School bus becomes RV

Saw this site, thought some of you might be interested to look at it



School Bus
  • I'm shocked they were able to buy it still that colour. In Ontario at least they can only be that when used for their intended purpose.
  • In the 70's, a friend bought a bread truck and made a camper for their family of 5. He did an outstanding job.
  • pretty cool actually. looks a lot better than quite a few of the converted ones I've seen.

    enjoy your trip, I wish I would have done something like that when I was younger.
  • Great album of photos and it's cool to see the young folks actually building something.
  • When I was a kid we converted a 1956 chevy school bus. Used it for several years and pulled a old 19 ft Chris Craft.
  • There are a ton of sites dedicated to bus conversions(skoolies). I have sat for hours browsing them. Some of them are really amazing and some are....well lets just say not so amazing. They are cool though.
  • Reminds me of the 'House Car' my dad built in 1958.

    It was late 40's city bus, powered by a 100 HP Ford Flathead.

    We took it from Pennsylvania to Kansas and back in the summer of 59.

    Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures.

    Thanks for sharing.
