  1. I think this would make a nice home but the colors are not cohisive. The green and blue really don’t go well together. Without an engine it would be difficult to move to a location, so as far as campers go, it is useless. As a tiny home that you move to a property and leave it it seems fine although they didn’t show any storage or bedrooms.

    1. My friends and I NEED this bus for when we go to college. We graduate from high school in 2026. Then we’ll make a road trip to go see it. Please hold it until then. Thanks!

  2. Its honestly my dream to have a double decker home bus… my theme however will be a mash us of traditional Japanese + gypsy + hippie. I like purple and blue and I’m naming the bus Lorelei.
