Man Transforms Reused Bus into Amazing RV
Look above. That used to be a yellow cheese school bus! Man, when I first saw this, I was too interested. I read all the steps, and looked at all the pictures of what Jake Von Slatt did. What he did was buy a cheap school bus (a little more than $2,000) and transform it into a beautiful, homemade RV. I like his homemade RV for a couple reasons:
- He did it cheaply. The bus cost about $2,000, he did most of the work himself (or with his friends), and he got a LOT from the dump, craigslist, or freecycle.
- He reused a lot of materials, thereby creating his RV in a very “green” way (reused bus, materials from dump, reused mess off websites).
- You can see the process of the bus’s conversion. Seeing all the steps it takes is really interesting, and makes me want to (one day) attempt something like this. It’s really cool, so por favor take a look at it.
Anyhoo, enough with my thoughts. Enjoy this video of Von Slatt giving you a tour of his homemade RV that came from a lil’ ol’ cheese bus.
Good job on the bus project, I wish I could find one of those buses for myself, where can you find these buses at, where did you find yours at, If I had one I would probably get the automatic kind rather than the stick shift one, but anyways good job.
I have an alternative to a bus conversion. I am a liveaboard on a 27 foot sailboat that I bought last year on eBay. I bought it unseen except for some pictures. I was in Los Angeles, the boat in Hampton VA, and I watched the progress of the auction like a hawk, and jumped in as the last seconds ticked away, and won it for $1,100.
It is a cruising sailboat, so it already is set up for occupancy. I made new curtains and cushion covers, cleaned and renewed the woodwork. I installed 120 volt GFE power for a new air-conditioner and a small refrigerator. I replaced the cruising12 volt wiring and installed LED lighting that total 44 watts.
I had the 9.9 HP outboard motor checked out at a nearby marina (cost: $500) and I repaired the three sails.
The marina is located in a salt marsh opening up to Chesapeake Bay, and fees are only $180.00 a month for a six month lease, and even less for a full year. The marina has free Wi-Fi, showers, a sauna, and tennis courts, and is located in a upscale gated community.
I hope to cruise the boat south next year, down the Intracoastal waterway.
I thought someone out there might be interested in another type of low cost "alternative lifestyle" residence.
