He Turned A Shuttle Bus Into A Traveling Tiny House | Full Tour

Hi there, my name is Nate and this is my virtual walkthrough of my tiny house called The Beach Bus. So I bought this from Nantucket. It's an old shuttle bus and it's still got all the old names of towns in Nantucket. It's 25 feet long. It's got a lot of big windows, really cool, a lot of great views traveling the country. I did the conversion with the help of some friends. It's a 2002 GM Chevy and the make of the cab is called Thor. It's a 6.5 liter diesel so it's kind of nice to get a little bit better mileage than a gas motor. It's about nine feet tall. Got the turbo in there which sounds pretty cool. Here is the inside. This is what the front looks like. Driver's seat. Some of my bumper stickers. I chose to keep them on the inside. Here is the living space. Couch folds into a bed. Comes out this way. Got the sink over here which is pump action. It's very easy. Five gallon tank and then a five gallon excess. Fresh water over here. Again, small tanks. I didn't want to deal with having to do gray or black water. Got the fridge here. It's propane and electric. It's really nice. Here's some of the windows here. They're very cool. They're emergency exit windows. Some of them so you can open them fully which is great. These ones all slide which I built some little screens in there. The airflow is awesome. There's all these little windows to allow the air in. Lots of great views. Great big windshield in the front. Over here we've got a solar cabinet and some storage. Got your power coming in. We're in the shade right now so not getting too much but not bad. Some of the deep cycle batteries. There's an inverter charger here which is awesome because if you don't get good sun that day you can plug in to shore power and you can charge your batteries and it's got a outlet right on the front of it for you to plug in. Here's the bedroom in the back. Got your double doors again there which is great to get in and out especially if you have two parties sleeping in the front and the back. Got some shelving there. Another emergency exit window that you can open up here to put some extra air in and then just some storage underneath. Quite a bit actually. I know it's a little bit of a step up but having the extra storage is awesome. Here we've got the bathroom and again this is kind of nice. You can keep this open and you can have a little bit of privacy. Both the doors can block off the back here. Got the composting toilet. Liquids here. Solids here. Very easy. It works anaerobically so you have air pumping through it and that vents out the back. Easy enough. Guitar comes with the tiny house and a little bit about driving space. You've got your cool switches here. Got your fan, your lights, and this is how you open and close the hydraulic door here. You can see the mileage. 161,000. It's a diesel though. It'll go a long time. And your personal driver fan there. And yeah, that just about completes the tour. Let me see if I forgot anything. Oh yeah, you know, it's got this cool bike rack on the front. It's only two spots technically but I've had five or six on here. Easy. No problem. You can see it comes down. It's awesome. Really love this. A lot of fun. This is where you access the motor. Again, that big windshield is just great. I'll throw a little VW sign on the front of that. Get some good laughs from people. Again, the bottom half of this is just like a UPS truck. It's an early 2000s UPS truck so tires and other parts are really easy to get. There's a battery and then this is where the handicap lift used to be. I took it out because I wanted to make it a little lighter. It's about 12,000 pounds, this vehicle, and when I took out that, you know, extra thousand in the back, gave me some better fuel mileage. So here's how those doors work. Again, just so convenient. So nice. You can sit in that bed and look out over the view of wherever you're parked. Love these double doors. Couldn't live without them. And then just a little another storage compartment underneath here. Can hold, I use a Kevlar water tank, like a water bag, 75 gallons, so you can still hold about 500 pounds there. And then you've got your little propane tank underneath there for the fridge. That could be propane or electric, depending on how your power usage is. And I'm going to miss this. I love this. I wouldn't be selling it if I wasn't saving up for a house. I would still be traveling, but things change and, you know, I think I really want it to go to a good home. So I've been a little picky about how I've been selling it. Oh, here's a cool, this is a secret switch here that opened and closes the hydraulic doors. Again, just such a cool feature. It's really fun. Nothing like rolling up to your friend's house and opening the hydraulic doors and everyone filing in. But yeah, thanks for coming on my tour of the beach bus, tiny house, and I hope it goes to a good home.
