VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Holly and Dustin wanted to get out of the rat race that comes with renting a typical American home. Now, they live full-time in their converted school bus, exploring the US while looking for property to build a shop for the future business of tiny home building!
Their current skoolie is beautifully laid out with a functional 3-point kitchen, clothes washer, and bonus toe-kick drawers for extra storage. There's a small bathroom with an outdoor shower, a pop-up desk for working, and a full bed that suits them nicely. The main living space has two couches that face each other for maximized comfort and hospitality, which also converts into a bed for guests! Dustin and Holly were already close before tiny home living and said this lifestyle has made them even more bonded!

I do find it interesting how most builds don't include a normal dry bath. Being able to do normal everyday things as "residential" as possible would be my goal. Normal bed, couch, toilet, and shower would be my first 4 requirements.
I agree!
A recent convo with a campground owner/operator. The Covid pandemic as well as the number of homeless persons, accelerated the need for or desire for, alternative housing. There are more "Homes on wheels" / "Van conversions" / "Schoolies" registered for use on the road, than there are RV sites available in campgrounds. I watch at least 5 new KZhead videos of new homes on wheels, every week.
Great couple.They both seem down to earth and they have so many interests like gardening and animals. Two things that I noticed here that I haven't seen on any of the other videos I've watched: 1. Couch cushions that are actually thick rather than the skinny 3 or 4 inch ones that can be comfortable only if you're under 30 years old😄. 2. Someone actually acknowledges that pooping sounds come out of a bathroom that no one else wants to hear 😂😂😂. Having a curtain doesn't cut it.
Thanks!
What a magic bus I used live on a narrow boat for 4 years then came ill hard work but love the bus indesr well done
I wish you two to reach you dreams, you deserve it in life.
Very beautiful design & decorating inside & out Ya never know what tomorrow will bring 🤷Very cool you became Entrepreneurs👍 I wish you both huge success & great Adventures Together 🐦
That bathroom door is really cool. Slick bus, glad they're able to make money helping build buses for others.
Thanks! It was actually really fun to make the door in the middle of no where.
The shots of the cats sleeping peacefully speak worlds about a harmonious household. Congratulations on all fronts to both of you. Beautiful job.
Thank you so much!
This bus build is so nice, I had to watch it thrice. LOL! Shout out to Holly & Dustin for such an awesome job! The cozy cabin-like feel and the design of the bathroom door are just a couple of my favorites. Way to go guys. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home. All the best to you 🙂
Thank you so much!
I know this couple and they are great people and I can also remember when there first brought the bus home when they bought it, to see it now is just absolutely amazing.
Thanks a lot George! We’re back in PA until spring if you want to hang out sometime. 🤙🏼
@@Sasquatters absolutely
loved the secret storage in the kitchen and the garage in the back
Love the set-up! I have a Calico with muted colors too! I call her a Muted Calico. Back to the build, except for lack of shower, I could definitely live like that with my Muted Calico, my adopted cat from the neighborhood Tabby and possibly a young black male who's trying to move in. Anyway, love the design with some angles and a real bedroom!
He's wearing a beanie and a hoodie, she's wearing a yellow t shirt. Makes me wonder what weather exactly they're in. Lol. Other than that, great build. Super functional and well thought out. Vibin' couple too. *chef kiss*
I have a shaved head, she doesn’t.
This is beautiful .. Definitely love the seating Congratulations on the business
I love this build and bus so much. I'm so glad they are building for others.
You’re bus looks great. Question on the solar panels, did you do them with the slide outs so you could tilt them for the best performance? It looks like they do tilt. Do you manually pull them out? And how do you lock them in place ?
We put them on slides so they didn’t take up precious deck space. They manually pull out but I plan to put them in actuators. They are currently on locking slides.
For your kitchen get one of those small fans trying to turn it backwards as you're cooking
Where is the kitty litter box? this is my question. I have cats so i'd like to see how people set up their litter boxes. :)
Rehabit8 put theirs in a basement compartment with a catwalk from under the couch.
My ?? Too...l have 2 cats....when we are parked...l put it in between the front seats( we have a older class c and out litter boxes is a big box like with a hole in top....they jump on top then in....a little litter goes out when they jump out but best litter box idea ever....got ours at Walmart..no pee on or poo anywhere only in box ( we use to keep in shower)....when we travel now it goes in shower lol....its perfect it's a square box it is around 24×24×36..
In the garage/solar area located at the rear of the bus. We moved it when I was sitting in the back describing all of the solar components.
In the succulent garden.....free fertilizer

