Solo Female Self Converted School Bus (Built In 30 Days)

Hi Everyone I did a tour with Dorit and her old bus.
Her Channel: / @doritann
She recently bought and built her new GUMBOOT BUS in 30 days at my shop.
If you want to see what is possible in a 30 Day Build this video shows a lot of possibilities and I am very proud of what she accomplished.

She is definitely adorable! She’s a modern day Pippie Longstocking. My favorite books as a young girl.

Perfect description ☺️

Most definitely!! Hope she’s familiar with her…

[@MoonStarDivide]

Thank you, i knew she reminded me of someone I loved. Couldn't put my finger on it. ☺️

[@georgiapeach7832]

“Widly didlys”. Love it! I have never heard that expression before. Too cool! Dorit is a jewel. Her bus is wonderful.

[@nikkiporter327]

Such bubbly and positive energy! Love her bus and her can do attitude! Positively contagious. 😄 Happy travels!!

[@isaacturnerit]

She is awesome!

[@MoonStarDivide]

I think her bus build has been more helpful & definitely more entertaining than most I've watched. 💜

[@katrinasheets2997]

What a fun girl! 🤣🤣🤣 This seems to be a perfect little home for her and has everything she needs. Very cute! Happy traveling, Dorit!

[@drivendesperado]

Can't get enough of her vibe. This was probably one of my top fav tours, hands down. She knows herself, her bus, her dream, and her journey so far. I wish her nothing but the best adventures down the road!

[@doritann]

thank you!!

[@ladyslair]

I am a 63 yr old divorcee and I just bought a bus! Scared to death! Overwhelmed by the thought of creating a space that is livable in ... Go figure... One month deadline. You are an inspiration. I don't even know where to start. I have a dual fuel gas/propane generator and tools. So I guess I am off to a good start. Oh yea! I have a 🚌! Like you, I have never driven a bus. My first drive will be 670 miles from Iowa to Tennessee ... Alone. And yes this build is being done by me and me alone. I am preparing myself for the insanity... And the thrill

[@rosebush5651]

Whoo hoo! You go girl! I wish you the best of luck on your journey. ☺️

[@doritann]

OOOOH!! You got this lady!!!!! It’s stressful and wonderful and fulfilling and terrible and amazing! So proud that ya made the leap into bus life! Welcome welcome!!!!

[@raybran7865]

You can do it! You got this! ❤

[@eloyanzaldua1889]

Just make sure everytin else is in workin order before u invest in the buildin of it, or the adventure may b on the side of the road. I've spent the last 4 months on tinkerin wit the mechanics of the bus. I have back up hoses n belts etc. I'll sleep on the floor wit me dogs before I venture off without knowing the bus yea.

[@charlotte97838]

Oh, I wish you were headed this way. I’d help you. My bus is on hold because of mechanical problems and I’ve only watched about four years of Bus builds so I’ve got kind of an idea on how to do this. You’re so brave taking it on yourself. I took mine on myself and I have a honey but my honey is not interested at all in it. He has no vision. Lol

[@kimstaureanbutt]

I love her. She's a free spirit who just knows she can learn anything she has too. Awesome

[@fundamental1020]

Wow, she doesn’t even need gas to drive this bus. Energy plus in a cool vibe bus.

[@carolynm8421]

"Hostage holding area/ garage" cracked me up. Love your wit GF and your bus. I'm thinking of buying one in the future and it's important for women to know that they can build out their bus themselves as well as do anything else they aspire to do. Happy travels.

[@bonafideoutside]

A beautiful bus to go with a beautiful soul! So happy for you and impressed you built in 30 days. Love your outlook and encouraging words, you’re my idol girlfrand. Lovely production Isaac :)

[@isaacturnerit]

Ahh thanks homies :)

[@debracottrill7989]

She is in the groove, to have the heart of a child and a positive attitude. Her life is filled with synchronistic manifestation. ✨

[@autumnjames4629]

This woman is rad. What is up with her? I love her, if we had more Dorits around we would all be a lot more beautifully fulfilled and jolly. The bus rocks but my dear darling sweetheart, you are the reason for the season, the hostess with the mostess, the happy sometimes sappy, sunny day human that we can all learn from!! You rock and your bus is filled with positive energy, spread that Lady!!

