On the outside, the massive vehicle received a fresh, all-white paint job, covering up the classic red, white, and blue stripes for a cleaner appearance [00:05:08]. When Jessie finally walked into her completed home, she admitted it somehow felt even larger than her former apartment in New York City [00:05:32].
To make the space deeply personal, she decorated it with precious family heirlooms, including fine china plates once used by her great-grandmother [00:05:58]. The stunning kitchen looks like a high-end brochure, fully equipped with an oven, stove, a large sink, and an energy-efficient washing machine [00:06:17].
Adjacent to the kitchen is a remarkably spacious bathroom featuring mahogany slotted flooring that drains directly into a specialized greywater tank mounted underneath the chassis [00:06:44]. In the master bedroom, Jessie intentionally skipped installing a TV, choosing instead to wake up to the beautiful sounds of birds outside her window [00:07:04].
Instead of mindlessly watching television, she built a cozy little library along the back wall to catch up on reading her favorite books [00:07:25]. She also added incredible technological flair: by pressing a simple electric button at the entrance, the outer steps automatically fold out for guests [00:08:48].
After completely finishing this incredible transformation, the young lady shocked everyone by listing the masterpiece on Craigslist for a whopping 149,000 dollars [00:09:23]. While that listing is now gone, the bus found a brilliant second life as a highly-rated Airbnb nestled in the idyllic desert landscape of Joshua Tree [00:10:01].
