I’m realizing now as I type this that I never came up with a name for our rig, and now sadly, we won’t be able to.  The good news is, now YOU get to name it whatever you want, because…

🎉 🎉 We’re selling the bus! 🎉 🎉

We’ve been the exclusive owners of this beautiful work of love for its 5 years of existence (as an RV anyway), and it’s time to share the experience and pass it on to another caring person, couple, or family.  This really is perfect for anyone looking to start a part-time or full-time #buslife without the months of stress of building one out yourself… if we did it again, we’d DEFINITELY look for something like this first rather than starting from scratch 🙂

(If you’ve been following us for some time and are interested in why we’re selling the bus, head to our instagram @familyonabus where we’ll be posting a video about it soon.  Short story: we found our long-term home, and we just don’t need it anymore 🙁  )

This bus is located in Hood River, Oregon – and it is able to drive anywhere you live!

Buying The Bus

Our asking price for this bus: $39,000 $35,000. And yes, we are willing to negotiate with you during the process.

We would love for you to email us first with some questions and tell us your story! After that, we’ll invite you to do a video walkthrough with us where you can ask us more questions and see everything up close before making a trip out here, and if that goes well then we can arrange to meet with you in person in Hood River, OR so you can see the bus for yourself. If everything goes well, then we will negotiate and go through with the sale, and you’ll own a fantastic 40ft converted transit bus you can call home – or home away from home 🙂
