See this?
It is the bus we wanted to buy last year which did not work out. The owner was understanding but I told him to not give up on us. His bus was our perfect bus. Every bus I have seen (except for an amazing already converted bus we tried to get a couple months ago but went to someone else) I have compared to this one.
A few month ago, after the holidays, I e-mailed him to see if it was still available and he said that it was. We continued to save up our money. The add expired and he did not put it back up. He went on vacation for two months and when he returned he said to make an offer and we could probably work something out. Well, on Saturday we did. And about an hour later, he accepted our offer. Of course, it is New Brunswick, so I will have to take a train and drive it back. Insurance is already on it and starting next week when I plan to go, so barring extreme circumstances…
It is ours!!
Here are the specs for those interested or know about this type of thing 🙂
1992 All American/All Canadian,
8.3 Cummins diesel automatic 298000 km.
Air brakes. Single rear axle, tinted side windows, air conditioning, basement storages,
#5 towing rig 7 and 4 hook-up wire, trailer brake leaver by steering ,
air seat suspension.
It was a military vehicle until it was sold at Auction in BC to the current owner that used it to move across Canada. He then decided to not convert it and decided to sell it. It was inspected when he moved but since then he has moved it around his property every few weeks but hasn’t driven it off the property.
We are not blind to how much work it will take to get the bus into the home we want it to be but now we can start!
That is fantastic news for you. I’m sure everyone in your family will want to be a part of the conversion project and what fun you will have. Another new and wonderful learning opportunity. I’m so glad it has worked out for you.
yes, It will be an amazing learning opportunity for all of us! I can’t wait to have it at home now…
we have always talked of doing something like this!! And, wowee!! What a fantastic bus, looking forward to seeing what and how you do it up. Oh congrats! X
((Ahh, last comment disappeared!!)) we have always talked of doing something like this, and wowee!! does that bus look fantastic! Many years of fun, adventure and great blessings in it x
Thank you… no, it had not disappeared but was just waiting for approval 😉 Thank you so much!
Or maybe it didn’t :-p !
Congratulations! This is so exciting for you!

I am so terrified of bringing it back home! I mean… it is a 40 ft BUS! At least I will be learning how to drive it in New Brunswick where there are good and long highways with nothing around…. Once I get home though… backing into our driveway will be another story!
Ohmygosh, I’m SO excited for your family!! Please keep us updated on the conversion with lots (and LOTS) of photos. )
Oh I will… I will be documenting everything… 🙂
Yay!!!!! So completely excited for you and the family!!
How exciting!!!! Owning/living in a bus is in our 5 year plan!
That’s fantastic news! Congratulations!
Wonderful news! Let the adventures begin!!!!!
