I absolutely love this lay out especially the smaller but fully functioning kitchen with more living space for seating and entertaining. I personally don't care for conversions with huge kitchens but sacrificed tiny uncomfortable looking living spaces. This is ideal for one person. As a female who would be solo, I'd only change one thing and that's, less windows for me for privacy. Great build. Thank you for sharing.

Thank You for sharing this bus turned home on wheels. The seating arrangement is outrageous .Perfect for inviting friends inside to visit. Sleeping areas easily converts into beds. I think maybe a curtain for the larger sleeping area in case someone wants to sleep in or a visitor wakes up early. Beautiful bathrm door adds character to the vibe of the bus. I like the color white for the outside. The name hmm.. Would need to think about that one . I would love to add a woman's touch. Plants , wicker baskets and black wrought iron storage baskets. Wrought iron light fixtures Things or items to add warmth to the inside. Maybe more of the bathrm colored wood door, like a shelf.

I think a collage of different colours would look cool. It depends on what your son is into. Like for me it would be covered in Deadpool and books. So something like that with his interests would be cool. Some type of curtains or blinders to keep the sun out in the mornings. I'm really impressed that you could fit a bathroom in there! I love to see how much you recycle old materials that you have. I also love the idea of converting the bus. I'd need to know more about your son to come up with a name.

Good bus for a guy. Us women need a shower, but I suppose that could come later. I hope you installed some kind of safety bar underneath that huge propane tank. Don't forget the carbon monoxide sensors /alarms. I think framing the outside windows with black paint. I've heard Sherwin Williams makes a good automotive paint would look very nice with the tinted windows. Maybe a 4 inch frame? One more thing. If you can insulate the generator, you won't anger your neighbors so much. For sure make a camping video. Sounds like fun. Overall good job!! ~New critic (lol) from Hawai'i. 🏝🤙

HAHA, that was hilarious about the horn at the end. I WAS waiting for it, but was confident it'd sneak in there somehow 😉 Looking at the outside of that bus makes me want to do a mural in the strongest way! I would find a local artist and have him sit down with your son to find his interests and what he wants to see. Maybe a lake scene that goes to mountains that turns to fields, to desert to the ocean. Like he's travelling cross country in the mural too if that makes sense. As for a name... that's harder. I caught his name is Nate and was in the Navy (thank you for your service, Nate. Also thank you to his family. I know it is hard on you too!). How about "Anchors Aweigh" since it represents the ship being under way and he's off on an travelling adventure? The inside and outside of the bus is beautiful! Seems to me you thought of just about everything. Certainly all I'd need or want. Where does he plan to travel to? YES TO A FATHER\SON (and mom if interested!) CAMPING TRIP!!! In fact, I'd go so far as to have you encourage him to vlog his travels. Lots of people watch travel videos. I'd subscribe for sure, but without a doubt it's a HUGE *YES* from me for a family camping trip as a trial run. Heather🇨🇦

Brad. If he's able to block the emergency backdoor and window, maybe build a foldable deck that connects to the trailer hitch. The deck could be folded up for storage/ driving. He'll just need to fold it down, open the backdoor and have a huge area to hangout. If you design the deck to follow the contour of the bus, he won't have to worry about creating additional drag while driving.

I took some video before doing “Brad the Builder” but the quality is not that great so they felt it wasn’t good for KZbin… But I’ll look at it again and reconsider🤠🎺

OK your question sent me on a quick search to see if I could find the laws why and thaere is one from Ontario ware some one got in trouble for using Chrome yellow so maybe if you go with some other yellow it might be OK but the common saying is to not do it Evan thoe I haven't found any laws that just means I didn't use the right key words I'd ask the dmv in your area about it and maybe you can hear

The answer I got when I asked waas just couse But it makes sense if you let a look alike put around then thay might be able to fool adults and kids and it's bad enough that we got to be learie of vans driving by

A military theme on the outside of the bus might be nice. How about camouflage paint on the lower half and red white and blue on the top ? Some nice American flag decals on the front then he could get state flag stickers for each state as he goes through them. 🇺🇸👍

Sir you obviously have skills and you did a great job for your son. There are millions of videos on here of bus builds that might give you some ideas for other things you may want to do with your build. When you retire, you could make a great living building out buses and vans for Nomads.

I really like the overhead rack, very useful thing to have. One thing I would change is the bathroom door. I would put in a sliding door instead. 🙂

Quick note: a heater *below* the fridge? And some of that open storage is going to be an issue. And original roof/exposed windows I see a lot of cold/heat leaks; esp w/little insulation. Other then that, its a pretty build.

Are you concerned with the open storage falling out? We’re coming up with net system to hold it in place. 🎺👍
