How to Renovate a School Bus into a Tiny House / RV. Today on Modern Builds I'm starting my biggest DIY project to date. I'm turning a vintage SCHOOL BUS into a mobile TINY HOUSE on wheels!! This bus build will be a six part series, with each episode focusing on the buildout of an individual room (bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room, & exterior). I'm calling this first episode the "clean slate" episode to get the bus ready for the episodes to come; I tackle the demo, design, interior paint, framing, basic electrical, and plumbing rough ins. It's a lot, but I've done my best to keep all the information as clear as possible. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more bus conversion goodness. (materials and supplies linked below)
