Today lots of people are looking for alternative ways to live without mortgages and it turns out that there are several ways to do it.
Tiny houses on trailers aren’t the only way to go. And with enough labor and the right materials you can create a very lovely home.
The folks at WPICreative took this raggedy old school bus and transformed it into a beautiful home on wheels. It even caught the attention of the writers at Inhabitat.
I guess you can say it’s a custom built motorhome with a rustic charm to it. It has a completely custom wood interior and like all school buses it’s surrounded by windows.
Unhappy with your view? Drive on.
Enjoy the rest of the photos below:
This bus conversion was done by the folks over at WPICreative and was just recently sold to a young couple who are using it as their home.
Much of the interior resembles the look and feel of a quality built tiny house with all wood interiors and shelving.
The sink is large enough for you to do dishes if you lived here.
Again a nice close up of the quality workmanship on the shelving above.
One thing I love about school buses is how they are completely surrounded by windows. This gives you the possibility of beautiful views and incredible natural lighting. This is somewhere that I’d love to work.
You can see the closet space in the rear of the bus in the photo above and I imagine on the opposite side that there might be a shower and composting toilet but I’m not sure on that.

I own a converted school bus as well. Nice Rig! Far more attention to detail than I have taken so far. Love the ceiling! I love your open theme, our rig is very much like yours but with accommodations for 7 to sleep…
Cheers!

I love this. The windows and curved ceiling make me so happy.
I wonder if it is properly insulated for winter, and if the windows are updated to be more insulating than school bus windows? I remember some pretty cold rides when I was a kid…
It is a BEAUTIFUL home! I love the wood interior. It blends into the natural environment so well in these forest photos.
If I’m not being too nosy, how much did it cost to purchase?
Beautiful. Absolutely Beautiful!!!! Two quetions: 1.- Bathroom?; 2.- What is on top of the roof?
Thank you.
1) Love, love, love the double sink. So many tiny/small homes only have one sink. I’m asking myself, how do they wash, rinse and drain in such a microscopic space?
2) Saw the open bookcase. How do people contain their belongings when on the move? Thanks!
huh houses usually have one sink.i live in a medium size house(not mine house)and there is only one sink.The people who use to live in the house i’m staying in built the house 30 years ago.
I was also wondering about the cost and the bathroom. I think I would like some of the windows blackened or removed for privacy. It is very cool! I’d love to have one myself!
wow it is amazing.looks expensive.
