We have been traveling full-time in our 40 ft MCI Bus for one year now. We decided to break down all our expenses from paying for campgrounds, diesel, food, medical and more to find out if traveling full-time is really saving us money compared to our previous life in a sticks and bricks house. What do you think our biggest expense is?

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, we turned it into our Tiny Home on Wheels and are now traveling!
