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.

Really turned out great. Love hearing about all the reclaimed stuff. Few things I would change but that’s personal preference. You could build these for people when things are slow for your building company! It certainly would be easy enough and there are plenty of people who like using reclaimed items! Hope your son enjoys his new digs! Vaya con Dios!!

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.

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.

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.

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🇨🇦

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. 🏝🤙

Hey, a better idea for the table is to have a pole that clicks into a small hole in the floor and table top to have the counter, but unclicks and is stored away If you need the bed Also what kind of couch is that?

Love this!!! Color? White is great to reflect sun but hard to keep clean, so maybe a two-tone gray (lighter on top, darker on bottom)? Some shade of gray, imo, is a great color (charcoal is my fav). Name? A retired vet (in a KZbin video) named her bus "Sarge" which fit her & the bus. 🙂 Since it is a retired school bus, maybe a name having to do with summer, like Summer Ride or Summer Fun? Reminds me of the song School's Out For Summer. 😃 Have fun choosing your color(s) and name! Question: where can ppl get ahold of RV fold out sofas/chairs like you found? Great fit!
