VIDEO DESCRIPTION:

Join Jimmy and Jill as they take you on an tour of their school bus tiny home, affectionately named Ida. A week after selling their van, they found the perfect “Goldilocks” bus to start their journey of living on the road. In this detailed tour, they share how they designed their 34-ft bus to accommodate a full kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedroom while maintaining comfort and flexibility for long-term living.

In this video, they cover their custom-built kitchen with ample counter space, dual cooktops (induction and propane), and a farmhouse sink large enough for future plans of growing their family. They explain the versatile living room setup, with a large pull-out couch and floating table that adapts to different uses. Learn about the radiant floor heating system, 13 kWh battery setup, and their decision to incorporate automatic chains for mountain driving.

Jimmy and Jill also discuss their fully customized bathroom with a DIY composting toilet and their walk-in closet in the back of the bus, which provides storage for all their needs. Plus, see how they store their bikes, batteries, and 100 gallons of water beneath the bed, while also making room for future family members.

Whether you’re dreaming of bus life or looking to build your own tiny home, this video is packed with practical tips, inspiration, and insights on how to create a cozy, functional space on wheels.

  2. Well said ” leave no trace ” that is something we all should live by no matter what you’re living situation is.

  3. You allotted a practical amount of space for recycling and garbage! So many people have tiny little spaces for this.

  6. It was great to meet you at The Bus Fair. Love your bus! Hope to see you soon and get to hang out more! Skooliepalooza? The Ungathering? The Bus Fair 2025?

  8. I live in a camper, and I’m also a chef. I need to let you know that cooking with an induction cooker does not cut down on the amount of liquid going into the air. The liquid is evaporating from the food when it gets hot, irregardless of the source of the heat.

  9. Very well planned out looks awesome nice and bright too, plenty of storage real nice bedroom, love the wee window in the bathroom . so many add on practical areas. You both did a wonderful job . I love this !

  12. This is very brilliant. Looking to have something like this in the near future. This will stop my living situation
