DIY SKOOLIE TOUR | Young Couple Converts Short Bus into Tiny Home On Wheels

[@jameskaura9643]

I am an off gridder. I am a very experienced small space designer. I have litterly seen 100s of designs. These two kids have blown my mind

[@sandrajohnson9926]

I agree. I've viewed many small vans, buses, & tiny home builds. This is most excellent. Smart.

[@camarojai6832]

This bus easily goes down as one of my favorites

[@F-J.]

Omg. I love the Mason jar blender hack.

[@NoteFromSELF]

Same. My plastic blender pitcher has a leak.

[@etrimbleable]

You should remind your friends and followers of this video. Remind everyone of the true value of this wonderfully rebuilt home on wheels. Very inspiring.

[@flymatilda12]

Really can appreciate your shower/bathroom layout. The cubby for the toilet is a great design

[@davidchapman259]

Congratulations to both of you on your build and adventure across north America. I have been following your videos for sometime.

[@joannbirdsong583]

You have the best and most well thought out design of any of the schoolies I’ve seen. I would call your design ingenious.

[@lynnescaddan8919]

What a fantastic idea to hide your tv. Your home is brilliantly thought out. Your counter space is great plus you've loads storage. I love your fridge/ freezer, it's great but just because your healthy. I prefer a fridge freezer with a door, as I can't bend with osteoarthritis.

[@onlyintheory9552]

Wow! I watch a ton of bus conversions to tiny homes, and this is the cleverest I've seen. I am so impressed. If I was ever able to live this lifestyle I would steal a ton of your ideas.

[@paige6028]

I have watched you guys from the beginning & I am very proud of you. Having no experience yet producing such a beautiful build is something you both should be very proud of also. My husband & I own a plumbing & electrical business & it's NOT easy. My husband has 20+yrs as a plumber, electrician & carpenter & I have seen, helped & been on many jobs with him & this type of work is not something that can easily be done properly, timely & look as good as you guys made it look. The skills you acquired doing this is something you can carry with you for the rest of your life & get better at in time. You two seem to be very quick learners & dont mind hard work & with those 2 attributes there's nothing you won't be able to accomplish. I can't wait to see where your adventures will take you! GREAT JOB! Stay safe & always remain humble. 🙏

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Wow, thank you!! That means a lot to us, especially given your experience. ❤️ We really appreciate you following our journey! 😊

[@randalltucker1900]

I am very impressed! Good job guys. love that you utilize all of your space

[@Maria-yf8fp]

Watching your channel makes me feel all is right with the world ❤️

[@katrinasheets2997]

Super cute tiny home! I love the modern farmhouse look inside. It looks spacious and open. Even though it's tiny, they've made great use of the small space without cramming it packed full of stuff. And they even have a bathroom with a shower!! Great bus!! Happy traveling!!

[@TottenhamHotspur_32516]

I can watch this as many times as I want to and not getting bored. This is how good you guys are. Great video. 👍👍👍

[@roadtriplover.]

Fantastic job, you two. It is a beautiful build and so clever. No doubt, you’ve many adventures ahead. Please stay safe out there!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you! Will do! 😊💚

[@dhletro]

Thank you for taking us along. Looking forward to your road trip adventures 😎📖☕

[@karlag1912]

Wow great job. I love the color of ur bus. It's so cleanly done. You both seem very smart and creative. All those window coverings must have taken some time. Very good design.

[@briandavis9975]

You both did a beautiful job it's encouraging to see young people think about how they can live and enjoy different ways of life styles not be tied to debt and the freedom to move around is priceless congratulations and safe travels to you I'm really enjoying you channel thanks for sharing

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you so much!! 😄

[@kimberlyearly8918]

I wish I had known to do this when my husband and I were young! Getting to go to different places and have a beautiful home on wheels would've been so much better than working 2 full time jobs neither one of us enjoyed at all. Maybe after he retires in about 10 years!

