This is the story of Josh and Emily and their self-built bus conversion tiny home, Aurora the Adventure Bus. The couple started traveling and camping out of a pickup truck and, after getting married, adjusted their lifestyle to allow for permanent mobility while also being at home, hence their custom high-roof bus conversion tiny house!
It took them over two years of work and $80,000 to complete the bus transformation. During the pandemic, they embraced remote work and traveled to Alaska. Today, they have a 38-acre Idaho homestead with a shop where they are working on a semi-truck project. The couple runs a YouTube channel called The Hard Way, where you can keep up with their ongoing adventures! Below is a fantastic video tour and interview with the couple featured on the Mobile Dwellings YouTube channel.

“Take what’s important to you, put it in your van, and see the world.” That’s the advice Angie and Tommie give to others considering a van conversion. The couple uses it for weekend trips and vacations, but they may bite the bullet and downsize entirely someday. That’s why they took great pains to make the van functional as a full-time home.
It has everything you need: a hidden bathroom with a toilet, a queen-sized bed, swivel chairs, and a kitchen with an induction cooktop they can tuck away when they aren’t cooking. The battery bank is incredible, allowing them to run the A.C. for days at a time without solar power. What do you think of this conversion?

Bert is a van conversion built by Ermenegildo and Lou in Quebec, Canada. It took them about six months to create their dream rig, complete with a convertible home office, functional van kitchen, and nifty bathroom with a zip-up door.

This adventurous couple met at a climbing gym and, not too long afterward, did a 4-weekend conversion of their first inexpensive van. They used that rig for two years as a weekender van but then started the search for a Sprinter so they could do a full conversion. Once that van was complete, they decided to hit the road full-time.
Alex is a travel physical therapist, and Sean is a traveling carpenter, so their garage is full of well-organized tools that allow him to work on the road. They also prioritized a bathroom in the van with a toilet that slides away when not needed. What do you think of their home on wheels?
