- How I bought a double decker bus and converted it in five years time into an RV. See how I did all that in 20 steps. I got a lot of questions about the bus, so I made a FAQ on my website. Read it here: sites.google.com/site/bigbusz...
We did a full interior tour of the bus, that video is here: • Double decker RV - ful...
If you want to know the cost of the whole project, that is in this video: • Double Decker RV - Sea...
More photos of the bus are to be found in this Google Photos folder:

The old sketch when you dubbed "when my wife finds out how much that engine was" I got a good chuckle. The truth behind that one is very real.
William Crook Me too. Hubby asked what I was laughing at and I showed him and he got a good chuckle too
That was THE most professionally fitted bus I've ever seen that wasn't done in a factory. Amazing attention to details. Awesome.
He is a legend! hands-down!!
Most factory buses aren't as good as you think
Where do you park this bitch?
After working in the RV industry in Canada for over 16 years as a mechanic and service manager I have to say that the work you did is fantastic. Comparable with any of the Phaeton or Monaco busses I saw or worked on. WELL DONE!!
Buses. not busses
This video is 4 years old and this living legend right here is still hearting comments to this day
I love that you kept seats in front on the top deck, bet the kids love that.
You are so right. These seats are the reason why I always am left alone, downstairs, steering.
me too,
awww lol poor thing! have you seen that one RV that can be steered from the deck upstairs??? i can find a link if no
thought the same myself!
@@NomadicGearhead Jeremy Clarkson in The Grand Tour, no?
If you do it his way, you might need some "help" to stop the bus, haha...
I want to thank all of you for the lovely reactions! I'm very glad many people like what I did. Actually, I'm a bit overwhelmed by the attention; the video was viewed over 100.000 times in one single day, and I have been busy constantly, only answering all of your questions.
The most asked question is 'how much did it cost?' This is a very difficult question, which I might once answer in a next video, but I will not answer directly. Sorry about that, I can imagine you would like to know. Just to give an idea: it was more than 50.000 euro, and less than 150.000 - of course apart from the hours I put in to it. Yes, that's a wide range, but for now you have to do with that, I hope you understand...
You all have a nice day, I wish you the best!
Onrust! I really like this. The only thing I might have done differently. I probably would have used the the lower deck for sleeping and the upper as living and viwing.
So simply, how much did you pay for just the original coach? -Before the fun$ began?
Googlesux Bigtime for emergency purposes? or just the view?
Onrust! Hoeveel kosten het in totaal?
specialsmithchick For the view while travaling, and while just siting around, where there might be a great view.
Security or safty wise, I don't think it makes a difference.
This is one of the coolest double decker bus conversations, awesome job making blueprints and having it turn out exactly how you wanted it
This. This is how these kind of videos should be made. Caption screens, music that times with the content. Informative, brief and to the point. Bravo. I love the idea and the project. I would love this same thing in my life, with office space where the kids bunks were.
The only thing I don't like is that it's not mine.
Cool

