With the amount of new power options out there, tiny home builders are getting clever. This couple used a Tesla battery to power their DIY tiny house on wheels!

[@heyster3]

Have you heard of people using Prius hybrid battery packs? They should be more plentiful than Tesla battery packs. Haven't found a van build using hybrid battery packs so hope you have better luck finding them.

[@MrErixair]

Please let us know what battery management system (bms) you use for your Tesla battery pack? What would you suggest for a 48 volt system using two Tesla batteries modules?

The bathroom sold me!! The vented floor, the heated towel rack, the water system, the accordion door. Love it!

[@withgoddess8029]

They have thought about absolutely everything. The place is gorgeous it's like a show home. They must be so proud of themselves for doing so well at such a young age. I wish them the best of luck.

[@elvisfangirl9093]

David is an engineer for sure!! Very bright and ingenious. Great job

[@est1981LA]

The way David talks reminds me of Jason from The Good Place

[@AustinConnell]

i knew i was getting some familiar vibes haha

[@lisaanndavis3289]

I was thinking David has some Asian in him.

[@spiritlove2]

He reminded me of cj fashion, lol

[@elainegonzalez5279]

Same lol he does look mix but also smart!!

[@corpsycrystal5045]

I literally died when I read this..... 🤣

[@Stacy_Sunshine]

I've been pondering the flow of a recirculating shower, and had to rewind to make sure I heard you right. off to look at designs, as this is one luxury I am not willing to give up! ;)

[@shavaunaronan3188]

This is an amazing build. I love the heated floor idea, everything about it is well thought out and functional. Everything about this build is just awesome!

[@elainelipscomb1476]

What a wonderful layout You have everything you need.I am 83 travel in a Winnebago journey motorhome .You young people are really smart. ENJOY LIFE...

[@stephanieprice8247]

Super intelligent and talented guy. Love all the storage you have and that bathroom is a definite thumbs up. Yours is one of the few buses I could actually see myself enjoying.

[@UnKnown-zy1km]

Wow nice bus and the solar is impressive first Bus I've seen that can run AC all day with no problems with power drain. Beautiful bus very well done... ❤❤👍🏻👍🏻👏👏

[@-COBRA]

functional details is what makes this conversion superior

[@vanessagraham1908]

I actually drive a school bus for work I would love to get a pusher bus ; the engine is in the back, to convert . It's amazing how much you can fit into a bus, make nice and call it your home.

[@sandyworkman3025]

Any guy who has built a plywood derby car is alright by me.😎 It shows he can dream. It shows he's a good engineer.It shows he can have fun.

[@jasongrinnell1986]

Nice build. Some very good features. I got a little over excited with the heated towel racks. Nice touch. Cheers 🥂

[@Maddiehere89]

Yes I want to use you to help make my skoolie the way I want it!

[@leilal8053]

Very nice Floorplan......a welcome change from the typical "Hello kitchen sink" the moment you step through the door 🚪.

[@TK-th9vu]

I didn't like it, I LOVE it! Kudo's to you. So nice to see a young couple succeeding

[@tWz4462]

Love this.. I hope I can have him build my Home on wheels.. one day☺️👍

[@eobage369]

I love you two. U both r smart, ambitious, creative, yes a match in heaven. I've been looking for a tiny home and looking at goosenecks, trait trailers, Van's and buses. If I choose a bus...I will be contacting u 2. I'm very impressed too say the least. I like David's ingenuity and creativity. Just can't enough about u guys. Thank you so much 4 sharing.

[@sbb6779]

Window shades are brilliant, would love to see more on how those are built as well as the radiant heat system. Great build!

[@anthonycastillo2255]

Yea me too

[@annbullard7657]

Cute home, cute couple! I loved the kitchen! Thanks for sharing! God Bless your endeavors! 💖

[@chrisgentry7195]

I love watching these videos. I didn't plan on having a deck, but wanted solar panels on top and watching this showed me a walkway between the panels. That would come in super handy for cleaning them, etc... Great ideas.

[@marilouw207]

An incredible build. Well done! You guys did a fantastic job and can be very proud of yourselves.

