2007 Freightliner FS-65 diesel for sale by owner - Austin, TX - craigslist (2024)

Here's a 12-minute YouTube video tour showcasing all of the features outside and inside of the bus.

Go full digital nomad or use this as a fantastic tiny home if you just want to add an office to your property. I built it out with a FULL bathroom with shower, FULL kitchen with stove including tiled backsplash (no plastic low end stuff anywhere to be found including the custom tiling), and full studio for doing your Zoom calls or working on your art projects.

I lovingly transformed this bus for over 6 years. This mobile sanctuary, equipped with a Mercedes-Benz MBE 906 6.4L engine and an Allison 2000 automatic transmission, has taken me from the Rockies to Burning Man, from the beautiful Highway 1 in California to Miami beach, and everywhere in between.

The entire bus is covered in wood (except the ceiling) with 2 sets of lighting: 1 custom LED system trimmed on every wall outside of the bathroom that you can control from your phone & convenient ceiling lights with warm soft light for each room. This is a one-of-a-kind tiny home unlike any other that you can drive around like an RV or park in 1 spot forever and just live in it.
