Master Woodworker Converts Bus to Tiny House on Wheels

[@Wanderboom]

Thanks again Seven for sharing our bus with your viewers! We hope people enjoy it as much as we enjoy living in it.😉✌️

[@Taximan90]

Glad you met up with Eric and Robin!!! They are good people and did a nice job on their bus.. I am using some of his ideas on mine.

[@daretodream...898]

Lovely bus build. Thank you, Eric and Robin, for sharing your wonderful home on wheels. Happy Trails.

[@bobshaw4063]

Beautiful woodworking . Eric did a great job .

[@sunnyvanlife6320]

What a nice couple.......loved the tour and the bus.

[@ec9833]

Wonderful people. Really, truly, kind, compassionate people and Eric's work is just so thoughtful.

[@mscalucas]

He saved wood for years until he had a purpose for it, they built the interior of the bus around their artwork, he used more than one type of wood. This bus is truly a work of art.

[@deanpitman3325]

Wow. Absolutely gorgeous woodwork.

[@donwyates]

As a long time woodworker (not a "master") myself, and and long time amateur photographer, the main thing I would've focused on to illustrate his craftsmanship, would be close-ups of examples of such.

[@AnnMcGovern-e9v]

I’d like to keep the existing bus ceiling for attaching artwork with magnets so I can keep a lot of my art prints

[@suesorensen2440]

Madison, WI. --Woot!! What a lovely bus!! Wish I had the skill to create such a gorgeous, functional home on wheels ;-). ..PeAcE

[@davidstorton910]

I'm in love with those walnut work surfaces, The wood alone here in the UK would cost over a £1000.00 though

[@srameypr]

Seven, you're doing a great job with rig tours!

[@kateackerly6559]

Thank you. About to start on my short bus. Well... I'm in the oh my gawd what did I get myself into stage. Body work, wiring, geeze that's a cramped engine compartment! Thank you for a look at possibilities.

[@tonydavis5053]

Nice rig, looks like a fun couple!

[@lass-inangeles7564]

The zero gravity lounge chairs are excellent for everyday use. Buy from Costco seasonally for $60 as they are overpriced on Amazon. They save your back, even for living room use in a house. No more back compression. They fold up flat when not in use, function like a traditional chair or lounge chair. Goodbye sciatic nerve pinching, lower vertebra compression, no more pain. Use this instead of a pricey recliner in your house to alleviate and prevent back pain. Love the C channel metal edging on the walls. I think that is an ingenious way to build a lean profile wall. How do you attach the wall at the base and ceiling? Do you need to brace it diagonally? I'm a novice at wood working, so would appreciate this tip. Pity we never got to see the shower area if any and only brief view of bathroom, and no view of closet or battery electronic setup. Please devote some time to showing the guts of the van not just the surface decor and too much face time. Please show the van not the man.

[@missalphaomegagod-2u]

Thank you for the chair tip! 😉

[@thizizliz]

One of my favorite traveling homes & couples! Thanks Seven.

[@greggfla]

Very impressive, outstanding build! 👍

[@simplemanduke7128]

A beautiful build

[@Badgeweefixstuff]

Awesome friends awesome this is truly a master at work. He had this wood for along time before he built it. It is worth the admission just to see it just stunning 🛠🛠

[@TKevinBlanc]

"I'm a big Frank Lloyd Wright fan"... with that mustache, I was expecting you to say Frank Zappa. :)

[@Wanderboom]

Kevin Blanc Definitely a Frank Zappa fan!!

[@jean405]

Wander boom 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing.

[@FrisellFan01]

fantastic job..... I love your bus.....

[@jenniferwong4530]

Just found your channel! I got watching and was so absorbed, I skipped dinner! Love it and subscribed!

[@Scorpiomary]

Beautiful bus thanks Seven ❤

[@marielouise5703]

I love your new channel, Seven! How are you doing, sir? This is Rev.Mrs. Smith Gibbs . I plan to change my account but will follow you then too. Good luck!

[@KennethRayable]

Nice tour Seven.

[@paulhunter546]

Very cool..love the build !

[@andreawisner7358]

More details on how he built those walls please. Detailed instructions would be great.

[@sanderkaplan8838]

look on you tube "wanderboom"

[@pamcolechadwell1302]

Eric is so talented he is a true artist, I just wonder what kind of build he could really come up with If the materials were unlimited and If he had all the time to take the build slowly. Yeah, I don't understand these people that are building tiny and going tiny but always think about a place for guests to sleep. I think it should be about your tiny/small space and friends and family should respect your tiny space and not ask to stay all night or go with you. Just silly.

