30' School Bus Conversion | Finished

[@GeorgiaIsOnMyMind]

Literally one of the best designs for a school bus tiny home conversion that I've seen. Love the way the back bedroom is to the side leaving a little corridor/hallway that adds so much dimension.

[@patmaier6917]

Very nice and loved the way you showed the design.

[@Tripsolo65]

All I can say, as I first pick my chin up off the floor, is WOW!!! This is your finest work so far. They just keep getting better and better. I am so happy for you guys!

[@maggiebuchanan9369]

Love this Bus conversion ! For me, the only thing missing is a washer/dryer & a woodstove. I really like how the bed is to the side rather than the entire back. I love the nick nack shelf up front, the book shelf by the kitchen it's all really awesome. I hope the couple ends up sending in pictures when the bus is completed. Thanks for sharing......

[@maggiebuchanan9369]

I guess you missed the part that I said....FOR ME....those are the things I would want if this bus was FOR ME ! I didn't say He needed it .....I've had my fill of coin laundry thank you very much.....

[@ElizaDolittle]

@Sages604 your tone and opinion are ridiculous

[@LoveDogs___3]

@Sages604 she didn't say it was

[@markgreen2170]

@Sages604 You certainly are proud of your opinions...

[@sandrasignorelli5960]

I do think a washer/dryer combo would be nice in a bus. 😊👍

[@eca2641]

I'm in love. I do appreciate a little more of a rustic look to take away from the residential feel but this man's work is always phenomenal. -I just looked at a 30' with my girls and we're getting all the more excited! ❤️

[@wynnhorton1208]

one of the best. the smooth white surfaces made it feel less cramped and cluttered. PLEASE show it after its been set up as a home and lived in for a few months

[@sandrasignorelli5960]

A washer /dryer combo and solar panels would also be an excellent addition.😊

[@firebreathingmoonbeam3961]

Or a foot pedal non electric washer. Yes they are small but I think they are great

[@seanregehr4921]

Looks great. Only issue is the shelving is not very practical in several spots when in motion/driving down the road. Either you have to secure everything ahead of time to take your chances that nothing goes flying. Also the "back closest" pole for hanging clothes looks very shallow. I would bring it away from the wall a couple inches. This schoolie really is a pleasant, open layout and has plenty of natural light.

[@bobb7993]

Excellent layout with the bed forward which allows the great closet AND the use of the emergency door in the rear. You all did a great job in the conversion.

[@journalinthedirt]

We have drawn and redrawn potential floorplans for our skoolie and this one is almost exactly what we have! So exciting to be able to see something so similar in real life! Some differences we have in our skoolie are: 1) We have a child and are planning on more but we co-sleep, so in the back we'll have a toddler murphy bed that folds down flush to the edge of our queen. The fold up space will be kids play space under murphy bed. We also won't be able to access our garage from inside (not sure if i'll regret this or not). 2) Woodstove with storage under behind the driver seat. 3) We have a washer and dog kennel space under the queen bed in the back. 4) Overhead storage above queen instead of peg board 5) And i'm hoping to find a little RV size tub for the kids. But otherwise same exact layout! So excited to start our build! I think it's gonna work really well for us. And I'm trying to decide if I really need a mini sink in the bathroom or not.

[@jfitzpatrick6108]

You Blue Ridge guys do really nice work -- especially the woodwork. I never saw a schoolie with a wood entry staircase before. I like the large sink - big enough to hold all of Thanksgiving dinner's dirty dishes. What surprised me most was the two door, under the counter refrigerator. I wanted one like that for my apartment; but no local supplier could come look.

[@deborahwebb3736]

You guys do a nice job. I like the hallway next to the window better than through the middle. Now to make the school bus look a little less like a school bus and more like a modern house on wheels.

[@jinx710]

Best one. Hands down the absolute BEST design. Can not convince me otherwise.

[@baylieminter266]

I love thissssssss (except i would want seating on both sides) but still amazing! The L shape kitchen is everything!

[@morganturner4781]

Great design! We are building a 30' skoolie and it is so nice to see a different layout than the standard galley!! Thank you for the inspo!!

[@carriesmith4357]

I think this is one of the nicest builds I've ever seen 👍

[@paulafumero774]

Literally one of the best designs for a school bus tiny home conversion that I've seen.

[@TheRougeChef]

I agree!! I'm currently researching floor plans and done so for during the last year.. Truly BA

[@deborahwebb3736]

Better in so many ways than a commercial RV. The kitchen shelves (above the kitchen counter) need a lip or stuff will fall out of it when driving on a rough road. Otherwise, great use of space.

[@ELICARIO12345]

Holy crap plenty of room for every thing and it speaks House that’s amazing!!!

[@ElizaDolittle]

Absolutely stunning - I would only add - somewhere - maybe in the back of the bus - a washer and dryer. Love the separation between the living area and the bathroom/nightime area.

[@nicolemcfarlane9811]

I’m from CA too just relocated to TN ya’ll inspire me sooo much. I love life here in TN.

