I love how they gave the girls so much room to grow and play in

[@dushy09]

In most of the bus homes parents occupy a large space for their bedroom and give a little space for the children. Here the parents do it the other way around. Lucky children to have considerate parents

[@twins_on_wheels_]

Aww omg that’s the nicest comment ever. We didn’t even think about it ourselves 😍 we just thought intuitively that’s what they would need and be best for all of us

[@kirstylight1739]

My daughter (13) and I were discussing tiny homes and discussing the small rooms or little bunk areas some families give their children. Neither of us thought that it was fair on the children to be dragged along on a grown ups dream and be an afterthought. Clearly not happening here, so lovely to see the children with all of the space that they need and as a priority.

[@FM-uk8rs]

I have in my care a mother GOAT and SHE HAS TWO KIDS , these people are blessed to live life freely with their beautiful twin daughters , these girls a very lucky children !🥰🐐🐐

[@Jill_T]

I love the way they incorporated a bathtub and a deck! WOW!!!

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

I love this family and their bus. It feels really comfortable to me. The deck is a great idea in function and in design and with the shade it’s perfect. They tub/shower set up is very cool. I’ve never seen anyone do that before. The keeping the bus bench/seat with the built in safety harnesses is really great. They get to be upfront and safe at the same time. Cool. The only thing that surprised me was they said they stayed in SM for a week and I would like to know where they parked. SM is notorious for not letting folks park & sleep in vehicles on the streets.

[@tnimrodi]

thanks! yea we really tried to think of everything :) We stayed actually right by the beach... it was over a year ago..

[@katherinekelly5380]

Loved how practical this build is - the deck on the side seems like a way better option for me than a rooftop deck ! Excellent job - thanks for sharing

[@twins_on_wheels_]

We think so too. It just expands the house by a lot

[@InchFab]

Safer and more accessible than a rooftop deck, too.

[@meridethhendry5733]

WoW! What a terrific home! It looks so functional as well as comfortable. Cool!

[@twins_on_wheels_]

Thanks!!

[@lindamarie6574]

What a great build and the girls have a great room!

[@angeladawn805]

Those girls are sooooo lucky. Just imagine the exploration, creativity and adaptability they'll be raised with. What a great start in life 🤗

[@daisukishikamaru4920]

What a great build with a lot of thought put into it. I love how functional everything is and the colors are wonderful! Big props to you!

[@angelikastock296]

A shiner omn her rightnesses.

[@kevinruger8819]

The bath tub idea is great and unique! I’ve never seen anyone do that before.

[@pamelawallace5875]

I Luv, Luv Ur bus. So Original 💜

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

This kind of decision may require a lot of adjustments positively cause this will be a new memories to unlock as a family. Have a blessed travels always! 👏🥰

[@lucyterrier7905]

The bus is about as big as a mobile home. Thousands of families raise their kids that way.

[@gallopingg1]

BRILLIANT

[@EmilyBltz]

Wow they did a fantastic job! They thought of everything!

[@auntnayblessed6603]

What a beautiful family💓. I really love the deck! What a great job guys❤❤❤💙. I feel the love😍 Enjoy😊

[@lynnescaddan8919]

Thanq for the video What a great home on wheels. The magnets are a brilliant idea Stay safe on your travels

[@oscarwinston1159]

Very clean and uncluttered without the upper cabinets. I'm tall and can dig it. Magnets , terrific.

[@twins_on_wheels_]

Yesss Ori is also so tall so we didn’t want upper cabinets

[@MBMCincy63]

All these videos are so wonderful and I like the variety of builds for the family's! I think they have a great setup and place for their young family! Thanks. (shivering black bell thumbs up)

[@jimblue39]

You guys have a lovely neat home, and two very cute little girls. Best of luck to all of you.😊

[@twins_on_wheels_]

תודה ❤

[@joanneganon7157]

Nice and spacious 👍😍. Thanks Jenna 😊! JO JO IN VT 💞

[@theboz1419]

The only thing I dont like about that deck is no safety for the kids on the sides

[@InchFab]

Toddlers are made of rubber, didn't you know? They bounce.

[@ruthkirch9343]

How do u keep from flipping with how unbalanced bus is? Plus with so much water on board!? Not being rude,i really want 2 know!!

