Seriously, though, this is gorgeous… check out the full gallery of bus conversion photos at WPI Creative. Thank you so much for advertising my 1980 Bristol VR Series 2 double decker bus. The studio is at the back and features thick walls covered with wool and other material to keep sound out and stop it from echoing inside. The studio hides 11 instruments, including several guitars, a saxophone, an accordion, and a flute. The room is also the main bedroom, with the bed folded into the wall. There are also storage cubbies for their clothes, but they often use them to store more gear.
The colour scheme is a good balance, allowing light to flood through the space, giving it a light and airy feel. This bus looks like a wonderful place to live and to bring up an adventurous child within, with everything you could possibly need at hand. The couple behind this conversion took about a year and a half to do the renovations.
Flat Out Travellers
If you’re not confident with DIY, this approach pays off – there’s no risk of creating an ugly interior. The total cost of the bus purchase and conversion was $30,000. They downsized from a 1987 Ford Coachman to a nimbler Ford E-450. To find a Bus conversion company near you, simply search Google for these particular types of Tiny House development companies + your location. Now it’s time for the gutting of the Bus (see what I did there? 😊).
These are the most outstanding conversions I have ever seen. The build above shows that anything is possible if you truly want it. Having a mobile studio in a bus RV conversion sounds challenging to install, but Cora and Jose Luis show it can be done. Now they are traveling the hemisphere, making art and music together and in communities along the way.
Like wood?
The couple will add to the build with time, but, as you can see, they can start adventuring now. The couple’s conversion shows that there’s no need to buy expensive or trendy pieces to make a bus feel homely. Brittany at her fold-out kitchen tableBrittany decided to make her four-year dream of turning a bus into a home on wheels come true by herself.
Amanda shares stories about their adventures, day to day life, and the realities of living and working on the road on their travel blog WatsonsWander.com. When she's not out on the trail, wandering around a new city, or writing about their travels, Amanda can be found curled up in her camp chair eagerly planning their next adventure. I spent my childhood holidays exploring Europe on my parents’ motorhome. Once I hit 30, I traveled the world on a sailboat with my husband Ryan. We've now settled in the Italian mountains but we're preparing to live the van life part-time with our pooch Ziggy. You don’t need your dream conversion to set off – get out there and try the van life out.
Connor And Kesley’s Shuttle Bus Conversion, Sunny
He and his grandfather had discussed the idea of building a cabin out of a bus for a piece of land the elder Butita owned, and Hank decided to make that kind of project his thesis. With a director who was willing to go along, Hank designed and outfitted the bus in a semester… and than took a 5000-mile trip to see how well his design actually worked. You can read all about the bus and the trip on his website Hank Bought a Bus. If you’re not, you will be after checking out these examples of bus houses from around the world. If you’re worried a shuttle bus may be too cumbersome for the trips you are planning, opt for a Sprinter or one of these tiny vans.

The bed here is built on top of cubbies for storing clothes and is surrounded by two generous sideboards. Past these wheel well cabinets, we have the kitchen area, which is defined by two countertops on either side. One side has the integrated stovetop and a small refrigerator hidden behind a cabinet door, while the other side has a deep farmhouse sink and a DIY copper pipe faucet that's hooked up to a hose for water.
This space may be beautiful but it also functional with a full-sized fridge, a sofa bed in the front to host guests and individual areas for the couple to play video games and store makeup. This is the perfect first home to travel a fantastic country in. So, if you’re looking to upsize your camper conversion, or maybe you’re wanting to start an off grid adventure and ditch the white picket fence then read on to discover how good your adventure bus could look.
They even made a documentary film about it, called "Expedition Happiness." If somehow a storybook cottage and a school bus fell in love and had a child, it would certainly look just like this! The lucky inhabitants are a young family of three in Key Peninsula, Washington. "With a lot of imagination, design-savvy, and skillful craftsmanship, they've managed to transform this vehicle into a whimsical, modern cottage on wheels," writes Kimberly. Lured by the idea of escaping the mortgage miasma and rent rut, a new generation of nomads is proving that a life fueled by wanderlust doesn't require a trust fund. It seems that the American dream is getting a bit of a makeover—as you can see for yourself in this list featuring some of our favorite converted buses.
@soulfulbuslife house an American couple as they travel full time with their dog, two cats and two bunnies. This home is designed not only to be comfortable and spacious for the humans on board but also for all of the animals. Skoolie Life is growing almost as fast as the vanlife movement and converting a school bus is an excellent alternative if you want slightly more space inside your tiny home. Many vandwellers will make the move from camper conversions to school bus conversions as their family grows or when they decide to live a more static alternative lifestyle as they make perfect affordable tiny homes. Up next on our list of the best DIY School Bus Conversions is @happyhomebodies a couple living and travelling the USA in their school bus. This is a huge school bus, with plenty of space for two people and three (yes, three!) dogs inside.
This bus is the perfect base for the ultimate American road trip. This tiny home features a comfortable double bedroom at the back of the bus, followed by a bathroom and a bedroom for the baby. This space looks like a cosy place to sleep with enough room to move around with ease. The interior features beautiful cedar planks and white and black furniture. There’s a wet bath, a kitchen with a stove and oven, a table, and a platform bed. Check out these 10 amazing short bus conversions you have to see.
Whether you’re just daydreaming, or you’ve already bought a vehicle, these conversions will help you come up with a solid plan. It’s almost impossible to believe that a bus that once conveyed school children or passengers could be converted into a Tiny home. Manufacturers options, features, colors, etc. can all change without notice and MHSRV assumes no responsibility for the changes or possible errors in information provided by the manufacturer. All weights and measurements are approximate and not guaranteed to be 100% accurate.
No, not all bus conversions are rehabbed school buses (though I’d imagine they’re the most common – see Jake’s explanation at the beginning of his video). Our friends over at sister site Gas 2.0 discovered a converted city bus in Israel. We love the white colour scheme of this van conversion, the white ceiling, walls and cabinetry make this space feel bigger than it is. The wooden accents around the windows and cupboard doors complement the hardwood flooring and, along with the dusty green splashes of colour, give the bus an almost nautical feel. This bus looks like something straight out of a design magazine and would be an absolute pleasure to live in. This shuttle bus conversion features a kitchen, a platform bed, a long couch, a table, a wet bath, and a full-size refrigerator.
This Couple's School Bus Is a Modern Motorhome for Working and Traveling
The outside of the bus should be the first indication that something is different about it. The big vehicle has a stunning and colorful exterior paint scheme, blending red, teal, white, yellow, and blue into a gorgeous mural. On top, there is a rooftop deck, 10 solar panels, and Tesla’s StarLink internet receiver. The interior is minimalistic but rustic, with plenty of wooden details.
It is great to be able to welcome friends and family into your home, no matter the size. The whole conversion looks extra cozy and modern and is packed with awesome shuttle bus conversion ideas. It really shows off the guys’ exceptional DIY skills, as well as their great taste.
