Back when I was searching between buying a house or a full sized school bus to convert/live in, I had planned on "sneaking aboard" the bus at the storage lot on base for $70 a month, and then just showering/shaving at work (I'm active duty military). I figured if I lived on the bus, I would be able to convert it so much faster, and then be able to move it off the lot and into the RV park I had my eyes on.
Well, I ended up buying a house instead, but I made sure it had a driveway big enough for a full sized bus. A year later, I bought Argo and began the conversion. That was two years ago, and I literally just got the indoor plumbing/sink finished yesterday. I am very glad I did not opt to live in the bus while converting it, as it took significantly longer than I expected. But then again, I have a steady paycheck and a job that frequently takes me away for months at a time, so I'm sure others would be able to do it much faster. I think the Expedition Happiness couple took six months to convert their bus, working full time on it with a hired carpenter.
If I was younger with less responsibilities, I'm sure it would work, but for me, I'm glad I bought a house and went with the "financially responsible" route (something that is very unusual for me).
