Busses that keep the original side windows are nice for light and decor but not for heating and cooling or for privacy and security. My bus has repurposed R/V windows and a R/V door. giving complete walkthrough access to the rear pullout deck and both rear doors. Is designed or used to transport more than 15 passengers, including the driver, and is not used to. The queen size bed converts into a recliner/ lounge sofa. These statutes also apply to a school bus that. It has a very comfortable dinette/sofa.The interior height is 6’5″ so I can stand easily.( I’m 6’3″).

It also has a full kitchen counter,double sink, microwave and refrigerator and normal counter top appliances. My bus has a good bathroom, toilet and shower. I must be able to shower daily and easily. THE state government has been urged to include school bus and van operators in its recovery plan for next year’s budget. It has a full wet shower with composting toilet. It’s 24’8″ bumper to bumper is just 4 foot longer than a standard P/U and makes is agile enough to drive virtually anywhere easily and has an 18,000 GVWR. My short bus (not van) was originally a 6 window bus. My bus can go all over the U.S.in any normal summer to winter weather and still be comfortable. It doesn’t matter how beautiful you decor is, if your hot and sweaty or cold and shivering.So A/C and heating is a priority. Plus the solar panels shade the roof… a definite advantage in sunny weather. My solar system (1560 watts), is more than enough to power for all my electrical uses. I like a wood stove, but space requires that I use a diesel heater (small and very efficient).My bus has a cost efficient window unit A/C, 2.8 amps (270 watts) draw under load. I’ve built and designed cabins an this is the style of decor I’m using in the bus I’m converting. The Spanish Bus was my choice of interior decor.
