When the bus is stopped, a thick, wooden disc can be placed on top of the steering wheel to convert the wheel into a tiny desk.
The kitchen countertop is one of the couple's favorite pieces, according to a video of the tour of their bus. The wood used in the countertop is from the Jacksonville Beach Pier that got destroyed during Hurricane Matthew in 2016.

The sink faucet can be turned to face outside the window, allowing it to be used as an outdoor shower.
A table — seen as the wooden paneling under the sink in the photo below — pops out and can be used both inside and outside the bus.
There is a three-burner propane stove, oven, and refrigerator.
The couch can slide out into a bed for guests. It's also where Rome's baby seat clips-in for long road trips.
The reading lights above the couch also have a blue light for late-at-night reading.
Will's work desk is in the middle of the bus and has a monitor that also doubles as a television when it swivels out.
The wet bath has a composting toilet and a showerhead.
The closet drawers can be secured while driving.
Rome's bed has a nook mattress and a mesh lining with blackout curtains.
The master bedroom consists of a queen-size bed with a "garage" underneath it. This is where the family stores items such as the stroller and laundry baskets.
There is a light bar outside the bus to use at night.
A rail on the side of the bus can be pulled out to skate on, an addition added to satisfy Will's skateboarding hobby.
The front half of Juan's roof has 500-watts of solar panels, allowing the bus to stay off-the-grid, according to the couple. The back half of the roof has a deck for storage, yoga, and golf when the green is up.
The bumper of the bus was extended three feet to create a secondary garage that holds their motorcycle, which is convenient when either Kristin or Will needs to run out for errands like groceries or gas.
