Tiny House Hunters on HGTV Now Casting

[castingnicki]

Hi Friends!

HGTV's hit series Tiny House Hunters is now casting for its third season.  We are looking for people who are interested in transitioning from living in a traditional sized home to one that is 500 sq ft or less which includes converted busses! 

Our series tells the stories of people going tiny and showcases potential homes that fit their budget and desired amenities. Have you been looking for the perfect bus conversion for full time living?  Hoping to hit the open road and see America? If so, we would love to talk to you!

Requirements:
Must be purchasing and moving into the bus by spring 2016
Must be purchasing a bus that has already been converted.  We are NOT looking for people who are converting their own bus. 

If this sounds like you, please contact me at nicki_marshall@pietown.tv

...   We are NOT looking for people who are converting their own bus. 

     I think you've come to the wrong place.

Nicki, most bus people dont buy a completed bus to live in, they buy a bus and convert it into what they want to live in, or camp in...

Hi Friends!

We reach out in all avenues trying to find real people who are interested in bus conversions.  You never know who will come across the post! This is the way we find amazing people for reality television and we were encouraged to post here by the awesome people who work for Bus Conversions Magazine.     Perhaps there is someone out there who can't wait to move into a converted bus without having to lift a tool!

Cheers!
Nicki, Casting Producer
Tiny House Hunters on HGTV

PS:  If anyone knows of someone moving into a tiny house that is not a bus, that's great too!  Pass along my email.

Went to an open house (a small gathering....pun intended) for a firm building tiny homes. The "showhome" was an actual build for a customer that was waiting for completion. Do not know the contact of the home owner but maybe the contractor can let you know. Here is a story of them in a local newspaper. No, no affiliation with them, just went looking for bus ideas.

I've corresponded w/ Nicki,

I KNOW we have lots of folk who purchase converted buses - to move into & live in / travel in fulltime 'cause I correspond w/ every new member & I've heard this numerous times from a large number of new members to the forum.  I'm just hoping we get someone who qualifies / meets the criteria because it would be exciting to watch one of our own on TV!!  I could live vicariously through their experience.  I'd be vicariously famous! 

Also, there are a number of similarities between the Tiny Houses on Wheels and and our members' buses.  I visited a Tiny House on Wheels website & was very impressed w/some of the Tiny House on Wheels (buses) and their use of space.  In fact, at that point I was trying to differentiate between Tiny House on Wheels that was a bus, and a "bus conversion" as we know it.   

Hopefully there will be some sharing of ideas in the future as I'm always looking for new bus ideas!

Please don't be shy about contacting Nicki if you think you may qualify.  This could be fun.      

Kind Regards, Phil

Absolutly not true! There have been plenty of folks who have done just that.

Sorry Van , I should have said most bus people I have met so far...

I have never met anyone who bought a turn key ready to go bus without fixing it up some..

how many have you met...

[Scott & Heather]

Our bus is converted. And we are living in it. And we now have a newborn living in it with us. I think that's pretty interesting but I understand they are looking for a specific dynamic to film and I respect that. Plus, I'm not so sure having a camera in my face at Emma's 2:00AM feedings haha

I've watched a couple of those shows and they are pretty good.
I think most of our buses or at least the ones I have seen have a lot more amenities built into them than the tiny houses, imho.
I would like to see an episode that featured buses for folks to consider buying.

No worries DS  Agreed, Those that do will make changes to one extent or the other, eventually rolling their sleeves.

We bought ours ready to go.   And we have lived in it and traveled in it for 12 years. Since we had some money later on we upgraded it some. Now we are ready to sell it and start a new chapter in our life. Maybe whoever buys it will meet the criteria for the show and we will see our bus on tv! I agree with Goldgiter, i think that our buses are a better all around setup than most of the tiny houses unless you are going to just set one up somewhere and never move it.

Hi All, I  bought my first bus pro converted, an MCI5A,  then updated and added furniture, appliances, flooring and window covering, besides mechanical fixes, I  would have done the same with the 102C3 if we could have found a decent bus conversion, instead of from scratch,  lvmci...
