Aaron converted this vintage baby blue school bus into a tiny home for less than $4,500 CAD.
He traded an older vehicle for the bus, and used mostly reclaimed wood to build storage spaces and a bed frame; and the countertop is made from a goat teeter totter.

Epic Vintage School Bus Built for 4,500

The interior design is absolutely stunning. Most of the decor has been thrifted and specifically chosen to match the era of the bus, which is a 1959 Ford B600 Warden Master. Pretty intense name for a school bus isn’t it?

Aaron built this bus because he wanted to try something new, exciting, and off the beaten path, and so far he’s been having a great time exploring British Columbia and meeting new people in the bus.

Aaron says he has to build extra time into his schedule whenever he takes the bus out because so many people want to stop and chat about the bus.

Since filming the video, Aaron has insulated the bus for winter, and added a solar power system.

This is an awesome conversion! Love the blue storage, the reclaimed wood & the hanging chair
Beautiful job. Love it
I know it’s a work in progress & will keep morphing but great job. I really like seeing the old buses & trucks repurposed. Nice! Very open feel for a relatively small vehicle.
