2011 Chevy 4500 Shuttle Bus Conversion
This is a 2011 Chevrolet 4500 Series Shuttle Bus Partial Conversion. It was manufactured as a commercial transit bus, and has a great 6.0 liter Vortec engine, which runs on gas fuel. It averages approx. 11 m.p.g. With the original 137,000 miles, it has many years left on it to travel and explore! It has a 6 speed automatic transmission with overdrive, and cruise control. Six new tires with powder coated rims, new front shocks. Good title, registered as a RV.
This is considered a mid-sized bus, with a total overall exterior length of 26′, width of 8′ and height of 9’7″. The interior living space measures a length of 19′, the inside height is 6 ‘2″, the inside width is 8′.
Our bus has 4 swing out windows. All windows also have a 6”x6” slider for ventilation. When windows are open, there is an incredible flow of air throughout the bus.
It has an operable ceiling escape hatch, which also increases air flow when open.
This bus comfortably sleeps four people. We have a queen size bed in the rear of the bus, with plenty of storage underneath. The dining room table converts to a bed, and has 2 storage areas with ample space inside the benches. Kitchen benches will need cushions, of your choice. The kitchen has attractive Aspen green cabinets built in for storage, with a white sink and black faucet with pull out feature. Lovely gray/blue barn wood accents walls and partitions in the bathroom and kitchen areas.
The floors are insulated, with beautiful gray vinyl flooring throughout. The bus has ample storage above the cockpit, along with storage in the closet where the tankless water heater is stored. There is more space available in the bus that can be converted into storage, if desired.
This bus has a 55 gal. fresh water tank and also 2~ 20 gal. gray water tanks. The tankless water heater is in the closet by the bed, and supplies hot and cold water for both the shower and sink. We’ve installed a new compost toilet in a separate, private bathroom in the rear of the bus, across from the queen sized bed. We love this feature! The bus also has a pocket door in the bathroom for privacy.
The indoor shower is separate from the compost toilet and is also conveniently situated right across from the queen bed, in the mid section of the bus.
We’ve included a new Champion 4250-3500 watt generator/ inverter for the bus. It’s stored under the bed, and can easily be taken outside for use. It runs very quietly, without disturbing neighbors in the campsite. While driving, the bus has front and rear working ac/heat. We’ve also installed 30 amp breakers on the back bathroom wall, for power with 30 amp shore power. It also has 3 ~110 volt outlets conveniently located throughout the bus, to plug in your coffee pot, etc.
We’ve also installed a new 9,000 BTU mini split/heat pump to supply heat and A/C while camping. Can be used with 30 amp shore power, or the Champion generator/inverter. The bus has front and rear heat and A/C and it works well while traveling.
We’ve listed our bus as a partial conversion, as it needs minor finishing touches such as drawer locks and handles, finishing curtains, cushions for kitchen bench seats.
We have reduced the price of our bus because of health issues.