[@DarkRoyoftheUnderworld]

People have a hard time expressing how Van Life feels, I think she is the only one I've seen letting it out and I love it 🤩

[@GinaKayLandis]

The barrel bathtub!!! The whole build is so stunning and open - love it! And what a fun personality! Wonderful video!!!

🤣🤣🤣'my hostage holding area' -let's face it, everyone needs one! 🤣 What a beautiful spirit, go girl!

[@SouthernBelleSassy]

Like, I started out watching this and was thinking she equal parts made me laugh and gave me anxiety. But then we segue into that moment of inspirational encouragement for women the world over and I was so soothed by her voice and pulled in by her calm, thoughtful demeanor...it was almost a meditative moment. Altogether, I think she's an incredible force of energy and comfort. 👍💥👍

[@tallgirlhappyme]

*Dorit,* Girl, you are a natural entertainer. You must get working on a channel. Jaylena will teach you! All of that talent and energy! ❤ Oh, and very creative design on your bus. Way to go!

[@offairhead]

Yesss!! ^^^ thisss!!!

[@shelleykentner4900]

My beautiful strong wife was the manager of 30 old lazy stubborn men. Her stress relief was crying. Leave the building, cry in her car, then go back in and tell a unionized man that he was fired. I love that woman!! She is smart, funny, strong, and an emotional rock for her friends (and me the husband). You go girl and every other lady out there, a lot of men are idiots and I’ll be the first to say it.

[@BMUSTDIE]

OMG, your energy, you rock. Bon voyage, you beautiful soul.

[@janetruh7476]

Everyone else is saying how awesome you are and I was thinking the same thing. Love your bathtub & toilet and your beautiful plants & practical setup. You are so clever and so absolutely charming! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful build with us.

[@Chubbydippin]

Love your positive energy filled delightful personality and it will stick with me like gum on a boot during summer. A beautiful person in many ways. Don't ever change. The world needs more treasures like you in it. Thanks for the tour and safe travels.

[@ourRascalz]

Your voice reminds me of Kirsten Dunst, especially when you giggle and talk. Great job on your build and what an inspiration! Blessings to you💗

[@jakewoodisgood1]

had to pause at around the 3 minutes mark and comment on how funny this chick is. seriously the "lets talk about decks" had me rolling lol.

[@AlexandriaSlade]

This is the exact balance of not knowing how to do stuff and figuring it out I would want to do on a bus build, with maybe the exception of the electricity system. I would want to park in shade as much as possible and position my battery and panels freely, so I would probably do a movable Goal Zero or Jackery system, but I love how she adapted for not being a carpentry expert and doing her first bus. This is the exact model of bus I would dream of having for a mobile home situation.

[@W4ABN]

She's funny. Great attitude about everything. Well done.

[@isaacturnerit]

For your table legs look at levers used for drop leaf tables, these will allow you to fold the table legs up under the table and lock in place then you can set the whole tabletop down to make another bed area or lounge area for reading. just a suggestion

Love how simple the bus build is, some bus builds are so elaborate it just makes it seem impossible for someone with no build experience to do. Also love her personality. I feel like this woman was born to be someone's crazy eccentric aunt, and I mean that as a compliment.

If I’m ever able to do this it will be a shuttle bus and I’ll find a company who does these builds. No interest in doing any of that completely solo. I’ll be glad to pitch in as long as someone is there who knows what they’re doing! I am seriously not a DIY’er. Let’s face it, know your limitations and accept them!

[@gmaneis]

Nothing wrong with your way of doing it. I'm a 74 year old man with almost NO carpentry, cabinetry, or electrical skills. The disadvantage old male farts like me have is that people EXPECT us to be good at these things or we wouldn't have a bus, so it's hard on the male ego to ask for help. The skilled guys who grew up on farms or went to trade schools look at you like you're a wimp, which I am not. That's why wife and I don't have a bus and if we ever get one, it will probably be one that's already converted and for sale by folks who either don't like the lifestyle or something unfortunate got in the way of their bus plans. I really admire "Just" for living her dream.
