This is the second video I've seen that features this bus, however the inclusion of the footage of Clarence is such a sweet touch.

[@DiamondDirtBikeDuo]

Dakota Rose it was fun being able to track down the original footage!😀

[@devinrogers6877]

So nice that your preserving this craftsman's labor of love .

[@kelseyhensley5625]

I hope y’all take the time to visit the places that Clarence had marked on the map. To fulfill his adventure would be nice.

[@robinbrown7953]

I think it is awesome that you guys kept so many of the original things that the original owners worked so hard and passionately to create...most people these days don’t care much about history...they would just tear it out and start over....you guys have a cool rig!!

[@danielfernandeskreknicki9112]

Great job. Beautiful bus.

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

This is one badass rig. 😁 The original creator had some skills. Thumbs up for the new owners keeping it truckin and for the gentleman that put in together 👍

[@cenedraleaheldra5275]

Oh my I love the look I love that era in cars and buses. The colours the inside..everything is done brilliant

[@susanlarson215]

Clarence would be so proud of what you've done and I love that you used so much of his design. Great job! 💖🐾💖

[@DiamondDirtBikeDuo]

Was such a treat to have you guys out. Thank you. Hope our paths cross again!

[@janjones690]

Thats nice but they have to shower elsewarr .and what about laundry?

[@jeromeclaessen3921]

You're absolutely stunning! Yea you, who's reading this.

[@brendaswann7292]

You are stewards of a beautiful piece of history, bless your hearts. I am some what like you, as I believe I was born in the wrong decade. I hope you LIVE in the moment of your beautiful journey. Your home deserves having you as it’s guardians. Safe travels and hope you find a way of getting an oven for baking .... you go. 🇨🇦👏🏽🙏🏼🚌🙏🏼👏🏽🇨🇦

[@justendaniel9797]

Thelma and Clarence did a great job of turning that classic bus into a work of art. And you two did a great job of showing off your beautiful RV in this video. Happy Camping...

[@maiingan07]

You run into the coolest abodes and people living in them, what a great adventure you’re having and so happy for you. Clarence was a master. His wife Helga an artist in her own right, and I’m sure Clarence’s rock through all of this. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’d ask Clarence if he could do this or that and he’d go to the drawing board and make it happen. This is the first time I actually enjoyed watching an owner go around the outside of their moving abode and explain the majority of what goes on and what makes it run, and the storage etc., very cool. Thanks for bringing this to us, another excellent video for sure. Stay smiling.

[@ShortyG724]

This has got to be one of the neatest conversions on here. Bravo to everyone that had a hand creating this work of art

[@boulder89984]

That is by far one of the coolest builds of all time. Thanks for the tour!

[@JuniperJupiter]

It's sweet they left a lot of bits of Clarence and Thelma's touches as an homage. And their doggy is cute, too. :D

[@Tarawa1943]

The 🐕 resembles Rubeus Hagrid’s Fang from the Harry Potter films.

[@DiamondDirtBikeDuo]

That's because it's the same breed as fang. 😆

[@arthurias7693]

well, considering Clarence built the thing, I'd say they're the ones who've added touches

[@takeitallin6882]

I would suspect that C&T would be pleased that you guys now own & respect their dream. Beautiful & respectful what you've done. Safe travels. bg

[@sookiegirl8707]

Crazy to me how this all began in Olympia WA, where I live:) I love how nostalgic the people here are!

[@MushroomFromMars]

The best old skoolie I've seen on KZbin. Don't ever sell it!

[@moose5790]

Geat work team, I love what you have done and also your acknowledgement to the previous owner all the best on your travels regards from New Zealand :)

[@laurakramer396]

I'm in love with your bus. The lighting makes it feel so cozy and welcoming.

[@Fithvial]

Katie is gorgeous, Josh is a lucky guy. Love the bus too!

[@brownbunny2513]

I am thinking about doing this lifestyle with a regular school bus. Just doing it alone scares the mess out of me.. Lovely couple, beautiful bus and build. Thank you for sharing your home.

[@amyalvarado3762]

I love the story...Clarence included!

[@smalugin383]

I am so glad you added your touches to the original owner's it is so beautiful. You have made my day.

[@bevtrue6937]

Beautiful bus, beautiful antiques. Great job.

[@sunroameroverland]

[@marthamurray8379]

[@travelingsellvation]

Wow! We renovated a 1999 Fleetwood and thought that was an oldie! Beautiful!

[@kathrynb4683]

Love the feel of that bus. I saw one in LA and couldn't take my eyes off of it. Brought back great memories of riding downtown as a toddler with my mom. Thanks for the look inside.

[@Journey5074]

I cannot believe how gorgeous this bus is!!! WOW!! This bus is amazing!!

[@euchrideucrow1970]

Blimey! This is next level vintage glamour. Stunning!

[@ChillDrive]

The most amazing build EVER! Even from the video it make me feel like everything is from 60’s (?). JUST WOW

[@brianresch4692]

[@danokitemanotoo1791]

Love that you found a vintage build to make your own & the history behind it too!

[@kulaniwarner2424]

Dude, what an amazing home!!!! What a WONDERFUL and lucky find!!!!!

[@juanitaskelton448]

Such a cozy and homey and retro delux atmosphere. I think your bus feels like Clarence and his wife are still in there with you two beauties! Your dog feels like "The Grand Vizier". A noble beast is he...or she? I love the pilot's cabin. Everything feels solid and comfort driven. Thank you for sharing!

