I love how they took the time to accommodate the needs of the animals as well as themselves.

Yes everyone poops! Very realistic about the upkeep of a toilet!

Yes! I am renovating a 85 vanagon westfalia this summer and this gave me the idea to dedicate a sweet spot for my 2 kitties

[@KeeplookingUP777]

Agreed, love the accommodations for the fur babies! 💖 🐶🐈🐇🐰💖

[@covidnineteen4304]

Yea because that's just want you want is humans and animals living in the same space, I'm sorry but that is not at all a normal living situation. Let me say I am not talking about the whole schoolie bus life, but animals belong outside in nature.

[@linshannon4480]

I've watched a lot of skoolie conversion videos, but this is probably my favorite. Intelligently designed and beautifully realized.

[@marycorbett1881]

All I could hear was “I wanted,I wanted,,me ,me,mine mine at the beginning!Great bus though,😀

[@Sparrowdean]

Such a beautiful conversion, one of the very best I've ever seen, love the relaxing colour scheme and the neatness of their work.

[@user-rm4yd2cl2k]

This really freaks me out...besides the fact that I imagined a few tiny details different, like a few more fold out beds and a different ceiling, you guys built the bus that was in my head to build for myself! To see it alive is like unreal...thank you for letting me step into my bus! ;) now I can see it live and make changes/adjustments accordingly to the dream design. Thank you so much!!!!!

[@rexblueskyes2450]

A sweet loving home you both enjoy, thanks for the clean look and seamless lines, design and color you bring to this channel.

[@Dmhlcmb]

The level of craftsmanship is great, very clean.

[@tracybrookey4356]

Wow, I have seen the bus many times on the KZbin but this video really showed it off! How beautiful!!! I love everything about it, especially all the details for the fur babies! I envy your bus, life, just all of it!!! Your a great little family! Can’t wait till it’s my time to get out there, hope to meet you guys sometime!!! Be safe!👍🐶💞🐱🐰🐰

It's the first time I hear a mobile home owner explain the reality of these composting toilets, thanks for that. The Vinegar sounds like a great idea.

This is so wonderful and I love how you achieved your goal... Fantastic use of materials and the fact that you have accommodated your sweet animals... Love this bus conversion.

Great bus, Love the VW throw back. My folks got one when we were young loved it. Real like the set-up and the fact you planed for all your furbabies. that is awesome. Thanks for the tour.

Hello Susan How are you doing today?

[@iamwithhim1434]

This one of my favorite busses for two people I’ve ever seen!!!! It feels so comfy and cozy! I love the animals and that they gave them their space and considered their needs. So awesome!!!

[@theresasutton6311]

This is also very serene. Love your torte. Lost mine at 13 yrs during Covid. Your color scheme, layout and artistic choices all around are just lovely. Everything just compliments all your choices.

Luna is so beautiful, reflects the needs and desires of the two of you, truly inspirational, I love what you have done with this bus, made it a home to enjoy!

[@GrummanIsComin]

This is absolutely amazing! Love ❤️ the design and the attention to details for themselves and their animals.

[@kalvinbarris4246]

Great work guys. You just gave thousands watching this bright ideas!

[@BJ2020_]

As an animal owner/advocate I have always adjusted my lifestyle for my animals. You both have done a phenomenal job for your animals. Your conversion and utilizing space is one of the best

[@carolbiggs2313]

Everybody poops, but I think that an accordion door would have been better, because it is more of a noise protection from the sound of nature! A curtain is not enough for me, but it is not by bus, and you did do a beautiful job.

[@kathycagg6531]

Your home is beautiful! Well thought out & organized. Thanks for the tour!

[@allyssafitzgerald5107]

You guys are a joy to watch. I love that you have made an unconventional life for you and your animals. The build is beautiful and so cozy. Happy trails. Love and blessings from the Bahamas.

[@Leelee...]

A beautiful conversion,,but I would need ..1. a door on the toilet area,, and 2. a real cushy couch.

[@UnknownGuy0.0]

Yeah i could tell I solved the toilet door He can use slide door that slides into the cloths area and when someone use the toilet he can use it Also i find the kitchen too big i can tell it takes like half the bus I feel like the living area should be bigger And the stove shouldnt be in the way if someone wanna pass by he cant it also near the toilet which kinda gonna be smelly As hell and let u quit cooking lol Anyway the design after all is Great And fits their needs

[@TheBeaver50]

Absolutely love this bus! The colors are purrfect! The layout is genius . These people LOVE to talk though . this 43 minute video could have been a 15 minute video in all reality. The guy seems so full of himself. Either way Nice , Very Nice bus!

[@suehorn4182]

Totally agree

[@PidasianHippie]

They have a beautiful design with very peaceful colors.

[@candicegerman2748]

I live vicariously through people who are able to afford the freedom of living like this. Also, I totally understand when you said that you should love what you do for a living, I've worked for over 30 years in a position that is nothing more than a way to pay my bills....

[@pattivargasvargas8076]

Beautiful home, it does not feel like a bus. I could live in it and love it.

[@leilal8053]

I love the way you've incorporated your fur-baby's needs and comfort into your design....this is truly a "Home"..☺

Love it! Great layout and design and everything clearly explained. Good job!

Hello Michelle How are you doing today?

[@denisefigueroa7381]

I have watched many converted bus videos, I congratulate you both cause you both have given an in depth "rhyme or reason" explanation/information on your renovations for your bus. Beautiful work....

[@katya03316]

Cute bus! Love all the animal quarters the bus looks very spacious for 2 people and all the animals

[@sandyworkman3025]

Beautiful build. You could get a portable tub and store it where you can for a nice long hot hot soak and fill it at your leisure. We just heat water and set it up either in the living room or outside, its well worth the cost which is low. It comes in handy when you have hook ups and feels like a million bucks. They come in tin or rubber in all sizes. We ended up loaning it out when we stopped and the neighbors saw us use it.😎

[@teelov1966]

Appreciated the bathroom description. Plain and helpful.

