Sheena and Thom wanted to travel and see the places they kept seeing on TV and Instagram. A shuttle bus was the most affordable option for them and including the cost of the conversion, they were able to create a home on wheels for just $15K.
They have just about everything you could want in a conversion — it even has a shower, although they prefer to simply use the ones at Planet Fitness. A fixed bed takes up the back of the bus, while a cool convertible table/dinette space has multiple “modes” for when guests are over. What do you like best?

Justin has lived somewhat nomadically for 18 years, originally backpacking around. Eventually, he decided a rig would be a more comfortable way of living tiny, and he built a couple of skoolies before settling down in “The Mega Date.”
This amazing transit bus conversion has a huge soaking tub right next to the bed — an unexpected luxury! He also has a cool potbelly stove and some awesome live-edge as a table and coffee table. Enjoy the tour.

Donna was ready to do something different with the rest of her life and originally thought about a Sprinter van or even an RV, but she wanted something she could customize and something with more windows and space — a shuttle bus seemed like the perfect fit for her.
She’s made it into such an amazing home! Donna chose a camp stove that she could move indoors and out, since she loves to cook “al fresco.” Her fixed Queen bed has lots of storage around it, and there’s a pull-out potty underneath. The best part is she spent under $18K! What do you think?

Abi & Ethan are an adorable couple who were tired of spending so much money on rent. Abi had always dreamed of living tiny, but it took rising rent costs to convince Ethan it was a good idea. Once he agreed, they found a bus just two weeks later and started the process!
As students, they’ve kept the bus close to campus and enjoy not having a commute. Since the video was taken, they’ve gotten a job offer to move across the country — and they are having a baby any day now — so they plan to sell the bus once they settle in a new city.

Kate and Sam were tired of their corporate lives and sold everything to travel the world, living out of a backpack. A year and a half into their world-wide tour, borders started closing, and they suddenly had to move back to the States. They lived with Kate’s mom for about three months before thinking that bus life would allow them to see the country and keep traveling.
They jumped into a shuttle bus conversion and the results are great! They have a fixed bed, large storage couch, hidden toilet and the biggest refrigerator/freezer they could find. Enjoy their DIY shuttle bus conversion tour below!
