As you enter, there is a custom-made couch that easily sits 3 people. This couch pulls out into a bed to accommodate guests or children. Opposite the couch is a convertible coffee table/ bar and custom stools that allow several people to sit around the coffee table to enjoy games or snacks together. All of the original windows in this section of the bus have been retained, which provides a panoramic view from the living area. Transom LED lighting washes up the white ceiling panels to bring the daylight in. During night time, warm LED lighting provides coziness.
In the kitchen area, there is plenty of counter space for meal prep and other activities. On the right is a clothes washer/dryer combo unit and sink. On the left is a Dometic electric/propane refrigerator with plenty of space for groceries, and a 3-burner RV stove and oven. Shelving, drawers, and magnetic knife storage provide plenty of room for kitchen and other miscellaneous item storage.
Continuing to the rear of the bus, on the right is a shower and sink “wet room,” (instant hot water heater provides hot water for bathroom and kitchen) and to the left is the composting toilet with urine diverter. Next to the shower is a tall closet space for hanging clothes, jackets, etc.
At the back of the bus is the bedroom, anchored by a comfortable queen-size bed with reading lights and storage spaces. Additional cabinets and drawers provide ample storage space for clothing, bedding, and other items, including a bookshelf.
Behind the bedroom, accessible from the outside, is a garage space for bike, chair, and other equipment storage. These are complimented by underbody boxes.
Solar, batteries, and 100 gallons of fresh water allows for quite a long time “off-grid” (in 2020 my wife and I worked remotely for about a week in the middle of northern California with cell service being the only issue), but standard RV hookups are available as well.
The drivetrain is fully mechanical, with the International DT466 engine and Allison MT643 automatic transmission. The engine was rebuilt in February 2017 and has about 30,000 miles on it.
My wife and I purchased this several years back from the couple that converted it. They documented the build on their Instagram, you can check that out here https://www.instagram.com/beautifulmorning.life/?hl=en

This really is a solid vehicle, and we completely enjoyed the times we were able to travel in it. However, a growing family and shifting priorities mean that it’s time to move it on to the next owner.
Serious inquiries only please.
