Awesome build. Very smart use of space. We’ve been struggling with the front layout portion of our build to have it good for stationary and for traveling, and your layout is perfect for what we are thinking. So thank you!

I may have missed it, but how long is your bus? Do you ever share the electrical and plumbing design plans and layout diagrams, and if so, could you post them for us to see? Is it difficult to set up and run such a system? I really love how you have arranged everything. It all flows very nicely. Can you estimate about how much water you use for showers for the whole family? I only ask because my two adult sons and I are contemplating moving into a bus just about the size of yours and we all love our hot showers. How often do you need to refill your fresh water tanks? The port where you attach a hose to the outside of the bus and fill both tanks is very clever. Are your batteries lithium phosphate or something else? Sorry for bugging you with all these questions, but I am finding it difficult to understand all the information we need when it comes from the experienced pro’s; they all tend to speak some ancient Gear-Head dialect and I have great respect for their knowledge, but I am a long way from being able to translate it. No offense intended to the pro’s, of course. They are a valuable resource. It’s just that I personally won’t be able to devote ten years of my remaining life to learn all of this unless it is in plain language. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us. You both did a wonderful job with it.😊

Yes! Our family has stayed comfortably in our skoolie down to subzero WI temperatures, and also in an Oklahoma heat wave. :) We prefer to follow moderate temperatures, but it's definitely doable! The drains underneath the bus aren't insulated though, so we have to be more creative with our water usage when it's freezing cold.
