My wife and I have been converting this school bus since August of 2020. We have lived in it full time with our 3 kids for a little over a year and a half. We have also traveled around 2000 miles in it. We’ve living in it all 4 seasons.
The bus runs and drives great. The only issue we’ve encountered is that the blinkers don’t work. I believe it’s the blinker stock on the steering wheel.
We are not currently using the solar power or the fresh water tank. We always stay in state parks or private RV parks, so even though the bus does come with a 100 gallon fresh water tank and a pump, we have never used them. We also have the shore power plug wired directly into the main breaker box for the bus. What my wife and I learned that we didn’t know while building the bus is that we would always stay in a place that had power available and there was really never a need to run the solar system. So, the basic infrastructure for solar is installed but it’s not wired into the main box.
If you would like to see the build process of the bus, check out our series @ Life Anywhere on YouTube.
We have 39 episodes of the entire build process.
