We’ve spent £40k converting an old school bus into a home for our family-of-7 – it’s still cheaper than a house A FAMILY-OF-7 who travel across the US full time in a converted school bus have revealed how surprisingly cheap it was to build.
Unlike regular bus roof raises, which Jeff says are usually done in the initial conversion period, the family's extension was to be added in a second conversion.
And after living happily in the bus for years, the family decided they needed more space - and set about adding a second story.
Husband and father Jeff has "no professional experience in construction" under his belt, but managed to transform the old bus into their dream home for just £40,000.
Although the patriarch of the family admits driving the vehicle can be "challenging", he says he's now adjusted to it - and he uses an "RV-specific" GPS app to plan travel routes.
