Whether van dwelling and bus conversions are your thing or not I think you’ll still enjoy looking at Ryan Lovelace’s DIY 1948 Chevy bus to tiny home conversion.
He took this old funky bus and made it into a mobile micro home and you can see all of his personal touches inside.
With a tiny kitchen, a sleeping loft/pod and a small wood burning fireplace this is totally ready for full time simple living.
There are so many windows that bring in the natural sunlight and it looks like he even added an indoor gutter to hold various plants inside. Very creative.
Let’s take a look inside, shall we?

What a great job Ryan did with this bus conversion, don’t you think? But wait. What about the bathroom? Hmm…
Guess we won’t go there. Or maybe he just makes frequent pit-stops along the way? Well, if you are out in nature in the middle of no where you can get creative, right?
After seeing how simply he lives it shows you really don’t need much to be happy.
And as the great yogi Paramahansa Yogananda once said,”Be as SIMPLE as you can be; you will be astonished to see you how uncomplicated and HAPPY your life can become.”
Question: If you had this exact 1948 Chevy Bus what would you do with it:
