It's been 3 years since we've been traveling in our bus conversion, living on the road full time and adventuring across North America but we've had one issue that has held us back.
This video is sponsored by Dragonfly Energy who are helping us solve that issue. They provided us with Battle Born Batteries for our system so we can keep the Air Conditioning going no matter how long we are stuck in hot and humid weather conditions!

In our quest for seeking out a more healthy and sustainable lifestyle, we made a plan that includes zero waste living, tiny home living and full-time travel. We considered buying an RV, looked at trailers and airstreams but settled on doing a bus conversion for our off the grid, tiny house on wheels. We bought a 1996 MCI 102 D3 coach bus and with the Bus Demolition and Interior Shell complete, now we turn it into our Tiny Home on Wheels!

In its previous life, our MCI bus was used as a school bus, although we don't think we can legitimately call it a skoolie. We are confident that converting our bus into a class a motor home will have challenges, but doing a massive overhaul and remodel on a motorhome / RV remodel didnโt seem to align with the off grid bus life we were aiming for.
