VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
At seven years old, Chris had already decided that living in the wilderness with his pup was in his future. With several rigs and over eleven years on the road, he's now in a 2002 Blue Bird skoolie with the capability to be off-grid for long periods. Two hundred gallons of fresh water allow him longer stints in remote places and massive amounts of exterior storage to hold necessary components for any unexpected events.
This tiny home on wheels has a roof raise giving more space for upper cabinets and flexibility with the floor layout. The kitchen is exceptionally functional and is surrounded by multiple desk areas. Several large windows with a skylight allow an abundance of natural light to enhance the mysterious grey tones throughout the build. Living life on his terms, in his own space, and wherever he wants to be is a priority, and he encourages the same for you!

Bev True Anos atrás

I think you are the ONLY person i have seen who has a railing on your roof deck. Very smart. Also your bus is HUGE, probably larger than my entire house. I heard the words "extra storage" a ton of times. Amazing set up.

Helen Ramsdell Anos atrás

I was thinking the same thing!

Trish Lambert Anos atrás

Double Decker Family also has a railing system on their deck. They have children, so it was very necessary, but yes, it is nice to see that precaution taken.

Kateri Hernandez Anos atrás

I’ve seen many buses with railing in roof

Trish Lambert Anos atrás

@Kateri Hernandez You must be so proud!

Ann inRiverside Anos atrás

I've seen quite a few adding railing especially the ones that have children and one guy actually created a message to put an umbrella and lighting lighting that just has a pinhole and can take it off real quickly and put it back back so I think railing is getting more popular just for safety reasons. But myself personally I would never have a roof deck and never set on top of my vehicle even if you get a little bit better view it can't be that much better. I just don't understand the point of going out into nature and then sit on top of a vehicle. I would rather have my feet in the grass or the dirt and smelling the pine trees 1/2 pine trees and have the shade of the trees instead of out in the sun on the sun on top of a metal object that you're driving around to me it just defeats the whole purpose of the reason of why people are on the road and mostly they go out to nature

Trish Lambert Anos atrás

Hands down the best, most practical conversion I've ever seen. It's not even a tiny home, it's huge. I love it. 💜

Google Account Anos atrás

You have done an amazing job of creating an outstanding well-organized, self-contained, fully functional, off-grid mobile home.

Kevin Shumaker Anos atrás

I followed you when you started the build, and the puppers ran into issues. I am happy to see both the bus and the pupper are doing well, and that the build turned out so fine.

Tiny Home Tours Anos atrás

Thanks for sticking around Kevin!

Angela Gill Anos atrás

This is an awesome build. It has plenty of room and gives you separation space when needed. He has addressed most every issue I see with off grid living. The freezer, the a/c, hobby storage. Out door toy area. The quilt curtains is an amazing idea. Quick and easy and decorative. A really good build. Love it.

Roanna the Phoenix Anos atrás

I love that you still have unique collections...it's important to have various hobbies and passions. The set up you've created is fantastic for your lifestyle and obviously well thought out. Very nice. I especially liked your kitchen and all your storage. Love that you have railings on your roof deck as well. Many more years of great traveling adventures for you.

NoProGoPronto Anos atrás

Not that it means anything, but I'm still here. Watching the progression over all of these years as you reach this point has been nothing short of amazing! I'm sure you have inspired and will continue to inspire the next generation to follow your lead into the possibilities of Off Grid Living, making money on the road, or just ways to be happier. You're truly one of the best Chris. Continued Success, Happiness and New Beginnings... 🙂

Thanks for sticking around all these years. I think you are the most consistent people I have chatted with over the years, I greatly appreciate it.

As a 7 year old you were obviously more in touch than some others. Bravo, young man, you made it happen on your terms 🙂 I’m considering this adventure but have a few things to deal with first, but I’m a new subscriber and I’ll continue to watch your channel, and I will admit sometimes along the way ask your advice and guidance. Outstanding young man, you are incredibly awesome 🙂

Nite Writer Anos atrás

I've been waiting a long time to see your ceiling finished. I'm glad you lightened up the walls. I'm a great grandma and selling my home. My husband was a 30 year vet. My mom died ( she lived with us) about 6 months after my husband, mom ( my dad passed and was also a 30 year vet.) She passed my daughter left the next month and for the 1 st time in 50 years no one was there but me. When sold I'm getting a short bus my son is going to build out for me. So I'll know you when I see you. I'll be the white head round great grandma. God as my piolet I'll stay on the road road till my home in heaven is ready for me. I'm Mary. See you soon as I can.

