@REGRETLYSS1 spent years on the road in her first bus conversion, Lucky before upgrading to her second bus, Monarch. This 5 window short bus had just 68,000 miles on it's Powerstroke 7.3 diesel engine when she bought it. She brought it to @roadwidgets for an 8 inch roof raise so that she could fit ample insulation in the floor and ceiling while still providing her with plenty of headroom and a conditioned interior space that would allow her to live off-grid in subzero temperatures which you can see her do here: • Alone and Cold | Livin...
The interior fit out was a collaboration between @REGRETLYSS1 and the team at Chrome Yellow Corp (recently closed) led by @ChuckCassadyYT who along with his partner Ben Jackson are arguably the most accomplished school bus conversionistas (yes I made that word up) of this past decade. Basically they're the best. Look inside the bus. It's absolutely GORGEOUS and this is a testament to Alyssa, her aesthetic decisions and material choices and the expert craftsmanship of Charlie and his team. I think of this bus as a DIY/Professional collab. Oftentimes the pro builds are missing the charm of a DIY build and the DIY builds are mission the professional fit and finish of the pro jobs. Alyssa's bus is literally the best of both worlds. It is in fact THE BEST SHORTIE EVER BUILT. If you know of a more gorgeous bus conversion please rant and rave about it in the comments below. I would love to see it.
Finally, @REGRETLYSS1 makes the best #buslife content on KZhead. She's an exceptional storyteller, poet, and lately unlicensed therapist which turns out is one of her many callings. Watch this video of hers and I bet you'll be hooked on her content for life • Alone and Cold | Livin... but don't forget when @REGRETLYSS1 has a million subscribers, Justin from Mobile Dwellings told you about her first. Now you owe me one and all I ask is that you learn more about Alyssa's story here: • Regretlyss Finally Got...

Cute dog and cute bus! Look at Rio with his feet crossed how adorable!
Love this build and Alyssa she's bright and beautiful...
I totally agree, beautiful bathroom with privacy and I don’t see that on a lot of van tours. This is a nice build with great decor.👍👍👍👍
I would watch her videos just to see her,God she's so Beautiful!
1300 watts of solar? That might be a record for solar on a camper I've seen on youtube.
That's one of the best bus conversions I've ever seen. I'm jealous.
That's what Im saying! Me too!!
EXCELLENT build and layout, and bravo to that bathroom! 👍 I just can't take seriously all these vanlifers who pretend they don't need a toilet and shower/tub on board. Almost all "What Van Life Is REALLY LIKE" videos warn about the inconvenience.
I am with you. It's not a home without at least a toilet and an outdoor shower.
Right!!!
And to think I saw an ad a few days ago on FB and the fools actually said that vanlifers and short bussers never use a toilet or shower inside the bus or van so there's no reason to take up valuable space with unused objects, lol 😂. Some of these idiots actually believe they can schedule every single bathroom break andshower for the gym or local truck stop but in reality they just don't know how to do the work or are to cheap to pay someone to do it. A bathroom of some sort is mandatory in anything we live in. They may just be a bucket and sawdust and a second bucket with a sponge and water but you are not a true busser or van lifer without some sort of onboard facilities! These fools are the ones that are just trying to slap together a van or bus as cheaply as they can and use stick up lights and no wiring so they actually do no actual building of a van or bus but try and ride on the coat tailsof quality builders like chuck and say "it's got room for a bath, you just install what you want once you buy it" what a joke these fools are but they sucker folks in with a pretty bed and living area and new folks are blinded by that
I wouldn't want to be one of those who has to find a truck stop or gym to shower. This would a an essential piece for me.
@@1982MCI Well Don you said a mouth full.
Totally loving the lay out and the MOST realistic Van tour ever (left over glowstick, crumbs and all) Vans/Buses are LIVED IN and this one sure is that! Wish more people did tours like this! Love your Bus!!!
Great build! I don’t think I could live in a van at this point in my life but for some reason I’m obsessed with van/bus-living content😂 I think I just admire people that are willing to downsize, take risks, and live on their own terms. But, I have to say, this little bus is the first build I’ve seen, after watching over a hundred or so videos, that actually seems realistically livable. I totally understand being proud of that bathroom, it’s what made the difference! Well done!
