VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Welcome to a unique journey of bus life with Andy, who transformed his 1994 Heno into a cozy, fully-functional home on wheels. Trapped in a high-rise building during the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, Andy realized the importance of truly living life. This experience led him to embrace a nomadic lifestyle, building and living in buses. Come along and explore this incredible transformation.
🚌 Tour Andy's Custom-Built 1994 Heno School Bus 🚌
Step inside Andy's bus and discover a kitchen designed for functionality and aesthetics. With a four-burner stove top, grill, oven, and a compact sink, this space mimics the convenience of a conventional home kitchen. The kitchen's standout feature is the bamboo bench top, complementing the olive-colored cabinets, and ensuring ample storage with easily accessible drawers secured by yacht-grade shock cords.
🍳 Cooking and Dining in a Tiny Home 🍳
Learn how Andy prioritizes comfort and utility in his dining area, featuring a repurposed tabletop from his house, offering a cozy dining space for three. Underneath, find extensive storage, essential for a neat and organized tiny home living.
🌟 Unique Features and Personal Touches 🌟
Andy's bus is not just about practicality; it's about making it a home. From mounted LED lights with dimming capabilities to personal photos that inspire and remind him to live life fully, every corner of the bus reflects his journey and ethos.
🔥 Staying Warm and Cozy 🔥
Get cozy beside an 8 kW roaring fireplace, a centerpiece that not only warms the bus but also allows for cooking. Adjacent to it, find a hammock chair under a skylight, offering a perfect spot for star-gazing or introspection.
🛌 Bedroom and Living Spaces 🛌
Explore the ingenious use of space in the bedroom areas, from the comfortable queen-sized bed to the snug kids' bunks, each with their own lighting and ventilation. Witness how Andy cleverly integrates utility with comfort, making every inch count in his tiny home.
💧 Water and Power Systems 💧
Delve into the technical aspects of bus life, including the 250 L water storage, efficient solar panels, and a powerful electrical system ensuring uninterrupted power and water supply.
🛠️ Building and Living the Bus Life 🛠️
Andy shares his journey from purchasing the bus for $10,000 NZD to spending around $40,000 NZD on materials for the build. Embrace the challenges and rewards of building and living in a bus, and get inspired to start your own journey.

Really nice build. I love the throw pillows in the living room (ok: lounge) and the dining table. Really great the way it’s rounded off. For some reason Americans always do their tables square. For some reason a square table doesn’t appeal to me! The kids bunks look great. I’ve checked out the zippered bed sheets. I wasn’t sure if he said the name (Beddies) and they’re nice but can get pretty pricey! Overall great build! Vaya con Dios!

Hello, I am wondering about the sizing of the wood stove. 8kw seems to me to be too much for the surface. I think there are a lot of glass surfaces and therefore heat loss. However, it is counterproductive to take an oversized stove because it will have to operate slowly. This will wear out the stove more quickly and clog the chimney with a risk of a soot fire. Professionals say that a stove must operate at full capacity and burn well. Unless I live in a region that is very cold all year round, I will opt for a 4W and find a supplement if it is very, very cold on a few winter days. Calculation method: Area*height=cubic meters (V). I calculated approximately 65M3. Insulation index, poorly insulated and large window surface 1.8 (G). Then climatic index depending on the inhabited or encountered area. For me, the coldest days are around -6.5. I add the desired average temperature in the bus. For me 22° (Celsius). And I add the two, or 28.5 (ΔT). I multiply everything: 1.8*65*28.5=3334.5 Result 3.33KW. So, to choose a stove that is not oversized or undersized, I will opt for a 4KW which runs in an optimized manner
