This is Jax Austin’s amazing school bus home — and it’s his second build-out! He has been on the road for about 5 years now, including during the pandemic and through a year+ of cancer treatments.
On top of his skoolie sits a party deck complete with a golfing green. Inside he has gorgeous live-edge countertops that “waterfall,” and his bathroom includes a prototype composting toilet from a friend.
Jax’s interview is inviting and informative, and he has plenty of advice for what works and what doesn’t in a school bus. Enjoy the Tiny House Giant Journey tour below!

Intuhwesting… worlds shortest golf course???
😀
I really love this! The wood is so warm and homey, the lighting is really attractive, and a great use of space. Nice job!
Beautifully designed, well made. The ceiling looks great, despite it’s difficult construction. I enjoyed the video, and I wish Jax good health and happy travels. Thank you for sharing your schoolie (skoolie?) and your life.
Sorry about that! I’m afraid we didn’t make the video, though.
