GOOD NEWS BUS CONVERSION

Update: The following is our first bus conversion that we completed in 2010. We have since completed a new bus conversion. You can find the entire process of that conversion on YouTube . Welcome to the first post from the Good News Bus blog. From here you can see the transformation from school bus to RV. Please feel free to comment. We always enjoy hearing feedback. This is our project. A 1995 International Flat Nose Genesis School Bus with an Amtran Body. It is powered by an International 7.6-liter DT466 Turbo Diesel Engine and has a 4-Speed Allison Transmission. This is an International stock photo for the DT466. I wish ours was this pretty. It only has 110,000 miles on it so it should have a lot of life left. We will be doing a complete change of the interior and exterior. The bus will also be outfitted with full living quarters, kitchen, bathroom. We may end up using this as a tour bus for ou...

Bus Conversion Day 1 - Seat Removal

Today was the first step in our project. Our job today was to remove all the seating in the bus. We really didn't know what to expect. I had helped remove seats in another bus once before and it was really easy. This time it was a little more difficult. I had read a lot online of how others have done this. Most the articles I read showed people using a grinder to cut out the bolts that held the seats down. This looked like a messy, dirty and unhealthy job. I chose to use an Impact wrench and a standard wrench. One person was inside the bus with the impact wrench while the other was under the bus. We needed a 1/2 socket and wrench to do the job. The person under the bus held the bolt in place while the other used the impact wrench to unscrew the bolt. This was the most time consuming part. We focused only on the bolts on each side of the isle first. After all the bolts were out (took about 5 hours) I then focused on removing all the bolts that attach...

- July 31, 2016

Okay...so you stopped by our bus conversion blog because you want to know more about the crazy family of 10, well 11 now, that live in their second converted school bus. Or maybe you have read about us in a recent publication and it sparked your curiosity and you want to know more. Or possibly you are in the midst of a bus conversion yourself and you need some inspiration or help. If any of those previous statements apply to you then you are at the right place. If not, maybe something has disrupted the space time continuum and brought you here. If that is the case then its your destiny to be here as well. Our family was in this GH August 2016 Edition We hope that as you read through our posts, see our bus conversions, meet our family and view our videos that you will be inspired as well as entertained. To really enjoy the full experience though, you need some background on us. Our first Bus Life with 9 episode premeire...

Day 32 - Bunk Beds | School Bus Conversion

- June 18, 2009

The first thing we did today was go to Lowe's and get more building supplies. The main things we purchased were. Top plate material. (We ran out) Furring Strips (To support the plywood on the bunks) Screws (Getting real low) More 1/8" drill bits A 12' x 3' roll of carpet (This will go under the bottom bunks in the storage area) Electrical outlet boxes. I really encourage anyone building a house or a bus to buy deals when you find them even if you are not going to use the item right away. Always look in the clearance sections. We found the roll of carpet sitting in the carpet clearance section where they put carpet that are miss cuts and returns. The price on it was already marked down to $18 for the roll. We offered them $6 and they said; "It's yours." The other day we were at Lowe's and they had a box of returned special order granite tile. The real stuff. Normal price was $45 for a box of 5 12x12 tiles. We got the box for $5. A...
