Matias and Austina got a fantastic deal on their bus! It cost them just $3,000 to acquire the bus, and they spent about $18,000 overall on the conversion (although they admittedly didn’t keep receipts). Matias had the idea to jump into nomadic life first, but Austina eventually came to the concept, and now they love nomadic life.

The bus has a fabulous L-shaped kitchen with a propane stovetop and mini fridge. They built a dinette for eating and working, and there’s a comfortable couch. They went with a Separett toilet in their bathroom. What’s your favorite feature of this family’s budget bus build?
