VINTAGE TRANSIT BUS CONVERSION COST – PART 1
Financially speaking, we couldn’t afford this dream, but with some creative thinking and universal support, we managed to trade for the bus and find a way to get it back to the east coast. In our video below, we go over the cost breakdown from finding the bus to getting it to the location that we’ll be building it into a tiny home.
Over 8 months, we spent $4,900 total, which is less than the value of the bus in the condition we found it in. We’ll be covering the cost of each step of the build as we go, so stay tuned!
