David has been researching this project for a few years now, and in that time he has accumulated quite the library of web site links.  The various web sites that document a bus conversion done by a particular person or family were, of course, the inspiration for this blog.   We will do some things suggested by these other conversions, and we will come up with some completely original choices, as well.

These links are now updated on our sidebar, and we will certainly continue to add more as we find them.  I’ve included descriptions for every link, so just hover your mouse over if you want a little more info before you click.

Some may require a bit of explanation. 

Why yurts and tiki huts?  Just in case you might like to spread out!  Seriously, Yurts are designed to be portable.  The idea of toting the parts to put up a yurt whenever we end up someplace for more than a week or two, is appealing.  Don’t know if we’ll ever do it, but we like the info.  Same goes for the tiki huts, and particularly the fact that much of the raw material needed for a tiki hut, or a “chickee” as they are sometimes called, might be obtained from routine palm trimming.

We have a strong interest in composting toilets because they eliminate the need for a sewage holding tank in the traditional sense.  So, not adding weight to the bus is a good thing.  Composting is a GREAT thing.   In any event, being different is a given in this arena.

Bamboo is THE wood of choice for us if and when we do use any wood for finishing.  The exception there will be anything we can recycle or re-purpose.   If we find good wood of any variety that we can re-use, it is better than starting with something new, however renewable the source may be.

If you have links you’d like to recommend, please suggest away!
