You did a great job on this video! You were so respectful and just let her talk and asked about the stove! Love this!

[@longhairmullet]

Forrest Stevens wow thats quite a list. Good of you to post. I was hoping to read the name of wood stove as well but guess this is list of stuff on Amazon only list. I will have to watch again a write it down, though not sure what state she purchased? Im in Cal.

This is fourth bus conversion I've seen without a shower or a toilet. I would love to live tiny, but I'd have to have a toilet and some kind of way to shower.

[@jessieshores4865]

Toilets are infinite. Look out the nearest window and you will see more than one free toilet most likely. So that isn't a problem. As for showering, most small livers who don't travel solve that with a cheap gym membership. Shower at the gym. Alternatively, you can just purchase a solar shower.

[@noszagh]

She showed a compost toilet and a foot operated shower in the bus.

[@debslifesimplified6406]

when I bought my bus I'm in planning stages,, and I have enough room to put a shower and toilet, not a priority for everyone. But for me in my age I've got to have one.

[@jessieshores4865]

No...You can get gym memberships at large chains for 10 to 30 a month. Planet fitness is notorious for their 10 dollar a month prices, and they have showers...

[@pauls466]

In the back on the left side is a toilet

[@RetiredTony]

WOW...just beautiful... Bus is nice too

[@sixyonex7385]

Some awesome ideas, like how she kept floor plan open. Mini bus is the way to go!

[@robertbennett5192]

Skoolies are without a doubt the BEST. NO BOUNDARIES whatsoever. Adaptability is the KEY WORD. An inside shower behind the cabinet across from the toilet using an oval shaped mini trough or even a Rubbermaid container is too easy. I can take a shower with a gallon of water. The cool thing about the troughs are the sturdiness and size to take an actual 🛁 soak. Especially in cool weather. With a big kettle on that stove. Just me but I’ve bailed a boat manually, so with-a door that close just tip and pour. I wanna graduate to a skoolie one day. I wanna downsize from my RV, travel more, and get back to camping with all this knowledge available to us these days. Y’all are making it so easy for all of us. THANKS MUCH !!!

[@kokaneenajen6356]

Great alternative to paying high rents . I like the idea of a travelling home . It looks like plenty of room , too.

[@JavierBonillaC]

This film that you can put on windows that has tiny holes that allow you to see from the inside out but not the outside in... I would choose it white to match with the bus. It would bring you some privacy. Other than that what a great bus' super cool space to meditate.

[@laurajphillips]

Wow! The bus is beautiful !! Wasn't expecting it to be so loud!

[@Phlow]

Just a little hint for your documentation skills: If the people in the video talk about the solar system, show us the solar system. If they talk about the old red color, show it to us :)

[@SNOWQueen87-v1g]

You could've worded this better :)

[@cherriemckinstry131]

I wish I could get someone to do a video for me to put on their channel.

[@Mikayla_Games24]

Well to be honest the man filming is not the one documenting he is just clearly filming. The people who show him their vehicles are the ones documenting so if they want to talk about a certain item then they don’t have to show it if they don’t want to. He can’t force that upon them. It is their home after all.

[@prizantsproducts4u]

Honey, your bus is awesome!! One suggestion on the toilet, you can make your own compost toilet from a bucket and the cocomoss or kitty litter. It is cheap and very easy. Hubbs Harry and I made one for our camping. we also got a potty chair (for old folks) at an estate sale for 4 dollars - our buckets fits under it very nicely! Maybe look at that option. Oh, and there is NO SMELL at all, you use plastic bags and dump into a compost place (when you use the peat or coco moss) or with kitty litter just dispose like you would dog or baby poop. EASY! Traveling Mercies and God bless you!

[@petermachek6678]

Good job Erica ! After a massive stroke at 56 and having to retire , I had to downsize big time myself . I like that little wood stove at the back .

[@TheConstitutionalGuardian]

[@thevandal7114]

Aww the paint job looms great and the 7.3 deisles are great and reliable engines that's totally BAD TO THE BONE big thumbs up

[@lindaskinner7957]

I would love to have something like this ! I'm 64 and want to travel !!!

[@DianaSFNg]

linda skinner I'm with you there too! Just looking at her mini bus gave me some idea although I've already have a plan in mind from someone else in UK who purchased a double decker and built his home in that. He's also on KZbin.

[@spuriouseffect]

If you think about it, when you are traveling in something like this, you more than likely would stay in campgrounds that have showers, so you would never use the portable toilet, just like she never had. We had a camper for a while, and never did anything inside but sleep. Everything else we did outdoors under the canopy. So you could get away with just having a little 8x5 box trailer that costs 1200 bucks, or a small Transit type van, or even just an air mattress in back of a small SUV. You don't need a big heavy diesel guzzling bus to travel.

[@sadiedesimone5558]

linda skinner , I’m 78, female, would love this! It looks safe to me, and I can go to motel if necessary once in a while.