[@richardmccombs617]

Nice build , hope they did the bulet proof rebuild to that 6.0. Don't understand the people who have the desiel heaters with separate tank when they have a desiel bus. Tap into main tank ! If you worry about not managing your fuel , carry a Gerry can! Just saying.

[@clarkclarke]

This is really nice ...have seen them on another channel ....

[@jaxladytrucker8206]

I am from Wisconsin...this is pretty cool....i do drive truck so i do have my "tiny" home on the road! lol

[@ec9833]

jax theladytrucker my 16 year old, commenting on all the trucks we inevitably see, at the truck stops we inevitably go to, on the daily, traveling as we do, said, "Truck drivers should make their cabs into tiny homes...". ☺️ "They are tiny homes, a lot of them..." "REALLY???!!" LOL One of those many "aha!"/"no way!" moments we collect in our adolescence. 😆

[@sueschultz9358]

I am from Wisconsin too! I would love to travel in a bus like yours. A friend of ours travels in a smaller bus. Cant remember what he has tho. Love your layout. I noticed....no shower? Do you tend to park where a shower is available? Have fun!

[@pamcolechadwell1302]

I think this couple may be on the west coast not sure really, But, you have to check out there Skoolie it's so pretty and has it all at just 25 feet long. Birdie Venture

[@mikemanjo2458]

Great job! Beautiful woodwork!

[@AnnMcGovern-e9v]

Did you insulate the ceiling? If no, have you regret that decision? Is it magnetic?

[@Lovelace069]

That's my kinda home. A long overall view of the space would have been grand.

[@mauliebella]

I love your style guys!!!❤❤

[@debraderoos5225]

Super cool. Is there a shower?

[@OldDunollieman]

Craftmanship is excellent but that bus would be way too small for me I've got a 36ft motorhome and it's a little cramped at times, moving table etc. to make the bed out is just a pain every night

[@marylee6838]

That's the size bus I want.

[@nikos-giorgos]

It would be nice if you attached something to the paracord hooks, so you could unhook them more easily.

[@vikidobe]

what is your table leg?

[@tammyfleming3643]

Beautiful!

[@carlscottamos6501]

I'm disappointed. I was expecting to see a full woodworking shop, pulled out of nowhere. Not really disappointed. Good video.

[@franceselainethurston1606]

There are better bathrooms in a camper. A trailer would cost perhaps less, weigh less, and have more.

[@maryolson3677]

Love it.

[@rodellwilliams871]

Beautiful 👍🏾🙏🏾

[@SidewalkDreamsRecords]

Epic.

[@peggyprose]

Fridge? Shower?

[@cerealaugher]

shower ?

[@spiner111333]

Master woodworker??? A lot of uneven drawers... Master is a stretch.

[@ec9833]

Jimmy Spin oh honey...you wouldn't, couldn't know. This man is the sh#t. A heart of gold to go along with. Maybe see his work in person... And, maybe you're seeing wonky things because you're never level in a converted rig? Could be several things but one thing it isn't, is Eric's work. 💁🏽‍♀️

[@YahDude]

This thing probably gets 6mpg, that expensive sprinters going to look pretty cheap soon. Nice build though.

[@RustyZipper]

There are apps where you can compare mileage and fuel savings. It requires many miles to offset the difference. Plus the sprinters are more narrow, pretty flimsy and like she couldn’t say: junk

[@YahDude]

@@RustyZipper Who says Sprinters are junk? Only the dodge of certain years had issues. I've read articles of people who've driven these buses for a living and said you couldn't pay them to build out of one. A sprinter or other van nearing 20mpg will quickly pay for itself over a bus getting 10 or under when you're traveling around the US, not only that, if this is diesel you're paying more in gas. There's a lot of factors to consider, how many miles you're driving and such, what the maintenance costs are typically etc. A bus is probably a good choice if you're standing still most of the time.

[@RustyZipper]

The Dude - well said. Where I live there are a lot of folks living on beautiful Yachts during the summer. I ask the employees if they ever leave the marina and they say:” no, they can’t afford the fuel!” They just sit in the smelly Harbor drinking wine in the hot sun ☀️ it’s my idea of hell! But for them it’s paradise. A Sprinter would be good for a single person or couples weekend warrior but these retired couples want a place to get comfortable and have their space, make it their home, not ram the roads (assuming)

[@Wanderboom]

A lot of questions about mileage. We average 12 to 14 mpg. It’s a 2005 Ford bulletproofed 6.0 turbo diesel.

[@YahDude]

@@Wanderboom What does bulletproofed mean?
