After purchasing a used shuttle or mini bus for sale you will find the lifestyle affordable and the bus to be easy to customize. Ask the dealership to remove the seats and deliver it empty to your home location if practical. Inside the passenger cabin will have roughly 180 - 250 square feet of available floor space. Start by going online and searching for bus conversion tips on Google. It will offer a number of articles and videos on how to transform a minibus into living quarters. People prefer to DIY with both new and recycled materials to save costs. However, if you are a busy professional then outsourcing this task to a skilled handyman or a carpenter will be a better choice. The total cost of conversion can be as little as $1,000 or high as $50,000. For most it is better to start with a basic, minimal and simple conversion because this is probably a first-time experience and you should not overspend. At some point in the future every owner will either trade up or further enhance their vehicle. If you perform overly extensive modifications on the bus then it will unnecessarily increase the overall cost of ownership at the time of resale. If a buyer does not appreciate the expensive interiors then he or she will definitely not like the high price tag either. Every person has different tastes and chances are that a new buyer may not like your design and or expensive amenities installed in the bus, thus making the resale process more difficult than necessary. Thus keeping the conversion simple and basic is a successful strategy to pursue.

What goes inside the empty bus completely depends on the owners lifestyle and what they need for comfortable living and traveling. Dual air conditioners and heating systems come pre-installed in used minibuses. They have large tinted windows giving full view of the outside world when in transit and securing the occupants privacy at the same time. Most couples would like to install a double bed, the cook would like to have a practical kitchen with a wash basin, microwave, storage cabinets. Buyers also like to have a table, chairs, a couch and both would like to have more compartments to fit in their personal belongings including sporting items and camping accessories. Often water tanks are desirable for storing clean drinking water and grey water. The tanks should be big enough to last several days otherwise the owners will find themselves frequently searching for places to dispose of waste water and public water hoses for refilling. That could be a waste of time if camping along the countryside over long distances. Of course, regular campsites have no shortage of sanitary facilities.

Once the project is completed, living in the bus will be just like living in a small apartment with the exception that the outdoors will be at your doorstep. The fact is people who live the RV life often don't bathe for several days and use the restroom facilities at Walmart, shopping malls and truck stops. Many truck stops also have shower facilities available for a small fee. RV enthusiasts in the USA rarely encounter difficulties finding a public restroom, they are available almost everywhere. But in the event public facilities are not available, then they don't hesitate to create a small room with walls on three sides inside the bus or use the great outdoors for refreshing themselves. However those wishing to be more elegant and stylish can opt to buy a larger 24 seat bus for sale and modify it into a living apartment. The additional space will give them more room to add a restroom at the rear end of the vehicle, eliminating the need for bathing in the open in remote and distant locations.

Climate control is an absolute essential when living on wheels. The temperatures can swing to the extremes during the days and nights. Becoming sick on a long camping journey is not a good experience. It's a serious distraction from enjoying the thrills of experiencing new and distant locations. Individuals and families who travel in vans, trucks and school buses have to get their vehicle insulated for both extremes of hot and cold weather. However those who chose to live and travel in a minibus don't need to worry about climate control because their motor coach has pre installed air conditioning and heating systems front and rear for the warmer and colder weather, thus giving them a good night's sleep and a great driving experience during their travels. Caution must be exercised to not leave the engine running for long periods of time, so auxiliary climate control units may be in the cards for some people.