Yep!

Wow, this is such a nice bus. It looks like an actual apartment. Congrats ✨

Boondocks Dragon Anos atrás

ZEP2 is the closest thing to what I'd consider the "perfect schoolie". Comfy inside, but designed for those who truly live outside. 🥰 The pendleton throws tickled me. We've got tons of them (definitely try to only buy actual Native-made ones, as the Pendleton company itself just appropriates the Navajo designs w/o benefitting native communities in any way). Love the colorful versatility of them. The butcher block really keeps the natural feel going, too. I love how much this particular bus is like a full home, really not giving up much in the way of creature comforts. A lot of fully off-grid schoolies I've seen definitely sacrifice a good bit of comfort in order to include all the necessities. ZEP2 sacrifices none of that. So impressed with his design. I'd love to be able to really tour this one myself, and take some notes! Love & Light from Mississippi. Y'all stay safe and keep taking care of each other. ✌🏼💚

madcow 3417 Anos atrás

I ended up doing 100% solar on my roof, but one of my earlier designs was to have solar panels that unfolded as the railing for a roof deck. There were a variety of reasons for me to not do a deck: fear of heights, weight limits, wanting to maximize solar power... You currently have 3 panels wide. If you set it up as 2 panels wide over the deck then you just lift each side up as the side rails.

Dj VinRoc Anos atrás

As a collector myself it’s nice to see a collector integrate their hobby into a small space

MsPhillyG Anos atrás

Great bus, I love how everything is set up. The shower is an absolutely plus for me also, I don't like being hot so I would definitely need a shower everyday sometimes twice a day. I think being in a cooler climate sounds amazing. Love that you have a 4 legged friend with you😊. Also did you need a CDL license to drive your schoolie?

Bonnie MacPherson Anos atrás

I like how you have yourself really together! Your bus, eye for interior design, all of it. Good on you!

Wonderful seeing your accomplishments over the years! I began watching you when you were working in Alaska living in your van! Congratulations on your vision and perseverance, a truly inspiring life!

Talia al Ghul Anos atrás

I've gotten into watching real estate videos. Large houses, tiny stationary homes, to RVs whether it be from Newmar or custom jobs like this. All I have to say is that for different reasons, they are all impressive. RV custom jobs like this are no exception. From a large exotic mansion with all the amenities in Europe, to nomads traversing the States in custom RVs, it does not matter. If the owner is proud to call it home is all that really matters. It's all the same in the grand scheme of things. Thanks for showing us this life style. It looks like a lot of work but also fun.

This is the first off the grid mobile home that I would actually live in. Really like it. I would replace the roof deck with more panels but outside of that I don't think I would change a thing.

I love this insight into your lifestyle and your beautiful bus. I particularly the railings on top of the bus. Safely is important and going up with some form of alcohol makes taking care of safety makes it all the more. Keep having fun and enjoying life the way you want to, thank you.

Leah Unfeigned Anos atrás

This is beautiful like an apartment! I'm glad to hear someone say they feel sticky if they don't bathe. I just can't get with the no shower movement, I can't sleep either if I'm dirty.

Hi Mr Chris. Many thanks to you and life is a joy for setting up our tiny home tour. Your interview with our tiny home was wonderful with a joyful experience. Another Blessing was the much appreciated comments. Also your own personal bus tour is a beautiful thing. My only regrets is I didn't do it sooner like you. I pray for God's peace with you and I will see you down the road.

Tami Alden Anos atrás

This is AMAZING 🤩👍. You did an awesome job on your bus/home. I'm Just curious on how long it took you to build it and asking how much fuel do you possibly go through, between the bus and your car? I know you mentioned an estimate $$ for your "bills" but did not mention if it included your auto fuel.. Depending on the maximum amount of traveling.?

Poss McLeod 10 meses atrás

Great call with the roof deck mate! Just makes the whole vibe more about freedom and the great outdoors, love it!

superbee1969 Anos atrás

Hi Chris. Haven’t watched in a while. I’ve been really busy. What a great job you’ve done on the bus. The last time I watched the ceiling wasn’t done. It’s great to see Kobuck again. Do you and G still split visitation with him?

Brian Davis Anos atrás

Nicely done Chris great tour of your home in looking forward to living someday on the road I know I'll get there. Thanks for sharing and safe travels.

