Bus Conversion Blue Daisy

A tour of our school bus conversion three days before moving into it and heading to Mexico for the winter. Conversion done using all free and/or recycled items. The wood paneling is from old futon frames, cabinets are from kitchen remodels, carpets are from architectural firms and paints are from everyone's garage. Thanks to all that donated! www.bluedaisyiii.blogspot.com

Actually that isn't true at all. We have an air conditioner and spent a winter in Mexico and a summer in Wisconsin - air conditioner was great. Now we've been in it full-time for two years and have spent two winters in the rain/snow in Oregon. With the help of a dehumidifier and awesome window curtains made with white sheets and magnets, we're living just fine. There is more than one way to skin a cat. $3000 40ft. school bus conversion. Thanks for your helpful advice though.

Least you did two things right. The lock on the back door and the heater. Other than that you didn't remove the metal walls, ceiling and the rubber floor to insulate with poly foam. Nor did you remove the bus windows and put something with stronger R value in. I do love the door, where did you find it? Now I'm just trying to help check out our website for more info. But if you don't insulate the cavities behind the metal you'll be very cold in winter and hot in summer even with the air on.

Love the bathroom, wish I would have done that saved alot of space on time! Added bonus, shit, shower and shave all at the same time!

Cracking Interior Tour. I loved seeing it. Thanks! Loved the rain too. See I live in Saudi Arabia. Been toying for ages about doing a bus project myself. Could you mention the prose and cons? If I imported a Blue Bird or similar, what might be the practical implications of succeeding in such an effort?

It's different, it has so much space in front, your shower (the the first thing narrowing the view) is so far and the space in front is gigantic.

Congratulations for your floor plan, it's so open that I cannot believe it.

I would, FOR MYSELF, make the colors a little less flashy but I would let the LED/Christmass lights where they are, because they are touch o genius :D

I hope you have tons of fun in that bus... errr...home?!?
