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.

Dakota and Dalton live with their newborn baby in an amazing DIY skoolie that might be one of the most stylish (and functional!) that we’ve ever featured. They chose a unique layout with their bathroom at the very back of the bus, and wait until you see how they incorporated rattan, gold, and swans into the entire build.
Their couch slides into a twin-size bed for guests, and it has custom burnt orange upholstery that pops! Their functional kitchen has a massive farmhouse sink and an oven for baking. What’s not to love about this bus conversion?

This family of four lives in one of the coolest skoolies we’ve seen, mostly because of the giant, brilliant octopus decal on the side that advertises their jewelry business, “Parking Lot Pirates.” But when you go inside, you’ll find a fun and functional home for a family with two little children.
Incredibly, they chose a futon in the living room so they could host guests if they ever want to! Their boys have bunks in the back of the bus near their queen-sized bed, and a fun net keeps the littlest one safe at night. The kitchen has 8 feet of butcher block and an oven, so they can enjoy meals at home around their custom epoxy table. Enjoy meeting this cool family below!

Dolly is a *very* pink bus conversion owned by Destiny, an amazing musician who used to be a teacher but got burnt out after teaching during 2020 and beyond. The bus came to her painted pink, but she did the conversion — including buying $2,000 worth of tools — all by herself.
Her goal with the space was to create a mobile recording studio so she could produce music while on the road. She accomplished that and so much more! Just wait until you see her walk-in closet, full bathroom, and retro-style kitchen.

The Geasey Family has lived in their budget bus conversion for five years after purchasing the bus six years ago for $7,000. Incredibly, they only put about $8,000 into making the bus home, bringing the total for their conversion up to just $15,000!
That thriftiness crafted a fantastic home on wheels, with a comfortable living room, spacious kitchen with tons of counter space, and cozy bedrooms for everyone in the family. While they built before recent inflation took over, their affordable conversion is still an inspiration!

Thor and Deb met later in life as part of a “hardcore hiking group” in Phoenix, Arizona. The chemistry was instant; soon, the couple traveled together and wanted to do it full-time! They purchased the bus from another couple and made some upgrades to make it work for them.
The bus features a neat modular couch that reconfigures based on their needs and offers plenty of storage. They have a rooftop deck, a large kitchen, a standing desk, a compact wet bath with metal around the bottom, and lovely penny tiles on the top. Enjoy the tour of their remarkable space below!
