  • Our family of 4 converted our school bus Chitty Bang into a tiny house from October 2015 until November 2016 with other enhancements, changes, and renovations over the years. We traveled and lived full time in the bus from November 2016 until May 2020 with our English Mastiff and cat in tow. We were able to travel all over Texas, to Washington state and down to AZ. We never pushed the engine, and we traveled every 3 months between places to ensure our engine would last.
  • We never had any issues after we changed the tires/ oil/air filters/radiator fluid/transmission fluid and injectors in 2016 before we hit the road. You CAN live off the grid in this bus We did many times for months at a time.
  • We lived in it and used the rooftop AC running a 2000-Watt genny in Arizona, as well as simply plugging into a house, RV park, or campground 110v, 30 amp, or 50-amp service.
  • This bus was designed for us to be able to fully live off grid, only needing to have access to water to run our shower and sink, and access to trash to dump the compost toilet and house hold trash.

MCI Bus professional conversion. Raised Roof, whole house inverter with eight solar panels and batteries plus a 10KW diesel generator, Two New Coleman Central air/heat, full kitchen, and many many new parts.

Detroit diesel runs great. Tons of upgrades and new parts.

Countertops, marble tile kitchen floors, custom tile backsplash, custom wood cabinets, flatscreen TV.

The bus needs labor, but not the expensive parts and certainly NOT the big-ticket luxury items that are listed above!

Runs and drives but I don’t feel that it’s safe with the new but crawling tires and air leaks.

This bus has been the dream of three bus nuts who fell short of getting it done before spending a small fortune.

I invested over 40,000 (half of what the guy I bought it from) but I know I’m not going to get close to getting it back because it needs a lot of work that I didn’t finish and it’s been sitting a while (my brand-new tires are dry rotting).

So, if you want a project that could be a killer boon-docker that’s had the heavy lifting done or just for the amazing parts list.
