2003 International 3800 T444E 7.3 Navistar
We have landed in Vermont and have decided to put down roots! Rather than have our amazing bus-home sit in the driveway, its time to let it go to a new adventure hungry family!
This is a 36′ International T444E Navistar 7.3 diesel, dog nose with blue bird body.
This bus has been fully gutted, and built from the steel up.
Floor was cleaned, primed, framed and insulated with polyiso foam board. Walls were insulated with polyiso board as well, and we used havelock real sheeps wool for the ceiling insulation to avoid issues with moisture.
The bus features an amazing kitchen with full sink and pull-down sprayer faucet, butcher block countertops, rv style propane 4 burner range/oven and 120v, 10 cubic ft. apartment sized fridge/freezer.
All lighting is 12v led and the 800 watts of solar on the roof combined with a 1500w 24v pure sine wave inverter and (4) 100AH Dakota lithium batteries is more than enough to power the 120v refrigerator and all lights, fans and electronics you’ll need.
The bus is registered and insured as a motorhome.

We have most of the paperwork/manuals for each major component installed and since we built this bus ourselves we can answer any questions you may have as well as explain in great detail how everything works. This bus is in great condition but there is some rust underneath. The rust does not in any way affect the bus mechanically or the appearance. The body is in great shape and the bus has been maintained very well, with fresh fluid changes and maintenance performed as/when needed.
We spent only 9 months living in the bus after conversion, so it has a lot of years of adventure left! Please contact us to request more information or to schedule an appointment. We are happy to send more pictures of other areas of the bus not shown here. We are also including many extra parts and accessories that will help you get started and make life on the road a little easier.
