I did notice they said they were saving for some kind of future build project for the family...so to the couple of critics that mentioned the children and privacy and all that sort of stuff that I hear ALL THE TIME , they are obviously looking towards the future and this is a great solution until the right opportunity comes along. I don't think the kids will mind one bit to be honest...this is how we bond and become closer as a family and build memories that we can reminisce about later in life...EXCELLENT BUILD...never mind the critics folks...keep on doing what you are doing!

Kids are happy, healthy, safe and loved. All that matters.

Very nice! I drove a bus for 27 years with RTD & I'm sure i drove this bus. I could tell by the #2052 on the roof. You done a great job converting it. It's interesting to know it's still alive & serving you well. Thanks for the video.

I have the same dream with the sliding ladder & bookshelves. Nice bus, adorable kiddies. God bless you and your families. Stay safe.

Dads rock! 3 months helping y’all make a home. Awesome I miss my wise talented dad.

Wow! What good parents! Look at the entire design and how it is centered on their children. What love. And that little girl came running thru in her cute little dress; that was adorable. I hope they have a blessed rest of their lives

Beautiful family, I loved when their tiny daughter started signing for milk and Mama disappeared outside with her! I have been there Mama! Congratulations on your new addition, I hope that you find the perfect space to build your own home in the future. Meanwhile, what a fantastic and lovely home you have made for your children!

Tiny house and alternative living spaces will/ can rebuild American families....Close interactions, civil communications, and “necessity VS accessory “ mentality will build character, appreciation for others, and unspoiled children....I’m so glad these families are being represented, and shine a light to non- stereotype living.

What an awesome family!! I wish my family could have been this close when I was a kid, my parents was never around, To all the negative people just know that this happy family could care less about your hate and disgust!!

Trust me. Someone will want to buy this bus when they're ready to part. And it will definitely be more than what they spent to build it.

I lived in a camper for roughly 6 years. What y'all have done and continue to do is what I strived to do but wasn't in a financially feasible mindset to do so. MAJOR KUDOS

I think this is my favorite bus conversion. I love the layout, the shower, and also how the doors close off the room for privacy. Such a beautiful and clever renovation! They seem like a happy family too.

So great! 35 years ago, my husband and I bought an old school bus and turned it into our cozy little home for 4 and traveled some of the states for a few years.💞 I wouldn't have traded that experience for anything!! Some of our most precious memories.

People do tiny homes to save up money to build the home they want, these people are very intelligent in their choice.

Funny how bitter and resentful some people get when they see other people enjoying their lives.

Hi guys, my name is John and I'm from Gloucester England. I just want to say I think you have one of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen in my life.. You also have a wonderful family and boy do your kids have great parents. What a life and experience you are giving your kids, fair play to you both. What ever you guys do next I wish you all the best of luck. I hope the Lord will keep on showering you guys with his sunlight. Stay safe guys and God speed. Regards, John 😎

I love homes like these. We can learn a lot from using only what we need vs having space for the sake of itself.

Im starting to believe you can built a whole tiny home from IKEA

They seem so happy and it is one of few videos when you can see kids. I love it. Wish you all the best.

It’s beautiful how you managed to dedicate so much play space for the children.

$25k for no mortgage and being mobile is a bargain!

SO COOL. I can't believe how much space they got out of that build

Very sympathic, practical, looking forward folks living a family live. Wish them all the best and luck that could cross their way!

Awsome👍👍👍living the dream to roam anywhere, & no banks to haunt you & no landlords to regulate your living standards..

Long time subscriber here. I love the way this channel shows unconventional ways of living. The best part is it shows how something can seem so strange to some, but so normal for others. People come from all walks of life, and there are billions of us. Not everyone feels comfortable in traditional houses. The thought of traveling the world in your home is so amazing to me.

I absolutely love how the kids are 1st and foremost. The chose to give the children the biggest space.

The washer/dryer is a game changer! Love it🥰

I love it that you are able to show the human experience and not just a simple bus tour.