[@immgrntsrus]

You guys are so cute! I think your bus is a good blend of simplicity and comfort, without being too expensive. Have fun on your adventures!

[@jaggjagg5928]

WOW...What a perfect, well thought layout! Im in awe! First time ever that I saw the dining storage access hinged on the wall, the tv stored under the countertop and toilet that rolls away for showering purposes. Absolutely brillant!!!! Thanks for sharing. I love your channel.

[@margaretgosnell8281]

Great conversion. Bathroom really good an does not take up living space, but gave you the luxury of bathroom and shower.

[@priscillabohn4621]

containers with closed lids really are a must to keep critters out, for your snack area buy containers

[@drenee65]

Mad jellie. Your Skoolie is so sweet! Thank you for sharing 🚍

[@wesantczak3774]

I just re-watched the tour from the beginning since I was a little bit late to the premiere. I am VERY impressed with all of the choices that you have made in this build. You seem to have put a lot of thought into everything that you did and the results are spectacular. I love all of the little touches that really do make this feel like a home. Looking forward to seeing your travels!!! Enjoy and stay safe!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you Wes! 😊 We're glad you enjoyed the tour 💚

[@cheekyoziechick]

It is so cozy.. They have thought of everything they need for what they want. I want a bus!

[@georgiamario9128]

Like the simple design, minimalist without clutter. Happy trails!

[@moreybandel5560]

Cindy says "A Really nice job! You have a Beautiful home! I sure wish we would have done something like this, when we were your age. You guys have so many fun adventures ahead of you, and will have So many Great memories! Very good decision!"

[@ariel393939]

This is a gorgeous build. I love all the colors, dark wood, the decorative wood in the dinning area. This is the first rig I have seen where the toilet slides inside a cubby, I like it. I also like the wood on the door, the kitchen is fabulous ! Good job, Happy travels

[@carlapierle8623]

Natalie, you forgot to mention your one hole putting green! 🤣😂 Great tour of your completed build. You should be VERY proud!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Haha I knew I was forgetting something 😂😂That would have been quite impressive to have a shower/toilet/putting green combo, huh? 🤣 And thank you so much! ❤️

[@helenm.langham5039]

THIS A FANTASTIC RENOVATION EVERY SPACE IS COVERED AND NEAT.... IT GETS TEN ⭐️ STARS ⭐️ AND MORE....BEST JOB !!!!

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

Love the layout and all the little interior touches. The kitchen countertop looks great and the TV setup is very creative. For me this length of bus is the best compromise of size and usefulness.

[@livingthedreambuildingthedream]

I have binged watched this series of your build, I must say I’m very impressed and proud of you for what you have achieved. I love the bus. Sending much love from uk 🇬🇧

[@kevincelmer8925]

One of the best builds I have seen!! Everything was thought out very methodically.

[@kb9847]

beautiful work! Some really great ideas. The TV storage is really clever. I would love to have a "how-to" on the blinds. I need to replace our trailer blinds and your idea looks perfect. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks!💚 If you're interested we do have a video talking about the window coverings more in depth ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/eabHqqyhpq2Zp7c ), but if you have any questions please feel free to reach out!

[@kb9847]

@@JimmyandNatalie thanks!! :) I will check out the link.

[@livingthedreambuildingthedream]

This build is probably the best one I’ve seen have fun and enjoy, but above all be save. ❤

[@cferdinandi]

This is REALLY well done! I love all of the creative design touches. The TV-in-kitchen-counter is genius!

[@hamidullaha.saahir9144]

I love the simplicity yet interesting way you designed the build of your mobile home, and it's the first of its kind that I have seen, and I wish you the best on your journey, on exploring your imagination in reality.

