Newly Weds Build Best Camper Conversion Costing Under $10k - Simple Functional & Elegant

[@NoProGoPronto]

Congrats to this adorable couple. I love this bus! It's clean and simple, yet very functional. I especially love the hinged coffee table @10:20. What a fantastic idea!

[@TimeIdle]

One of best bus/home I've seen on YT. Lots of fantastic little ideas/creations. So clean and streamlined.

[@jenniferlorence185]

I love this Van too. It has the Best Shower Room I've ever Seen in a Van.

[@anavaytaffe7506]

My favourite part of this video is when the husband was talking about how he makes coffee every morning and breakfast at least every other morning for his wife. What a wonderful husband! I love seeing/hearing when a husband is attentive to his wife, how beautiful.

[@PepperTattoo]

And she won the bathroom debate too.

[@Live-Life-Freely]

In other words, worship her/me, ugh...

[@kellyanneree3252]

Yes a beautiful thing to see a husband that adores his wife!!!

[@Dionydejesus]

For the budget they have; and how clean it looks, this couple made a really practical $300,000 apartment on wheels and they can go anywhere they want, and off grid? It's a win-win. Smart move.👍

[@bendustin7609]

Anywhere that doesn't have winter. There is nooo insulation

[@_Bishopton]

Most of these I see spend crazy money converting these. Cool to actually see a real budget one.

[@uncleboslifelessons2448]

Right, and it looks really nice.

[@TheWorldofRobbie]

If they stay in a warm climate I'd say they've got a great budget and situation, but I noticed no insulation on the roof (possibly walls, too) Conversions get pricier when you've got to heat yourself to stay alive!

[@ShinkuGouki]

@@TheWorldofRobbie That's true,no insulation on the sides or roof. Where they're at might be perfect

[@ladygreensleeves901]

Super inspiring and hopeful that it’s doable

[@JosephDiveley]

@@TheWorldofRobbie Still if it gets too cold they can always just drive down south. It's the great thing about RV life. The only trick is having stable income or savings.

[@klouism1]

The wife found some really good deals and they both did a very nice job converting that bus. Wishing them safe travels.

[@robyndaniell434]

Idaho Rider "wife found some really good deals", yes, up to, and including, hubby! Both are smart cookies and I also wish them safe travels.

[@sapid77]

This has to be my most favorite conversion. It has a great smooth layout. Looks like is very open so you don’t feel closed in. Thank you so much for sharing a look at you home. Safe travels😎

[@ARepublicIfYouCanKeepIt]

Y'all did an incredible job on _Cecilia._ Whenever you're in the Atlanta area, you have an open invitation to come to our shop to tackle projects large or small. We have everything you'd ever need to work on her. Atlanta Auto Diesel is even just a few doors up from us in case you need any engine work done. You can park here with full electrical, and we have clean, secure restrooms and a shower. Lastly, Fort Yargo State Park is less than 10 minutes away with miles and miles of mountain bike trails, a big beautiful lake, camping/RV spots, yurts and cabins. There's never a charge to you for my time to either do something for you or with you. You only need to buy the materials and Home Depot is also less than 10 minutes away.

[@charlotte97838]

John Coloe wow, what an awesome man. It’s nice to know that there are people like you. Unbelievably kind.

[@ARepublicIfYouCanKeepIt]

@@charlotte97838 Thanks for the kind words. As a full-time van dweller, I understand the challenges of accomplishing projects while on the road. Matt and Krista seem like really nice couple and it'd be our pleasure to help these newlyweds with anything they'd like to do on _Cecilia._

[@charlotte97838]

John Coloe l’m impressed. Thank you for being you.

[@pamelamolina5623]

Cabinet making is a skill don’t underestimate the craftsmanship it takes to do it. Hard working couple. U 2 are amazing. 👍

[@Native-Kitty]

My favorite is the vintage stove. Congratulations on your marriage and the bus!

[@bayfire]

Happy is the man who treats his wife like a Queen, for he gets to be King. GOOD MAN!

[@FatherTime10]

@mahnamahnadodoobedodo indeed.

[@yagerr4279]

@bayfire beautifully put

[@jereomemoore7269]

@Aika Papa Yes times have indeed changed where women have abandoned all assumed gender roles but men are still expected to fulfill theirs which is anything but equality.

[@Libbysvideodiary]

This went from something so wholesome to something rude...

[@Bmpaul02]

mahnamahnadodoobedodo that’s some taliban shit

[@poundilas]

Proud of y'all. Your Dads really are great fathers. God bless you.

