VIDEO DESCRIPTION:

Join the Branca Bus as they invite you on a comprehensive tour of their lovingly renovated 1990 Bluebird bus conversion. Transforming a public transport bus into a delightful mobile home, this family showcases the fruits of their creativity and hard work.

🍳 Kitchen: The heart of their bus is a beautifully lit kitchen, thanks to the preserved original bus windows. It boasts ample counter space for both cooking and hosting. Key features include a compact fridge, a five-burner propane stove, and an expansive sink that also serves as practical storage while traveling. An 80-gallon water tank ensures water availability for several days.

🍽️ Dining Area: Adjacent to the kitchen is a quaint dining area, where they enjoy meals and coffee. This space also cleverly converts into a daybed. The table, handcrafted and painted by the family, adds a unique charm to their meals.

🛠️ Build and Costs: Though they didn't keep all receipts, Matias and Carola estimate that their entire project, including the bus purchase and conversion materials, cost around $18,000. The bus itself was a bargain at about $3,000.

🛋️ Living Room: Opposite the kitchen lies the living room, featuring a multifunctional pull-out couch that doubles as a bed for guests. The couch, constructed from recycled memory foam, is a favored spot for the family and their pets.

🚪 Driver Area and Features: The original driver's area is transformed with wooden paneling, a shoe cabinet, and the preserved original glove compartment, adding a vintage touch. The hallway sports a creatively repurposed rearview bus mirror, now serving as a full-length mirror.

🚽 Bathroom: Despite its compact size, the bathroom is fully equipped with a wall-mounted sink, composting toilet, and a spacious shower with a rainwater shower head, connected to a gray water tank.

🛏️ Master Bedroom: The rear of the bus houses a queen-size bed with ample under-bed storage. A window AC unit and a unique side door enhance comfort and ventilation.

🚪 Wood Trimming and Storage: The bus features wood accents throughout, harmonizing with the gold and orange interior theme. The bunk beds provide additional sleeping space, and the handcrafted closet offers significant storage.

🔨 DIY Journey: Tackling the bus conversion empowered them, teaching them valuable skills in plumbing, electrical work, and solar installations, one step at a time.
