Beautifully Updated Wonderlust Bus

39 feet is a great length to fit a lifetime of Wonderlust, which is exactly what you can do with this beautiful school bus conversion tiny house on wheels. Currently parked in Sevierville, Tennessee (birthplace of Dolly Parton!) the Thomas Built bus with a 5.9 Diesel Cummins engine, is looking for a few more miles on the great open roads of America. You have to hurry though as this affordable live/travel option won’t be available long.



The skoolie is painted white with touches of wood including the strip that runs down the side panel and the stack built onto the bus to offer more headroom (6.1 ft.) in the shower area. Entry is through a traditional 10-pane glass front door and opens right into the cockpit area. Although not hugely transformed, the cockpit does provide a great place to drive this spacious vehicle.

Including a bedroom at the rear of the bus, a bathroom, side bunks, and a living area, the THOW features hardwood floors throughout and a salvage wood ceiling. The main area just behind the captain’s chair offers a tremendous amount of space to spread out and watch the wall-mounted flat-screen television. Just beyond it is the kitchen with base cabinets and drawers, a butcher block countertop, and an under-mounted sink. There is also a small fridge and plenty of electrical outlets. Across from the kitchen workspace is a table that easily fits 3 but could pull out to fit more. While the original bus windows do remain, the interior walls are comprised of pine tongue & groove and are all insulated with 2” pink foam board.

Beyond the kitchen and living area is the bathroom, which allows for a 32” x 32” shower pan as well as a composting toilet. The vent for such a commode has already been cut and is properly plumbed. Across from the commode area is a set of bunks that are perfect for two children or guests met along the road. They are amply sized and create lovely nooks for sleeping and relaxing in private.

The rear of the bus features the large, lofted bed, which conceals a 300-gallon water tank and open storage. To add more comfort to the Wonderlust Bus, there is a 119 seer, 115V, Pioneer Mini-Split mounted on the rear of the bus. Powered either by solar or the 30amp shore power system, the bus offers comfort while also allowing you to go off-grid for a number of days. In fact, the bus features:
(4) 200-watt solar panels
(4) 100 amp hour batteries
An 80 amp charge control
3,000 pure sine inverter
A 6000-watt surge power cap

There is also a 1.6 GPM LP hot water heater on board to keep the shower comfortable and the dish sink warm!

The tires on the Wonderlust Bus are new and the air brakes are in great condition. The bus has a 60-gallon diesel tank and gets a decent 10mpg. It currently has 213,000 miles on it.
