CABIN FEVER BUS

Frequently Asked Questions

We get a lot of questions about how we built our bus, what it was like living in it, what we are doing now... so here are some answers to some of the most commonly asked questions!

Q. Does the top of the bus go up and down?

A. It is amazing how many times we get asked this question! No, it does not go up and down, but that would be so cool if it did!

Q. Did you convert the bus yourself?

A. Yes, we converted the bus by ourselves. It was a standard school bus when we bought it and it turned into a crazy cabin looking bus! If we didn't know how to do something we looked it up in books and figured it out as we went along! It has a lot of reclaimed materials in it, and feels like our family’s character and personality is part of it too!

Q. How long did it take to convert the bus?

A. We slowly converted the bus as time allowed and as we saved up money for materials. It took 2 years and 4 months from buying the bus to when we hit the road.

Q. Are you currently travelling in your bus?

A. No. We had troubles getting road insurance for it, so it has been given a new life as a home for another young family as they build their off-grid homestead in PEI!

Q. What is your favorite part about the bus?

A. I think the best part of the bus is what it allowed our family to do. We were able to change our way of life, explore and move to another part of Canada, and realize how to take life slower and try to enjoy every moment. Even though we are not living in the bus currently, it was a stepping stone to a whole new perspective on life.
