Matias and Austina got a fantastic deal on their bus! It cost them just $3,000 to acquire the bus, and they spent about $18,000 overall on the conversion (although they admittedly didn’t keep receipts). Matias had the idea to jump into nomadic life first, but Austina eventually came to the concept, and now they love nomadic life.
The bus has a fabulous L-shaped kitchen with a propane stovetop and mini fridge. They built a dinette for eating and working, and there’s a comfortable couch. They went with a Separett toilet in their bathroom. What’s your favorite feature of this family’s budget bus build?

This German family of three got their first taste of nomadic life during a 10-month stint in 2020 when they camped around Europe in their previous camper. Returning to “regular life” proved difficult, and they wondered how to live on the road permanently.
So they sold their home and purchased this new incredible RV, which cost about €200,000 (~$ $215,000 USD), including all the upgrades they made. The RV has a bed over the cab for mom and dad, and the son has bunks at the back of the rig. They have a table, kitchen, and, yes, a bathroom! In the comments, let us know what you love most about this conversion.

Alexa is an artist who was looking for an art studio on wheels. When she found this excellent short bus on Facebook Marketplace, her dad joined her to check it out. After confirming that the engine looked good, she bought the bus for just over $3K.
She only spent $7,700 on her conversion, using tons of reclaimed materials and furniture to complete the build-out. Because she didn’t want any walls in the bus, she added a bathtub to get clean but kept an open floor plan. She makes a living off of her art and teaching art classes! Amazing.

Jay was no stranger to tiny house living when he found this Commando 61 police RV at auction. He was living in a vintage RV at the time, but this was something new and cool, and he just had to have it! And he did a fantastic job taking it from a work vehicle and turning it into his full-time residence.
A Murphy bed was an easy solution to a first-floor sleeping option, and it acts as his entertainment center during the day. He has two super comfy captain chairs as well as a built-in couch. The back of the RV has the original command center, which is now his eating space. What’s your favorite feature of this conversion?
