CLEAN TITLE
Runs great. Tires and breaks are great. This was a church school bus and very well maintained. See photo for more information.
This is an awesome in-the-works fun project. Make it your own.
It is located in Belleair Florida, near Saint Petersburg.
I used structural Simpson Strong Arm Ties to mount everything in it. Most everything is solid wood. So it would be very easy to rearrange or modify to suit your style.
It’s not finished. The wall around the AC is not done. Needs a good sanding, staining and seal. And a good cleaning inside and out.
I had to build this bus at the beginning of the pandemic when I lost my home. With a crippled hand that I shattered my wrist the year before. I’ve been living in it for 5 1/2 years. Now I’ve lost more work and can’t afford to keep it all anymore. I sold my trailer and a friend is selling my motorcycle.
See my other post for pictures with it decorated.
This “camper” is very cozy and has a layout that makes great use of the interior space.
Smoke free and so cute!

Most campgrounds won’t let you wash your rig. So my bus really need a good cleaning.