dude wanna make one? that's a lot of space for one person to live in...
I'm lost for words, you did an absolutely amazing job on this.
Wauw, ik heb je filmpjes nu meermaals bekeken en heb 1000 ideeën! Thnx man! Echt respect voor wat jij/jullie gecreëerd hebben.💪👍
Great project. I thought about doing similar one day, but you have done it! Great design and attention to details. Probably one of the best motor homes in the world!
5 years in 12 minutes. That is some fast timelapsing you've got there :^)
Turned out really well though, well done!
5 years... Take a look at the description! :)
Are you a genius ? Your bus is beyond words. Stunning is an understatement. It's just beyond words.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. My genius also tells me when people are exaggerating... ;-)
Onrust! I dunno, I agree with 3G Mom
Onrust! he's not exaggerating. amazing
Absolutely genius, spending 150k on an rv, and getting to do all the labour. There are suckers who pay that much for rigs that just work and come with warranties. There are some other geniuses on here you would probably enjoy researching, check out the flat earth guys, or anything from Alex Jones.
John Smithington as good as this is. you can get really good rv's for 150k far better than this
I can't even imagine affording this project, much less doing it. Amazing.
The Laurel and Hardy were funny as heck to me. I burst out laughing. You got me on those.
Apology upfront for some viewers. Within minutes I received a warning from a US forum after I tried to post this video there: 'Community Rules Violation - warning Ron, Your video contains the abbreviation "WTF". This is not allowed by the rules of iRV2'
So let all of you who may be offended be warned: there are the three letters WTF in this video!
Onrust! WTF,are you serius?
Yes. A moderator of the forum IRV2.com is holding back this video from the members, because of the letters 'WTF' in it.
Tell them WTF means Wonderful Transportation Fun !
Member announcement *** WTF = What The Fruitcake *** sorted
Surely the Americans have bigger problems...
What movie clips did you use for your video? I wan't to watch it, it's quite funny. :)
Title should be how to make a double decker bus into the best tiny house ever in just 20 steps
WOW WOW WOW I’m shocked at this
TINY? Lol! Looks pretty large to me!
Note; they are big steps, so caution should be used in taking to mind you are just 20 steps from this result. Starting with just removing all those seats that did not walk themselves out of the bus. And that's just warming up.
Absolutely brilliant build. Such great planning and attention to detail. Most of all, brilliantly edited video as well. Great stuff mate!
Awesome professional video? nice music? entertaining sense of humor?
Am i in heaven already?
bleach wtf?
bleach if you had one dollar for every time someone told you to drink yourself I'm pretty sure you'd be able to afford a bus like this lol.
I don't know why this was in my recommandations, but I'm glad it was. Very nice job btw
Same here..
Same
Same here 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice work! I remodeled the interior of a 28 foot, 1970 Silver Streak travel trailer while I was living in it! I used FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) on the curved parts. It has two finishes, one was smooth and shiny, the other had a pebble texture and was shiny. I went with the pebble texture, it looked great! One nice feature that I installed that you don't see in RV's is "touch" lighting. I was going to have problems routing wires for the wall mounted lighting to the switches on the opposite side, beside the door, so I used touch lamps. I liked them so much I installed more in the rest of the RV later. Keep up the good work!
I love these builds, it means people have a real chance of affordable housing, the only downside is the lack of an address, but as a camping or holiday vehicle, excellent
