Steve & Barbara were reaching retirement and figuring out their next step. Eventually, they settled on bus life and spent a year looking at buses. When they came across this 2007 Thomas C2 Skoolie that had only 30K miles on it, they decided to spend the $9K on it and get to work on the conversion.
The conversion is quite spectacular — with reclaimed granite countertops, a comfortable bathroom, and a cozy back bedroom. They have an excellent hand-designed front couch that turns into a second bed. What’s your favorite part of the bus?

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?

Johnny’s van life began in 2019 in a VW Bus which he loved, but ultimately he wanted some more space. So he upgraded to a Ford Transit with an incredible convertible system that can be set up in a number of wild combinations (bed, desk, dinette, and more!).
He does have a storage unit where he keeps his seasonal toys, so he only carries the adventure gear he needs for the season at hand. That’s a great option for an outdoor enthusiast like Johnny! What do you think of his rig?

Guillermo has lived all over the world. Born in Argentina, he spent a few years in Florida before doing most of his growing up in Spain. As an adult, he moved to the US where he’s lived for 26 years in a number of states including Pennsylvania, Texas, and California. Bus life had always been on his bucket list, but he jumped into it quite rapidly after meeting the woman who renovated this VW bus.
She was looking for more space, and before he knew it, Guillermo was buying it from her! It has awesome murals that she put in, a beautiful coat of turquoise paint, and lovely striped upholstery. Its small size means that he does most of his living outdoors — which is how he likes it!

The eOne XL Wide & Tall is ESCAPE’s answer to the single most common complaint about tiny houses: the loft. Most sleeping lofts are a mattress under a slope you cannot sit up in. This build goes wide and tall enough that the upper level reads as an actual second floor — almost standing height, with large windows and a cable rail instead of a claustrophobic crawlspace.
Downstairs is arranged like a small apartment. A large galley kitchen runs along one wall with a laundry center worked into the cabinetry, and the living room carries a full built-in entertainment wall. The bathroom is the giveaway that this is the luxury tier: a tiled shower stall rather than the usual one-piece fiberglass insert, plus a flush toilet and vanity.
Editor’s note: this was Unit #583, offered with a $14K discount in 2023, and it has long since sold. The eOne XL is still built to order, so we’ve kept the tour up as a reference on wide-and-tall loft design. For homes available now, see below.