[@felixcat9318]

What an absolute gem of a travel cabin this is, the interior is light, bright and airy and the uncluttered counter space is superb as is that fantastic, restored cooker and your clever, counter top, vintage reworked sink. Drawers make so much sense in a travel cabin and these were well placed and of a good size. Nice cupboard unit too. The top opening 12v fridge on slide out drawer runners doing double duty as an extrs guest seat is particularly cool and hugely practical. Very neat and discreet clothes storage leads to the wonderfully light and clean shower and cassette toilet. Lovely bed with adjacent, brilliant coffee table type opening lid that reverts to a breakfast table to encourage one's sleepy wife awake is such a great touch. Gorgeous couch/guest bed, which looks exquisitely comfy and a great place to be awake or asleep. Your bus is a great size, and it still looks proportional with your fantastic rear deck/scooter storage and the roof deck is really spacious and special, and would be my first choice of location to chill, eat, appreciate one's surroundings and being in nature. Good solar bank too. This travel cabin has superb ergonomics, the loveliest open, airy, uncluttered feel and a kitchen to die for. I've never seen anything so utterly perfect and beautifully constructed to a very high standard as this, and I consider it to be absolutely perfect and something that I could live happily in. This is due to the beautiful, inspirational, creative and skilled owners/builders/liveaboards whom envisaged their perfect travel cabin and turned their dream into this beautiful reality! Your home is simply elegant and elegantly simple.

[@Orbedd]

I’ve watched hundreds of converted buses and this has got to be my favorite. It has EVERYTHING that I would have had in my bus if I ever did a conversion. (Maybe not everything, I would cut the couch in half to make a office/table area) but this bus is amazing

[@rachelking7002]

I love the book you have under your desk. That's the sweetest thing to hear you make your wife coffee in the morning 🌞! May God be with you and protect you during your journey!

[@baciandrio]

Congrats....what a wonderful way to start your married life. Beautifully done. Best bus conversion I've seen in a long while.

[@tiffanywarfield9375]

BEAUTIFUL, LOVING COUPLE. PERFECTLY MONITORED, SMART BUDGET AND IMMACULATELY REFRESHING, PEACEFUL AND CLEAN.....😍😍😍😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@shelleykentner4900]

Thank you from the wife and I. We’re working on our 30th year, so congrats to you guys. Love your build. Love, love it. We’re looking for practically the same thing you have but just for vacations/weekends till we sell our business and then, we’ll, who knows maybe another 30 years touring. Cheers, from Canada.

[@TheHermitHacker]

Quite easily one of the best bus builds I've seen. In fact, this one probably tops them all. There were so many great things about this design i loved, including stashing the electronics behind the couch which would be normally unused space, but also keeping them accessible for general maintenance, etc. The corner shelving in the shower/toilet wet room was also pretty nice. I never considered a short bus for lack of space, but this is a design I would personally be comfortable with. I would add a lagoon table at the couch for working from the laptop though.

[@fjtalleyauthor2242]

That's one thing I would like, too. My favorite short skoolie so far is Valerie, kzbin.info/www/bejne/kF7Tl5yvnNWnnrM, but this is my second favorite. And Cecilia has a clean look that Valerie, for all the quirkiness and character that I like, lacks. But, to each his/her/their own!

[@cassidyirwin9548]

I love how transparent they are about cost, really refreshing to see

[@CrystalVanner]

*CONGRATS ON YOUR MARRIAGE! Beautiful bus conversion, love the open space. Great deal on the fridge!!*

[@johnaquino4291]

The convertible counter top, that raises, is brilliant. The kitchen is elegant in its simplicity. What a great build!

[@nojnoj3069]

You guys have got a great start. Keep on making your lovely wife breakfast everyday. That's a good way to stay happy. You've a lovely house. I wish you both a wonderful life together. Stay happy and healthy.

[@lizh1988]

They are having fun and did a great bus conversion without worrying about money. Great job, congrats and happiness to you two. Wonderful video.

[@calliesands5592]

Really LOVE this couple, and the way the went through the bus tour! Great renovation! Really nice job!!

[@marimontalvo9145]

Love your skoolie, very simple,very,very clean, beautiful, congrats. Happy Trails, Newlyweds.

[@lorirugato6463]

Congratulations Newlyweds ❤ Love your bus! Happy Trails.

[@Andy12A45]

I've watch a million tiny home builds & Van conversions..This by far is one of the best, Beautiful van builds! Keep spoiling your wife and Happy camping! Thanks for the Look-see....Cheers .

[@stanky6261973]

Congratulations on your wedding and for you adorable bus. May God bless you, your families and your travels.

[@metin5408]

the layout in this bus is genious with the bathroom placement i mean i loved it amazing bus really

[@ritaridgeway8667]

WOW 🤩 This is the best conversion I have ever seen. The greatest use of space and materials at a good price! This would be a great extra income. Make and sell! You guys are a great couple, a true inspiration for other young couples. many happy trails 😊

[@shopart1488]

I absolutely love it when I see young kids or should I say young adults with so much craftsmanship ability. You should be very proud of yourself what a beautiful build and a wife that knows how to save money

[@debbmachado2483]

You both did a great job on the bus one of the best I have seen, wide open, efficient and very pleasing to the eye - you should be very proud of yourselves!

[@carolegroom5161]

I love it, the inside is beautiful, it’s roomy as well. Absolutely fantastic. Good luck for the future.

[@atchanih]

I like the layout. Never seen this layout before.. and it's clean and functional.

