Hi from Australia - beautiful build but by law here, every person travelling in the vehicle must have a seat with an approved 3 point seat belt. How does this work in the USA?

I’ve seen gazillion videos on mobile living, including skoolies, and everyone always says it’s the best they’ve ever seen…but this one REALLY is the best I’ve ever seen. Brilliant design and first class execution and build by Paved to Pines! All that said, the accompanying music to this video doesn’t work at all for me, I’m having to watch it in increments so as not to climb the wall. But viewing this Rolls Royce of skoolies is well worth the effort of getting past the music. All involved did a stellar job, enjoy Walter!

[@PavedToPines]

Thanks Carol!!

[@chrispatriot]

[@paulawilder7919]

Carol Z you took the words right out of my mouth. The most gorgeous build I’ve ever seen but the music 😣😖

[@bwezil]

The toilet is outside of the shower, the entire layout is spacious (with a wonderfully functional kitchen, and a FULL SIZED FRIDGE!) and accommodates guests, plenty of storage… you’ve created a masterpiece, my friend. Best I’ve seen so far.

[@PavedToPines]

Thank you very much!! The team was extremely excited to share this with its new owners :)

[@richardkelley1646]

It's all good, lot of effort and a lot of money , then leave a lot of rust around the rear door ! I'd be pissed !!!

[@grannyanderson5063]

This unit is so impressive. I have been thousands of bus videos and I must state that this is the absolute top rated bus conversion! I would hired you in a moment to built my bus. I just need $100,000, but I would need an area for kids to sleep. You deserve the Academy Award for bus built!!!!

[@PavedToPines]

Thank you so much!! One of the nicest comments I’ve read yet, really appreciate it! We could definitely plan some bunks 😉

[@valeriepippy7540]

It would be nice to see a video with the couple moved in and on the road. Great job.

[@PavedToPines]

Agreed! This couple is starting a VLOG series of their adventures! I’ll be sure to share that with everyone :)

[@shannonmorrison8055]

I absolutely love this setup, only thing I would have changed is I would have wanted a stackable washer/dryer instead, everything else is amazing! Very well thought out. Great job!

[@PavedToPines]

Thanks Shannon!! I might have to agree with the washer/dryer comment! For me, I feel the decision would be occupancy. If the owner is flying solo (or a couple), then combo unit is awesome and saves space. For families, I think a stackable is a great choice!

[@DRK67]

Have to say this by far is the best layout design I’ve seen in my months of research. Open and airy, lots of natural light and just looks incredibly comfortable. I’m currently saving and planning for a flat nose conversion hopefully within the next 12-18 months. Would love to have y’all do it but I’m on South Florida and y’all are in Canada. Big draw back for me. But I have to say I love the attention to detail and it looks like all components have very good service access. That’s a huge build factor for me! Also have to say this is one of the best descriptive walk through videos I’ve seen yet. Awesome job!!! Can’t wait to begin my build. Thanks for posting this great video!!!

[@PavedToPines]

Thanks Derek!! Believe it or not most of our clients are coming from all over the US! Getting to take advantage of that 25% on our dollar! We bring you right through the build process with video calls, renders, sampling, etc! Super excited to hear about your build plans!

This is amazing! Home Run bases loaded! Ohmygoodness a home on wheels for sure! Blessed couple! Genius ideas!

[@mattpainter1713]

After watching the lock picking lawyer videos, that padlock in the back scares me for 2 reasons: 1) it looks like it would be easily picked/broken with the right tools and 2) if something goes wrong in the bus it cannot be opened in case of an emergency. Other than that it is a beautiful conversion!!

[@_JoyceArt]

I was about to direct them to the lock picking lawyer! 😬

[@alexba1ley]

Padlocks are basically ornamental for anyone who can use a basic lock picking kit. I took a lock picking class and was able to open all the locks even the most advanced ones in under two minutes each. And I have fine motor skills challenges bc of dyspraxia.

[@ItaintmeCCC]

Amazing. I would have to have a section for my 2 boys to sleep. I wish this kind of living was possible in the UK but I would rather live like this in the US

[@PavedToPines]

Thank you!!

[@feathers352]

Very nice and well finished you. I understand the layout but is there not a lot of weight on the driver's side with all your appliances, water and grey tank. Also the baltic birch is very nice but does that not make the unit very heavy. What is the GVW on the unit. I am sure the freightliner can handle it but seems might be a little different to drive all the weight on one side. But truly a beautiful looking bus.

[@PavedToPines]

Thank you!!! And awesome comment. Great observation and we certainly planned a few counterweights. On the passenger side, we’ve positioned the power system and batteries, a toolbox planned for fuel/genset transport, and the largest of all.. the diesel fuel cell! You’re right this won’t touch the freight liners GVW. The ride improvement post conversion is impressive. I’ll track down those weights for you as it was getting checked at customs on route to San Francisco!

[@whitneyconnolly3927]

Wonderful work & design

[@chuckspencer5296]

I have to say... That thing is impressive!!! The windows and the roof raise just give so much space. The L couch and L kitchen works nicely. My only concern, the water system, the valves, and the filter. While under the bed makes great sense, have you thought about the access when there's a mattress wedged on top of the panel. I was just thinking that putting those controls and filter closer to the back door...

[@wandaw2757]

WOW! Love it. Perfect.

[@RussSchoonmaker]

So, where does the co-pilot sit? On, the slippery leather couch? So sad for the pilot to have to navigate this beast alone. IMO, it’s always nice to have an extra pair of eyes up front. With the current setup, the drivers eyes will unconsciously get diverted from the road when communicating with spouse in the back. And during hard braking, there is nothing to prevent occupants and loose objects in back from flying forward into the wide open cab😱

[@annwithaplan9766]

Russ Schoonmaker - I agree. I'm glad the young couple likes it. I like the wood they used in the build, but it's basically like many others I've seen. Not a fan of the "slippery leather couch" cushions. The round back cushion would not work with me laying on it as a bed. I'd fall through the crack real quick. The hallway pull-up hatch could've been hinged on the wall side for easier access, instead of having to lean over it from the bathroom.

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

I’m sure they will agree with you soon after they have taken their first 100 miles. It looks like they can put in another captains chair or a folding seat by the driver. I’ve seen so many who regretted not having 2 seats and have changed it.
