It is ready to live a little off the grid.
Buses are the go-to choice for people who want to live on the roads. They are much bigger than typical camper van conversions, and more spacious than truck campers. They aren’t motorhomes though, which can be expensive to buy.
Buses offer plenty of space for people and their possessions. They can also be used as a blank canvas for the owner’s needs and wants. This 2000 Blue Bird was transformed into a mobile home by a spectacular makeover.
The bus, which is 22 years old, has a spacious interior. To one side is a long couch that folds out to make an additional bed. A counter is located next to it, with soft-close drawers that provide additional storage. The kitchen is located across from the couch. The kitchen area has a propane-fueled four-burner stovetop. There are additional drawers, a sink and a refrigerator/freezer combo.
The kitchen faces the rear bedroom which occupies a large portion of the bus’ rear. There is additional storage beneath it. The bathroom is also located at the rear. Although it is narrow and squeezed into the bedroom, it has a composting toilet, as well as a stand-in shower.
Although the exterior is finished with green, it appears almost unnoticeable. There is a ladder that leads to the roof at the rear, as well as five solar panels and a skylight. Access to the solar panel batteries, two graywater tanks (one for each shower and one for the sink), as well as a 45-gallon water tank are all found on the exterior. A backup camera is also available. Although the video doesn’t go into too much detail about the mechanicals of it, it does reveal that it has a Cummins diesel motor.

These vehicles are backlogged by companies that make and upfit them, but there are still other options such as a converted Blue Bird Bus. There are many options for a. Conversion of a bus is possible, but it may be more difficult than converting an existing one.
