Thanks for your support! ​‪@REGRETLYSS1‬ spent years on the road in her first bus conversion, Lucky before upgrading to her second bus, Monarch. This 5 window short bus had just 68,000 miles on it's Powerstroke 7.3 diesel engine when she bought it. She brought it to ‪@roadwidgets‬ for an 8 inch roof raise so that she could fit ample insulation in the floor and ceiling while still providing her with plenty of headroom and a conditioned interior space that would allow her to live off-grid in subzero temperatures which you can see her do here:    • Alone and Cold | Living Off Grid in -...  

The interior fit out was a collaboration between ‪@REGRETLYSS1‬ and the team at Chrome Yellow Corp (recently closed) led by ‪@ChuckCassadyYT‬ who along with his partner Ben Jackson are arguably the most accomplished school bus conversionistas (yes I made that word up) of this past decade. Basically they're the best. Look inside the bus. It's absolutely GORGEOUS and this is a testament to Alyssa, her aesthetic decisions and material choices and the expert craftsmanship of Charlie and his team. I think of this bus as a DIY/Professional collab. Oftentimes the pro builds are missing the charm of a DIY build and the DIY builds are mission the professional fit and finish of the pro jobs. Alyssa's bus is literally the best of both worlds. It is in fact THE BEST SHORTIE EVER BUILT. If you know of a more gorgeous bus conversion please rant and rave about it in the comments below. I would love to see it.

Finally, ‪@REGRETLYSS1‬ makes the best #buslife content on Youtube. She's an exceptional storyteller, poet, and lately unlicensed therapist which turns out is one of her many callings. Watch this video of hers and I bet you'll be hooked on her content for life    • Alone and Cold | Living Off Grid in -...   but don't forget when ‪@REGRETLYSS1‬ has a million subscribers, Justin from Mobile Dwellings told you about her first. Now you owe me one and all I ask is that you learn more about Alyssa's story here:    • Regretlyss Finally Got What She Was L...

    That's one of the best bus conversions I've ever seen. I'm jealous.
  • @JonniD
    EXCELLENT build and layout, and bravo to that bathroom! 👍 I just can't take seriously all these vanlifers who pretend they don't need a toilet and shower/tub on board. Almost all "What Van Life Is REALLY LIKE" videos warn about the inconvenience.
  • Totally loving the lay out and the MOST realistic Van tour ever (left over glowstick, crumbs and all) Vans/Buses are LIVED IN and this one sure is that! Wish more people did tours like this! Love your Bus!!!
  • @Nomzi
    Alyssa is incredible. The ending was beyond refreshing, and perfectly encapsulates what true freedom really is. She is a gem.
  • @janedarc7731
    Great build! I don’t think I could live in a van at this point in my life but for some reason I’m obsessed with van/bus-living content😂 I think I just admire people that are willing to downsize, take risks, and live on their own terms. But, I have to say, this little bus is the first build I’ve seen, after watching over a hundred or so videos, that actually seems realistically livable. I totally understand being proud of that bathroom, it’s what made the difference! Well done!
  • I just wanted to let you know, that the words you said there at the end (for the last minute or so) really moved me to tears. I've never heard someone put my feelings into words in such a magnificent way. Thank you.
  • Beautiful bus! The inside looks 10 times bigger than the outside. The bathroom is gorgeous! And the bed area looks so cozy with that shelf holding all your precious mementos. And Rio is a beautiful dog <3
  • @calliey59
    This bus is great. The bus really looks like a tiny little house on wheels. It's so cozy.
  • @katew9927
    I love your build! It has everything that is missing from so many others: a proper dining/work table, a bathroom, air conditioning, adequate solar, etc. I love it!
  • Oh man ive been following Regretlyss1 for awhile now. Such an amazing journey. Chuck did a great video of this bus when they finished it. Super awesome.
  • Was teary eyed in the last part :( but the whole content and story inspires me a lot to just live simply with peace of mind, and a content heart :)
  • @capricorn726
    I love how she layout her bus. I think this is one of the best builds. And this interview was funny as well.
  • @donotneed2250
    Outstanding!👍🏼 You seem to be very happy and that's what counts. In the Army in the 1970's I realized that being behind the wheel made me happy. Ten years after getting out, 1991, I obtained my Commercial Drivers License and drove a big truck until 2018 when I was medically retired. Best of luck to you and the fur baby, young lady...
  • Hello Alyssa ,oh my gosh I want your bus so bad! I watched Chuck Cassidy's video on your bus, it was the best explanation as to what he knew and why he liked this Bus so much. Watching it today brought be back to why I Love this bus! Perfect size to drive, engine strong, Bathroom lg and comfortable with Stain glass window, so Beautiful, huge bed so cozy looking, kitchen faucet gorgeous, the fold out guest bed perfect. The vintage all around sense of style is my style! I am a single woman for the first time in yrs. I have studied buses, RV's for a long time .May I please be the one you consider if you ever sell this Beauty! My Dad just recently passed away , I know he would be proud of his daughter to research , do the homework and I did. He would have chosen this Bus for his only Daughter! Ps isn't there a knob on toilet Chuck Cassidy installed? Because of germs and all around, well you know why. Lol he makes a good point and I thought , right on I would want the knob too. This is my Dream of the Bus I want! I can't stop writing about it. Take Care and Thank you for sharing! So Happy to see your bus!