😂 you're probably looking at €100k+ for a thing like that, not even mentioning the cost of gas, some kind of house would be cheaper
@@alainportant6412 have you seen the cost of houses these days. $100 k is affordable housing in today's market.
That's the whole idea!! Off the grid with no address, total freedom!!
You could get a p.o.box or have mail sent to mail place like FedEx for a monthly fee to have yiur mail sent amd stored there. Something like that
This thing is insane! Love it. Someone should manufacture and sell these.
They kinda do, there are all kinds of awesome Moterhomes and RVs available. But it's true, I can't really think of any actual double decker RVs that are mass produced.
👍
That's probably why he bought it, is to restore and resell
Can be yours for like 178k Euros
Only a handful of people around the world are willing to pay insane money to own these mammoth double-decker RVs. And when they do, they will buy brand new vehicles rather than spending $$$ on second or third hands.
U are an engineer
U are an electrician
U are a mechanic
U are an interior designer
And what else?!?

Sitting here at 1:30am in Toronto wondering how some people are so gifted and creative. All I do is sit at the desk behind a computer and order a coffee.
Moj Boże, myślałem że jak rano zobaczyłem autobusana, z Wojtkiem i , przepraszał ale nie będę szukał imienia, "starym", to już będzie wszystko co wspaniałe na dzisiaj. Myliłem się na szczęście, subik, podziwiam żoneczkę za wyrozumiałość i cierpliwość, autora za... " za wszystko", oglądam jak inni spełniają "moje marzenia". Serdecznie pozdrawiam z Katowic ♥️
This is outstanding!!! It looks so professional- you definitely should have been an interior designer. I love this style and wish you all the best!!!
I never would have thought that this video would be good for a million views in under a week time!! Thank you so much, and in particular for all the kind words! In the replies to all of your questions I was so often repeating myself, that I made a FAQ in English. You can find it on my website here: sites.google.com/site/bigbuszz/faq---english
Check out the FAQ if the answer on the question you might have is in there too. Some of the questions:
- How much was the bus? And how much money did you put in?
- What on earth gave you the idea to buy a bus?
- How heavy is the bus now? How much weight did you add to it? Did you have to watch out for adding too much weight?
- What's the fuel consumption?
- You told you had an expert check the bus before you bought it. Didn't he say anything about the engine? Then how got it broken?
- Why a double decker in the first place?
- Who are you? Are you some kind of architect? How did you get the knowledge and experience to be able to build this?
- What are your plans with it? Will you sell?
Onrust! Wow this is the best BUS-RV remodel I've ever seen!!! How old are your kids and how much was the engine? Great job!
And you only make 20,00€ a year which is equivalent to 21,227 US dollars? That is below the poverty line?
My boys are 14 and 15 yo. Thanks!
My point was that even with a modest income, you can save some money, with which you can fulfill your dreams.
Onrust! looks so awesome i want to have it
Holy shit this is the most gorgeous streamline modern bus/ home I love all the details I love the ambience lighting in the ceiling I love all the detailing and trim! Gorgeous!!!!!!
As a diesel tech, namely a Detroit Diesel diesel tech, I get to work on a lot of coaches and RV's and have dreamed of this very same project. Ya'll did a great job!
I really don't know why some peoples dislike this video..the bus looked awesome..private cruiser...great job...
Those who can't afford have simply casted their votes. Lol
People dislike cuz they cant afford to do the same.
@@ToTinTan haha...true...
@@alexisamtosta agreed
Selvamtamil Selvamtamil it is haters!)They like nobody and nothing)I can't agree with 5000 dislikes too!)
Cool. I won't ask what was your final cost for everything, but don't crash your bus/RV after all that.

