We are Maddy and Zach, we bought a school bus to convert into a tiny house 3 years ago. Now we are at the mechanics getting the bus road ready. But of course, it did not go to plan and we got stranded at the mechanic for 3 days!
Help us move in! 🚌 If you can, thanks! If not, that's totally fine too!

Glad to see that the solution finally arrived. Thankfully your mechanic is good and checked everything additional that needs to be done so that when you go on your long distance trip everything will go well. You are such sweet, cool and collected couple that I fore see many good things for the both in the future. Thanks for letting us know how you and the home on wheels were doing and until the next video be safe and blessed.

All homes need maintenance at on time or another. Just be thankful that you didn’t experience this while you were on the road and had to add towing to the cost. Home is where you both are and luckily you are able to take your dwelling wherever you want! Happy Holidays and a Joyous New Year!

$2,500 with $1,100 yet to come was an unforeseen hardship and a set back. The good news is nothing serious and VERY expensive was not discovered! Make sure the mechanic thoroughly explains how the re-gen system works. Not sure what or how many tires you need, however most school bus operators run re-treads on the rear which are a fraction of the cost of new front tires. Enjoying your progress.

Bummer. Hopefully the DPF (Diesel Particulant Filter) and Regen System will be good now for many years. It's actually the DPF filter that turn particulants to soot. Every so often, you have to Regen to burn the soot off so that the DPF can continue to do it's job. Yes, it sux that emissions actually cause and cost most failures on these medium duty engines. You're monitized by now so you'll just have to post a few extra videos with some good content to make up the maintenance cost. Good Luck !!! Safe Travels !!!

That 46 gallons of diesel would cost about $323 in germany. But diesel is cheap in germany compared to gasoline.😐 In germany we call cars Auto, from Automobil. My late dad always said Auto begins with "au" and ends with "ooo"😋

I'm sure you guys went into this with the understanding that things like this would pop up every so often. Hopefully not often. But, first and foremost I would have put all my energy into the mechanicals on your bus before you left home. The interior is nice to have but mechanicals should always come first. I love watching you guys. You seem so genuine and I wish you all the best. Mechanicals, mechanicals, mechanicals.
