really is
She's a beauty"
Every thing one could need.
Awesome build and thanx 4 sharing
👍
You bet
I love his resourcefulness! Very creative, functional, and tasteful. Great work!
Thank you very much!
👍
Great job repurposing! Nice simple design. Happy camping!!
Glad you like it!
"I brake for margaritas" same
Love it
Very impressive.
Love the daughters artwork.
Such a fun schoolie.
Great guy.
Would love to have margaritas with he and his wife and my hubby too.
Happy Trails! 🍸🍸
Thank you very much!
Cheers
Loved this video and Rich's perspective on how he built his bus! Great video, great bus!
Glad you enjoyed it!
👍
Was so happy to see this van in person today. What a amazing van
It really is!
Nice meeting you guys.
Your daughter is gifted. Great artwork. This C10 Express is such a cool project and well done.
👍
Thank you very much!
The air conditioner is a good idea. I would consider putting brackets under the air conditioner on the outside, so even though it leans back to drain the water, you don’t have to worry about it moving.
There’s no room under the a/c. The rear door needs to open, I attached heavy metal brackets through the a/c case and bolted them to the bus frame it’s extremely secure. 👍
Loved this build and video. And like you said…it’s attainable to soooo many more people. It’s fab… well done 👏🦊
It really is!
👍
My kind of family. You dont have to be rich to have fun and build a bus! Love all the scraps you used from all ovet! So thrifty!
So true!
Spending less money to have fun makes it more fun!👍
Great Idea with the baskets instead of drawers. Love the build, you are correct function is key. Thank you.
👍
You are so welcome!
Love it. Love it. LOVE it! Practical and beautiful, with a fun beach motif. Kudos to Rich, his wife, and his very talented daughter. 🌴🌊🤙💙💛
👍
Thanks so much!
it might be because im a dad now but i love this bus...reminds me not to overthink all the things i think i need.
👍
Haply you liked this

Wow, thank you!

So glad!😃
I like it. More, more.

Thanks Carter
Very, very, good DIY. You may want to get rigid baskets, those soft sided ones start to collapse .
So far so good
Hi Patrick
Always Enjoy Your Videos.
Nice Build By Rich ..
Glad you like them!
👍
Creative !🙏🇺🇸
Thank you 😊
Awesome!! Id pay him double to build me one!!!😊
👍
You and me both!
Totally amazing build! Love the color scheme too!
Thanks so much!
👍
Great build it is crazy that bus builders want $40,000 or more for a built-out small school bus. Two of his biggest expenses were the fridge and solar power both of which are very nice, but could be done later if your budget was extra tight.
👍
Lots of labor in this one, it’s a labor of love
"it's 5 o'clock somewhere." (?) This was a Great economical build! However, it is so obvious you are American. In Canada, we say,"It's 12 o'clock (noon) somewhere." :) Loved your build!
👍
Ah yes 🙌
If a New Jersey wise guy built a van? This is it. 😂😂
Good job. Very well made for enjoyment.
Thanks, he is not from Jersey.
I’m from Lawnguyland Nu York 😂