Beautiful down-to-earth leaving so natural away from stress out of the city

Beautiful family! Beautiful home! Enjoy in great health, happiness, safety and prosperity!

I love these two people...they just seem great idk i really like them .bless their family

Beautiful! What a awesome life you are giving your kids. All the wonderful adventures and memories! I just love it! 😊

Beyond impressed with this family.. great life provided for their family, and their creativity is through the roof. I’ve had homes over the years that made me a slave to the bank... wish I did something like them to save up first

Oh my goodness, I absolutely adore the children's area. Too cute!

I WISH my childhood memories consisted of these experiences...by far the BEST mobile home!!! Keep up the GREAT WORK and best wishes to you and your family!

At first I was confused, but realized that they were happy as a family and alot of people who have much more don't have happiness. Good for them.

I personally love what they did. Life is to short to be worried about what people think. I say enjoy life and do whatever you want, what ever works for you, more power to you.

Nice way of building one's relationship while building your home. Wishing you all the peace, joy and prosperity in the years to come!

I’m really impressed that they did all this with an Orion 5 model.

I love how well behaved your children are your great parents.

I always dreamed of getting an old greyhound motorcoach and converting it.

I love city busses, so the fact they have a whole house made out of a bus is awesome.

The children look happy and well behaved. These will be special memories for bonding.

WOW...LOVE the shower/bathtub... I am just now putting together my bus and decided on an RV tub because of my smallest grand daughter that is one of three that I'm raising...but the way they did it was absolutely BRILLIANT...I love your channel Kirsten and can not thank you enough for all the "different" ideas that I have acquired through your travels...This is the first tub idea that I have seen placed like that and its a great idea to give a bit more space and still keep a tub...Very grateful to you and the people that so generously share their lives with us newbies. Hope to see you on the road Kirsten...because of course, "It's A Wander-FULL Life" indeed! Safe travels to the lovely family.

This is a very well thought out and executed design. I'm impressed!

UNBELIEVABLE!; Wow this is one of the more genius bus transformations I've seen. The children's bedroom and play space are very innovative. Cute family, God bless.

Wow! I’m impressed with how they renovated this bus so well. I love to see young families think of ways to keep themselves out of debt. I know they said they went a little over their budget, but think of how much debt they would incur in buying a conventional home for about $240,000. The mortgage would be high and the loan is for 30 years! The bus is a better solution with an added feature: they can get in it and travel! How brilliant is that? Good job! I admire this couple and wish them all the best.

What a beautiful family and I love every part of your home. Thank's for sharing this idea.😊

I do love and respect this idea. I would seriously consider this idea over a tiny home since it has the mobile part already in it. As I look over this video again this property is beautiful.

I little bit of love goes a long way...What a precious little family .

Great bus and great way to save for the future. Also teaching the kids what really matter like family and fun not just things. xxx

Thanks for showing us an amazing transformation; from an ordinary bus into a lovely home. Great ideas.💟 Such a lovely family. God bless.

Wonderful design! Such a hardworking lady. Beautiful kids! Good luck to the family!

The most important thing is the vision, the experience, and that they did it together. Those times will never be forgotten. They have each other and that's all that matters. Priceless!

That bathroom is remarkable, I can't believe all that fit on a bus.

Very well done and lovely. This place looks like a home with everything they need as a family. So glad to see parents who actually put their kids first in designing this bus conversion.

They are so innovative! Thanks for the video. It's rather comforting to see something like this ol' bus being turned into such a cozy, sweet home! Thanks, Kirsten.

Good Lord, these two industrious, clever young people have thought of EVERYTHING. I am such a slouch! What a comfortable, functional home they have made of something notoriously uncomfortable. The children are obviously enjoying living there, and that's the best indication that mom and dad's ideas are gold : ) Thanks For Posting!

