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.
