I've been waiting a long time to see your ceiling finished. I'm glad you lightened up the walls. I'm a great grandma and selling my home. My husband was a 30 year vet. My mom died ( she lived with us) about 6 months after my husband, mom ( my dad passed and was also a 30 year vet.) She passed my daughter left the next month and for the 1 st time in 50 years no one was there but me. When sold I'm getting a short bus my son is going to build out for me. So I'll know you when I see you. I'll be the white head round great grandma. God as my piolet I'll stay on the road road till my home in heaven is ready for me. I'm Mary. See you soon as I can.

Sold the house bought a 33 ft 2017 bluebird vision with lift for my wheel chair. My son is building it out. 1400 watts on the roof ,a burn toilet, so no black tank. 2(100gal water tanks, washer/dryer combo, work station sink with plug down faucet. Shower head and wand for the shower, 17 cf fridge/ freezer, 4 burner stove,oven. All this is bought but not installed yet. And I'll have my hospital bed and my electric wheel chair. The bus is painted teal green and her name is painted across the front( Tealy) by the door is a bus with ark animals heads out the windows. It says Granny's Bible Story bus. I have my ham license and will have my call letters on the back. So look for me in athe fall

This is an awesome build. It has plenty of room and gives you separation space when needed. He has addressed most every issue I see with off grid living. The freezer, the a/c, hobby storage. Out door toy area. The quilt curtains is an amazing idea. Quick and easy and decorative. A really good build. Love it.

I ended up doing 100% solar on my roof, but one of my earlier designs was to have solar panels that unfolded as the railing for a roof deck. There were a variety of reasons for me to not do a deck: fear of heights, weight limits, wanting to maximize solar power... You currently have 3 panels wide. If you set it up as 2 panels wide over the deck then you just lift each side up as the side rails.

I'm currently working on touch ups, repairs and upgrades to my home to sell it later this year. The goal is to buy a bus and convert it as my last home. I'm 63 years old, know I have limited time left in my life and have that gypsy soul. I love your setup and something very similar being one beneficial for my new life. What did the conversion cost? Even though I'm pretty handy, I know I can't do it all myself, where would you suggest I go for help? I want to be completely off grid as much as possible and will be running my "crafting" business from the bus so a deck isn't really important to me but plenty of solar is. Any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

If I didn't live in Europe I'd aim towards basically adapting 90% of this build. It's the most fitting for what I would take with me if I ever decided to live the road-life. So much storage so you don't really have to leave much behind while still being mobile to go whereever you want. Sadly I think TÜV would have one or two issues with this. Not sure on that tho, might have to inform myself better before completely writing this off... Either way, compliments to this guy. Breathtaking build.
