Just picked up a school bus yesterday!

Delux baby!

You might not be a fan of them, but this one is hard not to like! And TIL "school bus conversions" is a thing.
Wronggifplacement
Very specific to have a beef with school bus conversions. +1
procrastinatingagain
That is really nice.
glenngriffon
thats an odd TARDIS
rRockingVegas
Does it come with its own retractable STOP sign?
reverendleonard
Take me with you
ChristopherHallett
Is it just me, or is this an ex-prison bus, not an ex-school bus?
HorseBoxGuy
It’s just you. https://instagram.com/going_boundless

The second repost of this repost just today!

Doing laundry while you sleep gives you one of those fancy motel beds that takes a quarter.
BBaumer
looks fucking HEAVY
letmypeoplego
Have you ever lifted a school bus seat?
sfr33man
Looks like it wouldn't be weight balanced. All the stuff is on the left side of the bus.
thatguyinthecomments
Could be housing water storage and battery banks in the other side. These are sometimes under mounted
siberianhufky
Looks like it is completely missing any living space. It has a sofa but nowhere to sit and eat and the sofa has nothing around it to do.
tidepool
There’s a table with a rolling office chair between the stove and the driver’s seat.
designjunkie
All the people I know that actually live out of these tend to spend majority of their time outdoors. They tour x-country for charity work. ¹
designjunkie
So they spend a minimum amount of time indoors entertaining themselves. ²
siberianhufky
Totally get that, but just seems like a waste to have a kitchen like that then have to eat on your lap!
DavidAndrews
The main issue with these things is head room. Most of the conversions i've seen i could live with are ones where they raised the ceiling.
HorseBoxGuy
They are roughly 2.1m high inside, head room is no issue. https://instagram.com/going_boundless
HorseBoxGuy
This is the owner. He is 6’2”
qroniq14
Based on the comments am shocked so many school bus conversion haters?! Why is this so polarizing?
HorseBoxGuy
Misinformation and assumptions mainly.
jinbee
Because it's a hipster thing that looks cool on Instagram but is impractical / badly designed for real world use.
qroniq14
You have answered my comment in multiple ways.
Olookapenny
I give the tile 30 days before grout starts to crack..too much twist in the frame.. looks nice, travel unrealistic
HorseBoxGuy
Well they did it two years ago, and have driven it all over America and it hasn’t cracked... so.... you’re wrong I guess?
brotherbuzz
This is not an RV. It is a fixture, and a lovely one at that
HorseBoxGuy
They drive it all round America lol
letmypeoplego
Do you think it doesn't drive or something? Mine is similar and I do about 10k miles a year
JackieTreehornProductions
Awesome but of all the things to take up space for convenience...a stove? Wouldn't a gas one be more efficient both in space and efficiency?
SweetrollTheif
Looks like they do have a gas stove/oven
thatguyinthecomments
Wood burning stoves are really popular in the bus/van/tiny home world. I personally agree with you but they have a certain appeal.
brunhildtheblue
That bed is not big enough. My feet would hang off the edge.
Wafflesama
I feel you. I'm really tempted to go nomadic, but the world isn't built for people my size
purdhapley
My knees would hang off. I’m kinda tall
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
That is VERY nice.
ButterfaceTaintClown
The washing machine under the bed - they knew what they were doing...
FabulouslyTiti
haha bed go brrrr
alwaysupvotecats
I’m assuming this bus isn’t actually going to drive anywhere
HorseBoxGuy
They’ve literally driven it across America.
letmypeoplego
Why? Do you think buses don't drive? Isn't that like what they're designed for?
catsandcoke
All this stuff is going to shake loose if they drive anywhere. RVs are designed to take the impact of the road.
lauraInternetJunkie
Can you say how do they manage to? The materials they use?
Copperbrat
Mostly plastics, laminated sheeting/plys, built-ins etc. Grouted tile and free-standing appliances really aren't designed for vehicles.
HorseBoxGuy
It’s a Dometic appliance.
letmypeoplego
A school bus is designed to take the impact of the road too. What do you think schools do with them?
thatguyinthecomments
Most skoolie people I know park for extended periods and drive occasionally to get to new places to park. Lot of them flat tow a vehicle too
HorseBoxGuy
And yet, you’re wrong. They tour all round the states in this.
justarocknroller
I used to know a band that traveled in a biodiesel school bus with all their kids and pets. Hope they're doing alright these days.
JustSomePersonThere
I hope so too. Unless they abuse their pets. In that case fuck ‘em.
justarocknroller
Don't think so. Seemed like happy pups to me.
JustSomePersonThere
Ah good! Then I can confidently continue to wish that person well!
Kingpoopdik
Why would you even assume that?
justarocknroller
Cos it's 2021 and pessimism is the name of the game. No judgement from me, I fuggin get it.
JustSomePersonThere
Unless you mean why would that even occur to me? Answer: a friend of the family is a bad person who thinks they love animals when they don’t
JustSomePersonThere
I never assumed they were. I just said my good-will towards them is conditional. I only extend it to people who do not abuse/neglect pets.
htapoicosilus
Idk this makes like 5 miles a gallon and you can park it only on streets. Maybe it's better to just rent a house where you want to be.
letmypeoplego
I was parked on the beach in lake Charles for 3 weeks and now I'm parked in the Mohave desert. You know what you speak sir.
htapoicosilus
Do you have a school bus, too?
letmypeoplego
Yes
SweetrollTheif
No idea where you live, But around me, rent is really fucking expensive.
htapoicosilus
Europe. We had a house at the ocean in france for 900 Euros a week with place for 10 people :)
HorseBoxGuy
It does 9-10mpg, and they’ve driven it all over America.
htapoicosilus
With zombie speed, probably
HorseBoxGuy
How fast would you like to drive your house?
TheScaryDoor
hottip; if you're gonna travel and live full-time look into redoing an actual RV. The frame and chassis are made to travel and insulate.
letmypeoplego
But RVs are built with fiberglass. Check some RV crash photos. School buses are steel and built to withstand a rollover
wkearney99
Most RVs are built like crap, they're really not some amazing improvement over something like this bus.
VC999999
They plan to stay in Texas where the weather never gets cold. /s
TheScaryDoor
Like I said 'if you're gonna travel and live full-time'. It's good to think about. I know people who have lost their shirts on busses/vans
peikkos
Never gets cold? Where were they a few weeks ago?
HorseBoxGuy
They drove it from California to Nova Scotia
HorseBoxGuy
Sorry, Florida to Nova Scotia.
peikkos
Surprised the maritimes let them in.
h0lycr4p
Where physically is the shower? It's beautiful but my brain doesn't understand lol
SteelKnight
Same room as the shutter, you can see qherw the tiles from behind the toilet change to the shower ones
pigoverthere
h0lycr4p
+1 to you lol
doucettederek32
Under the sink.

