We often get asked what products we used to complete our school bus conversion. Below are a list of our favorite items we used during our build!

Bedroom

We are in love with Beddy’s bedding! Honestly I couldn’t imagine being in bus or RV without it. The sides zip up like a sleeping bag and the minky lining is so soft and cozy!

This 12 volt heated blanket is great for cold nights! It is so soft and can even be machine washed! It can run off either a battery pack (purchased separately) or your 12 volt system, which is a great option to conserve power!

This little tv is a perfect size to hang in our bedroom! Although we don’t watch often, it is perfect for those rainy evenings we are stuck inside!

This ultra flush tv mounting bracket is perfect so we keep as much space as possible in our bedroom!
Living Room

We love our cushions! We ordered two different sizes of these, one for the back and one for the seat! They very comfortable, and so easy to clean! Just remove the cover and throw them in the wash!

These curtains are on all the windows of our bus! They come in a whole bunch of different sizes, and wash really well!

These curtain tiebacks work awesome when we are on the road or need to let a little sunlight in our bus!

This is a super high quality magnetic screen! It fits the door nearly perfect and does an excellent job keeping the bugs out!
Kitchen

We get asked about our fridge all the time! We love that it has a separate fridge and freezer. It has relatively low energy consumption, and it holds a surprising amount of food! It also fits right under the countertop!

We have actually purchased this faucet for our stationary home as well! We have had no complaints, and you can’t beat the price! It swivels and the sprayer also detaches, which is perfect for those sink shower days!

Another item we also get asked about all the time is our kitchen cabinets. Our cabinets, sink, counter, and storage bins in our kitchen are all from Ikea. We honestly couldn’t be happier with how they have been holding up over the last year!

If I could only recommend one thing, this would probably be it! A literal life-saver for fresh water on the road!
Electrical

Super high powered 12 volt fans. We have two of them in our bedroom and they do an excellent job keeping us cool!
Plumbing
Solar

Renogy 200 watt solar panel. We have 2 panels on our bus and have had no issues keeping our appliances and devices up and running!
Tools
Miscellaneous

Thankfully we’ve only had to use this a handful of times, but definitely a must have for safe travels!

These camping chairs are super sturdy and comfortable. Plus they come in a whole bunch of fun colors!

Seriously a LIFESAVER for dirty, muddy paws! Just fill with water and place in your dog’s paw! It works amazing!
