Is this the best build? No. But what makes me smile is that she built exactly what she wanted it to be, so in a way it is a best build. I always wonder watching these: How much did the build add to the character and personality of the builder? Who knows. but 13:58-14:40 was what I was waiting to hear. I wish more people would challenge themselves to sacrifice for a dream. On a side note, a lot of you are watching builds to live in, but, sometimes building something just to travel and vacation in is all you need. You don't have to add boondocking-galore-everything in your build. Just some simple shore power and water hookups and hit up campgrounds. I used to do travel in a built van and never stayed anywhere but campgrounds with toilets and showers, so easy and pretty cheap too. Carley you did great, hope to see your next build some day.

The music was way too loud in this video. Aside from that, it was a fantastic bus! Loved her personality and the bus was well put together too! Great kitchen space! The shower is awesome! Love the aesthetics and the big foot thing was great! The love and hard work she put into this shows in everything she's done throughout! Fantastic!

Big foot is ABSOLUTELY 100% REAL! Bad ass bus btw, I dig how you refer to it as "her" or "she" also, look into glass for that house door that's not breakable. Someone could smash that glass and just open the door. Pray it never happens, but I'm over protective, I notice thing like that🤦😂
