A family from Bursa, Turkey, converted a 1995 bus into a full-time motorhome. They started with 130,000 Turkish lira; total costs for purchase, repairs, and conversion reached 800,000 lira. All work was done by themselves. The family has been living in the motorhome for 8 months, using solar panels for electricity and collecting water from village fountains. Both parents quit salaried jobs; the mother now works as a professional coach, the father does 3D printing of toys. Relatives disapprove of the lifestyle and refuse to let them rent out their apartment, keeping it as a fallback option.