[@TinaRice4]

Great Bus Conversion, Very Organized, Very well made! I too love that you think of your animals FIRST as it should be!!! I loved meeting ALL your pets!!!

[@Jaya-zn7vr]

Absolutely beautiful. I could live in Luna for the rest of my life and feel lucky! Well done guys

[@zoelife7272]

i could totally appreciate this every so often. but i can't come home to this cramp everyday. just me

[@nancyhowell4505]

I appreciated his frankness about how to handle the potential problems of a toilet and how to save tons of money by making your own. Also great having a shower inside! Very impressed with the whole bus, efficient, beautiful and used my favorite colors! 👏👍👍😀🚍

[@MomofukoU]

Absolutely amazing! Love this conversion. It’s so well thought out. Love the homemade composting toilet!

[@Ladyhawk1623]

I’m sure this is the most wonderfully planned and executed skoolie conversion ever! Everything looks very professionally done! What a great idea to incorporate a cat tree! Hope you have very safe and fun travels!! Best wishes! 😃🐇🐇🐈🥰

[@jackmack9310]

BEAUTIFUL conversation..for your bathroom door get a retractable RV shower door its perfect for it including the size and weight..plus your shower..the same they have different styles etc..but for sure get retractable one you will be very happy plus privacy and looks Awesome i bought one for mine it looks great...the company that makes it its called (Stoeff.RV shower retractable.) ..good luck.great job.:)))) .

[@christopherlucas1395]

Really nice point about the size of the fridge! I’ve seen some full size refrigerators on schoolies. I’ll bet they never considered how to remove it if it ever breaks down!

[@mapleleaf0]

I really like the trays that lift up within your couch storage. Great way to organize and keep the look within the storage aesthetically pleasing. I love it when inside a cabinet is as pleasing to look at as outside.

[@wandaparker9340]

Beautiful Bus Conversion! I’m in the, “Dream Stage”. I have decided on a Blue Bird Diesel Pusher. You were very informative in all your build. Thank you!

[@angiehewerdine]

Very nice bus. Love the colors and the style. But wow... they both really like to talk. This is the longest bus tour I've ever watched. lol

Okay, THIS is the very best, most completely awesome bus design, that appeals to me, that I have seen yet...(2 years of reviewing)! Uncomplicated, well thought out and beautiful to the eye of a minimalist who appreciates functional design! Love it...and yes I'm taking notes!

[@ThompsonSmith-xo5sd]

Hello dear How are you doing today?

[@raemerry7965]

Really like your cabinet covering and the wood. Beautiful!

[@jennifersherman8838]

Wow! I like the open feeling inside the bus! The ceiling is beautiful! I'm a huge animal lover and have, over several decades, had several cats (former strays), parrots, various pet amphibians, hamsters, a beloved Great Dane and a black Lab/Shelter mix, and Betta fish. I don't have animals for the first time, as of ten years ago. I don't.know if I'll have another pet; I don't miss having one as much as I thought I would. I have had a male roommate/long-time friend roommate for 18 years (maybe he counts as a type of animal. lol. Now, I can save for my trip to South Africa and Southern California (I grew up in Los Angeles and have happily lived in the San Francisco Bay area since '93). My arthritis is making it impossible to have any pet, right now. I will have X-Rays on Monday. I love that you have an animal emergency book. Your set up for your cute rabbits and beautiful Tortie kitty. Maybe steps to the bed can help your older dog. I know they take up space so maybe they aren't possible. If you haven't already done so, getting all of your animals microchipped, rabbits included, might become something you will wish you had done. Emergencies are never planned for or expected. There may come a time when, for whatever reason, one or more escape. Vets will scan for chips for free when someone brings in a lost animal for ID testing (I've done it). Having a collar with ID tag can speed up getting your pet back; also, a lot of people don't know about microchipping pets. Also, screens can sometimes separate from the bottom or side of the frame when an animal is lying against it so it might need reinforcing. Carriers: A situation may suddenly arise when you will need to remove all of your animals from the bus, even for a short time. Having carriers for your rabbits and cat will be essential. Your dog might need one, too. I know they take up room but it will be well worth it. The hard two part plastic ones are the safest. The top and door can be stored inside the bottom. Having blankets for cold weather are good to have. I made some and cut a slit in the top for the carrier handle to slip through. Doing the same with a sheet or something can help on hot days to help keep the animal calm. Having water in a container for them can become necessary. There are also bowls that can be flattened when not in use. I used to take one of my parrots almost everywhere I went and took bird dishes, water, food, and carrier cover. A smoke alarm is good, too. Anyway, take care, stay safe, and have fun! 😀

It's adorable that yall's attire matches the color scheme of the bus. And the build is very clever. I'm planning a similar floorplan, but with bunk beds. Yall's build helped me decide on a few things.

[@davep6977]

Great job. The only thing i might do different is leave the rear heating. Not only would it keep the whole unit warmer, but they help the bus run cooler. But kudo's for keeping the front. It's still a bus, not a house.

[@Reality_TV]

This is a BEAUTIFUL conversion! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this conversion, but...Adam talks a lot! LOL...I heard I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, mine, mine, mine, my, my, my SO MUCH while he spoke! Every word Rachel spoke was we, we, we. Her perspective seems focused on the "US" of the relationship. I would like to know more about the things she enjoys. Their build is beautiful, but I get the feeling that he is really high maintenance for her. I hope she has a special spot for herself to escape and have "HER" time - even if it is outside of the bus! Adam, if you ever see this, make sure Rachel achieves HER dreams too!
