Rachel & D.J. have traveled part time in their self-converted school bus, named Frank, for over two years now. Originally inspired by Rachel's dad, D.J. & Rachel discovered the existence of tiny living & after careful consideration, they decided to give it a go. They converted their school bus soon after to enjoy during their vacation days, until they are ready to commit to full time.
Frank is a 40 foot, 2005 Bluebird, with an 8.3 Cummins Diesel engine that has been renovated into a beautiful home on wheels. Their bus features a pullout couch, wood stove, full sized bathroom, beautifully done wood floors & ceiling, massive amount of counter space, & a main bedroom. Since Rachel & D.J. travel with their three animals, finding a bus that had enough space to accommodate the entire family was a non-negotiable for them & they are so happy they committed to a larger space.

This is an absolutely amazing build!👍🏽I appreciate the fact that you are more focused on having your home on wheels meet all of your expectations rather than just throwing something together and hitting the road. You are going to be spending tons of time in that space. You might as well have everything exactly the way you want it. When you're finished you'll be able to put your energy into making memories, and savoring your time on the road when you do go full time! Best wishes to you❤

You guys did a great job on your tiny travel home.

Everything about the bus is awesome! You guys did an excellent job! I'm envious of those building skills & knowledge! Have fun!!

I love how the van is named 'Frank' ..love it

After a couple a videos about recirculating system, I thought it was a bad idea to just use off the shelf parts from water purifiers because it gets clogged easily with soap. Only from this video I realized it could work for people who just want running water without additional soap, relaxing showers indeed!🙌🙌

Hey, I think you guys did amazing job on your Bus Home ❤ Very good ideas. It's okay if you can't go full on living in it yet. The most important thing is that you guys did all the hard work already, and now nothing but enjoying your handywork ahead. All good things comes in time. We're over 50s, in the process of changing our lives. I wish you guys a whole lot of Happy Traveling.