[@jeepguy220]

my 3800 international is a 71 passenger, I'm thinking about just 3 rooms living room/ kitchen, bath with shower and master bedroom. I'm in idea phase and removing stopsign, school bus decals and subbing out yellow lenses in place of red on top. it's a dt466 allison auto with less than 130,000 miles and it's even a blue bird. flying the bird or birds the word in bus conversations!

[@michaelv2218]

My favourite bus conversion this year.

[@jorgemastrapa7993]

You guys are fantastic! I love this other project. Definitely I’m considering doing my bus conversion with you guys!

[@jimronaldson6699]

I LOVE THIS SET UP! It isnt cluttered!

[@imyouraveragescreamingpota3254]

I really love the layout of this house especially the garage and bathroom

[@DRK67]

Love the amount of space!! Looks very comfortable. Awesome ideas!!!

[@sonjaashmore2972]

I would have to have an L-kitchen too . Its really done nicely.

[@kevinnoble7532]

This is actually my favorite skoolie layout I’ve seen to date - or one of them Bevause I’ve seen sooo many. Love it!

[@66jackieb]

Wow, that is an amazing design. Beautiful, the lay out is awesome!

[@gaileenfrost3889]

You guys do some out standing work unbelievable work so good I love love love your work

[@mudslynger2109]

I know it was their choice but they sure devoted a ton of room just for sleeping! Anyway I love all the wood and the pegboard shelves!

[@imcharmed4evr]

One of the BEST Bus remodeling jobs I've seen! 💙

[@m.f.richardson1602]

Great job, looks livable with comfort. Love Love the music

[@louiswager2629]

this guy does some of the best Bus conversions really like the layouts

[@dennisbrouillard189]

I don’t know how y’all do it but this as usual is excellently done master piece

[@robertcorbett2873]

I agree

[@CanChikMay]

beautiful bus! i agree with rick taylor.. best yet that ive seen.. even tho its not 100% finished..

[@robyndismon394]

This bus is INCOMPREHENSIVELY BEAUTIFUL. I figured this was 4 a single couple. Best of luck and safe travels 2 the owners.

[@steveseiler8782]

great bus layout it will turn heads on the road cheers guys ans well done

[@luckychicav7981]

Hi there Jeff! Beautiful work as always guys! I Love that Jazz Jason!!

[@SowtheLand]

luckychicav thanks!

[@tonyhoppa8042]

WORST music.........EVER! Nice bus!

[@pahzplace7853]

Nice! I Love these guys work! They always find an interesting way to transition from one area to another with a twist! It must be fun coming up with ideas

[@allenrousseau5668]

looks beautiful, love the warmth of the wood, and brightness of the white ceiling and walls. very nice! Thanks for sharing!

[@annagomez9610]

I love the way this bus came out! Good job....I seen alot of bus and I wouldn't mind buying this bus.

[@thememorytravelerReset]

I love this one! You guys are rocking the woodwork. The drop down table gives lots of options. Ya’ll put personality in your work! 💜

[@scoobydog411]

Amazing design. I love the stain color you use. I use it on my shelves I make. Closet in the back amazing.

[@Baynesters]

That drop down table is super nice, will be doing mine the same way, excellent build

[@donnakrisch6294]

You guys. This is gorgeous. You done a fabulous job.

[@deanne609]

Beautiful craftsmanship! The drop down table seems like wasted space. I thing I would have sacrificed a bit of shower space for closer space. Also if I’m living full time in this the washer dryer combo would have to be part of this design too. Your company does really nice work!!

[@puppypunter8133]

I'd probably remove that folding table and put in a small booth for guests or if you want to accompany the driver.

[@jdee150]

It looks really good, but without added insulation it will be nearly impossible to heat and cool.

[@williamfarrugia5355]

What about showing us the connections like toilet shower and electrical wires Thanks Billy

[@ju-lyndav7087]

Clean and gorgeous build!

[@itsadamoc]

An amazing layout and finish.

[@rrhopewell]

That was amazing. I loved that design

[@anitawalters5672]

Love the work you guys do.

[@marionpatterson6781]

What is the website to get you guys to make me one? I love the design. I went to Jeff's website but its private. I'd lkle to see more of your work. Thanks

[@michaelreinhold9350]

Great layout, where's the water and power? Loose the drop down table and this is a hands down winner for a 30'. Solid

[@shaungillam6596]

@ sow the land - What was the overall cost of the conversion from start to finish?

[@justinbarney6286]

3 things to keep in mind when buying a bus for this type of thing: 1.) Bring a tape measure because some buses only have an interior height of 5'10", which one may consider getting a different model, or perhaps extending the roof for BOTH headroom and a sufficient amount of insulation. 2.) Check the length of the bus, because in certain states a bus(or any vehicle or total length of vehicle with trailer) that measures over 30 ft., it's required that the driver must posses a CDL. ...and 3.) After running into this issue I decided to change my living & storage format. Imagine your driving your tiny home-vehicle and it's in-need of repair. So you take your vehicle/home into a garage and they inform you that they'll need to keep the vehicle overnight(or longer) to get the part for the job or the job is taking particularly long. Where do you stay now? ...they're not going to let you stay in the vehicle during the time it's in the shop. So what I do now, is use a van to sleep in, while I haul a trailer for the rest of my stuff. But I also have the trailer built to-where I can sleep in it, IF my vehicle has to spend the night(or longer) in a mechanic's shop. ...just something to consider ;)

[@rhondacooley455]

Excellent, useful tips. Thanks for sharing Justin!

