CJ knew from the age of 14 that he wanted to live in a bus, so he started saving up and by the time he was 17, he had the money he needed to buy one! He put about $2.5K into converting the rig — including a 25-inch roof raise, which allowed him to build a one-of-a-kind loft bed.

His bus really has it all — a bathroom with a shower, an L-shaped couch for friends, an oven, and a studio with an expensive piano. He travels the country as a jazz musician and absolutely loves the community on the road.
