[@lorettaodom7044]

I see so many videos like this and I was pondering if there is some sort of revolution revisited. Im not certain if society is fed up with the idea of renting and or homeownership but, this form of transformation is a wake up call to a society that is seeking alternatives to living. I have seen entire families adopting this form of lifestyle after losing there home due to market conditions. If you are apart of generation X,Y or a millennial keep up the great work of redefining living!

[@daisyapontehavenmemoriestr8552]

Agree. This is the future revolution new ideas new alternative of living cheaper

[@mariereeder3635]

I need these folks as friends! Great job!

[@Zmaenlplibi]

While I agree, I feel like we as humans especially in democracies, should also consider fighting the "market conditions" that bring us in these troubling conditions. The way our economy and housing markets work is not natural law, they are a result of government policy. These policies can be changed, if humans band together and create political pressure.

[@Ryan-um5xe]

I mean homeownership has brought me great wealth. Putting your money in a car is a depreciating asset and a very small resale market. They'd be better off putting that money in on a down payment on a house and getting a crappy rv.

You did a very good job on that build. I like the bed lift and laundry compartment. So only one person can sit on the couch? Does the driver seat turn around to face the couch? Love the tub! But would've liked seeing the rest of the bathroom instead of just the mirror. Is there a toilet in there as well? Thanks.

A tub instead of a shower and no toilet, is all I could see. Wasted too much room there and that frig is too small they should have left a cabinet out and doubled the size of the fridge. The table and chairs could double as a real couch. Other than that it was an amazing design.

Great work! But it's better next install a toilet than a bathtub. Especially on a long trips, you don't want to keep stop and look for a restroom/toilet every time you have to pee or defecate.

[@CosmicChaiLatte]

I know right? I never saw them put in a toilet and I feel like that has to be first thing you install in one of those before a tub.

[@carolinama135]

Agree

[@carolinama135]

However, it must be hard to plan a toilet in this kind of building. I mean, there is no real plumbing and sewer, so where the excrements would be sent to...? That's complicated

[@86jpw]

@@carolinama135 Not really. If they did a walk in shower they could've easily make room for a toilet. Instead t hey wanted a deep tub. Also shower would've been cheaper.

[@MrPipe007]

Why not? The roads?

[@user-dm8zp9ru8h]

@@MrPipe007 nah, if you really wanna do it, you'd be able to do it for sure even in Indonesia. It's just gonna be more complicated and relatively more expensive. Also, probably won't gonna be that comfy given the hot weather. You'd want the air conditioner to run 24 hours a day. Another challenge would also be the road, because I'd assume if you are building this, you'd wanna bring it in mountainy area or like camp-able area at least, and a lot of roads to those sites aren't well developed yet. Though, the biggest challenge would be the former, imo.

Представляю чтобы вы смогли сделать и с двухэтажным автобусом у них ведь уже изночально есть био туалет и нижние отделения для вещей: эти места можно много для чего использовать например чтобы эти отделения поднимались как лифт: для еды, вещей, да чего угодно, на первом этаже сделать кухню, телевизор установить игровую например, а на втором этаже спальню например, а на крыше вообще установить солнечную батарею и за электричество платить не нужно будет! Сам часто любил реально двухэтажные автобусы, в них можно делать что угодно хоть ресторан, а на втором этаже например бильярдная или просто вип зона!!! Идей есть много не все имеют возможность воплотить её в реальность!!! А так всё круто!!!! Может ещё что то интересное сотворите, буду ждать!!!

Looked like you had no protective gear on when you pulled up the flooring. I clearly saw mold when you pulled that flooring up. Mold can mess you up bad, especially if you have genetic susceptible. What was the white stuff you were painting on the metal and the subfloor and why?

[@ciaranconlon84]

I noticed this too because of a story that stuck with me about someone renovating a house they bought. As they pulled up the carpet, the edge of it nicked their leg and they ended up getting a flesh eating disease and losing the leg. Years old carpets are nothing to be messed with, you wear thick clothing and a respirator, nothing less.

I hope you're going to beef up the suspension all that extra weight you are putting on there will definitely impact your shocks or struts, nice job though

It actually works the opposite way . It's designed to carry a lot of people so the brakes/suspension etc can require constant maintenance due to not being worked to their designed capacity , not to mention taking dozens of heavy seats out before commencing work. It's a common issue on bus conversions.
