<h4>Waldmire Road Yacht</h4>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Converted-Buses-Road-Yacht.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-61014" alt="Converted Buses Road Yacht" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Converted-Buses-Road-Yacht.jpg" width="500" height="333"></a></p>
<p>This amazing half-wooden contraption is a converted school bus known as the &lsquo;<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43830008@N05/8804896370/">Waldmire Road Yacht</a>,&rsquo; built by Rob Waldmire, who traveled in his handcrafted creation for decades along Route 66. It&rsquo;s now part of the Route 66 Hall of Fame Museum in Pontiac, Illinois.</p>
<h4>Run-Down City Bus Converted to DIY RV</h4>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Converted-Buses-City-Israel-1.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-61025" alt="Converted Buses City Israel 1" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Converted-Buses-City-Israel-1.jpg" width="468" height="547"></a></p>

<p>This city bus seemed beyond saving when two Israeli women initially found it, but they saw the bones of their own<a href="http://dornob.com/run-down-city-bus-converted-to-chic-custom-diy-rv/#axzz2iGm6wDtO"> highly customized DIY RV</a>. The women tore out the interior and gave it a fresh, modern new look with pops of bright color.</p>
<h4>Bus to Minimal Mobile Home</h4>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Converted-Buses-Minimal-Mobile.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-61024" alt="Converted-Buses-Minimal-Mobile" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Converted-Buses-Minimal-Mobile.jpg" width="468" height="547"></a></p>

<p>Tired of just drafting imaginary buildings in studio courses, architecture student Hank Butitta decided to get his hands dirty: he bought a bus for $3,000 and <a href="https://weburbanist.com/2013/08/25/beautifully-simple-school-bus-turned-minimal-mobile-home/">completely transformed the interior,</a> spending $6,000 to improve it with an array of transforming modular features. Those include a bed system that unfolds in various ways for different sleeping configurations, lots of hidden storage, and seats withs egret flip-up and slide-out panels.</p>
<h4>School Bus Turned Home That Sleeps Ten</h4>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Converted-Buses-Solar-Power-Ten.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-61018" alt="Converted Buses Solar Power Ten" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Converted-Buses-Solar-Power-Ten.jpg" width="468" height="553"></a><br>

<p>&lsquo;I think my mom&rsquo;s reaction was, &lsquo;this isn&rsquo;t the sixties,'&rdquo; says co-owner Rachel <a href="http://faircompanies.com/videos/view/school-bus-becomesf-grid-transformable-tiny-home/">of the bus she converted with her partner Richard.</a> It may not be conventional, but this living situation allows them to go wherever they please. Buying a school bus cheap gave them a blank canvas, and they designed every detail of their new home &ndash; which has transforming beds to sleep up to ten.</p>