You said exactly how I feel. I am obsessed on watching these. I love this build. Finally a build that doesn't have to be all about a big bed, only what she needs. Love the bath. Her dog looks so content and loved.
Beautiful bus! The inside looks 10 times bigger than the outside. The bathroom is gorgeous! And the bed area looks so cozy with that shelf holding all your precious mementos. And Rio is a beautiful dog
Alyssa is incredible. The ending was beyond refreshing, and perfectly encapsulates what true freedom really is. She is a gem.
I couldn't agree more!
almost made me cry. had to listen to it twice
I love your build! It has everything that is missing from so many others: a proper dining/work table, a bathroom, air conditioning, adequate solar, etc. I love it!
I love this
Was teary eyed in the last part :( but the whole content and story inspires me a lot to just live simply with peace of mind, and a content heart :)
Oh man ive been following Regretlyss1 for awhile now. Such an amazing journey. Chuck did a great video of this bus when they finished it. Super awesome.
Chuck made a great video about her bus. No idea how I watched that whole hour of content but I definitely got a lot of it! For others interested here it is: kzhead.info/sun/g7WyqZaiiHerlJE/bejne.html
It was interesting and educational to watch the complete build series from start to finish.
I love how she layout her bus. I think this is one of the best builds. And this interview was funny as well.
This bus is great. The bus really looks like a tiny little house on wheels. It's so cozy.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today??
Your bus is very calm feeling and I realized that you and your voice are very calming, thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Outstanding!👍🏼 You seem to be very happy and that's what counts. In the Army in the 1970's I realized that being behind the wheel made me happy. Ten years after getting out, 1991, I obtained my Commercial Drivers License and drove a big truck until 2018 when I was medically retired. Best of luck to you and the fur baby, young lady...
Hello Alyssa ,oh my gosh I want your bus so bad! I watched Chuck Cassidy's video on your bus, it was the best explanation as to what he knew and why he liked this Bus so much. Watching it today brought be back to why I Love this bus! Perfect size to drive, engine strong, Bathroom lg and comfortable with Stain glass window, so Beautiful, huge bed so cozy looking, kitchen faucet gorgeous, the fold out guest bed perfect. The vintage all around sense of style is my style! I am a single woman for the first time in yrs. I have studied buses, RV's for a long time .May I please be the one you consider if you ever sell this Beauty! My Dad just recently passed away , I know he would be proud of his daughter to research , do the homework and I did. He would have chosen this Bus for his only Daughter! Ps isn't there a knob on toilet Chuck Cassidy installed? Because of germs and all around, well you know why. Lol he makes a good point and I thought , right on I would want the knob too. This is my Dream of the Bus I want! I can't stop writing about it. Take Care and Thank you for sharing! So Happy to see your bus!
Just contact a bus conversion builder & do this for yourself…. If you wait for other people to help fulfill your dreams, then youll spend your whole life dependent on others & WAITING! Shes actually teaching others to be fearless & grasp life with your whole being!

This is one of my favorite videos. Especially the ending about how you grew. I love the bedroom and bathroom space. The ac/ heater in the bedroom genius. I congratulate you on this accomplishment.
Fabulous !!!! and a beautiful spokesmodel !
The last part really resonated within me and reduced me to tears. Thank you for your insight. You are wise beyond your years and truly beautiful. ❤

Wow ...Thank You. Beautiful Bus, Beautiful Spirit, Namaste🙏🙌
What an incredible bus conversion! It’s so beautiful, and yet you’ve thought of everything! I absolutely love it!

Very Well Done Camper Conversion , Narration Is Not Dragged On , Your Camper Is A Real Nice Home On Wheels . No Other Examples I've Watched Can Come Close To Yours , A Traveling Home Done Right like Yours Will Bring Many Years Of Enjoyable Ventures .
Big ups to her for having the courage to jump out there and do it! ❤️
She actually quit the bus life
Hi Lyss. Awesome content. Thank you for letting us look around your beautiful mobile home. Very impressive. Looks and sounds very cozy. Especially on those very cold wintery day and nights. Love it. Take care. 👌👍🙏❤
I’ve watched your build for this bus and must say that this is my only FAVORITE bus build. It’s the perfect size and the care and thought process that went into this build is beautiful….. I continue to watch your journey in this wonderful world…… thank you for sharing…
Your Monarch is beautiful. Every aspect in the bus is perfectly thought out. Love the idea both refrigerator/freezer unit, I also need that for my dog raw food. The bathroom is awesome. Love love the mini split. Good to know the mini split can be used off grid! All around fabulous design in the bus! I love watching ur channel. 🤗 CUDTR 🚐🐾🐕💓
I love ❤ it. I admired what you did to your bus because it's comfortable as well . That's great. Take care always and be safe.
