  • This video is of our first bus conversion. We have now completed another bus conversion and filmed the entire project. Check it out. It's all on our channel!
    The Good News Bus was a project that took about 165 days to complete. We started with a yellow school bus with the seats still in it and transformed into a fully functional RV tiny home. We blogged every step of our project in full detail. Be sure to visit our blog!

    This is amazing. When I was 10 years old, around 1970, my dad came home with a 1955 Chevy School Bus he bought for $400.00. After many months we had a nice little camper-althought nothing like this. This does my heart good to see this. We had many good times in the old 55 as you will with this. I'm sure pops is smiling down on this. Thanks so much for sharing.

    That International Power Plant is extremely heavy duty & is used in semi trucks pulling 50,000 pounds or more. One day I too will be cruising the good ole USA & Canada and maybe even Mexico . You sir are an inspiration , I can see your big ole grin every time you step inside your home on wheels

      Dudes, you can drive all the way from Alaska & Canada all the way to the southern tip of South America, ie., drive your house to the Rio Carnival, already having the things you need with you. Bikes in the back storage area. Work via internet. What are the choices for affordable, directional satellite high speed internet for phone+entertainment/job communication?

      Mary Poe RIGHT? I can do without SOME things. But if you have an instant hot water heater, like this gentleman.... WHY NOT?!?! LOVE the whole thing. You all should REALLY check out his website. The attention to detail on every phase is simply remarkable. And how he encourages the reader / follower to look for clearance deals and talking to Store managers to get a deal. Dood has it ALL!!! good stuff! Thank you so much!

    0:29 Overall a pretty practical floorplan for a family. I think I would switch places between the kitchen and the dinette. The dinette would have fit a little better next to the bathroom because they are both wide. The kitchen would benefit from being right next to the refrigerator. The kitchen would still be fairly close to the bathroom to keep the plumbing runs short.

I would like to say that it appears to value approximately $ 208,000.00 minus emotional ties for this RV bus.