[@orihab]

The bus is actually weight balanced, with equally heavy things on all sides. Fridge, electrical on drivers side, washing machine, sink, 1 water tank on pass side, another water tank in the middle. Closets all around of course. 😎

[@Natefirethemagnets]

Little kids are easy. Can you find a family to feature who's kids are like 8-18? I want to see that lifestyle. Not hating, I'm just curious.

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Yes, we several have videos like that. Check out our families living tiny playlist

[@maritzamartinez3359]

[@bethelyah2331]

Tell me about the bulletproof process!

[@gingerjolley9027]

I'm wondering what they used for the tub...

[@twins_on_wheels_]

It’s a horse trof that we painted

[@user-xq4zu1sq6b]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@splashesin8]

❤😊😊

[@beckys979]

Where's the mom's seatbelt?

[@Mammaj1963]

Cool bus, but no bathroom 😢that’s weird

[@tnimrodi]

there's a composting toilet

[@rachelflower8826]

It's one of the only buses that I have seen that doesn't have an actual bathroom. I guess it works for them, but I personally would need a bathroom.

[@angelikastock296]

Does she have a shiner ( bruise )on her left eye.

[@twins_on_wheels_]

Wtf?!? No. I don’t.

[@sweetcarefulheart]

Link to their deck?

[@tnimrodi]

no link. we built it with the help of Inch Vans

[@ritabroils6190]

Jenna, when is your second baby 👶 due? Nifty layout and rig!

[@Barb.....]

She has 2 babies. Did she say she was pregnant?

[@twins_on_wheels_]

Def not pregnant 😅 twins is enough

[@maritzamartinez3359]

PR🇵🇷🤗

[@gideonporter537]

I'm not sure that gate-lock system is all that robust - with a danger it could disengage on the open highway presenting a real danger to other motorists.

[@orihab]

It’s double locked - one on each side, and on the front I clip a carabiner which locks the “tongue”

[@gideonporter537]

@urielhabermanbrowns7950 It must be okay I guess or it wouldn't be allowed. However the normal static nature of a gate lock (on a gate) is jot the same as holding something heavy on a vehicle subject to constant vibration and rough roads...et al

[@brutally_honest]

@@gideonporter537 I feel that. In this case, with the deck folded up, there is almost zero weight on the locking mechanism itself - the deck is vertical, so the lock itself is not "holding" any weight at all - the weight is just going down into the hinges which are stiffly attached :)

[@gideonporter537]

@brutally_honest I would agree but my worry is roads can be bumpy, uneven, potholed et al, and depending on speed vibration can shake things loose as it were (we all know that even secure loads can shift/shake/vibrate loose). So perhaps a lock-tight strop as an addition might be that extra assurance required? However, no problem so far so - if it ain't broke why fix it ay? 🤣

[@teresaray6033]

You should name your bus "2±2=us".

[@lisasoar8448]

No privacy for the parents. 👎

[@twins_on_wheels_]

We actually have plenty. We have a curtain that we put for their room and then we have the rest of the bus to ourselves 😅

[@lisasoar8448]

@@twins_on_wheels_ A curtain?? That isn't privacy, but okay.

[@susankustich1720]

The bus is very nice and the tins are adorable! but I'm not all on board about the toilet and bathing area! no privacy! They mentioned they have guests staying with them do they expect the guest to use the toilet with no privacy? Sorry but I think my bladder would bust before I used with no privacy!

[@tnimrodi]

haha so we usually use the toilet for #1, we try to find other restrooms for most of #2 or go in nature. our friends/guests that stay with us are not our parents or something, mostly siblings or friends so they are jsut like us :)

[@kevinruger8819]

Him: The bus was 10k…I know that a lot to pay upfront… Everyone else: You are both from Israel…we know Dem Bois got money 😂

[@orihab]

Hahaha! The land of the rich! Where taxes above 75k$/year are 40% 🥳🥳🥳

[@anapaulacrawford5837]

Nah

[@lesbutdejour8214]

[@jenniboo9441]

Should put a rail around the deck.

[@theboz1419]

That was my first thought also. Especially with the two kids. Accidents do happen

[@twins_on_wheels_]

They know not to go on the edge and we are always out there with them

[@jenniboo9441]

@twins_on_wheels_ I'm sure. I just meant in general it would feel more like a secure, contained area if it had a rail. I wasn't trying to criticize you guys or anything
