1999 Collins Chevy Grand Bantam Complete Short Bus

Seller's Description

Available is this newly finished beautiful casita on wheels. A 1999 Chevy short school bus has been painstakingly transformed on the inside to a cozy wood, leather, and ceramic -appointed cabin with premium materials and features. Featured is the micro wood-burning stove with proper heat sheilding, leather-upholstered bench seat reading nook/dinette, Redwood slab table, hand-painted talavera tiles and vintage green cast iron sink. All woodwork is custom-fitted in a combination of solid birch and birch plywood, finished in an all-natural beeswax and linseed oil. Custom cabinetry and clever use of hidden space maximize storage with overhead cabinets, hidden dresser drawers and closet, and even more hidden secret security nooks and cubbies. Ceiling and flooring are done in cork, prized for its insulation properties. Behind all walls is raw sheep’s wool insulation batting. The bed area fits a queen mattress, not included. An included brand-new, never-used composting “Air Head” brand toilet makes this truly a home away from home. No chemicals or stink to deal with. 700+ Watts of solar provide the brand new 315 amp-hour 12-volt lithium battery and 2000 Watt pure sine inverter/charger enough power for tiny house living. Lights and power sources abound throughout the living area, with both dedicated USB-A and USB-C outlets and 120-volt house power for laptops and kitchen appliances. Included is an induction single burner cooktop and under-sink outlets and pull-out shelf for a small instant pot and/or rice cooker, not included. A Dometic fridge/freezer and Yeti cooler combine to make a low-energy freezer/cooler setup for plenty of yummy frozen foods and fresh, cool fruits and vegetables. The Yeti is plumbed for easy draining of meltwater. Water comes from a 25-gallon fresh water tank under the bed and collects in a 45-gallon grey water tank. Additional 5-gallon jugs for drinking water fit under the stove with an upright powered dispenser, included. The vehicle itself is in great shape and ready to travel. Brand new batteries, brand new tires with less than 1k miles, a remanufactured transmission with less than 5k miles, oil change, clean bill of health and a 21-point safety check by Triton Truck Repair says this casita is ready for the open road. With an interior that contends with the best builds you’ve seen and an exterior that stays simple and humble, this home on wheels is ready for renegade street living in the city or a year-long sabbatical visiting national parks across the country. It’s up to you how you’ll live it. Come see it at an open house. The first is scheduled for Sunday, May 18th. More details will be provided to those who reach out. Thanks for looking!
