Living the Dream on Wheels
\nEver fantasized about a life on the open road?<\/p>\n

Dane Eyerly didn\u2019t just dream it; he made it a reality.<\/p>\n

And guess what?<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not alone on this adventure.<\/p>\n

Along for the ride are his wife and their six children.<\/p>\n

The family\u2019s unique choice of abode?<\/p>\n

A double-decker bus, transformed into a cozy home.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t just a quirky story; their home tour video has garnered a whopping 15 million views!<\/p>\n

Stepping into the bus, the first thing you\u2019ll notice is Dane\u2019s office, right at the front.<\/p>\n

Being in software, he has the luxury of working remotely, making this setup ideal.<\/p>\n

As you move further in, you\u2019re greeted by a farmhouse-style kitchen, complete with all the essentials: a spacious fridge, a two-burner stove, an oven, and even a full-size 30-inch sink.<\/p>\n

But why just two burners, you ask?<\/p>\n

Well, the family loves their Instapot and often cooks outside, enjoying the great outdoors.<\/p>\n

One of the standout features of this bus-home is its brightness.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things we really love about this space is really all the windows.<\/p>\n

The giant windows were one of the reasons why we bought the bus in the first place,\u201d Dane reveals.<\/p>\n

Behind the kitchen lies the dining area, spacious enough to accommodate the entire family.<\/p>\n

A cleverly designed folding table emerges from behind the seating, optimizing space.<\/p>\n

So, what prompted this drastic shift from a stationary home in Texas to a life on wheels?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe real reason we wanted to try something new, so drastically different from something we\u2019ve done before, is we felt so tied down to chasing money for happiness,\u201d Dane reflects.<\/p>\n

A road trip from Utah to Texas was the turning point.<\/p>\n

Experiencing pure joy during the journey, Dane and his wife began exploring the RV lifestyle, eventually settling on the idea of converting a double-decker bus.<\/p>\n

As the tour continues, Dane showcases the bus\u2019s bathroom facilities.<\/p>\n

Two separate toilets and a full-size shower ensure no morning queues.<\/p>\n

The upper level houses a ventless washer-dryer combo and a unique appliance, the Sweepovac, which sucks in dirt and dust, keeping the bus spick and span.<\/p>\n

Each kid has a bunk bed, allowing them to add their personal touch.<\/p>\n

The rear of the bus serves a dual purpose: it\u2019s both the children\u2019s study area, stocked with homeschooling materials, and the parents\u2019 bedroom.<\/p>\n

By day, the king-size bed transforms into a play area for the kids.<\/p>\n

The family\u2019s bus home journey began in August 2020.<\/p>\n

After purchasing the bus, they handed it over to the builders in September, and, by December 2021, their dream home was ready.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur plan is to chase 70-degrees. We don\u2019t like cold weather, we don\u2019t like hot weather. 70 degrees is the ideal, wherever that takes us,\u201d Dane says.<\/p>\n

They aim to spend two weeks in each of the lower 48 states over two years, with periodic evaluations to ensure the lifestyle still suits them.<\/p>\n

One of the bus\u2019s highlights is the roof deck.<\/p>\n

Fitted with boat decking to prevent slips and surrounded by railings for safety, it\u2019s the family\u2019s private oasis.<\/p>\n

The kids especially love it for movie nights under the stars.<\/p>\n

Dane and his family have embarked on a journey many only dream of.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re doing this to inspire others to take this leap. I never set foot in an RV before doing this. I think the reward is well worth the risk we\u2019ve taken,\u201d Dane says.<\/p>\n

As the Eyerly family sets off on their incredible adventure, we can\u2019t help but eagerly await updates on their journey.<\/p>\n
