The exterior looks like a bad basement redo from the 70s.

You mean like Elvis' Graceland basement? Brown and yellow shag

the price is higher cause they paid $20,000 for the web page design...

As wonderful as the craftsmanship of this truck is, I don't see any air conditioning. Also, I know RV parks that wouldn't allow this home made looking conversion into their park. I wouldn't be caught driving such a thing. Good Luck, TomC

You bunch of right-wing, penny pinching, snobs! That truck is worth every penny you can find in your couch cushions.
It would win first place in any high school wood shop class!
I'm sure even without air conditioning, proper safe heat, good water utilities, safe, code-based electrical, or any other basic luxuries - all on an overweight Ford single cab pick-up chassis.... it must be a steal of a deal - somehow???

Where's the gold plating?

I'm proud to be a bus nut!

You would think they would have went to the effort to put an older cab on it to tie it together. And some skirts or something on the sides at least! Housetruckers, they are some weird cats.

It really amazes me how everyone gets so critical about the asking price of something as nice as this. Go buy the materials and the truck and pay a craftsman to build this and see if you come in under 165k, I think not. Granted some may not like the layout but this looks to be very well built. Personally I like it. I build wood airplanes for a living and I know good work when I see it.

Great work who ever you are!

Is it your's/

Seayfam · June 07, 2012, 06:14:51 PM

Yeah, and most seem to think a very rare scenicruiser priced a 16k was too high. It seems like a lot of people up here in Alaska like the cabin look. Here is a pic of a bus conversion up here. You see more of these than what some would call "proper" conversions. Some are done very nice. This is just one I seen today.

The woodworking in my bus is also superb. However it cost 7.6% as much. I don't think anyone is knocking the execution, simply the concept and the pricing.

I am gonna disagree with you on this one. If they put that much into it, they were paying way too much for material. I do woodworking too, and I know what wood costs. If they spent that much, they should have been awake when writing checks.

I wonder if the bike on the rear is included?

That might change my mind on the price....
