When EJ saw one of her friends head out traveling with his mom, she felt jealous and wanted that kind of freedom! Thankfully, her dad was totally on board with her plan and helped the 20-year-old completely transform this short bus into a raised-roof school bus tiny home.
She only spent $12k on the entire conversion, including the cost of the bus. And yes, it has a hidden toilet and shower! The kitchen cabinets are covered in gorgeous artwork that EJ created, and in deference to her bus’s name (Loki), she painted the exterior of the bus bright green.

This is the story of Jed and Sandy’s full-time van life. The couple initially sold their home in North Carolina, quit their jobs, and downsized into a 30-foot travel trailer. After traveling in the trailer, they decided to downsize further into a van to access more remote locations during their travels.
Their DIY extended Sprinter conversion features a functional layout with plenty of built-in storage, a kitchen, cabinets, and a bathroom with recirculating shower and composting toilet. Today, they continue traveling as full-time nomads.
