VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Join the Gossett family on an exclusive tour of their rolling haven - a meticulously converted bus that perfectly encapsulates their adventurous spirit and love for tiny living! 🚌✨
🍳 The journey begins in the heart of their home: the kitchen. This culinary nook is a marvel of space optimization, boasting extensive storage that comfortably accommodates everything from an ice maker to fragile glassware. Key features like the real penny tile backsplash, white epoxy-coated butcher block counters, and a generously sized sink underscore the family's commitment to practicality and style in tight quarters.
🔥 Transitioning to the living area, the family enjoys the comfort and versatility of a 5.5-foot couch, which cleverly conceals ample storage beneath. After replacing their fireplace with an efficient diesel heater, the Gossetts ensure their home remains cozy and warm, regardless of their geographical whereabouts. Hidden within the cozy confines are a fully-equipped office and an entertainment system, blending work and relaxation seamlessly.
👧👧 Prioritizing their children's needs and comfort, the Gossip kids' bedroom is a thoughtfully designed sanctuary. Equipped with twin bunks, plenty of storage, and whimsical portholes, it's a space that encourages creativity and rest. A built-in vacuum system cleverly utilizes the available space, making cleanliness a convenient task.
💵 Financially, the Gossett family's journey began with the purchase of their bus for $15,000, with the total renovations and upgrades summing up to around $60,000. This investment has transformed their bus into a cherished and invaluable abode.
🚿 The compact bathroom is ingeniously designed to offer full functionality. It features a tiled shower, a composting toilet, and a small sink, effectively meeting the family's daily needs while conserving space.
🛏️ In their bedroom, the Gossetts balance their desire for comfort with practical necessities, opting for a queen bed to accommodate a much-needed washer and dryer. This area, controlled for temperature with a mini-split system, ensures comfortable nights regardless of the season.
🔋 On the technical front, their home is powered by a robust Victron energy system, with plans to expand their battery capacity to enhance their off-grid capabilities.
🌏 The Gossett family's journey in their bus is more than an adventure; it's a testament to resilience, growth, and the rich tapestry of experiences that life on the road weaves. They embrace each challenge as an opportunity for growth, finding joy in new experiences and connections made along the way.
Thanks for stepping into the world of the Gossetts! Their unique journey showcases the beauty of life on wheels, blending practical living with the endless thrill of discovery. #GossipFamilyAdventures #TinyHomeOnWheels #BusLifeExplorers 🌟🚍

I’ve been watching tiny living videos probably hundreds or thousands over several years and I have to say yours is the best I’ve ever seen! I find some of the tiny homes, messy, and the aesthetic makes me not feel like I could live there. But how you’ve put everything in place and you keep it organized and considered storage plus it looks like a real home and extremely functional and I just love it. Great job.❤❤❤

[@Gossett31]

This is so kind of you to say thank you!!!

[@Dancinbear1995]

I agree but would like bigger windows in the living room area, feels a little alley like. Other than that the bus is awesome, love the spice drawer and huge sink with all the counter space! Beautiful!

[@Shi-shy_Janae]

Yeesss I love it ❤ this is the best I've seen❤❤☺☺

[@sporkthegoober]

I LOVE this bus. I’m almost dying at the kitchen, it’s stunning. This is the first van I’ve seen where the kids actually have a room instead of little sleeping pods. Absolutely fantastic, love color choices, love exterior. Well done, beautiful.

[@Gossett31]

Thank you so much! Our children were first in mind when designing this. We wanted to make sure that they felt like they had their very own space.

[@duvessa2003]

It’s amazing how much storage and privacy there is, yet it still seems open and roomy. Incredible job, Guys!

Vielen Dank, daß Sie uns allen Ihr wundervolles Zuhause gezeigt haben. Sie haben tolle Arbeit geleistet, und ein super organisiertes Heim geschaffen.

Man würde sofort einziehen wollen 🥰 Ich wünsche Ihrer ganzen Familie eine wunderschöne Zeit in Ihrem Zuhause mit aufregenden Abenteuern. Bleiben Sie alle wohlbehütet.