This is one of the best videos I've come across in a long time. Scott and Emily have made my day. They have an Orion 5. The chassis of the bus (the shell) was built in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Then, the chassis was put on a flatbed truck and sent to Oriskany, NY where the axles, windows and everything else was assembled. Once the bus was complete a driver would drive the finished product to it's destination, in this case, from Oriskany NY to Denver. Orion Bus Industries was last owned by Daimler Buses North America. The Orion factory made the Orion I, II, III, V and VII buses and sold them to municipalities across the country as well as Porto Rico. Some of the biggest customers were NYC, Toronto, Denver, DC, and sold them to places as far west as California and Washington. How do I know this? I am a former Orion employee and have worked on every aspect of the Orion V and VII. Even the bus in this video was one of the buses I worked on. One of my last jobs was Engineering Instructional Changes. I would deal with engineering and production problems and create solutions. My brother was also a design engineer and now works for New Flyer bus company in Crookston MN. Love what you did with the bus. Unfortunately, Daimler closed the factory a few years ago. However, if you have any questions about the Orion V, I am in touch with many of the former employees and I'm sure they could answer any questions you may have. The leaky air bag suspension was part of the bus kneeling feature that allowed the bus to squat, making it easier for passengers to enter and exit the bus. rhophoto@yahoo.com

Fantastic way (and place) to bring up kids - not so much a way a life, more a on-going adventure. Another great video Kirsten.

Bed is way clever... you done a fab job guys. You seem happy, I built a similar bus nine years ago then had to sell as I had to work overseas but now I'm doing another one.. Great job

Love how this build has such a traditional ambiance with the direction of the decor. Love even more the fact that there's a bike rack on the front! So awesome!

I love this bus home. The use of space is phenomenal. Great build. I need a place like this

I gotta say, considering you're a family of five, you did a great job with this bus conversion. Certain elements I'm going to crib for my own tiny build

So impressed by this. They really worked it and did well. Cheers from Toronto.

It’s so amazing how much of their space they’ve sacrificed for their kids.

Amazing project, and inspirational people. I love seeing the clever use of space and resourcefulness. I wish they spoke more about: difficulties finding a place to park, and costs of maintaining the bus, maintenance, and engine repairs.

"we have no experience" "my dad took 3 months off to *HELP* " LOL

Great video I built a city bus 18+ years ago an AM general lots of room great buses for that its a great way to make some decisions that life throws at you very smart way to make your plans as your family grows even if you find that place you want to be in life and settle down you'll always have your coach to go play if you want Once you get the bug you'll never get rid of it I'm now building an MCI MC9 now that the kids are grown and gone momma wants to travel so good for you as far as what others say who cares its your life and smart thinking my hats off to you, happy trails.

Them kids gonna travel the world before they are 7 this is awesome I would love to live anywhere I wanted at anytime #Awesome 😍

The beautiful mom, with really well behaved kids! shows off her home with pride..Im not sure how this guy is doing it , but hes definitely got a great wife! and a fun house!

This is awesome guys just beautiful, God bless you.

Pretty well thought out. Wonder about heat and cooling. Also about a water and waste sources and how all is powered. Great kids space!

that shower/tub really impressed me. clever idea

The best part of this build for me is the location of the garage. Very smart.

Just love it....something the kids will always remember ❤

So clever!! Love this!! This is my dream for my family! Maybe they could put a drop down desk on the Murphy bed!?

what a amazon video, you and your husband have so much love and the kids clearly enjoy the life style, if I lived close to you I would visit , seems some people just love and enjoy life, keep rolling live , laugh and love, isn't life beautiful

Your dad is a keeper. I bed the kids love their grandpa so much:).

They can drive in the bus lane! Genius!

What a great glimpse into this family's life and home. They did an incredible job of finding a way to live unattached to mortgages and jobs in order to live the life that they choose. I hope all the Negative Nicks and Nancys that commented here go visit their Instagram page and see what a wonderful, interesting and worldly life they are sharing with their three kids.

