Build Story:
Originally used to transport federal agents, this bus was transformed into a tiny home by Jesse and his family. They lived in it full-time in Indiana with their two children for 18 months. Every system was built with intention: from off-grid energy and composting sanitation to family-friendly sleeping and comfort. It’s road-tested, fully functional, and ready for its next chapter.
