SKOOLIE CONVERSION TOUR | School Bus Converted into Open Floor Plan Tiny House

День тому

Welcome to our school bus conversion tour! We put a ton of effort into our SKOOLIE and we hope it shows as we take you through our tiny home on wheels!
We focused on keeping things as simple as possible and creating an open floor plan while ensuring we could stay off-grid. We love living in our skoolie and enjoying the lifestyle that comes with it.
If you have any questions please feel free to comment below. We hope you enjoy and appreciate your support! Looking forward to seeing you again next Wednesday. Thanks in advance for any likes/subscriptions :)

This is the most incredibly well thought out and beautifully designed bus I’ve ever seen, and I’m right there with you as far as watching every bus tour, van tour, and tiny home on UKposts. It’s the only reason I watch it nowadays! I want to build a bus for when my kids go off the college soon to travel. Wow, your build is incredible! I’m just honestly blown away, you guys have every luxury, tons of room but a small enough bus still. Great job, and great video. Your quality of editing is great too!

@bonafideoutside 3 роки тому

Corinne, you just made our day! Thank you! Just like you we watched every tutorial and skoolie tour before starting our build and took pieces of what we liked from others. That’s something I love about the skoolie community is that everyone is happy to share and give advice. When you build yours, please reach out and we’re happy to help out in any way possible!!

@wessebaggers 3 роки тому

I love your bus ! Very great use of space! Love what you did with bed

@briannafebus6520 3 роки тому

I completely agree and I barely started the video.

@jadeedens7755 3 роки тому

I too have watched every video I can find on mobile living and it has made me realise that if I optimize it, itll be a luxurious apartment on wheels You Guys Are Optimizers!!! Watching this video made me so happy, relate so much, inspired by so many of the clever things you guys did Subscribed and I wish you guys well in your adventuring 🥰

You did a beautiful job with your schoolie build - well done! This is the best and most functionally designed 25’ schoolie Ive ever seen. The tour was well narrated, interesting and to the point.

"Multipurpose Drawer" - Lol, that's such a great name for the junk drawer! Although, my multipurpose drawer isn't anywhere near as neat and tidy as yours.

I love that u both r so young yet made such a smart decision so early in life. I think its great that your ambition wasn't to fit the cookie cutter dream of the gated home with 2.5 kids and a job that pays u just enough to afford the monthly mortgage car repayments utilities bills. I'm very proud of your determination to be fully self reliant and off the grid at such a young age. I just wish I had thought of this at your age. But I didn't even have a utube at your age where we can learn how to do all thid stuff.

@bonafideoutside 3 роки тому

Hi Linda! We’ve learned so much from UKposts, truly an incredible resource. And yes! Our priorities are to see and experience as much as we can NOW...this was the best way to allow us to do that. Thank you so much for your support 😊

@mobilehomelife4028 3 роки тому

Love the tour, my favorite part was seeing how the cubic mini takes up so little space. I have not yet installed any heat yet. I like the fact that no power is needed to run the cubic mini. The curtain support rods in the cab and above the bus door are great ideas I can add to mine. During my June 2020 vacation I discovered just how much massive heat was being generated by the cab.

@bonafideoutside 3 роки тому

Glad you enjoyed! We are big fans of the cubic mini. And yes we’re even thinking of thickening those curtains

@mobilehomelife4028 3 роки тому

@@bonafideoutside as far as my curtains I opted to make and use a nice pattern and put black out curtains on the backside of them that I can’t see and use fanfold insulation on the windows on the two hot or too cold days. But I did consider using just curtains like your set up.

I've watched a lot of bus builds. You have the most unique build I've seen! My favorite part is how you built your bed! Very multi-faceted! I really like the open living area with the big window for gazing at your environment! My next fav thing is the bathroom with the extendable shower rod AND how you created a unique way to have an outside shower! AWESOME BUILD! Enjoy! ✌🥸

Hello, your amazing 🤗 I truly love the simple structure and great thought process in your tiny bus. Can you please share with us what was your budget including the bus purchase and the final cost to complete the whole set up for your home bus. Best of luck always 💖

@bonafideoutside 3 роки тому

Thank you! Sure, we have roughly 23,000 into our build including insurance and a lot of hard labor. We have gotten this question a lot so we are thinking we will do a future budget breakdown video and share how others could do theirs cheaper. We could have done things much cheaper if we didn't put ourselves under such a time constraint. Would that be something you'd be interested in seeing?

We paid roughly 23,000 total but we were under time constraint. There are definitely ways to go cheaper if you have a lot of time
