Her Raised Roof Short Bus Conversion

Alyssa built out her own bus conversion, but it’s not her first bus! She lived in a different one before tackling this awesome project with some help from a professional skoolie outfitter. She used everything she learned from living in the first bus and used it to make this bus perfectly functional for her needs. She even has a separate freezer under the bed so she can make fresh dog food for her pup!

This is probably the largest bathroom we’ve seen in a short bus, and it doesn’t disappoint. Alyssa did all the tile work herself and it’s gorgeous! Let us know what you like most about her conversion in the comments.

Highlights:

  • This is Alyssa’s second bus conversion, and she’s lived on the road for 5 years now.
  • She has bright exterior lights to keep her safe even if she has to park at night.
  • Her 5 exterior cameras help her maneuver the bus wherever she wants to go.
  • Because of her robust off-grid setup, she can stay off-grid for two weeks at a time!
  • While some people say she was running away from her problems, she says vanlife has forced her to face those skeletons head-on.
