  • BUS conversion~under $4,000!!! DYI In 8 weeks! *PLEASE SUBSCRIBE and hit the LIKE button😍!
    2000 GMC Savannah Cutaway/5 window/Gas. Paid $2,500 with 79,000 miles on the engine. Runs Beautifully !
    I put my heart and soul into this project and I'm soooo proud to share it with you. I appreciate your time in watching. Please follow along as I find cool eclectic pieces, show you how I transform them and use them in my bus and home !!! "THRIFT FINDS & DESIGNS" Camping, tailgating and overnight stays for distant 12 hour hospital shifts and more...I'm new to this and I would love to have some company...Come along !
    I bought this little bus in 2020. My twins were heading off to college and I was quarantined from my family (ICU Nurse). Timing was perfect. This is a longtime dream of mine. My conversion took approx. 8 weeks, and I did every inch myself...It's a simple conversion but exactly what I wanted and all I need... I spend a lot of time in my bus as mentioned above. It's my space and much needed... Thank you for allowing me to share with you!

    THIS is inspiring! I get so weary and unmotivated by the "pro" builds. This is a bit more my style and a lot more my skill level! Very motivational. 💝

      Yes!!! Came to say the same thing, I got so discouraged watching all the 20k and up builds that’s definitely out of my price range but this was a perfect reminder what can be done and done well 😊 👏🏽

    I love how homey your bus looks like. It's beautiful, comfortable and well conceived. The only thing I would add is a shower set up, which can be as simple as a hoolahoop and a shower curtain suspended by chain and magnets and a blow up kiddy pool. Just make sure you stop by a Lowes or home depot to get a pump sprayer, and voila, you have a shower. When not in use it can all slide under your bed.

    I really appreciate the minimal conversion! My family is thinking of converting a bus to use as a temporary home while we build our farm house, but most of the videos we’ve seen have involved fully gutting. So much character for very little “construction”! Will be stealing some of your ideas 😁

    Hi Melissa, I have to say thank you so much. Im about to find a way to buy a shuttle bus to transform in tiny home for me and my 2 kids to live in it as the rent increse of 46% is impossible to pay and all those videos of people doing it just discouraged me. They do massive build with thousand dollar tools I dont have along with the skills. You saved my day by showing me it doesnt need to all be rebuild to be nice. Thanks.
