So, You Want to Buy A Bus

February 22, 2017April 3, 201723 Comments

Since we started this bus adventure we've occasionally heard from folks who are interested in doing something similar but aren't necessarily sure where to start. Converting a bus into a comfortable tiny home on wheels is a lot of fun, but be warned, it's also a LOT of work. We're not experts, but we have … Continue reading So, You Want to Buy A Bus

Okay, so the lifting wasn't that heavy. But we definitely broke a few bolts. After successfully finding a home for the bus, our next step was to remove the interior seats and, being outfitted for 71-passengers, there were a LOT of seats to remove.  The seats were bolted to the floors and the walls of … Continue reading Bolt Breaking & Heavy Lifting