When you did the tables as doors I kept watching.... I'm impress. Thanks for sharing this fun video
What a stunning result. I hope you enjoy this luxurious vehicle
Thank you!
Onrust! Very impressive nice piece of work and very luxurious looking on the inside nicely done my hat off to you sir don't stop what you love doing.
Onrust! hope you have fun but don't crash it ;)
a bus that makes so many real homes look shabby, a beautiful job you have every right to be proud of your work!
The only thing better than your bus is the sound track in this video. Both are exquisite. Congratz on a job well done.
Просто челюсть отвисла!
Шедевр, одним словом👏👏👏
Hope you can make an in depth walkaround video of your bus. I guess a lot of people will be interested to see this.
Working on that, shot half of the raw videos for that this Wednesday. Stick with me.
I offer you a LAUREL and HARDY handshake for all the work you put in.
This video remains one of my go-to videos for inspiration and motivation, and you've done a great job in your conversion. (I want to do a similar conversion using a Leyland or a Bristol Lodekka bus.) Thank you for sharing it with us. :)
Excellent! How incredibly awesome 😎 and the background music, perfect touch 🙂 I’ve recently been considering a tiny house but the more thought I give I’m leaning towards an RV so I can go whenever and wherever I’d want. Thank you 😊 for making my tiny dream a more viable, huge and visible possibility, you guys are the best 🤩
Your bus converversion is so amazing and so far the best that I have ever seen. The Laurel and Hardy parts brought tears of laughter LOL using them to take part is also just amazingly entertaining. I am 71 years old and I used to watch them whenever our TV worked. Just my opinion sure the new engine was expensive but to think you have a brand new power plant that is much more reliable - efficient and probably more powerful to me would be worth it. But of course I didn't have to pay for it. The outsourcing you did on the few things made perfectly good sense to me of course again I didn't have to pay for it. I could see myself purchasing a RV like yours if they were built here in the U.S. I don't lack the monies to purchase one, I just have not found one that is totally unique so different like the one you built. Most anyone that can afford a bus here in the states have a limited one to chose from and I want something unique like yours.
Thank You so much for sharing you are one very gifted person. Your skills are second to no one else's I have seen. I own a boat building company and I know talent when I see it and I just have in your video. Cheers
Installing a new power plant into old rusty whatever-you-got never makes sense.
There always has to be someone to rain on every parade NGC1433.
You did an excellent job. First diy home bus that looks really professional and "homey".
Это реально лучший дом на колесах на шасси автобуса из всех что доводилось видеть. Мощное и мягкое шасси, просторный двухэтажный кузов и очень продуманная планировка. По-доброму завидую. Удачи!
This is the future for many Americans that cannot afford to buy a home. Nothing wrong with owning a motor home. Very nicely done!!!
Dude that was focken amazing!
After finishing this beautiful masterpiece, do you even use your house anymore? It just looks amazing, I'm impressed!
the best setup ive seen yet, the bedroom and bathroom setup is amazing
Amazing work done here! The dutch camping car mastering in action ;-) I like "The night watch" reproduction in the sleeping room.
Fantastic job .You are certified crazy.
I am, I am..
I'll take that as a compliment - thanks!
A compliment it was meant .Good day and good luck sir.
Onrust! this is the first video i watched and your crazy but EPIC
Joe Mulgrew this is a dream it has since I was 7 and now I'm 11
I am mightily impressed. For those giving thumbs down? Well your petty jealousy says it all. Very practical for Holland and many European countries but you would struggle around the wilder places such as the Scottish Highlands. If found it hard in places with an average coachbuilt motorhome but that doesn't stop me admiring your achievement. Well done.
Getting it to the UK in the first place would be the tricky part, you would never fit that on a Eurostar carriage, and I reckon a ferry would charge you through the nose.
Rob Fraser ferry probably wouldn't charge you alot at all, my family once went to sweden on a ferry from Köln, Germany and our car got designated to the bus/truck level. We had a storage thing on the roof of our car (don't know how you call it in English) which made it higher than other cars. We did pay the normal price in spite of the designation of our car.
Rob Fraser and the carriages from france to the uk can also hold busses, I had a school trip to the UK in a bus, though it was only a single level bus. Coming off the train I do reckon I saw some double deckers there as well so I guess they fit too.
Boss is an understatement this is a class act home
Je viens de découvrir votre projet. C'est tout simplement magnifique. Beaucoup de patience, beaucoup de gouts et d'ingéniosité. Bravo !
10/10 project.
do you have tour plans already?
5 jaar werken aan een bus, vooral weekenden en vakanties neem ik aan.
Fantastische plannen (ik neem aan Sketchup ervoor gebruikt?) en heel gedetailleerd in beeld gebracht met prima begeleidende teksten. Behoorlijk wat toewijding voor een camper on steroids.
Petje af voor dit project. Het is duidelijk een werk van passie. Er zijn velen die dromen van het bouwen hiervan om het uiteindelijk mee te nemen op wereldreis of iets soortgelijks.
Als een verkoper aangeeft 'er moet alleen wat kleine dingetjes aan gebeuren' gaan bij mij direct alle alarmbellen loeien. Want als het echt alleen maar klein was, had de persoon het echt wel gedaan/ laten doen. Een motorrevisie is echter bepaald niet klein en zeker prijzig bij een bus.
Hoop dat u in de toekomst meer moois publiceert want het is erg inspirerend om deze video's te bekijken. Loop al langere tijd rond met het idee om iets soortgelijks zelf te gaan bouwen maar eerst nog even sparen en goed rondkijken. Daarbij helpt het wel dat ik zelf meer technisch onderlegd ben en bij een opmerking als 'kleine technische mankementen' direct diepgravend onderzoek kan instellen om de oorzaken te achterhalen.
Dank voor uw video, de vele uren opnemen en editen alsmede de het mooie bouwproces prachtig weergegeven. U heeft duidelijk uzelf overtroffen.
Inderdaad, vooral weekenden, en Sketchup, ja. Dankuwel voor de lovende woorden.
Uw video heeft ook Dumpert bereikt. Waarschijnlijk gaat deze wel hoge ogen scoren en zal dit vele malen meer bekijks trekken de komende dagen. Hij gaat met andere woorden viraal.

