the bus body is built to be a structural box, but its independent of the bus chassis. so we cut the body off right behind the drive area and build a tiny house on the back 30 feet. we are building one now that is a short bus to use as a mobile shop for our mobile rv services. its an international chassis DT 360 (250 HP) with MT 643 Allison ( this combination will fly! over 80 on the highway) but we are adding a twist to this build, we are using a 1964 chevy truck cab and front clip so it will have the front end of a 1964
chevy truck and a tiny house on the back. we are planning to build this unit this year.

How does your Tiny Home product differ from a DIY RV?
Are the necessary safety inspections performed by a licensed state or county entity?
Are "homeowners" able to obtain:
- Certificate of Occupancy from their local AHJ?
- Homestead tax Exemption from the Property Appraiser?
- Homeowners Insurance?
What additions or changes advance the bus from an RV to a tiny House?
Are we simply redefining "stationery RV" and replacing it with "tiny house"?
You used the word "professional", meaning licensed/bonded/insured Electricians, Plumbers, HVAC, permitted, inspected & certified? Not amateurs, Pros.
A manufactured "Park Model" RV can receive all of the aformentioned homestead inspections and benefits, the same as an on-slab, brick & mortar home. The park model rv manufacturers have upgraded their product and negotiated the licensing & certifications to define their product as a Perminant Residental Structure.
