15. Space = Time + Money

The main difference between a van and a school bus conversion is the time that it will take. A school bus is a lot bigger, so it’s going to be a lot more work and a lot more time. Time is money in some cases, so you will need to weigh out whether you can budget for both.

The planning and organizing of the conversion can be more time consuming because there is more space, so there are more options to consider when it comes to how you go about designing your space. You will want to create a blueprint of the interior and think through which amenities are the highest priority, how much space they will take up, and how they fit together with other elements (aka, you probably want space between the bathroom and kitchen).