Onrust! u heeft bijna 700.000 kijkers op Dumpert
DePvdM helemaal mee eens!
Onrust! What language is that
This is definitely the coolest object conversion ive ever seen
This is fantastic. This looks better than most RV’s that sell for the price of a house. I’d love to do this myself when the kids are a little older.
Wow!! So luxurious, you must have spent a fortune!!
LOL @ the "wife engine" sceene i laughed so hard.. thank you for this comedy RV build film :)
Wow!! This is WAY better than a $1.25 million RV by Mercedez-Benz that I saw a UA-cam video of !! Ultrasonic sensor in water tanks!!! This is what I call luxury!! This one, I would gladly pay more than $1.25 million to buy, if I had the money. :) Everything is so thoughtfully designed, so convenient and practical, and with a design that's sleek, clean and elegant.
This is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! Enjoyed every second of this video.
I am almost 13 and I am fascinated about rvs! I always wanted a dibble decker RV instead of a car, my friends say I’m crazy but I’m doing it! This has inspired me! Omg....he favorited my comment... DREAM COME TRUE!!!
And you are crazy

This is beautiful and amazing! The work, the time, the skill, the intelligence and patience. A work of art. Thank you for sharing.
I know to some people this seems like a crazy project, but I think it’s refreshing to see people that think outside the box and do things that inspire them. Whether it’s practical or not.
A fully equipped mobile home. My friend, you made my dreams come true. Congratulations.
Great video and content, loved the L&H clips, well chosen!
Dude I'm literally jealous of you right now. I've always thought of doing this. Now you've brought back my passion.
one day I'll be a father and one day I'll be as handy as you !
now that's the spirit!
Onrust! One word awesome
The highest respect for your amazing skills. The world needs more men like you!
Onrush!!
This was my first visit to your channel and was very excited about the beautiful transformation of the bus!!!
Would love to see the bunk bed that you mention 😴 the place was an absolute palace💯💯
You are a very gifted man!!!
I WISH YOU AND YOUR LOVE ONE,A BEAUTIFUL BLESSED ,
EXCITING JOURNEY!!!
very very nice job, congratulations. on having the time money and skill!!!
My wife says that you forgot to mention 'having the wife'. ;-) Thanks!
Onrust! No, he didn't, having a wife makes part of the item "skill"!
oh yes couldn't have done it without her fro sure!

Impressed and envious at the same time. Well done. If only I had your skills.
There are large, bus based RVs for sale by famous manufacturers in North Americ for mid six figures that aren't anywhere nearly as nicely finished as this is. Great job!
I’m not at the end yet but I’m guessing this costs at least that much
Often with any project the hardest job is getting started, well congrats you finished it. AMAZING.
I have a sneaky suspicion. the previous owner knew the engine was on the way out. But despite having found this after so much conversion, your finished project is well impressive. It's the sort of tour bus musicians might use. I have really good childhood memories, travelling through western Europe in Grandad's Ford Motorhome. Well done Onrust!
Wow! Clever you. The end result is fabulous!
I like the middle spiral stair case, nice job on the remodel.
Fantastic workmanship. Take your creation on tour and charge admission to view it. I would certainly pay to see it up close
Thank you! Someone IN MY BUS made the same suggestion. As I then held my hand out to collect, she was gone... ;-)
Haha... no not even my wife.. someone who asked me about the bus at the truckwash... That was funny; this couple was curious about the inside, so I invited them in. But as they had to take their shoes off, only she came in. Women are so more curious / nosy than men... :-) At the end she suggested asking 5 euros for the tour I just gave her...
Lucky bastard 😄
I always dreamed of having such a bus, since i watched The Osbournes on MTV as a teen in the early 2000s.
I even filled a whole sketchbook with layout concepts and ideas. Congrats for this great work!
Digging the funky and jazzy music big time. Thanks for that.
5:48 Вот это да! Даже текстуру, как в SketchAp сделал. Ну, молодец!
This is the best video I have looked today. Many thanks & greetings from Africa.
A lot of people are curious how a trip with the bus looks like. For those people I made a short video of our last vacation in Germany, Czechia and Austria. You can find that video here: ua-cam.com/video/faUrznxcss8/v-deo.html
yeeeey finally Czech Republic is mentioned somewhere
:-)I even taped a big part of the trip over there.. (from Plzeň to Toužim): ua-cam.com/video/ZctL1J65o5E/v-deo.html

Onrust! Love the bus and top comedy
The music and production reminds me of TV shows from the 1990s when I was a child. The bus looks amazing!
Omg, fabulous, and I loved the video not just the rv.
It almost look like a private jet ✈️
Silly Sausage It's like the Airbus A380 of private of private jets
Hmmm.. ur right small sausage 😎
Nexus5150 don’t like the a380 it’s too big any other airbus or Boeing will do me good for airlines but for cargo you’d wanna go for the MD11-MD11F but I do like the 747-400-747-8 the younger 747s I don’t like the cockpits

Amazing conversion! Well done you are a very handy person and the RV looks amazing
That is so awesome! Perfect 👍 & look at all that room ! That’s the way to travel 🧳!
Impressive work. I love these bus projects people under take. I don't have the balls to even try. Plus, inevitably, what ever bus I buy, the engine will blow and my wife will kill me! I hope you get many years of enjoyment out of her and many more great memories with your kids!
Thanks! To be honest - I upfront asked, and got, permission of her. During 5 years I was in the bus quite a lot - away from home. Now she enjoys the end result even more than I do!
Onrust! thats great, life is always better with an understanding wife!
this video is surprisingly funny with all the laurel and hardy clips hahaha
THIS IS THE MOST PERFECT BUILD EVER , LOVE IT
У вас золотые руки 💪🏽, большой и красивый проект получился . Автобус сказка ❤
Such a cool buildout! I like how you left the two seat at the top front of the bus for the coolest view ever!!