Joan Anderson 10 meses atrás

Kenneth G. Jr Anos atrás

Great video! I have some questions which others likely have, if you answer questions. Do you level the bus and if so how? Do you travel with others, or do you make new friends everywhere you go? You obviously had money to do such a great build, so I assume you had savings prior to starting? Unfortunately, what you are doing couldn't have been done 20 years ago, and Starlink will only make it better for more, in more remote areas. I would have done what you are doing if it had been available, and by the time it was available, we were retired and traveling with a camper. Those we met living full time on the road were mostly either wealthy, or construction type workers. We traveled all our lives on vacations and had large fifth wheels, but downsized when they started feeling too big in the cities. After retiring, we finished off the rest of the fifth states, and a few countries like Australia and Panama. Regardless how one does it traveling and seeing the world leads to a much fuller life than staying home or just going to nearby places.

Dude - LOVE your home! I have a hot idea for your door pin. When you remove it, attach it to the keys to the bus, then before you start the bus, you will have the pin in your hand.

Hi Chris! You have a reaaally nice rug! It would need pretty much all of my needs. If you don't mind me asking, how much did the whole bus (bus, materials and time for contractors. ie. Wielding of your outside gear doors) cost you? I am relly wondering if I could afford something as amazing as your rig. Thank you! Cheers! Max

Monty Ray Za Anos atrás

Incredible Build, I love everything about your choices and I've watched 100s of these builds and was never that into the final product. We have very similar tastes. For example, I couldn't do this myself without having the ceiling raised and the greyhound style wheels, windows modified as you have, etc.to make it like a greyhound. To cheesy without that stuff. lol amazing bro.

Tiny Home Tours Anos atrás

Glad you enjoy it!

Lori Casey 10 meses atrás

Very cool! How much was the conversion really? It looks very clean and simple so probably crazy expensive. Also I agree to do a thing not talk about it. I made a similar decision a few years back and now as I'm aging I'm glad I didn't wait any longer. Happy travels to u and the dog.thanks 4 sharing🤗

Linda I. Brown Anos atrás

Nicccceee! I’ve been watching lots of van and school bus makeovers. I have lots of questions…how do you protect all you have inside, insurance and other wise? I’d be concern when I parked it - I might be targeted to thief, etc. How is the gas prices affecting you or not? How about your options for parking and overnight or at length stay? Love it!

Denise Phillips Anos atrás

After all the videos I've watched finally someone who has a decent shower. Nothing better than getting into bed after a quick, short shower. I wholeheartedly agree being active outdoors necessitates it👍. The only smart person I've seen that has a railing on their roof deck! Well maybe I've seen one over the years.....really like your style young man. And yes you have to have a companion! 🐾🐕🐾Could live the rest of my life in that rig.....just not sure I could drive one that big and haul a car too😂🤣. Enjoy and safe travels 🙋🙃🤗

I followed Chris when he was in his van. He had that thing cramped full of crap. 😂 Haven’t watched him for a minute. Nice to see the finished product of his home on wheels. Too much work for me though. I’m like, Sweet Brown, “Ain’t nobody got time for that!” 😂

For sure, Monaco is a great brand. I just didn't like the low weight capacity and shoddy work in my rig. Those Dynastys are built pretty well.

N to the M Anos atrás

If I didn't live in Europe I'd aim towards basically adapting 90% of this build. It's the most fitting for what I would take with me if I ever decided to live the road-life. So much storage so you don't really have to leave much behind while still being mobile to go whereever you want. Sadly I think TÜV would have one or two issues with this. Not sure on that tho, might have to inform myself better before completely writing this off... Either way, compliments to this guy. Breathtaking build.

Hello from brooklyn NYC, I have watched many videos of RV and Schoolies etc, but your bus/home is the only bus/home that is insurance approved and has a protective railing on the top deck, which no one else has (and should). I want to live like this so bad and escape how I am currently living but where would I park a bus/Rv/Trailer like this or any type in NYC, Staten Island, New Jersey etc period?? I'm so sad and depressed.

Ann inRiverside Anos atrás

Yours is definitely a home. I see a lot of bus bills and it still looks like the mentality is when they build out a Van and I've never understood that because sobecause some bus square footage is bigger than small apartments or studios. And if the bus can carry the weight and you're OK with the gas mileage why not make it look like a real kitchen or a real living area I would never understood that even in the vans a lot of times things are just shells and everything's portable which I guess is OK for cooking surfaces but some people don't even have sinks. Which is OK if it's just a Van and you're keeping it very minimal but again some of the bus bills I'm just shaking my head and because you can make it like a little apartment like the old RV is just better materials that don't shake apart because R v's are meant for 2 liquidations a year that's why they don't hold up. But it still looks like a little home kitchen I don't know what people are thinking.