The most beautiful remodel yet!!! 😀 Very nice and anyone thinking kids wouldn’t appreciate living this way obviously do not have children!!! This is just an absolutely fabulous learning experience for them (even considering whether they’ll be going with placing the kids in today’s crappy public school system -OR- whether they decide on home schooling)... And, what a fantastically fun way to live,... RIGHT!!!!!!! I am so envious!!!! And wow.. just imagine,...how nice a family they’ll be... (esp, in a smaller space such as this, one then learns to be super considerate of others privacy, sharing the few material things one has, AND ALSO,... how one would them truly realize WHATS REALLY NECESSARY IN LIFE!!!!) Think about how much time your’d be spending OUTDOORS, as well.... Fishing, hunting, swimming in creeks and lakes... JUST “LIVING OFF [AND IN] THE LAND”,... as FATHER meant one to!!! Yep.... loving this,... and their wonderful close-knit family,... as THESE ARE THE DAYS WHEN GREAT MEMORIES ARE MADE!!! CONGRADS ON FINDING THAT PEACE WE ALL WASTE SO MUCH TIME SEARCHING OUT IN LIFE... No McMansions No bags and boxes of Macy’s, and Walmart junk... NO HOARDING... (Maybe a bit of looking for gemstones, cool shells or rocks lol) But, YEAH..... Just really enjoying each other in FATHER’S beauty 👶🏻👶🏻👶🏽👩🏻🐣🦅🐇🌿☘️🌱🌿🍄🎍🌻🌸🌷🌺✨🔥🌎🌙☄️🦋🐛🐝🐞🐠🐟🐏🐑🕊🕊🕊⛈🌤🌈💨☃️🍎🍊 Bbq’ing.... And surely even room for a sweet little CHRISTmas TREE!!!!!!!!! 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲 I AM TRULY CONSIDERING MAKING MY LIFE SIMPLER NOW DOWNSIZING... MINIMIZING... GOING SOLAR PANEL ENERGY... AND COOKING OUT IN SPRING, SUMMER, AND FALL.... Storing up on canned during winter to keep everyone inside, where it’s cozy and warm.... JUST WONDERFUL... And as long as the tires are good, the engine runs well, the brakes are safe...... AND YOU HAVE SAFETY MEASURES, such as a good and secure locking system at all points (to keep the kids INSIDE and the crazies OUTSIDE,... WHAT MORE COULD ONE WANT!!!!! You can still have internet and even television, if you want... ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!!!

This is what life's about! Amazing. Such a beautiful family. X

I really like all the detail. Absolutely cool!

What a well-thought-out design. I really like this conversion.

Perfectly planned home..I wish u all enjoy more

I love your videos. They are so full of love for every little detail.

What a awesome home and way of life. Really enjoyed this video.

Old Denver bus family!! CONGRATULATIONS!! It's wonderful!! Great job! You all seem so happy!! God's blessed you all. Plus how wonderful to have a dad(grandpa) to help build your home!!😊😍

Love the sliding cabinet/ table.

What an excellent young family. They're living the dream.

This is my favorite episode so far

I think the most important thing is family so as long as you have your family anywhere you live and whatever structure you live in is home. Your kids look very happy and healthy so obviously you are great parents and doing something right. I think your home is great and in this world people think you need to live in a mansion and be disconnected from your kids and everyone is in a different room. That's why families lose touch and are so far apart from one another. God bless good luck and I wish you all the best.

I know a few ppl who are buying buses to live in just like back in the 60's. i LOVE how the buses are decorated and space is used.

Quite inspirational. Thank you. Greetings from Portugal.

I really enjoyed watching this. Great build and way of life.

Kirsten, thanks for the awesome story. This bus is gorgeous, and the smart storage, builds and layout is perfect. The kids love it !!! Cozy home on wheels ♥️

Awesome video and story. My wife and 2 year old and me would love to do this. I am 30. Wife 25. Stori is 2. We live in Portland oregon, I have owned a business for 8 years and am recently free of it... I see us doing this..... how cool. Thnx for video and knowledge

Cool video it looks like the bus thing really works for that family very well They did a nice job with the conversion and build. Also ! I haven’t had the chance yet but it has always been a dream of mine to convert a bus Into a motor home I do tend to fancy vintage buses as a rule or ones that Have That look

What an awesome family!