[@didleydo]

Love your countertops! They look amazing.

[@bige8549]

It would be great if you showed us exactly how you expand the dining area.

[@tabithagregory5097]

I might need your services next year for my tiny house on wheels

[@arthurperrea3714]

Really nice job I see the Vermont Plates if you ever up by Malone NY Get in touch you can camp out on my land , just pick up a 2011 mini bus and can not wait to start my build

[@keithpetersen8114]

Impressive! Congratulations on all that you've done.

[@FjT240]

Dude, that is awesome.. you guys living my dream..God bless stay safe

[@linacabrera3172]

Yes, I love the tour!

[@raybran7865]

This is absolutely beautiful! I love it. One of my favorites ❤

[@Royalsprincess1]

i like the idea of converting a freezer to a fridge. but id want a freezer. I think id buy a Dometic Fridge and then use the freezer as a freezer especially during these times.

[@oklahomaisok]

Absolutely gorgeous

[@SoCalFreelance]

They are figuring it out as they go. By the time they are in the 40's they will be completely dialed in and reminiscing about their early years.

[@sarahrose9944]

Perfect window solutions!! Love it!

[@rosabivins2558]

Beautiful gorgeous home I definitely know where to come when I get started..thanks for sharing 🤗

[@wandaparker9340]

You both are awesome! What a nice Bus you have built for yourselves! Safe Travels to you both!

[@bonnyphotinos4262]

So much thought, intelligence and preparation went into this and I am so impressed by your innovation and creativity necessary because of your budget. What a fabulous result!

[@jingojango2395]

they play catan and still together... that's strength right there.

[@diosma9302]

Yes

[@christopherlovato4755]

I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Very awesome build. May you be blessed in building many many rigs, and helping people with their careers.

[@rhi539]

I dislike the bed situation but have so many other nice qualities

[@diedredunham7383]

I really like the idea of the radiant heat. I don't like to have a forced air heater blowing on me at any time. I was spoiled by having heating as a child that the vents that wear at ceiling height. I wish all heating was that way or was radiant!!

[@angelguidesabbath]

Love this build, amazing

[@ryleigh8280]

I like to watch these kind of videos because it is super cool what you can do with stuff to make it into a home of your own! ☺

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

I liked the solar/battery setup. The oven corner might not get so hot if the oven wasn’t in that corner. If those are pieces on the wall next to and behind the stove are tin they may be holding the heat in the corner. Didn’t quite get the water setup for the bathroom. Have to look that up. Sounds interesting!

[@teresaray6033]

Beautiful home.

[@yasminghani2073]

Beautiful place

[@tippybird]

Your bus is amazing! You are a gifted person to be able to build such a very cool bus. Enjoyed your video. God bless you all

Very nice build. Really like it.

[@ariel393939]

Nice rig, you guys did a great job.

[@maehay4065]

Super cool looking bus conversion. I don’t know exactly how you installed your heating flooring but I think it’s very functional. I have tile floors and it’s really cold to take a shower! Thank you for sharing your beautiful bus/home.👍

[@freedomdove]

They did a great job! 👍

[@kylefergueson4969]

I really enjoyed that I'll be building my bus soon and could really use some help.

[@shoralhookes804]

GREAT JOB ON YOUR HOME !

[@sparklezandsweetztv]

Another Awesome Informative Video!

[@piplup10203854]

This is such a great build! One day I would love a build of my own. I been eyeing a stealth camper so that’s the route I’m looking for one day :D

[@swetha2244]

Nicely built..💯

[@bambihargrove6499]

BEAUTIFULLY DONE 👍♥️👍😁

[@pattiereiter9265]

AWESOME!

[@littlemisssunshine2931]

First van that I've seen that uses a recirculating shower. That's what I want in my van but I didn't know if it was possible in a van, glad to find that it is. Seems like the only sensible option to me because otherwise you have to either carry loads of water or have very short showers; neither of which I'm keen on. Thanks for sharing.

[@shandelebroyles1099]

BUS not van

[@mybraxtonburns]

Amazing!

