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.

Just when I think I’ve seen it all, something like this transit bus skoolie conversion pops up, and I’m floored! This couple added slide-outs to a bus — I’ve never seen that before, and it adds an incredible amount of space to their main living area.
But the slide-outs are far from the only cool feature in this rig. They have bunks for guests, a side-by-side washer & dryer, a wine cellar, and the most incredible wooden soaking tub in the bathroom. You’ll love watching this tour below.

This awesome couple has grown children and a teenager still at home, and they were ready for a big change! They got work as KOA Camp Hosts and decided to sell everything and convert a school bus into their tiny home. Because their home sold so quickly, they ended up staying with family for a bit while finishing up the conversion.
They have a teen-sized bunk room, a cozy primary bedroom, and a big kitchen with “normal” sized appliances. Two large couches welcome you when you walk in. What do you think of their conversion?

Tiff & Eric were living their own separate nomadic lives when they met at Skooliepalooza two years ago. There was a spark and they decided to build out the unfinished 33′ bus that Tiff owned and make it a home on wheels for them as a couple.
They also have an adorable child, Ryder, who has a safe car seat spot, an adorable Montessori-inspired playroom and loves living in a small space near mom and dad. Remarkably, the bus was built primarily from reclaimed materials, making it less expensive and more sustainable. Enjoy the tour below!

This little family of 3 was ready for a change in their life, and a skoolie has allowed them to enjoy a slower pace of existence. They didn’t get caught up with creating an “Instagram-perfect” space but instead chose a practical design without breaking the bank.
They went with a one-of-a-kind ceiling covered with fabric instead of wood or other material. It’s a really cool look!

For about 12 years, Salina & Marcelo had been eyeing tiny house living, but it wasn’t until they went to Iceland, and met all kinds of people living nomadically that they decided it was time to make it happen!
They wanted something custom, and so they went with a shuttle bus and made it theirs, complete with a hidden shower set-up! There’s also a really cool collage table that they explain in their video tour. Enjoy!

Johnny got his bus for $3,000 — and it needed a lot of work, especially regarding rust! A year and a half later, he was able to move into his truly beautiful skoolie.
He made sure to keep his two large dogs in mind when building, making them a comfortable under-bed lounge area and making sure he could keep the temperature comfortable for his fur babies. He has a unique couch and dinette design that I haven’t seen before, so be sure to watch the video for the details!