[@syalutsa]

Absolutely one of the best I have seen: so clean and well designed, functional and the open space and combination of wood and white creates an overall feeling of peaceful openness. The systems and components fit together so well, a sign of good design. Little details well thought out. Organization + careful planning + top grade inexpensive materials = beautiful functional living space. Impressive.

[@timfrank7461]

This is truly a cool bus idea 😍😍😍 Theses are my goals for life finding someone who wants to do that with me 😍😍😍

[@PepperTattoo]

nm mm (above) may still be looking for someone to share this lifestyle too. Just sayin.

[@uncleboslifelessons2448]

This is the best one I have seen. This one's not to packed and the openness of it make it look bigger.

[@lynettepatton2600]

There's more than one way to have a home.. It's interesting, innovative and courageous..best of luck and happiness to you both.

[@magnoliamike]

Lynette Patton if your going to be disrespectful this is no place for that kind of inappropriate behavior

[@laylabalhasoo1778]

This is different than the other buses I have seen and I like this one. It has what you need to live in but it needs more cabinets or shelves. Congratulations to you two. Good work.

[@susanmathis1682]

❤️ this couple!!! Wish they had a youtube channel. Very!!! Inspired by them. The van is so clean✨⭐️✨⭐️✨

[@tinlizzy39]

Maybe they will.. honeymoon season 1st😉

[@michaelfung694]

Love what u guys did with the bus.....not a lap of luxury but has everything u need....simple....thks for sharing!

[@jansmith9922]

This is one of the best van conventions. 😊 Looks amazing, well planned out & beautifully decorated WITH a bathroom (smart wife for put her foot down & smart husband for being so kind to his wife & building the bathroom and for making coffeeeee & pancakes for breakfast!! ☕️☕️) wow he’s keeper. Having a bathroom in a tiny bus is a great resale value and most importantly the only way to travel.

[@shawnas464]

Love the clean openness (is that a word?!) of this one! I’m happy for this couple!

[@Camilla_Sundholm]

I´m Swedish and this esthetic is very scandinavian with light wood and whites and greys and the minimalism. Really really love it ❤️

[@julieplant444]

Love this bus. Completely finished, nothing seems half done. Clean, bright and fabulous use of space. Congratulations 🎉 to this cute couple. Would love to see more of them. $8k is impressive. 🌟

[@f.-j.j.5738]

8k for a full furnished home and a car combo, no rent, no electricity bill, no water bill... Freedom to move around. It's amazing!

[@WildWestGal]

Gorgeous bus, gorgeous newly-wed couple!!! Happy trails, happy life, "happy ever after"! Blessings to you!

[@lindahardy8713]

I have watched soooo many of these videos I’ve & seen many really cool schoolies & vans. But if I got to choose any one I want for my own, it would be this one. I love the simplicity, clean lines & color choices. It may be “sleek”, but it is very warm & inviting. Y’all did a fabulous job on this.... you too, “Dad”.

[@timallbritton3716]

I am not easily impressed and I usually don't comment, "BUT".. WoW!!! You guys did a great job! It's an incredible space! The floor plan that you chose makes the space look so big. :)

[@carolynfallon-grijalva_onpaws]

Congrats to the newlyweds and their excellent conversion!!! If I may, I offer a bit of advice about the sink. Sand down the underside of the basin with a fine grit sandpaper and the countertop where it connects. Then go to an autobody supply and buy some tack rags & some "Duramix". (It's a self mixing two part tube.) Make sure you get the semi rigid type and apply it to the bottom of the basin and the part of the countertop it will connect to; after you've rubbed them both down with the tack rags (to get all the dust and extra bits of debris off)... let it cure (doesn't take long) and I doubt you'll ever have a problem with it breaking loose again. Cheers!!! 😘

[@angiehowie9149]

I can’t believe how beautiful this is and how little they spent!! One of my favorite builds for sure!!

[@DannyA3579]

I really like the clean look of the build. Nicely done. Congrats on the wedding.

[@wdesigns44]

Congrats on your marriage and your happy life together! I love the conversion, great job planning, organization, and interior design! What a great way to start a new life together!

[@joycestepancevich6591]

Congrats on your new life together! Nice job.

So great to see a clean bus not filled with hippie garbage. Simple, purposeful, clean, and affordable; this couple did it the right way.

[@silvanapagnotta5787]

Love the brightness in the bus. Fantastic layout too

[@janesmith5414]

i always wished i could have done this when i was younger so glad that you both took advantage of your youth to be adventurous

[@cabinlifeatedensprings1710]

That’s so cool it was your wedding get away vehicle. I love it. It’s beautiful! This floor plan would work for my husband and I. We are doing a lot of talking about a van or bus conversion. A bus would be better. We are big people plus we want to travel with our dogs. The mix of rustic & contemporary is what I like. It looks good! And it’s great that solar and propane is all you need. Thank you for the encouragement! And the tour. You have a Very nice home! Congratulations on your marriage! Enjoy your new home. Be safe and stay well! Leslye

[@redsky8509]

I sure hope this couple reads this. FANTASTIC. Same size bus I had, you did a GREAT job. Love the white ceiling, vintage stove, and everything else. Just great to see a bus done without emptying your bank account. Wonderful job.
