About

This is the text you need to work on: Three years ago, we imported our BlueBird Ford American School Bus from Florida, determined to turn our dream of a home on wheels into reality. After a year of hard work, we succeeded in creating a beautiful camper with a cozy, homely feel, where comfort and quality go hand in hand. This is a place where you immediately feel at home, offering the space to live full-time and completely unwind.

Traveling in this school bus offers the most unique Vanlife experience you can imagine. The bus draws enthusiastic reactions wherever you go, and the adventurous places you can reach are breathtaking. The people you meet along the way make every journey unforgettable. It is an absolute pleasure to travel in this bus, which also offers the possibility to live completely off-grid!

After two years of full-time travel, we have gained the most amazing experiences. The first year, we traveled from the Netherlands through France, Spain, and Portugal to Southern Morocco. The second year, we embarked on an incredible route through Germany, Czechia, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Eastern Turkey, and returned via Greece, the Balkans, Italy, and France. This travel route has provided us with experiences that we could not have had in any other way.

However, our dream has grown even bigger. We want to continue our travels and explore the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Unfortunately, this bus is not suitable for such distant destinations. That’s why we are offering our bus for sale so that you, too, can enjoy this unique experience!

Are you genuinely interested or have any questions? Please feel free to contact us!
Note: We have documented every step of the bus build so we are able to provide you with very detailed pictures of the entire proces.

About the Bus:
Upon entering, you’ll find storage cabinets on either side of the stairs. As you pass the driver's seat, you enter the living area. Here, there is a large sofa (200 cm long) that can be extended into a guest bed (2m by 1.6m) and can be folded up for additional storage. On the opposite side, there is a spacious desk (175 cm long) with a fixed monitor and storage space.

The L-shaped kitchen is equipped with practical cabinetry, a large sink, a gas stove with a double oven, and a full-sized refrigerator with a separate freezer. Additional storage cabinets are placed above the kitchen.

Behind the kitchen is the bathroom, complete with a spacious shower, compost toilet, and a sink with a faucet and ample storage space underneath. The bathroom can be closed off with a sliding door.

At the back of the bus is the bedroom, featuring a large wardrobe and a bed measuring 220 by 180 cm that can be lifted for extra storage space. Through the back door (formerly the emergency exit), you have access to the garage, where the electrical system is easily accessible, and there is plenty of room for additional storage, including space for a bicycle.

A fixed ladder provides access to the rooftop terrace, which can also be used for extra storage.
