AMAZING School Bus Conversion to TINY HOME Camper Will Make You Want To Hit The Road FULL TIME!

2 роки тому

In todays video we visit with Sawyer and Chelsea who grew up together and have been together since high school. Right after granulation they purchased this used school bus with dreams of turning it into a skoolie conversion to travel full time and live out of while traveling on the road. This project has taken approximately three years and now it is complete, they leave to following day after this video was filmed.

What I find most amazing about these conversions is how well decorated and functional they are. The inside of this bus looks like a house! I love it (and the little dog too).

@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures 2 роки тому

Thank you very much. I have some exciting episodes coming up. All filmed, edited and scheduled now through September.

I drove a 72 passenger tc and Freightliners for several years and those mirrors that you didn't care for the look off are a important safety feature I would consider reinstalling them because they help with blind spots

What a great build! Love the warmth of the wood ceiling. The whole thing seems comfy cozy. Love all the space that comes with a bus and this couple sure has used it all very well. It looks well thought out to me. Very impressed with this couple. They are so young but have created something so complex and did a great job.

@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures 2 роки тому

@serenakoleno9338 2 роки тому

Excellent conversion. I suggest using Coroplast panels cut to fit skylights. The corrugated plastic has enough give to bend, yet firm enough to snap in place. Cut it small enough to easily slip in, with a few longer tabs to hold it in place. What I used for van windows. Used double sided carpet tape to hold reflectix to black coroplast. You are not worried about stealth so you could use white.

Their decor gives this skoolie a real nice home feeling. Hard to believe this nice couple is right out of high school for their first build! And they want to build them for a living? Where can I invest?? Also, love that cute little dog.

@user-xe3us2cj9m 2 роки тому

You would think that it would be the same like other conversions why not,right? it's the same rectangular space... But it always turns out to be awesome, each and everyone of them has distinct characters and I think that's the beauty and appeal of vans, bus etc conversions and this one is no exception of that awesomeness, beautiful build, simple and clean, nice couple cute dogs, perfect. I enjoyed watching this actually everything I watched here in your channel Patrick I enjoyed a lot. Safe travels always.

@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures 2 роки тому

You can install a three way toggle switch and it will reverse the polarity to run the motor backwards so the fan will work in both directions not that difficult to do and it won't cause any issues with the motor, enjoy.

Kudos you did a great diy job & made it into a home! You show you don’t have to be an expert carpenter, etc to do a good job with bus conversions! A lot of thought went into planning & building this! I was quite surprised when you mentioned the insurance trouble you had because that’s something most people don’t mention or think of! It’s important to know that for all the people who are thinking of doing conversions themselves! They will be better prepared thanks to you!! Good luck!

Patrick, you are correct, this is one of the nicest skoolies I’ve ever seen! Definitely at the top! I would hire them to build a tiny home someday!

Speaking of insurance, it would seem there would be some company that would want to be friendly to skoolie owners and suck up a large market share of the business.

Love your skoolie! The exterior colors are great and also the wooden ceiling, countertops, and floor. I liked how you decorated it and made curtains plus the brick and tile in the kitchen area, as well as the tile in the shower. Really cool bus. Your hard work really shows in the design and build. If you go to Oregon be aware that there's lots of smoke from wildfires in the Pacific NW, especially in Oregon, California, and Washington. Otherwise Oregon is a great place to live. I live in Seattle, WA and have visited it. Oregon and Washington coast and Olympic National Park are a must to visit. Enjoy your adventures on the road. Jenny :-)

@chamberlainemery7091 Рік тому

for your sky lights, Walmart has those thin adjustable curtain rods and if you put one at the top and one at the bottom of each skylight window. Then make blackout curtains with the curtain rod slide throughs on the top and bottom of each curtain. Cut the curtains in half so when you push them open you get lots of light without the curtains taking up too much room. Also, you can get vinyl faux stained glass and stick it to the skylights so you still get lots of beautiful sunlight without it being too bright, and their are many different kinds that are very beautiful. You can order them on the internet or sometimes Lowes or Home Depot carries them but you have a lot less selection.
