A couple from Indiana, Chris and Brandy, gave up their settled life to become nomads and travel as much as they can thanks to their custom-built motorhome. They converted a 37-feet-long International Amtran school bus into a luxurious motorhome spending about $45,000 and 600 build hours on the conversion.

The vehicle uses a DT466E engine that can be reliability on long journeys into the wild. The conversion also involved a 15-inch roof raise for a higher ceiling to accommodate Chris' seven-foot height. Since the motorhome is a custom built project, the couple had all the autonomy on how they can use the massive space offered by the bus. The cabinets inside the motorhome have also been hand-built by Chris.
