They Built a Home on Wheels in Six Months

Alexa is an artist who was looking for an art studio on wheels. When she found this excellent short bus on Facebook Marketplace, her dad joined her to check it out. After confirming that the engine looked good, she bought the bus for just over $3K.
She only spent $7,700 on her conversion, using tons of reclaimed materials and furniture to complete the build-out. Because she didn’t want any walls in the bus, she added a bathtub to get clean but kept an open floor plan. She makes a living off of her art and teaching art classes! Amazing.

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.

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.