Acronymicon
I don’t know if you found it yet, but looking from the outside at the windows should give you reference. The blank one is the fireplace
seapCookieMonster
Bathroom looks to be behind the log burner wall
billdozer86
Next to the bed. Look at the bed again. It doesn't take up the whole width of the bus, leaving room on the other side of the left wall.
knockknock
Same room as the toilet - far back, right side. Check the wall tiles.
iancarry
seems like its all in the overhang
firepoopthrower
Mirror confirms it, cool!
apeshigh
Left
knockknock
If you look at the roof line above the bed, I think it's lower on the right of the picture - bed is on left of bus I think?
knockknock
Shower roof line slopes down on left side of picture - right side of bus?
Acronymicon
That’s nice I just can’t stand up straight in a bus without hitting my head. Everyone thinks it’s so awesome being tall but don’t think/1
HorseBoxGuy
How tall are you?
Acronymicon
Too
HorseBoxGuy
More than 2m?
Acronymicon
Yes I’m taller than the inside of a bus. Maybe the same height as the center on some buses but everywhere else is a head scraper
HorseBoxGuy
Well if you’re 6’11” then ANY camper/RV/car is going to cause you problems. Not exclusively buses.
Acronymicon
About how everything is made for short people (in contrast) Public transportation, toilet and sink heights, countertops, everything is/2
Acronymicon
Too low to use without looking like a giraffe straddling down to drink at the waterhole
HorseBoxGuy
Sink heights and counter tops??? Haha Science isn’t a strong point of yours is it?
Acronymicon
Pedestal or wall mounted sinks can exist separately from counters. You’re trying really hard to make a point that is wrong
HorseBoxGuy
Haha, you got anyone there with you? Stand up together and tell me if your hands are at the same height...
HorseBoxGuy
Spoiler alert... they are.
HorseBoxGuy
Acronymicon
Yeah, before floor, ceiling, insulation. Sorry but I won’t fit. Not in a school bus anyway. Is there a picture of the owner after standing?
HorseBoxGuy
Yes, there is.
HorseBoxGuy
Acronymicon
No way he stands in the shower straight up
HorseBoxGuy
Yes, he does.
HorseBoxGuy
Well...
Acronymicon
So there’s no finish on the floor and no finish on the ceiling and his head already touches.
