After retiring from a lifelong career working as transit drivers, Doug and Mindy decided to live in a transit coach bus! They purchased an old bus at an auction, and they converted the coach bus themselves. It's completely off-grid, with an impressive amount of solar on the roof. In this episode, they take us on a detailed tour of their home on wheels.

Would YOU cook in Mindy’s Kitchen?! 😃
not only would I cook in her kitchen I have eaten and sewn in it! Great people!
No question about it. Yes!
Heck yeah!!👍🏼
You are far richer than you believe…you have each other…you have your health…Your home that is paid for and you are travelling wherever you are inspired to go… being rich is more than your bank account…move away from scarcity mentality and count your blessings instead ❤
Does one need a CDL to drive a converted bus?🚌
Wow! What an amazing couple and lovely, talented people! The bus is a dream. If I had only had one tenth of their energy and dedication… I’m glad they explained they had experience driving such a long vehicle. I would be concerned about where to park it but they seemed to have found places.
Ooh Mindy. I need that pretty crystal sun spray by the blue anchor😂. It matches my bedroom perfectly!
It’s a beautiful bus & y’all have done a great job!

Beautifull! Love this conversion… So homy feeling. Iam a bus driver and I think it will be hard to separate from bus in retirement so I think this is a beautifull way to stay active and live with joy. Wish you good and peaceful roads!
How are you and your family doing? I’d love to see an update…. great vids, as always…
What a great couple and they built this bus very nicely. Love it. She’s a great sewer. Great job of fixing up the bus to make it like a home. Very nicely done. I need to find out where a friend of mine can watch your video on sewing. She’s making a quilt too! I thought I could let her know where to watch you at. Thank you both for showing your home.
There is a perfect match for everyone out there. They found their perfect matches.
Sorry too cluttered for me but I guess they love it!