Loved the ending. Happy for you & Rio. 🦋
Great layout and use of space! And a wonderful view of life to boot. Safe travels to you wherever you go.
5:09 I love how Rio's legs are crossed. So sweet!
Dibs on getting first in line if she ever starts a business in schooling design! What a beautiful hone ❤
Beautiful bus, beautiful home.❤️ Your philosophies on life make so much sense! 🙌
Alyssa, you are a true poetess. Your tiny home is exceptional. Your life experiences are magical. You give ppl who are lost in their lives a path that is inspirational.
This layout makes for great KZhead set as well. Such a dreamy build 😍
It's an amazing YT set you're right.
You do what you want and the others that complain are usually jealous as they are stuck on the treadmill of life. Go and enjoy yours as life is short in the big scheme of things. You also did a great job of building the bus. Good for you
i just love her layout! she literally got everything that she needed in this bus to the extra freezer! great job sweetie, i really want a med sized schoolie 1 day and im sure going to keep your layout in mind!❤
I love your bus. The short bus really has a lot of space! This is the first time I come across this kind of interior, and I think it's a great idea to place the bathroom annex bedroom in the back of the bus. Thanks for sharing and keep enjoying life.
I loved this video Alyssa because you show that you do live in it - with great humour! I like the design, it is practical and personal. A little gem of a conversion.
I think this is my absolute favorite build!!! You’ve done an amazing job ❤
Stunning and lovely video, beautiful and courageous you are! Amazing home in a bus....you did a great job. Thanks for sharing your journey, happy,safe travels!
This is the best built I have seen . I love to have one like this . You have the best take on life . Thank you for the encouragement.
I have seen her channel and love her bus!! Such a great layout and well done!
Right On !!! This must be an Awesome experience...and the Freedom, WoW! God Bless the road Ahead and Go Girl! Dont miss a Thing✌️❤️💪🇺🇸🕯
You utilized so much space. The bathroom and bed set up was the best ❤
Your tiny home is amazing! You did a great job in the build! Simply amazing!
I came here for the beautiful bus and discovered a beautiful soul. TYFS Life is good 😊
You tiny sweetheart. I love seeing young women being strong brave and all around amazing. Stay safe and blessed. 🙏🤗🕊
This is a incredible build in a short bus you're obviously a very bright beautiful young woman that knew what she wanted and went for it God bless you
So adorable! Love the bathroom! You have maximized your storage so cozy ❤
I love that you have a proper bathroom in this build.You home is lovely and functional from end to end. Well done. Happy trails.
Monarch is the best designed short bus build I think I have EVER seen! It’s just beautiful! Thanks for posting…
Great build and very homey. Especially the bed being separated like it is. Beautiful bathroom. Seems like a wonderful young lady. Safe travels! 🌏☮️💞🐕
Good for you 👍🏽 many blessings in your travels, and I pray for you traveling mercy 🙏🏽 can’t wait to see more of your adventures 😌
8:56 That speech and flower analogy is very beautiful!!!! Wow, I can relate so much!!!
Absolutely Grand,this is one of the beautiful, fully functional and would love to live in this gorgeous home on wheels.👍😊⚘ Thankd for sharing and for the inspiration. You go girl 👍👍😊😊⚘⚘
I am so glad I found your video! This was exactly what I needed today. You are such an inspiration ! Keep blooming you are a rare and beautiful flower 🌸!
Thanks for sharing your life in the bus, love the inside and you are Bless by enjoying the ALMAIGTHY works in this Blessed Land,
Her kitchen was as much a learning experience to her as it was to us.
I love your bus. I remember seeing this one before and like the layout. Enjoy your travels with your beautiful dog.
Amazing young lady with an indomitable spirit. She is very brave and resourceful. She created an amazing little home on wheels for her adventurous life journey. May she be blessed always.🙏
LOVVVVVE it (AND your spirit!) you have a beautiful bus, and an even more beautiful soul! Travel on ladybug! Travel on!
