(Full Library of photos from the building process and the completed build: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JwkOF0yzRXbA0LSwaa-h288FvC168Ply?usp=sharing) The bus was originally a military shuttle that we bought in 2020 because of no rust, relatively low mileage, and a great service record. We gutted and converted it to a tiny home well-insulated and built for skiing in the winter, mountain campsites, beaches, and all the points in between. Interior Overview: Beginning in the bedroom at the back of the bus, there is a full/double memory foam bed that has a wine cork headboard and an above-bed shelf with space for phones, watches, water bottles, and a 120v outlet with two USB ports. There is a storage drawer at the foot of the bed for easy access to clothes. Next to the bed is a 40” wide closed with hanging storage, a large sliding drawer, and a small drawer. The lowest drawer in the closet is a laundry box that doubles as a step into bed. The bathroom is outfitted with a Nature's Head composting toiled, a custom wood floor mat to hold the toilet in place, water-efficient shower head, and baskets for toiletries. The kitchen includes a large and energy-efficient Isotherm Cruise 165 refrigerator, a Furrion 21" propane oven with a three-burner range. A beautiful, large sink with brass faucet, a four-stage water filter for drinking water, and soap dispenser. There is a drawer under the stove for pots and pans and other kitchen items, and three over-head cabinets for plates, bowls, cutlery, and everything you might need. Across from the kitchen, a comfortable 60" bench with a swivel butcher's block table provides comfortable space for eating, working, and chilling. Tech & House Systems: The house electrical system runs on solar, shore power, and/or charging from the engine. The heart of the system are two 200Ah AIMS LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) batteries, providing a total of 400Ah of storage, enough to run the house for 3-5 days off-grid with no sun and no external charging (depending on how much power you're using). With sun, the house can run indefinitely. Two top-of-the-line REC Alpha 365-watt solar panels on the roof will provide plenty of electricity. A Victron Smart Solar Charger charges the batteries from solar, a Victron 2000w inverter converts solar power to 120V and handles incoming shore power when plugged in. A Victron DC-DC charger charges the batteries from the engine's alternator when the bus is running. The house is outfitted with 120V outlets, a Victron battery monitor, and a fuse box for all 12V and 120V electrical components. Heating is from a Propex HS2000 propane heater that can be connected to the house propane tank located in a locker on the side of the bus, or connected to a secondary propane tank. Storage: Above the cabin is a large "bubble" for general storage, a second smaller cabinet where the bus's fuse box is, with even more storage. Under the bench is a space for shoe storage. Under the bed is a cubby with a shelf in it that can be used to store clothes, or whatever else is needed. In the back of the bus, under the bed is the "garage." The garage has two long-cabinets that were designed to hold two pairs of skis/snowboards each. There are a few small cubby's boxes that can be used for storage. Also in the garage is the 40-gallon water tank, water pump and accumulator, and the 120V 4-gallon water heater. We bought the bus at ~117k miles because Duramax engines are known for lasting 300k miles. Final note: The driver's seat does not slide back as far as a standard car seat so I would not recommended for drivers over 6 feet tall. The seat goes forward, so if you’re shorter you will have no problem. (The height of the ceiling in the bus is probably a little over 6 feet). I am 5'9' and can drive comfortably, and the  bathroom is also just about 5'9' tall standing on the "floor mat" that holds the toilet in place.
