School Bus Transformed into Home

Patrick Schmidt quit his job, bought a 1990 school bus from a California church, and aimed to create a skoolie: a school bus that's revamped for non-school purposes. When he first bought the bus in March, he decided to name it "Big Blue" and then drove it to his parents' Las Vegas home. With help from his dad, Schmidt tirelessly worked to transform Big Blue into a mobile tiny home.

After removing the roof, the interior, and changing the insulation, the father-son duo installed solar panels, a bed, kitchen, dining area, toilet, and air conditioner by reusing and recycling as much as possible. In August, Big Blue was complete and ready to transport Schmidt on his 10,000-mile road trip spanning 30 states.