[@sadiedesimone5558]

You could use Mcdonalds bathroom, or Walmart whatever. Bathing Luke be more problematic, but def doable.

[@partyflockske]

i don't know if they are really clean at McD and W. Most van dwellers in the US have a years subscription on a gymstudio that has studio's all over the country. in Europe there is even a european gymstudio. those showers are moslty clean and you can workout to if you would like :)

[@annettesmith6241]

Really sweet simple bus. Works perfectly.

[@Keepingitrespectfulmostly.]

Nice hair, real or extension's. Stay happy doll..

[@ChazEvansdale]

I like the simplicity of this build. I've been watching a lot of van builds and people seem to fill every square inch of the place. I like the openness of this build. I'd could see myself doing a similar layout with added insulation.

[@pamelab224]

Nice conversion. Where are the personal things that are needed to live? It looks like she is living elsewhere.

[@artsyamy73]

Pamela B Exactly!! shes obviously not living in it yet anyway..she didnt show anything in the drawers, no hanging clothes..even if she was ultimate minimalist shed still have a few kitchen things or somethingggg out in the open..hmmm😏

[@mcbriggs3945]

Amy ~ One of the comments I saw from the guy who posted this video (if I remember correctly), said that she sold the bus right after this. So I think she had already moved out when this video was made.

[@artsyamy73]

MC Briggs oh ok that makes sense then🙂

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

I truly believe she lives alongside her parents place...or perhaps that of a good friend. That is the only way this bus could be long term livable.

[@pinkishdiamondz]

R Montena EXACTLY

[@kevinhayden9030]

Wow amazing woman... I’m speechless

[@rollingbnb2146]

This was interesting. One thing that makes me a little crazy with many KZbin interviews is that I end up with so many questions that never get answered. It becomes rather frustrating. So what does she do now for a living? Where does she park it? If she doesn't use the bathroom facilities on the bus, what does she use? Any good article/video should answer the questions "who?, what?, where?, when?, and why?" At least, that what what they taught us "old school". Otherwise, good job.

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Um...that was then and this is now. You need to do your own research based on your own curiosity. KZbin is where many videos are to inspire ideas and hope...rather than answer all your personal questions. That being said, I am certain parking is her biggest problem unless she lives on public lands, far from cities or towns. Google "stealth camping" or "boondocking" for more info. The first thing that will be apparent is that this is no stealth camper. It is the opposite. But that is OK...no big deal.

[@rollingbnb2146]

G Henrickson googling boondocking will tell me nothing about this woman's life. Good documentary is good documentary today or in the past.

[@dianedavidson5283]

Those are legit questions from where I sit. Where is her stuff? Other videos I've seen show more things... Her closet is empty, no? Where are her clothes? One on-going question I have is what do people in these situations cook and eat? I think that a video which is telling a person's story can be expected to tell more of it. I understand that telling more may not be what the video purports to do.

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

There are hundreds of channels and thousands of videos covering all what you ask. No one source can answer it all. You need to do your own research rather than be critical that you were not given all the answers. That is what we were taught in school...especially college.

[@eloyantonioroasanchez7629]

Hey weirdo, what she does for a living and where she parks at night time, it is none of your business. Antonio, the extreme 18 wheeler

[@alvaradokids]

Love her hair and love that bus... been looking for one with a regular passenger door like that... awesome

[@glorethagray]

If I ever pay my house off, I am going to close my house up and buy an RV and travel the US and Canada. Only did limited travel in US mostly the south where I live.

[@Inkdraft]

@Gloretha gray: I closed up my house for a year and had a good friend who lived upstairs in my rental apt keep an eye on if for me. It was a great year and I loved it. Coming back after being closed up for a year it took quite a while for the closed up smell to go away. That was a few years ago, now I have a dumpster in front of my house that I'm filling up with stuff from the attic and the cellar and anything else I don't want. Cleaning out, going to sell, buy a van or camper and I'm taking off.

[@aucoinroland9072]

I like it. Clean simple lines. Love the stove and kitchen, great wardrobe and loo idea. But. Storage? And 7.5l engine? UK fuel prices and emission standards => Very Expensive. OK to park I suppose. Thanks for the tour, though I too would have liked more focus on the bus and it's facilities

[@charlesdirken6285]

Great bus. I love the wood stove.

[@fyisense9312]

I am concerned about whether the wood stove is secured properly. It could prove to be deadly in a very small accident, even a panic stop.

[@1456Sassy]

I doubt she'd have a fire going in the heater while the bus is in motion.

[@bobaloo2012]

Because a couple of hundred pounds of cast iron going 60mph inside the bus is only dangerous if it's on fire?

[@fyisense9312]

Well that was my concern. Not whether it was burning, but that would be worse, but that something like that has allot of inertia.

[@thethreeoregonchicks2745]

The wood stove seems overkill - dangerous to drive that around
