A couple has renovated the bus, creating a space for six people and realizing numerous dreams.
John, with an eye for design and craftsmanship skills, led the transformation of the bus.
The living room, complete with a corner sofa and hidden compartments, also serves as a sleeping area for the parents with a cleverly designed pull-out bed.
The family’s electrical system is a masterpiece of modern technology.
Under the sofa in the living room, a Victron charge controller, a 3000-watt inverter, and two 200-ampere batteries are hidden.
This powerful system can power an air conditioner all night and still has enough energy for breakfast.
Perfect for a family that loves the freedom of off-grid living.
The bus also takes into account practical aspects of life on the move.
A sliding door separates the living area from the „throne room“ with a Nature’s Head composting toilet.
In the front, the driver’s area is designed so the family can stay close.
Two original bus seats, now equipped with seat belts, provide a safe place for the children, while a swivel passenger seat offers AJ a comfortable position.
The family’s culinary needs are met by a standard-sized refrigerator and a kitchen that would envy any avid cook.
Open shelves display spice jars and cereals, many of which were grown on the family farm.
An induction cooktop and an Airfryer replace a traditional stove, reflecting the family’s preference for electric appliances.
The sink even has a light that changes color based on the water temperature, adding a playful touch to the practical space.
The family’s sustainability is reflected in their choices.
They opted for an eco filter instead of the more popular Berkey water system.
The filtration unit is proudly positioned on the kitchen counter and purifies every drop of water consumed by the family.
The decision to live on the bus was not impulsive.
Eight years ago, they had already considered this option but decided to stay on their farm to provide their children with a stable environment.
Now that their children are a bit older and more adaptable, it seemed like the right time.
The bus was purchased last December, and after selling their house, John completed the transformation in just four months.
Space optimization continues in the bathroom and sleeping areas.
The bathroom has a small sink next to the shower, allowing multitasking.
Each family member has a personal drawer for their belongings, and the children enthusiastically embraced their individual bunk beds.
The sleeping accommodations are far from the previous arrangement, a common family bed on their farm.
The exterior of the bus is as functional as the interior.
It can hold 125 gallons of fresh water and 75 gallons of wastewater, in addition to two propane tanks for outdoor cooking.
Security cameras provide an additional level of safety and give the family a sense of peace as they explore new areas.
For AJ and John, there is the possibility of building another bus or even offering custom buses to others.
The bus is not just a home for them but a lifestyle that embodies the family motto – to be „wild“: uncontrollable, always adaptable, and constantly evolving.
