Couple converts school bus into motorhome

Bruno and Suzanne converted a former Irisbus Récréo school bus into a motorhome. The 2012 Iveco Tector bus, producing 300 hp, was purchased in March 2024 with 175,000 km on the odometer. The conversion took seven months: insulation and structure first, then interior fitting. The space is divided into a living area, kitchen, and rear section with bedroom, bathroom, and laundry. The motorhome features a 55 cm wide fridge-freezer, oven, dishwasher, washing machine, reversible air conditioning, an 80-litre water heater, a drinking water treatment system, solar panels with lithium batteries, 600 litres of fresh water, and a 400-litre waste tank. It weighs 13.36 tonnes empty and can reach 18 tonnes. It is VASP-certified and has already travelled through Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Spain, and Hungary.
