The Most Cleverly Designed School Bus Conversion - A True Apartment On Wheels

[@TinyHomeTours]

What do you think of this awesome school bus conversion? One of the best I have seen...it honestly made me question my build layout!

[@tonylocks28]

Tiny Home Tours Omg, it’s just perfect. Nothing else is needed. Just amazing.

[@sabrasheedy5685]

Very Beautiful home. I love the kitchen. I bake so the oven is perfect. If I had a bus I'd have to have an oven and pantry.

[@mymomcn]

I’d add a portable hot tub.😀. Also he didn’t say anything about his fresh and gray water. What are their capacities?

[@peggyhiggins6923]

Perfect use of space on the bus! Love the kitchen and all your books. I grew up in NYC and had the same desire for a slower pace of life. Raised our children in the Hudson Valley which was perfect. Enjoy your home and life helping your son build his dream!

[@joannephillips6781]

I like it. For me I’d want a bigger bedroom area. So I’d cut down the sitting area down and reduce the pantry down as there plenty of storage in the kitchen, take the return off it and put the bathroom away from the bedroom in the style and narrow layout. I’d like the whole back area to be my bedroom.

[@afrogedon]

I really don't try to come off as mean to other tours of Bus or rv conversions by saying this, but I love how straight to the point he is with explaining his decisions and not talking half an hour about an immensely important doorknob he found on etsy 😅👍

I was touched by how much he prioritized working to help his son.

[@cathyhelmuth823]

I love how he created distinct living areas. A large kitchen! I’m retiring in 3 yrs after 30 years of teaching and want my retirement home to be a school bus.

[@hotcrazycatladyme168]

That's awesome! :) Good-luck. I have similar plans, but I don't plan to wait for retirement. I still thought it would be good for that purpose though because then you don't have to worry about leaving everything behind if you want to travel. Remember to find out about insurance before you invest your money though. It seems like they are getting better about offering insurance, but it's an issue many tiny home owners don't speak about enough. Who wants to spend all that money on something they love without any kind of protection, right?

[@kellyanneree3252]

Perfect 😁👍

[@clydestamp6970]

Im 24. Just getting into my career and also just became single after a 4 year relationship. Ive never felt like keeping stuff just because. And i think after saving a few years i might do this myself. Ive always liked the idea of a tiny house. Besides after the break up and moving back to my parents temporarily almost all my belongings besides mattress and a dresser fit in my jeep. So i think im ready lol.

[@nsinha27]

I never though I would ever say this. But that looks like a lotta space in a school bus. The garage is amazing. Not sure if others noticed but there was no TV. that is peaceful life.

[@staceytroffer8287]

True! His voice is adequately watered and the timbre is soothing. I don’t like hearing my narrator SWALLOW, it is a pet peeve that makes me crazy, and this man has his microphone placed correctly so I don’t hear that.

This is the best conversion I have watched. I am so impressed with the separation of the kitchen and living space. If I were to ever do one of these. I would not want a sofa facing the kitchen. Five stars too this guy.

[@cathyharris-gilliam5164]

yes so so sick of hearing about an open concept". what a breath of fresh air!!!!! EXCELLENT

[@0HARE]

This is, hands down, the best bus/van/tiny home build-out I've ever seen. The floor plan and aesthetics are perfect. I am amazed at how much it resembles an actual sticks & bricks home, and by how spacious it all seems. The garage area is an excellent addition, and I'm surprised that he had enough room left over for it. The roof deck is the crowning touch. Bravo!

[@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS]

Most well thought out bus. I like the storage cube in the middle that creates the pantry for the kitchen. I also like how he. has the bathroom running down beside the bedroom. All in all, great use of space. And the bookshelf over the long couch... great use of space that often gets left open.

[@Pnanasnoic]

What a nice man, an air of decency not found everywhere. The bus is brilliant and I would love to have one for myself. Life is changing. Life is beautiful.

[@fabfun2808]

The bus is absolutely gorgeous but what I loved the most is the dream you have with your son. How you seem connected to his past and his future. My son and I have a similar dream and I believe families should dream together. Isolated independence is over-rated.

Absolutely gorgeous. I love the kitchen space and the separation of areas. Building the bathroom at the side of the bed gave a much bigger shower area. Made the bedroom a little "cave-like" but it has a window so should be cozy without being claustrophobic. Overall just a brilliant design. Thanks for this one, Chris.

[@deborahwebb3736]

I think the sign of good interior planning is that the inside of a structure not only looks like it has more room, but DOES have more room than it could possibly have if you look at the structure from the outside. I've seen a few homes like this.

I'm curious about your water system. I didn't hear reference to holding tank(s). A truly awe inspiring build. You have everything you need, and nothing you don't. Brilliant! Happy travels!

[@wildbill23c]

Usually they don't have holding tanks, maybe fresh water occasionally, but the toilet is composting, no black holding tank needed...the shower may just drain straight through to the ground, or into a portable holding tank. Looks like he uses jugs of water, and the Berkey filter system which means he don't need a fresh water tank. All that stuff adds weight that you don't want while you are traveling anyways. Plus in cold climates those tanks have a tenancy to freeze. There are some buses that have huge cargo storage areas under the floor (think Greyhound Buses), and those would work if you want to have holding tanks, you can build the bus with the holding tanks in one or more of those cargo bays and run heating ducts to them to prevent freezing, which is what I'd do. I'd just leave the fresh water tank close to empty till I got to where I was going then stop and fill it and use it for showers and such and keep reusable water jugs for drinking water.

Very impressive. Feels the most like a real home out of any build I've seen. As opposed to a minimal approach, it looks like you actually figured out a way to include everything you could really need or want. I'm sure there was paring down necessary, but it really doesn't come across as making any compromises vs most builds I see.
