In a bold move that would make even the most seasoned travelers envious, the team from Tiny House Giant Journey embarked on a 6-month journey to convert a school bus into a mobile haven of adventure. With a relentless work ethic and a keen eye for design, they transformed the bus into a studio apartment on wheels, ensuring a fresh start for their nomadic lifestyle. The bus, equipped with a powerful 5.9 24 valve cumins diesel motor and a rare Allison Mt 643 transmission, is a testament to their commitment to off-grid living and exploration.
The exterior features an innovative drop-down deck, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living, complete with awnings and ample storage for all their gear. Inside, the bus boasts a well-appointed kitchen with a spacious island and a unique concrete sink, reflecting their dedication to both style and functionality. The living area is a cozy retreat, featuring a TV, a wood stove for warmth, and a striking blue Pine ceiling that adds a touch of rustic charm to the space.
The bedroom is a sanctuary of comfort, with a full-size bed that cleverly conceals storage underneath, perfect for stashing away winter essentials and camping gear. The team's meticulous attention to detail is evident throughout the bus, from the handmade furnishings to the artistic touches that adorn every corner. With thoughtful design elements and a commitment to sustainable living, Tiny House Giant Journey has created a mobile home that is as practical as it is stylish, a true testament to the spirit of adventure and exploration.
