Have you ever wondered what it would be like to pack up everything and hit the road, living wherever your heart takes you? For Anna and Jeff, this wasn’t just a whimsical idea—it became their lifestyle. With five kids in tow, they took on a project that most of us would only daydream about: transforming an old school bus into a cozy, fully functional home on wheels.
This isn’t your average camping trip. Their mobile home has all the comforts of a traditional house, including a full kitchen, bathroom, and even a workspace for Jeff, who works as a software designer. The centerpiece? A stunning kitchen that could rival those in many stationary homes. It’s fitted with a spacious Ikea sink that doubles as a bathtub for the little ones, a washer-dryer combo, and a 24-inch propane stove.
But building their dream home wasn’t as simple as just adding a few upgrades. The family poured their creativity and $46,000 into turning their $4,000 bus into a mobile masterpiece. Their journey included two major renovation phases: the first for the basics, and the second for improvements after learning what life on the road really required.
Let’s talk about the details. Their bathroom features a composting toilet and a fully tiled shower with an impressive nine-foot ceiling—yes, in a bus! The master bedroom has a king-size bed with clever storage solutions underneath, making every inch of space count. Even the bus’s original rearview mirror found new life as a quirky, nostalgic bathroom feature.
Of course, their adventure required more than just a comfortable home. A Jeep towed behind the bus serves as their daily driver, perfect for exploring places the bus can’t navigate. They even use an RV-specific GPS app to plan routes based on the bus’s weight, height, and length, avoiding any unexpected detours or headaches.
For Anna, Jeff, and their five kids, this isn’t just a road trip—it’s a lifestyle. Their story is proof that with enough creativity and determination, you can turn an ordinary bus into an extraordinary home.
