![]() ![]() Brad lives a nomadic lifestyle on the road and works while traveling. Brad lives on his Ford E450 short bus RV conversion on his own, so his design for the interior is slightly different from usual. This price is quite a bit less than we paid for it but since it’s not a perfect bus and we want to be transparent we’ve priced it more accurately. Brad’s ex-shuttle bus skoolie conversion. Tires have a lot of tread left on them and we just put two new truck batteries in.Ĭurrently registered in South Dakota as it is much cheaper ($100 or so) and no annual smog required. It has a heavy duty trailer hitch installed. The automatic door mechanism is broken, but it works fine manually. On the interior, one of the small sliding windows is broken and has a piece of plexiglass in it. The mechanic said he rarely sees issues with transmissions or rear-ends on these vehicles, and would expect them to last for hundreds of thousands of miles. Otherwise, the chassis appears to be in great shape. The spring is available on Amazon for $115, but it would probably be a good idea to replace both while the vehicle is jacked up or on a lift. The mechanic also noted a MORryde rubber suspension part (called a sheer spring) attached to the right rear axle that will need to be replaced (especially before loading down the bus with a lot of weight). He also checked the fuel injectors, and a couple of those have lower pressure on cold start up, but they all work after the engine warms up. The mechanic fixed a cracked hose that was resulting in low turbo boost. ![]() He suggested it’s somewhat typical on the Ford 6.0 and likely will need to be addressed in the future but could go for a long time before becoming a problem. The second mechanic did find evidence of fuel getting into the coolant. We had her checked out by a diesel mechanic before buying and again when we got her to Las Vegas. Since we haven’t had her long we can’t vouch for her maintenance record but we did do the Carfax and it looks good. Super good quality Stellar PolkAudio setup. Powerful inverter. Big screen TV and PlayStation 2 included. Comes with heavy duty 2 bike rack for front. Solar setup to meet all your gaming and charging needs. 400 watts of solar, 4 x 130 amp hour batteries for house use. She’s been a California bus her whole life so not a single speck of rust. 16’ from back of driver seat to back wall. She still gets down the highway with good speed. She’s not winning any land speed races but then she’s a big bus. Way more maneuverable than I expected since I’d never driven a big vehicle before. Lots of storage under benches and thick, well made leather cushions all around. After 21 weeks of working on the bus they paid 15,000 for and spending 15,000 on materials, appliances, tools, power systems, and extras, they finally ended up with the perfect tiny home on wheels. She is currently built out as more of a minimalist party bus with a large garage in the back. Instead, they purchased a 2007 Ford e450 shuttle bus and documented the entire conversion into a mobile home on YouTube. We have removed all of those but that means she’s not very pretty at the moment. The previous owners were part of a bike racing team so she had tons of decals and two vehicle wraps on her. So we are hoping to move her on to someone who’s a better fit. ![]() It’s also a smidge too long for where we want to do the build out. Although we just got it, we realized it’s bigger than we want for getting back into the more remote camp spots. Here’s a list of everything that comes with it:ĭual fuel champion generator, Has a 2’ deck, 42 gal freshwater tank, 32 gal greywater tank, 2 gal back-pressure tank, Weekend Sepparett compost toilet, Sliding bathroom door, Big Food pantry, 7.1 cu in Vissani fridge w/freezer, Storage/dog area under bed with window, Bed is a full but can fit a Queen, 6x 20 amp outlets (4 are gfci), 4x 15 amp outlets, 5,000btu portable ac unit (not a window unit), Has a 3’x3’ area in bathroom for either shower or storage.įeel free to shoot some offers we need gone soon.As many people do when excited to start the skoolie life, our first bus turns out to not be the right bus for us. Some other things also changed so I don’t know when we’ll be doing another build again but it was fun while it lasted :) We have another kiddo on the way and this build is just too small for us. It’s my wife, our daughter, our dog and I. ![]() Unfortunately a lot of things being shut down plus climbing gas prices didn’t help. There’s a lot this layout has to offer but my wife and I don’t want to keep putting money into a project that’s not working for us as much as we thought it would. My wife and I bought this in may of this year as a way to get out of high rent prices and travel more. I’m gonna be as straightforward with the description of our build as I can. MOTIVATED SELLER!! WE NEED GONE BY TOMORROW OR SATURDAY. ![]()
