FOR SALE: Gus the Adventure Bus – Custom Off-Grid Class C RV Studio Apartment on Wheels

Meet Gus the Adventure Bus — a one-of-a-kind, off-grid-ready Class C RV with the soul of an artist and the heart of a workhorse. Originally a Champion Shuttle Bus serving Denver, Gus was reborn in 2021 when we transformed this Ford F550 into a fully functional, solar-powered studio apartment on wheels.

Unlike most factory-made RVs built with rigid, unchangeable components, Gus was intentionally designed to be flexible and customizable. Built like a studio loft on wheels, you can easily adapt and upgrade nearly every component to suit your needs — or simply enjoy the incredible setup that’s already in place.