[@RonsClassicRVs]

Your CDL statement is incorrect. Some commercial made RV's are over 40' long and over 26,000 Lbs and no CDL is required.

[@disneyworld2928]

Nop , you should park your car somewhere safe where you could let your home sit on a land, then drive the car only to the shop ( after all, it is only 2 days right?!)

[@bentleyharden9619]

@@RonsClassicRVs Right on! 26,000 Gross is the DOT limit, but there are exceptions for private vehicles. Some states require it for air brakes.

[@isaiahbangura4421]

If you register it as a motorhome, some of which are over 40 ft you don't need a CDL

[@barbibutton9619]

It's beautiful. New subscriber after reading the description. We ALL need to grow our own food!

[@bonnie2057]

i love the floor plan very functional

[@KitKatToeBeans]

For me what makes a great channel is actually trying to answer simple questions viewers have. That however doesn’t seem to matter to you.

[@cassityart7001]

As always super beautiful! Love the wood reclaim. That says home. ❤️👍😎

[@gsharmilasegari5464]

Yes. I like the floors too.

[@tyteavlogs21]

That back town table I would replace with a full sized refrigerator

[@Mbuzisana]

Best conversion and presentation.

[@Ghostpepperflow]

Beautiful work, but I worry that the weight imbalance on the left and right side could cause the bus to tip! Wishing you all the best

[@nishatanjumnourin7711]

Love love love the bathroom.

[@michellejohnson0319]

Just beautiful!

[@PineBrookeHomestead]

It is so incredible what people can do when repurposing old things into new and exciting things! Great job on the bus! 💛🚍

[@rickkentner1713]

Beautiful! May I please suggest 2 thoughts? A deeper cabinet at the front door, perhaps steal some space under the sofa/bed, for footwear. Also I would like to see 3-5 lights in the ceiling along the hall towards the back. This would give the appearance of length or a longer bus than it is. Wish you were in Canada. I could hire you guys instead of having to build one myself. Again, absolutely beautiful!

[@jmich54]

This is cool. Would be nice to see one of these with a standard bathtub inside along the side wall with wider, taller windows that push out to open like an awning with solar on the roof and a recliner and two captians chairs

[@SowtheLand]

Sounds like an RV :)

[@tylerrhodes7947]

one of the best designs yet...

[@patriciasilvia1552]

The best school bus conversion ever. Being a retired school bus driver and camper you never get rid of the urge to drive a bus. I so want my own and surely would want you to build it. How did all this coast and who finds the buses in good running condition.?👍🏽👍🏽

[@toontic1543]

I checked their site and they start around $35,000.

[@Layniacsofficial]

I am bingeing on Skoolie, van life and apartment tours tonight. Just dropping by to say hi! Haha

[@NAldrighetti]

Literally the first time I've seen the same fridge I bought for my conversion used in another conversion!!! :D

[@prettyqueen573]

What kind of fridge is it?

[@budthebudgetbus2711]

Wow this looks amazing! Fantastic job!

[@bobbygarrison3122]

Good looking job.

[@whachoosay9226]

What I hate the most about this bus is that it's not mine. It's brilliantly designed. It looks so much bigger & spacious compared to other videos I've seen of buses converted into a home.

[@Mike-cr4pl]

Nice! Some really great ideas. Excellent space management.

[@Scorpiomary]

Beautiful project

[@philiptilton7063]

Nice job blue ridge.......your portfolio is growing....this is a nice build..........very professional.

[@michaelgonzalez8863]

Would like to see Electrical systems , plumbing, hvac ect... cosmetics and storage ideas are cool and all , nice looking bus

[@mightyson4453]

I think this is the best skoolie bus conversion so far but for me i would raise the roof I’m a tall guy that’s why. But awesome work man

[@mrderekholmberg]

Wow that bus is so nice - great job!

[@azza1793]

Wow wow wow what a truly lovely home to live in

[@lindamercado3276]

I've watch a few of your videos and your work is stunning! Wish i could biy one for myself, thanks for sharing, it gives me something to dream for

[@isaaccuervo147]

I would change the garage area for the restroom.

[@comingforyoufl]

I love looking at your work guys... beautiful job

[@ms.foxxired9635]

What kind of refrigerator is that? I really like that never seen that before. Overall I really like the bus and think you did a great job

[@romanstaniszewski1030]

NICE CLEAN PROFESSIONAL BUILD !

[@astzfat3319]

BS"D NICE! I personally prefer counter work space between sink and stove top. Much more functional. Also, table top location? How is that location purposeful and functional especially as a drop table - and for two people?

[@robbiesuguitan8468]
