School bus to mobile home conversions

Overview

Individual projects involving the conversion of school buses into mobile living spaces have been documented in France and Argentina.

In France, a couple converted a 2003 Blue Bird bus into a 30-square-meter tiny house designed for off-grid use. The project involved raising the roof and installing a wood-burning stove to accommodate a family of five.

In Argentina, a mechanic transformed a 2007 Mercedes-Benz bus into an autonomous motorhome named ‘El Rutero’. This conversion focused on solar power for electricity and hot water, and included the installation of a Starlink antenna for connectivity.