[@martyevans8162]

Most creative shower/potty setup I’ve seen in any build. Very, very smartly done & saves the usual lifting out & lifting back in of toilet unit. 👍😊

[@shiifra]

That wet room cubbie for the shower is genius I’ve never seen it done before

[@RoeRoe123]

I cannot tell you kids just how many times I shook my head or dropped my jaw. That TV and sink and the tile. That shower 😯 but those blinds Natalie made are my favorite. That roofdeck is great too. You can both go up there and lay side by side. I'll be finding your videos later but you're both brilliant and I wish you a safe journey together. Godspeed ❣

[@donrich5828]

Great job on the build! It is obvious that you took what you liked from other builds on YT and made it your own special place. It is a very innovative build with a great uses of space. The hideaway window covers were an ingenious idea, along with the TV cabinet. I'm sure you both are going to enjoy a lot of good times with this vehicle. Stay safe and enjoy your travels. I look forward to seeing the future videos. BTW, my wife and I have been watching since the beginning.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks so much!! 💚And thanks for keeping up with us all this time! We really appreciate it 😄 We are looking forward to the adventures we'll have in this new home and we can't wait to share them with you guys as well 😄❤️

[@Pixiebelle1000]

I really like. Your window covers up from the bottom. Great invention.

[@wendegratton1291]

Love the videos, love the series, just finished watching from the beginning last night. Random thought, Bus should be named Shrek at this point....Take care stay safe, keep being as original as you are now.

[@stephendickinson9929]

I have been watching a lot of these buss to rv builds and this is one of the nicest I have seen. Well, Chuck Cassidy is the champ so we will disregard his. You kids did a great job.

[@spiritflame]

I love all the pants and extra touches

[@ALL4SCUBA05]

Great to see people who think it through and plan ahead. Nice build. I will now have to see the build. Oh, and thank you for not talking nonsense. You both kept it focused.

[@robgindc1]

Awesome, elegant, tidy, complete build - amazing job! Safe travels, have a ton of fun!

[@denver9290]

The mason jar blender hack absolutely blew my mind!!! Definitely something I’m going to be utilizing in the future

[@marykaybikerchick7767]

Wow great build! Streamlined; not cluttered! Love it!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you very much! 😄

[@sophiainoregon8768]

Your bus is beautiful! You two have done such a wonderful job converting this. Those curtains are nice. Hope you both have safe and fun travels! I will continue to watch.

[@valeriebridge7305]

Your counter top is beautiful and looks expensive even though it wasn't. I think the way you have hidden the TV is brilliant. Altogether you have created a lovely home. Best wishes for an adventurous travel.

[@lrfox49]

I watched every build video, but seeing it complete is impressive. Great Job!!

[@natalieburris2871]

This is such a nice build and I've seen a lot of them. I like the hide away TV & Counter tops. As well as the cubbie for the toilet. Creative and unique ideas.

[@scottsmith5502]

I binge watched the entire build series at 1.3X lol a week ago, awesome job, well done! It really gives me the realization that I could do a similar project also. I have three observations. 1) I suggest testing the fast cooktop burner with a large pot of water on it to see if your backsplash directly behind gets hot and just watch it carefully. Maybe it will be OK, but I can envision a lot of radiant heat on high flame with the large pot on there. 2) In your cabinet where your 3000W inverter resides, I did not see any form of ventilation if the access doors are fully closed. During sustained usage, maybe popping a mountain of popcorn lol, or using the microwave a lot, it might get too warm in there, so you may just have to test it. If it gets too warm inside you could simply install a small DC computer type (manually operated?) fan to draw the warm air out with also placing some vent holes in the wood somewhere to allow the fan to draw cool air in. 3) This is a bit more technical and it pertains to your issue with the engine batteries getting drained after a period of time. I realize you solved the problem by installing the manual disconnect switch. But, if you want to potentially find the source of the parasitic demand, you will need a multimeter that measures current. A clamp-on amp meter is easiest but you can also use the type that needs to be connected in series with the battery. With your battery switch ON, connect your current meter and read the value, it should ideally be less than 0.1 A to 0.2 A. If not, remove fuses one at a time while watching the current meter until you find where the major current draw is and then address that issue. hope this helps. cheers!

