I bought a 1993 Bluebird School bus for $3500 and converted it into the ultimate rolling hunting camp. This is basically my Tiny House on wheels. I am traveling the country in it to raise awareness and educate people about our public lands. Check out the tour of the bus and follow along for a lot more content coming soon!
Keep it public, Everyone.

That tent really ads to your living space we may have to consider something like that when our bus is complete. Thanks for sharing.

I’m 17 & being that I will graduate this summer of 2021 being that I could tow my 93 idi behind a bus allows me to keep my truck & have plenty of storage for my stuff & have plenty of space to live. I think the bus platform is just better built & can take a little more miles than the traditional rv that has a lifespan of abt 100k.

Sweet to hear that it was built in Mt Pleasant Iowa! This is my hometown. Fun fact... every male relative that I have worked at Blue Bird until the day it shut down. I have many good memories of running around that factory! Crazy to think that in the late 80's and early 90's that they would just let kids roam that place during operational hours. It would be awesome if the bus could make it to Iowa at some point!!! KEEP ON KEEPIN ON brother!

Nice paint job on the bus. Yes, Skoolies are so much cooler than any camper ! Love your idea of the additional tent room. Would be nice if it could also be used as a screen room too, so that you can still see the views, but without the nasty bugs that bite. Have fun & safe travels.

Nice job man! The no start 'vandalock' when the rear door is latched is standard on school buses. It's nice for security and avoids theft if you happen to leave the keys laying around.

Nice and simple. Like it a lot. Very usable, all other conversion shown are made to live full time in. One thought about your CampChef oven/stove, other than they are really great. You modify your countertop to drop/lower the stove to a lower level. That way you're not standing on your tiptoes frying hash browns. Good job!

Not a bad build. Nice & simple. I’d like to do one as a toyhauler. Modifying the rear into a dropdown door/ramp would not be all that difficult. What worries me is the roof line where it meets the walls may have to be modified so the cage/roof of our sxs fits.