[@selisagrimes9837]

This home is amazing. David, I hope you are writing ebook manuals. Pls get a KZbin Channel. thanks so much for this awesome tour.

[@TheJennflip]

Nice

[@christyj24]

Nice!!

[@debrathomas7735]

Very nice bus tiny home and love it.it ❤️ 😍

[@ericalampley480]

Okaaay, NOW I'm even MORE interested. That heat and shower system. So...can you have a hot shower whenever you want? Cause that's been my deal breaker so far. I have pretty difficult hair that can't really go more than a day without some help from water!

[@schultzpack4223]

Would really love to hear how you did the recirculating shower! We did a Tesla powered bus too :)

[@offcolour3814]

Was it difficult to setup? And did you salvage batteries or buy new ones?

[@horizon2667]

haha i do have some pine-cones from the park with my kids.. but my dog ate about half of them... they were mini's

[@gracecallowayable]

Awesome!!!👠🚌👠

[@TraceePettee]

I haven't checked my facts but my hubby says there is a resin hardener that you apply afterwards to protect from scratches! He also said that it's really expensive.

[@benoitlalonde5335]

Where did you get your blinds for the windows?

[@colourful64able]

You can tell he's super smart

[@tWz4462]

Awersome job and kool👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️🥰

[@elease9852]

Love you guys because you realize you need to work and living off love and tater pies is nice but it’s not realistic. I enjoyed your video keep up the good work.

[@gardeninghouseplants1112]

So cool!💕😊☕️☕️

[@lovemind8466]

Yes, I need these guys too help me build out a bus..😀...This was amazing

[@AlchemiUnlimited]

Great job ! Can you give some links on getting Internet? Thx in advance Martin

[@zaidavictorialaragonzales1877]

LIKE: Epoxy burns from heat, drawers at the very bottom, folding dinette table and slide out laptop pocket, dual inverter AC, bathroom grad handle ladder

[@ann-marie1669]

Where are building the other projects? Also, I could use a job coach

[@karenfranz7262]

👍

[@joywinnett6192]

Can you tag a link about the shades

[@yingli8028]

Hi, David. What's the name of the shower door from Lowe's? Please

[@shandelebroyles1099]

*Did you guys make the blinds or what??* *How do you heat? I know the floors are heated but pretty sure that won't heat the whole bus.* *What about your water system? How much of each and where is it located??*

[@SeikoXIII]

11:10 that board game is a fire hazard there next to the electrical panel o.o

[@ask9087]

I was thinking about the bed that pulls out next to the towel warming pipes, how does comforter not hit it?

[@valeriebaxter2354]

I assume there is a floor under the slatted shower floor, so does the underfloor get mouldy or dusty, can you lift out the slatted floor part to clean the underfloor?

[@houseaccount207]

What epoxy did they use? @Tiny Home Tours

[@azike24]

How do you guys fill the water tank?

[@jesseschroetter3839]

What’s the ceiling height looks pretty high

[@juliuscajilog9371]

What is the towing capacity?

[@sailingavocet]

Cool video! We recently built our own lithium battery bank for our sailboat that we live aboard. We would love to hear your thoughts!

[@vanjoy1781]

Tiny is a perspective....my partner and I live in 40 square feet and have for a year. Your bus seems like a mansion to us. In the Tiny world your space is huge. Love your home

[@keciaadamski2306]

Do you have a web site to get into contact to help with a conversion we are planning?

[@ask9087]

I wish we could've see how the bed worked.

[@johnswolter]

You have done a terrific job putting together this mobile Tiny Home. Now, you can look forward to generating savings as you can live off the expensive grids. Take some entrepreneurial business classes towards an Associates Business degrees at a Community College. Most offer online 'hybrid in-person" and or self-paced with full academic credit. The Internet is forcing higher education to completely change. That upheaval is just starting. Education & work-life will be totally different by the end of the current decade. This Tiny Home will make it easy for both of you to get Associate Business or skilled trade degrees early in life & graduate with little or any debit. You would then be positioned to start a family with money in the bank. If you want you can add 4-year degrees at your own pace without the usual academic loans. I wish you all the best.
