Inside the Bus Conversion: Chris showcases his beautifully converted raised-roof school bus, designed to feel like an apartment on wheels. Learn how he incorporated vintage touches, such as a 1950s camper stove, a 24V fridge for efficiency, and a massive sink that saves water. The bus’s sleek stainless-steel accents give the kitchen a modern look, while a set of vintage maps on the ceiling adds unique character.
Living Off the Grid: Chris and his partner, Linnea, share their off-grid lifestyle on their remote property. Discover how they manage power needs with solar panels and an auxiliary power source, and how they made water access a priority by drilling a well. Chris also discusses the importance of designing an energy-efficient electrical system, including his use of a 5000W inverter, solar panels, and lithium batteries, making the bus self-sufficient for long periods off the grid.
