Turning a 1991 Bus into a Luxury Tiny Home: A Journey of Transformation

🚌We purchased a 1991 bus that was in poor condition but had a good engine and transmission.

🔨We completely gutted the bus and removed all the old and damaged parts.

🏫We built a private bedroom with a full-size bed, a living room area, a full-size bathroom, and a kitchen.

⚒️We encountered challenges along the way, such as leaks and painting issues, but we found solutions and made improvements.

🛠️We installed important features like tanks for fresh water, gray water, and black water, as well as a generator box for electricity.

How long did it take to complete the transformation?

—The entire project took us six months to complete.

What was the biggest challenge you faced?

—One of the biggest challenges was fixing the leaks in the bus roof, but we were able to resolve the issue by replacing the entire roof.

Is the interior design modern or rustic?

—The interior design is modern, with clean lines and a bright color palette.

What inspired you to turn a bus into a tiny home?

—We were inspired by the freedom and flexibility that living in a tiny home on wheels provides. It allows us to travel and live wherever we want.

How did you handle the insulation and temperature control?

—We added insulation to the walls and ceiling to regulate the temperature inside the bus. We also installed an AC unit to keep it cool during hot weather.