[@hutoxipatel3610]

Such well planned n Clean n spacious built with all features which makes a complete home. Awesome design. God bless u both with health happiness n loooooooooong life

[@glennda1939]

Very nice build. Really like how you tuck the toilet away. The TV cabinet is ingenious ! Great job you 2!

[@gregprior8271]

Enjoyed tour of completed bus. You all did a great job on the build. Have you looked into insulating your water and waste tanks. So if you get caught in an area where temperatures drop and stay below freezing for more than 36 hours.

[@sassyscribe8642]

Love the clever idea of a cubby for your compost toilet and that wood design is so attractive. Fantastic build!

[@ubroberts5541]

I like it. It’s very comfy. The 7.3 power stroke is reliable and easy to repair if needed.

[@karenolson5556]

Looking forward!!!!!

[@danharris59]

Wife and I want to do this for camping during the summer

[@shannongolden]

Such a sophisticated look! I looove that dark stain! Your home is so beautiful! Wish more conversions were this attractive. Spectacular job, you guys! Much love. ✨💛✨

[@redpilllense7125]

That is one AMAZING looking bus!!!! It's beautiful compact and homely. Great job and congratulations on the build. Wow, just wow! 👍

[@jayer-su3hu]

Omg I have never seen a TV hidden in the counter top that way. Genius!!!

[@kennethkempjr3531]

By far one of my favorite short bud build. Love it. Great job!!

[@bethaniejify]

I love this whole build, but the homemade curtains are the best thing I’ve seen.

[@tWz4462]

I love your home🥰and the window black outs are 🥰😍 Awesome.

[@sarahjones6342]

Aww first time watching your video.What a Beautiful inside of this bus.So warm & cozy feel.Love the colors.Take my hat off to Jimmy & Natalie great job building this bus into your home.Will go back to watch video i have seen.Stay healthy & safe.God Bless !🙏🙏🙏❤❤

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Welcome to our channel! 😊 Thanks for your kind words, and we hope you enjoy our other videos!! 😄💚

[@MilanaVillo]

Damn they really were able to fit nearly everything a bigger bus has and it doesn’t seem crowded

[@londonschoolofwigmaking5793]

Jimmy and Naderley did great. I love it.

[@budgetwithriz]

love it. so simple yet everything functions the way it should. no space wasted.

[@aureliatolentino9395]

Great job and I love how you executed your shower/toilet where you can push it in a cubby to have room for shower.

[@zadokmotorfreight2423]

Wow, that's a fantastic build!! Very high quality looking and functional! Love those retractable window shades!

[@judgedredd4073]

I've seen ALOTs of conversion but your setup is by far the best. I absolutely love it, may have to hire you two to help me with my bus. Only thing I dont like is the color on that bus, maybe a nice scenery paint job will help.

[@jameskaura9643]

Where do you two come from!? Mars!!!!!?? Oh my gosh! I am so impressed. I am damn near 50. And you two young whipper snappers come and blow my mind. GREAT JOB!

[@rethamoore4282]

Love you bus !! Enjoyed visiting with you on this tour. Thank you for sharing. I'm subscribing now.❤😃👍

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks for subbing! 💚💚

[@rebeccarothfuss-ym3gs]

Love your build. And y'all are such nice young adults. Safe travels. God be with you.❤😊🙏🏻

[@markdemedeiros3239]

You kids are nothing less than amazing....your bus build is a HOME RUN. I've seen so many and this bus by far has the most to offer in comfort and convenience. Many innovative ideas. I think that garage space is large enough to hold 2 colapsable e bikes that would be awesome to sight see on. Or at the very least 2 high powered scooters. This alternate transportation might really come in handy. So glad to see Natalie and the bus have fully recovered. Looking forward to following your adventures on the road. Stay well kids and best wishes for you both.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Love your idea for the alternative transportation, that would definitely be a nice thing t add at some point in the future. Thanks so much for watching, and for keeping up with us! 😄💚

[@conegallery]

The two of you are inspirational. I think you made very smart decisions with your build and I'm sure as you go along, you'll find what does and doesn't work the best for you. It's going to be fun watching your travels and supporting your documentary work.