[@kenmartin9227]

Very impressive. Greetings from Spokane

[@charliesydnor8889]

That is an absolutely awesome bus. I could live full time in that myself. It is just so cool and in beautiful condition for its age. The old guy did an amazing job especially the slide out. He must have been an amazing fabrication expert. Absolutely love what you guys have done to put your own touches. 🥰

[@nealeburgess6756]

What an amazing bus home. The quality of the cabinet work and other aspects of the build is really good. Clarence and Thelma did a great job, and it looks like you two are also doing a great job as caretakers of this real classic. Well done.

[@SoCalFreelance]

Great story, and what a fun place to live and travel.

[@vibeandride2984]

This is the coolest bus house conversion on KZbin

[@dreams..forlove1402]

All that its awesome.bus souper.guys you have good job for all this lifestyle.my love there.

[@BUNN11CORE]

He was one of my middle schools returning substitute teachers. He was great! Everyone really liked him, super kind and charismatic. He subbed for my homeroom/gym teacher a lot. I finally decided to actually look for him, after I had gotten away from that middle school mindset…

[@bonbon5980]

Love your pooch....that is a big old bundle of puppy love! And the retro bus itself is amazing.....it’s 3 years older then me - lol! Enjoy your adventures kids and you’re right to do it when your young. Too many people have shoulda coulda woulda regrets......

[@melissabenson6749]

U can make anything in a convection oven, that U can in a regular oven; broil, BAKE, toast, etc., & they’re small & pretty inexpensive, I love mine! Great bus, great nostalgia!!!👍🏻✌🏼

[@grayeagleswolves]

I Love your Bus its so beautiful thank you for showing us

[@robertmattox9715]

[@lancemartin7584]

What an AMAZING bus with a really cool back story!!! I'm so jelly!!!

[@offroad8163]

This is awesome. And my dream is to be able to TRAVEL RT 66 also, it would be amazing. Safe travels 👍

[@roycelane8318]

[@bryankrauss6393]

Favorite looking bus exterior wise

[@lauraadams528]

This is just amazing!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@sarahbethsstitching9937]

If I can make a suggestion a power air fryer is a convection oven and you can bake in these ....or just a regular convection would be awesome.

[@bjwieland-doucet5917]

I have no words on how this bus makes me feel. XOXOXO

[@sixtyate68]

The music went really well for the theme of the bus and video

[@jimeckert607]

[@clarkclarke]

[@tracykehoe8292]

What a beauty....so cool that you are keeping Clarence's dream alive.

[@shannonmurphy9790]

Love all the video of the original owner :)

[@sandrawilde1134]

I think you right by purchasing that pretty vintage bus and I liked the way you decorated with more vintage things and made some changes to your liking.

[@allenbass4714]

I really like your bus. I own a 1958 Kenworth Pacific that I acquired in 2001 and been living in it since 2004 full time. The serial number of my bus is #99585 . Congratulations on the bus, I'm sure you are going to enjoy it.

[@DiamondDirtBikeDuo]

Would love to see. Look us up on Instagram!

[@sianwraith1984]

I love this, & would love to locate my own bus to move into, ASAP. Jave no idea of where to look

[@melaniedavenport]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your bus!

[@amandasanders1141]

Amazing - looks much more homely having some of the windows blocked out too. A lot of buses feel really exposed, like a goldfish bowl!

[@loriray487]

I luv the retro! Beautiful. C what imagination people have when it comes 2 a tiny home. Gorgeous.

[@goodstuffbetterstuff7207]

Good for you two!! Love the bus story. Keep on truckin

[@faze_buendia9514]

what a fantastic find, you 2 have turned it into a beautiful cozy home, great job!!

[@mjoverocker6072]

Wow its so beautiful, y'all are so lucky to live in this

[@CraftAndu]

Jokes on you, I wanted a bus even before I saw this video! Stunning home, BTW!

[@bonnienklyde918]

Such a beautiful bus. Very cozy and homey.

[@debbienye6002]

I love this bus! Great job keeping it real! I also, as a VW gal, notice several VWs in the background. Nice!

[@TourmalineDragonfly]

Great Year ~

[@id104335409]

I like how everything looks so old that it makes you woder how does it even function. Is it powered by magic?

[@RedEye19]

id104335409: Wheels are old too. Do you think magic makes them go round and round as well?

[@id104335409]

@@RedEye19 hehe, if you manage to to stop on a rainy day with old tires - that's magic.

[@terrygaedchens5928]

The color scheme really works.

[@boombendiary]

Wow I love the story and this bus is belong to you 🥰

[@funkyjones]

Wow...what a beauty! The bus is nice too...

[@ewalker1057]

Thank you for the history. Nice

[@Lili-xq9sn]

Great job! Try a cast iron pot with lid (with a lip on top and feet on bottom) on open fire as your oven.

[@robertfreund7525]

Perfect. Grat build and pretty girl, that is perfect house on weels. Wish you lot's of great time on yours trip's. All best.

[@iiatargetanalyst3046]

🥰 the rig, and its vintage built by a engineer Pooch droopy face is absolutely adorable

[@jonisjourneys3684]

Love the bus💜 the dog is adorable 🌻

[@livvlivingintokyo]

Clarence and Thelma were geniuses ahead of their time!

[@livingitup9647]

What a FIND you two stumbled on! It's fantastic. And you two seem like the perfect new owners to carry on the legacy of the builder and his wife. I bet their grandkids are delighted knowing that you both have put so much love into maintaining and restoring their family treasure. Good on ya! I hope you keep it as an accessory dwelling (if you do return to sticks and bricks), perhaps an Air BnB, for many years to come. ;- )

[@Sassyglbeauty]

Wow! That’s amazing that this man seems to have essentially invented the modern day slide out. I also love that they r preserving the work by the previous owners.
