A family of four - mother Kristin, father Will, baby Roam, and pet dog Rush - purchased a decommissioned 1992 Blue Bird Air Force bus and converted it into their tiny home on wheels.
The idea was originally conceived when the Jacksonville Beach, Florida couple Will and Kristin took a road trip up the coast of California in 2015 and slept in their SUV rental along the way. Kristin then became "obsessed with the idea of #VanLife," according to the couple. However, at the time, Will wasn't convinced of the idea because they were in debt, had jobs, and owned too many belongings to live on the road.
The couple finally decided to buy a bus and convert it into their tiny home when they started house hunting and traveling for work, opting for a bus instead of purchasing a new home. Kristin and Will were debt-free and working jobs that allowed them to be remote at the time of this decision. They had also become self-proclaimed minimalists.