[@Iluvmykids04]

I loved your bus tour. You two are some of my favorite KZbinrs to watch. I will be praying for you both for safe travels as you start traveling. I look forward to where this journey takes you.

[@darlenehorn8337]

I think you kids did such a wonderful build!! Has to be one of the best I've seen. You should be very proud of yourself. I'm a old (69yr. Old) retired school bus driver. Perhaps we can run into one another in the future. Be safe from Traveling Grandma

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you so much!! 💚And yes! Hopefully we'll see you on the road one day!

[@jenniferadams-anderson2218]

Great job, you guys. The bus is awesome. I love all your creative solutions. The TV/counter top is genius!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Yes, we are SO ready! 😄 Thanks so much!! 💚💚

[@autumnskye5010]

Wow!! Exceptionally excellent ideas 💡. Especially the hidden T.V. love ❤️ the design of this 🚌

[@conchayftw]

i have probably watched 100 different van and buss builds, but i got to say this has to be one off iff not the best build i have seen. its very well tought out, i realy like the design and it looks very liveable and comfortable. most off the builds i have seen so far, are too cramped and extremely sterile and often require alot off setup between lounging, cooking and sleeping. youre TV mount was freaking genious, absolutely loved it. youre channel just came inn to my feed a few hours ago, the one where you got stuck at the mechanics shop for a week. but im already subscribed, its a bummer having mechanical issues so early in the travels, but i hope its not to expensive to figure out. on that note i wish you all the best and good luck whit youre future travels!

[@conchayftw]

i will be watching more later when i got the time!

[@leahcramer8191]

You guys are an inspiration to other young adults. ❤

[@robertwill1694]

This bus built look amazing

[@waryrpryncs]

Pretty impressive build. I love how you thought out placement and didn't need to compromise too much for amenities

[@mariav6198]

Love everything on your bus. So beautiful and well thought out! I so appreciate when form meets function. Great job!

[@no_worries_van]

I use a blend jet for my smoothies! I love it because it’s portable and you just recharge it! Nice build!

[@oldcarjunky]

How cool ,very nice organization best I have seen yet

[@sherryr.1698]

Nice work on the bus guys and great presentation too!

[@joemurphy5769]

Love the build. Great ideas for when I start. The hidden place for the toilet is great idea.

[@janettawallace3722]

[@jasanders-6886]

Great tour guys. Thanks for sharing. Love the outdoor shower demo. that was funny.

[@gypsygg4102]

Just Amazing!!! I have to say “ Best Bus Build Out I have Seen Yet !!! “ Great Job on every thing! Thank You!!! Just Subscribed

[@brazilianredneck]

I used to make wooden signs and my favorite finishing for the edges of the signs, is natural 1" rope. When I started thinking about doing a bus conversion, I was sure that would be my way to join the walls to ceiling and all around the cabinets. Seeing your use of rope was just refreshing and cool. Great build, congrats!

[@donthonkpush9105]

Great tour. I am impressed with how much thought you gave to future uses, etc. when making decisions. Your explanations as to why you made the choices you did were helpful (even though I already knew the reasons because I have been following along on your build series). Looking forward to seeing where you two decide to adventure.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks!! We're glad you liked the tour, and really appreciate you sticking around! ❤️ We also can't wait to see where our adventures take us! 😄💚

[@randy909]

Great tour. The people who thumbed down must be jealous.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

😂😂 At least that's what we tell ourselves! Haha, just kidding! 😊 Thank you for watching!! 💚
