Seller's Description

Originally purchased from the School District of Kelowna, this bus was meticulously maintained until I bought it last year. Since then, I’ve completed a full professional-grade conversion—doing all the work myself, including insulation, electrical, plumbing, and carpentry. It’s a 2004 Freightliner Thomas School bus with CAT C7 Diesel engine couple with Allison transmission (if you did your research you know it’s reliable) I would not have invested so much without making sure. It is air brakes, they work great, no air leaks. Starts and runs well 305000km which is about half its lifespan with proper maintenance. I’ve traveled with this bus for 9 months, and now it’s time to return to Europe—so it’s ready for its next adventure. It would also be a great option for an Airbnb or to park on your land to live in. ⸻ Key Features: Electrical & Power (Fully Off-Grid Ready): • 2x 230AH Lithium batteries • 2000W inverter • 2x 200W solar panels • Victron shore power battery charger • Renogy MPPT solar charge controller • 3 charging options: alternator (while driving), solar, or shore power • 12V and 110V outlets • Dimmer-controlled LED lighting • On-demand propane hot water shower • Full-size kitchen sink • 12V fridge & freezer • Dickinson wood stove • 8KW diesel heater • Floor to ceiling height is 5’11 • Most of the wood inside is red cedar, very mold resistant and a good insulation. • the bus is fully insulated and Vapor barrier has been installed everywhere except for the windows to prevent moisture to get into the walls or anywhere in general. I have put a lot of attention to make this bus livable and comfortable to live in and not just photogenic for instagram. It is very well designed inside and feels like small cabin. I have a fully detailed video tour of the bus to share if you are interested to see more. Or come see it in person if you are serious about it.