this looks cozy and i love the vibes
Thank you!
Love your style of bus interior. I love your beautiful cats. 🍀💚🍀💚🍀
Thank you so much. They cats would love you!
@@Sasquatters I had my beloved cat Oxy for almost 18 years and so miss him now. 😺🍀😺💚🍀😺
It’s lovey. I’m always amazed how big they look inside. Very nice layout
Wow! First off l love the yellow and white exterior...and the interior just Wow!!! ❤
This bus interior is GORGEOUS! I have watched hundreds of bus/van videos, and this is the most beautiful I’ve seen. Wow!
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
I really like your home on wheels. You have a nice layout. I have always liked the living/ gathering area in the front .❤️
Beautiful schoolie.....
Totally love the bus
Oh wow, that warm rich wood! 😍 My skoolie build is not quite that elaborate. I'm almost done 🤞 can't wait. Great build here! ❤️
Did you add a shower in your bus?! I just can’t imagine not being able to bathe in my own home 🤷♀️ ?!
@@liskalangdon6576 yes I did. Couldn't think of living without a real bathroom. Here's a link to show you what it looks like ☺️ kzhead.info/sun/iqWiZsxxqoaVqmw/bejne.html
Congratulations and good luck on your search for the land enjoy god blessed be safe
Come to southern Kentucky. Land is really good land for cheap, lots of ground water of great quality. Beauty landscape here as well.
Kentucky is a bit too far inland for us.
Loved the reference to Computer Sciences and cable management 😂
A must! 😆
Yes. Cable management is a must. My boss always told me" Make it organized & neat. Even if it doesn't work. That can be fixed. No one wants to touch a rat's nest of wires."
Love the barn wood, I'm a big fan of it. Your bus is beautiful, really it is. Love the bed for the cats up front. I've never seen slide out solar panels, those are so neat. Also your succulent flower box is so cute. Happy safe travels to you.
Oh, I so love this bus layout and color scheme! However, there are a few things I would change if this were mine’s. Would definitely have a shower/toilet combo inside of the bus, would have a max fan in the kitchen, and would also have an air conditioner in the bedroom. That is a must for me! 😉 But I gotta say, if I get a converted bus, it’s gonna closely resemble this wonderfully done interior layout/color scheme! Great job!!!!
Congratulations on a fantastic build. Gorgeous aesthetics..love the skull light - the use of wood throughout is great. Kitchen setup is perfect. Actually the whole thing.. Excellent practical advice. Beat of luck achieving your homesteading aspirations. Continued happy travels and hey from Australia.
Thank you so much Barb!
I’ve seen sooo many bus conversions- yours stands out! Beautiful and thanks for thinking about your kitties❤
What a great home you have! The spice racks in the kitchen are awesome!! And the kitties are superb!!! Have fun and enjoy your adventures! Sending you light, love, peace, joy and abundance always! I love you.
We loveee this bus! Excited to get stared on ours & might steal some ideas 😝
Amazon has a portable dryer that's vented, I have a Panda brand and love love love it
Looks warm and cozy.
Very beautiful love the layout
I "LIKE IT" from just the quick pic of the kitchen
I really like her octopus tattoo. I love cephalopods.
I wished I could afford to get one of those buses and build it up something like what you got flat nose but I can't afford it on my income as a veteran that's on a fixed income I live in a tiny home as it is but at least I'd be able to travel and see some things with that one and have a place for my dog to sleep too while I'm driving down the road may God be with you on your journeys
Really well done! Yep yep yep! I could definitely live there.
What a gorgeous home!! I would enjoy having a schooling. Thanks for sharing yours with us. It seems so cozy and warm. ❤️🙏🏻Jane in SC
The door for the bathroom is great
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful. May your vision manifest. Blessings and Love to you both 😘
Wishing your dreams to fruition, wonderful build.
It was quite the journey! Thank you so much.
What a very lovely build..the hidden spice rack ooh wee🥰congratulations indeed..much love..one love..respect.
Beautiful home!😃
Thank you.
Best advice given here. So glad to see young people doing this and not waiting until retirement. That goes with the traditional nine to five job plan. Wastes many years of your life.
Thank you!
You guys did incredible job absolutely love it💕💕💕💕
Beautiful Bus! looks so comfy and inviting.
This is a fantastic little bus home! I absolutely love the design and aesthetic of the interior and it's very similar to how I decorated my home. This is definitely my dream and at some point in the next couple of years I hope to have a converted bus of my own. In the meantime, I just enjoy looking at beautiful conversions like yours. Oh my goodness your kitties are just adorable all sprawled out and sleeping comfortably! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home and happy travels to you both!
That is beyond beautiful, great job guys.
What a beautiful schoolie you have. You might like Michigan. We have great places to build your shop. I live near Holland Michigan. I think this would be a great place for your shop. I really love your home.
Sounds cold! 🥶
@@Sasquatters Right now it's hot outside. We have colder weather in November December and January and part of March. I just wanted to let you know about Michigan.
@@shirleyschutt3959 appreciate the info! We’re always on the lookout for that perfect spot. Where in Michigan specifically?
@@Sasquatters Any place in Michigan. But I live near Holland Michigan and we have alot of people that come to our State Park that has camping. There is alot of camp grounds in Michigan. I think you might do very well in making these campers around here.
i love your layout , looks classy one of the nicest schoolies i’ve seen.
Thank you so much.
Very nice bus.
Awesome build! Keep up the great work!
beautiful. Especially love the bedroom.
It's beautiful! Love the spice rack!
Beautiful home on wheels! Very pretty kitty cat!
Beautiful bus! Thank you for the tour. 💕
I grew up in a house with a toilet in a closet off the bathroom. We called it the WC (water closet) or the biffy. I'm amused that that's what you kids have! 😎
Much respect to you!
A beautiful build, guys. Well done!
Definitely one of the nicest Schoolies I’ve seen!
Am loving your home

I love what you did and what you’re doing and what your plans for the future are. Looks like we have the exact same bus and I do follow you on Instagram. You are an inspiration for us! I’m still building out, my bus, alone, off grid, and in the desert.
Love it it's beautiful
This is the best looking school bus conversion I have seen. Great job!

My question whenever I think about a tiny house or schoolie--is when you are opening the door and in a new place, how do you keep pets (I have 4 cats) from runnin out and escaping.
Very nice 👍
