Art Teacher SOLD IT ALL to Live in a Bus

[@helenac.4081]

I LOVE how Lindsay designed the bus to fit HER style & needs! A beautiful expression of her! I think more of us would be much happier if we surrounded ourselves with what makes us happy to look at, rather than decorating for the sale. Best wishes Sister… a lovely and comfortable home!

[@jimross7648]

You make a great bus tour guide who can explain not only what is but the why it is or should be.

[@bigrollinghome2091]

really enjoy the tours of your builds and seeing people who are living the life

[@whipfinishflyco]

Charlie, Im an art teacher in the same district as Lindsay. Ironically bought a ‘99 Thomas Built pusher from a fella out in Riffle last August. I had planned on meeting Lindsay to check her bus out at the beginning of the school year but never made it over, how time flies. Glad to finally get a tour of her bus and see your work. We have quite a bit in common in regards to our music history. The plan is to turn the our bus into a mobile fishing lodge. I’d love to connect sometime to talk about solar! Enjoying the channel abs thanks for the time and knowledge you put in…

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Awesome! Please do!

[@LindseyEngland]

ROSS….this guy knows his shit!! Holla at him 🤩

[@NKBobcat]

It may be difficult to sell a home with such personality unless they find a buyer with similar eclectic tastes. Looks like a very sound foundation for a person or couple looking to enter bus life.

[@1982MCI]

Nah, it’s only paint man and it’s extremely easy to cover up with boring white or beige paint if you like that better

[@mkchris9154]

Gorgeous!!! Great job!!!

[@IvyRosethebus]

She did a beautiful job. I may be biased because many of the colors are the same in my bus. I made a dresser out of a stack of suitcases just like what she has in the entrance. My colors are purple red and turquoise. I love her bus. ❤ you and your team did an excellent job on the framing and bones of the bus. She has everything she needs. I hope you find a really good owner for the next round of this bus’s life!

[@Americansangel]

Great job and congratulations on making her thoughts and dreams a reality ❤️

[@eddavis2681]

Hey Charlie, Didn’t realize you are from NOLA! So am I, in fact brought one of those shot gun houses in my younger days and restored it. Nice tour, thanks!

[@johnnylightning1491]

Kind of an eclectic but very cool bus. A year later I'm sure the buss is gone by now and Lindsay if off on her adventure in Fiji. Wishing her all the best in her aquatic adventures. Keep the good stuff coming Chuck.

I think this is the way to go for many who don't want to get into all the ground work. At least that is the way I would do it. I can build but I am not sure on the bones of a build.

Hell yes! Merci!

[@laleighma1]

I don't always watch the whole video's of bus builds, just skip to the parts "I" like! Lol But I ALWAYS watch Your videos from start to finish! You have a Mike Rowe vibe about you and I love your voice too! The van is amazing inside and out! Yall did an awesome job on the hard parts and Lindsey decorated it with lots of personality! I have to say I especially liked the end when yall talked together! You were pleasantly awkward (in a good way) and yall were freaking adorable!! PS I'm from Louisiana too! Born and raised in BR living on the west side now! 🦋 ✌️

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thank you so much for the kind words, Laura! Im not from LA (been in denver all my life) but my dad's side lived in LA for the last 200 years!

[@planted365]

Even though this bus is very colorful, if someone decided to go more neutral…switch it up with paint. Her layout is beautiful & simple, so adding your own personal touch is an easy change. Great job on your design, Lindsay!! Blessings on your new journey ahead. - xo

[@brownbunny2513]

Lindsay, and her bus are beautiful. Charlie, are you still available to build out other busses? I have a skoolie, that I would love to be done over, and I loved Lindsay design inside, we have the same size bus. Great tour and thank you for sharing. Loved it !

[@scottshirer9396]

I like that she kept the original door. Since she stayed in -20 degree weather, did you do anything extra to make sure the door sealed completely? I would guess the door has a low R value and allows a lot of heat/cold transfer.

[@LindseyEngland]

The front of the bus with the original door and windows did loose heat, but that’s why I put the stove there. It more than compensated for the loss and actually helped since it got very warm with a raging fire! We did some weather stripping around the door and it honestly worked just fine.

[@sallygreene2847]

Where is the shower?

[@clintonjgardiner]

So I have a year 2000 Bluebird 5.9 cummins 24v MD3060 Puller. Thanks to you, I was able to identify this transmission I have. I was trying to figure out which one it was. Anyway I'm in Tampa florida. My question is, can I go to any Allison Transmission company to get the overdrive unlocked?. I love your videos. Thank you so much for the information to help me put a perspective on my build.

[@rockydfw9409]

The inner PBS kid and Bob Villa junkie in me kept waiting for you to close the intro with "Go ahead and grab a drink, pull up a seat, and join us on another exciting episode of "This OLD Bus!". Also, really digging the almost "airliner galley" feel of her kitchen set-up instead of the standard side wall configuration. Keep up the good work Charlie, I can't wait to see what the next episode of This OLD Bus has to offer.

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@mistymac]

I’m looking to sell everything to renovate a school bus. My kid is grown and now I’m ready for my next stage. I’m loving all of your videos. Thank you so much for making these. They’re really helping with my research. I saw you said you were Cajun. Where are you from? I live down in South Louisiana - born and raised. I loved hearing that you’re also Cajun.

[@ryanholloman9092]

This is truly an amazing bus build. I would love to buy it but have nowhere to park it. I also would change a lot of the inside of the bus to better fit my needs. I would change the inside of this bus to look completely modern.

[@thewiseguy3529]

So, in other words, you want it to look cold and depressing inside. 👍 Some people like warm colors. Not everyone like that institutionalized feeling.

[@mctrustsnoone3781]

Hi Chuck, love your vids and thank you for talking about this bus’s guts! I’m in Alberta and a lot of our buses up here run on propane. Any thoughts or considerations on the idea of getting a propane fuelled bus instead of diesel?

[@ChuckCassadyYT]

Very cool! my only beef with propane, at least down here, is that filling stations are not common and the MPG with propane is even less than with gasoline. My bus company had a propane bus briefly and it was a lot of work to keep it full!

What is a good strategy for venting an oven range hood? Out the top, or out the side? The oven will be mounted with it's back facing the side of the bus... Just realizing that you could offer "remote consulting" over video chat; Charge $100 for a 30 minute one on one session.

It is truly shocking the RV industry doesn’t use mini splits. They are way more efficient in my understanding of air conditioners. You can hide that box in the body if needed but on a lot of overland rigs they use mini splits so they can have a/c with solar.

See? The sister has the right idea! Share your business. Why should I stress myself over all that stuff when there are companies out there willing and able to get the job done? Thd only problem I would have is there’s too much fuel onboard. I want strictly electric with plenty of solar. Oh and the purple would have to go. But other than that I love it. I love anytime someone repurposes one thing to make it something completely different. It shows way more imagination then I have! So sorry she as to sell it. It looks amazingly comfortable! Thanks for showing this beauty!! If you want to see what boat life is like check out “Gone With the Wynns.” They lived in an RV full time for 10 years then sold everything and bought a catamaran!
