Her $7.7K School Bus Tiny Home Conversion

on April 1, 2024

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.