What a beautifully laid out home. Congratulations on doing a wonderful job with it. I think it is great that everyone has privacy and everything has a place. Goes to show that people don't need huge homes, they need to live a happier and thoughtful life. Big houses with everything that goes with it just adds stress to their lives.

[@Mr.StarryBreeze]

Love so many aspects of your build. The huge sink is great and your organizing skills are top notch. Love the girls room and study/arts area along with your thoughtful recognition of privacy. Love your smart choices. Tastefully done. Wishing you only the best.

[@Tanya5757-rm]

Very nices home/ bus

[@spirals73]

If she could find room somewhere, there are laundry spinners meant for handwashing. I had a manual countertop washer in my last apartment that did not have a spin dry cycle and the spinner extracted water so quickly--in fewer than 5 minutes--that there would be some dry spots on the clothes. Air drying was quicker. I used it just yesterday because while we have a full-sized washer and dryer, our washer suddenly stopped going through the fast part of the spin cycle. I had washed a sweatshirt and it was saturated with water like an overfull sponge. I ran it in my spinner for maybe 2 minutes and it was more dry than if the washer had been working normally. I got my spinner from a company called The Laundry Alternative. Even without a washer and dryer, one of those spinner things is a game changer.

[@0Jayla230]

I’ve watched so many school bus tiny homes and this by far is the best video I’ve watched. Love the layout. But I’m wondering if you regret the gas stove? And how often do you use it? Also you mentioned about hand washing clothes but was wondering why hand wash, when you do have a washer/dryer combo?

[@Gossett31]

It’s mainly for washing swimsuits and délicates that I hand wash. No need to waste water and electricity by using the washing machine for those! Thanks for the great question!

[@Gossett31]

We use the gas stove a lot! Maybe every day 😊

[@SamehKhan]

I'm doing a build right now and having been thinking about deep, dark exterior colours like they have on their bus. But I know that dark colours have way higher heat absorption. How has cooling worked out given that you painted the bus dark blue on the outside?

[@Gossett31]

To be honest, yes it does absorb heat, however we have great insulation which helps along with the fact that all the bus windows are gone helps a ton. The windows we have found are really where so much of the heat comes into the bus. We also try and stay around 70-80 degree weather. This week it was 88 and it was extremely comfortable in the bus.

[@SamehKhan]

@@Gossett31That's great to hear! I'm following a similar plan to stay in 70-80 deg weather. If you could share the details on your mini-split and diesel heater (kw, btu) that would be super helpful. You mentioned the diesel heater might have been overpowered, was that true of the mini split cooling as well? Do you ever use the mini split for heat, or just rely on the diesel heater? It's rare to find someone with such a similar build in terms of total interior size, colour, and following the same heating/cooling solution. Thanks so much for taking the time to make a video about it :)

[@Gossett31]

We use the mini split for heat as well- but the diesel heater is much more efficient because it doesn’t take away from our battery bank. The mini split is used every day for air in the summer! I think it’s beneficial to have both but definitely need to make sure your solar and battery can handle using the mini split all the time. I’d really like to get another mini split for the front of the bus as well.

[@SamehKhan]

@@Gossett31 Yeah I've been considering having 2 cooling units for better distribution. I'd be happy to share my calculations with you when I get to that stage :) Do you know how big your mini split and diesel heater are?

[@marymoran719]

Do you have a car to drive to grocery stores etc. or do you have to drive the bus

Lady, there's nothing "small" about your house! Its huge & must be extremely heavy? ( Whats the fuel efficiency?) That said, its gorgeous! 💚 All you need now is a 50,000 gallon fuel reserve so if the zombie apocalypse happens youll have the reserves you need to keep moving & circle back? Safe travels.

What about your twin sons? Do you see them often or are they on with their own lives?

[@Gossett31]

Hi! We make sure to see our twins. We fly them to us several times a year, and always spend the holidays with them, but to be honest they are 20 with their own lives and girlfriends and jobs. We raised them to be independent and they’re incredibly successful at such a young age.
