Eschewing traditional houses and downsizing into alternative living spaces is all the rage these days. Whether majorly downsizing with a tiny house or taking life on the road by living on four wheels , people are trading in that McMansion with a white picket fence for something totally different.
The latest trend in alternative homes is not only small spaces, but ones that can move: Yes, enter the bus tiny house . From renovated commuter coaches to vintage school buses, these Instagrams from seven awesome tiny house buses will provide inspiration for miles and miles—whether you’re looking for the tiny home on-the-go of your dreams, or just want to live vicariously through other people’s freewheeling lifestyles.

Jason and Blair affectionately call their home-on-wheels “Wayne,” because they believe it is a 1954 Wayne School Bus . They discovered the bus in a Colorado antique yard and converted into a tiny house.
Check out their adventures with their two dogs, Kira and Jd, on their 116-square feet of mobile living space on episode 12 of Season 2 of HGTV’s “Tiny House Big Living.”

Ben and Mande Tucker, originally from Holland, Michigan, converted a 1992 International bus into a fabulous tiny home , which they call “Fern.”
Back in May, they welcomed a son, Sawyer, who is now along with them for the ride as they travel the country. How cute does he look all snuggled up in his bassinet in the home’s adorable kitchen?
