Flimsy, factory-made RVs have nothing on these totally customized, cozy buses converted into compact rolling homes.

Waldmire Road Yacht
This amazing half-wooden contraption is a converted school bus known as the ‘Waldmire Road Yacht,’ built by Rob Waldmire, who traveled in his handcrafted creation for decades along Route 66. It’s now part of the Route 66 Hall of Fame Museum in Pontiac, Illinois.

Tired of just drafting imaginary buildings in studio courses, architecture student Hank Butitta decided to get his hands dirty: he bought a bus for $ 3,000 and completely transformed the interior, spending $ 6,000 to improve it with an array of transforming modular features.