Well done Justin! Alyssa isn't the only one that's a great teller of stories. Her bus is def sweet. Very well done floor plan and incredible use of space. And now...I have to go...I have a channel I need to catch up on.
Cool build, I'm glad you found your happiness and purpose. Everybody deserves happiness and it ain't nothing like peace of mind!!!
Beautiful build AND writing. Brava to you!❤
This is an absolutely amazing build! She literally raised the roof. Ceiling height is one reason I've avoided skoolies (6'3"), but I may reconsider.
Absolutely amazing mini bus build! I'd never guess it was so beautiful on the inside, what a fabulous job you have done!
Don't be embarrassed by the little imperfections. It makes the bus feel cozy and lived in, not like some of the bus tours I've seen there the thing looks like an IKEA set up. Your bus is one of my favourites so far. I love it!
I really like the bathroom, stain glass, and light in bedroom. I also enjoyed listening to your story. Much success to you and be safe.
Alyssa I am glad your chasing your dreams , do not ever quit dreaming, do not let let someone change you , just go be careful , be safe
Great build feels like a home and not a bus at all.
I am a disabled senior that travels in a wheelchair adapt, a 2010 dodge grand caravan. My dream rig is a short wheelchair bus with the wheelchair lift towards the front. Her build is absolutely gorgeous and I love it!.🚐❤️👍🏻🐾🇺🇸☕️🏕️🔥😁☀️🚌
Great outlook in loving yourself and knowing YOU. Love the way you did your bathroom on the otherside of your bedroom, unusual, but so many advantages.
Living the dream🤗. Just awesome build. Perfect size for everything. You must be an architect! Love how you divided your backspace into bath and sleep. Plenty of room for both. Lovely tile work by the way. The separate freezer/refrig makes so much sense. Could you estimate what this cost you? Thanks for sharing.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today??
Peace of mind is priceless ❤
What an inspiring young lady, good for you to take life in your hands and live as you want! Oh and awesome build!👍
The bus 🚌 is very nice 👌. Great place to entertain guests 😀.
Beautiful bud. Thanks for sharing 😊
Hi. Your built is one of the most Beautiful builds I have seen what a awesome home you have. Keep up your most serene vibrant energy you are blessed. Enjoy your journey. 🌻
❤Love everything….especially your Aura….Thank You for Sharing
You're so nice and amazing..may God be with you and guide you and protect you throughout your journey.. 👍👍🙏🙏🙏 your lovely dog as well.. ❤️❤️
Amazing bus….just love it! 💖
A nice and functional mobile home 🙂👌🌟🌺. Her doggy Is adorable!!!😘😍🐾🐾🐶
Lovely functional yet stunning interior. Glad to see you have a bathroom (shower & loo). And by the way... your dog Rio steals the show😁
Bus is nice & I’m in love with Rio! His eyes are mesmerizing and he has excellent manners. Such a gentleman. ♥️
She looks and sounds fun to be around, love it...
What a great Sage she is. I keep learning more from flicks like this than listening to sensational news that talk about how wrong (and rarely) how right some public figures are (or should be). See you on the road :- )
Excellent build, especially if it has all the things that make your travels worthwhile. As long as you’re happy and safe. Enjoy your journey ❤❤❤❤
Starlink must be a huge game changer for modern nomads.
the nomads are all about it! boat dwellers too.
There’s so many things I love about this, but my favourite is Rio, what a cutey!
Your Bus Camper Is The Best I Have Seen On KZhead. I Am In Ireland . I am Going To Buy A Camper In Spain I Think ....... As I will Travel Spain........ Thank You Dave In Ireland
Very brave. God bless you
OMG...BEAUTIFUL, EXCELLENT AND AMAZING BUILD...♥️♥️♥️
Been following Alyssa's channel for a while now, and yeah her build out is just amazing! Glad to see your channel feature her and her bus. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful, cozy, functional. Great job!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today??
Beautiful self expression in your closing words!
This is so awesome, one of the best designed camping set ups I've ever seen. You definitely got your hail Mary, congratulations!
She did a great job with that short bus! She and Rio are so cute ❤
You did a really great job very impressed way to go
