For Sale:2001 International 3800
Price: $74,500
Location: WA

I bought this bus from a local school district and converted it over the course of about 6 months. I am a licensed general contractor and built everything with durability and quality in mind. My wife and I used this bus to travel and live full-time with our kids for about 2 years. It has been coast to coast multiple times without a single mechanical issue. This bus is designed specifically for our family’s needs, i.e. beds for 6 kids all custom tailored to their heights. but I have some ideas of how it could be modified to better suit your unique needs if required.

A few things that I wanted to get to before selling but have not had time for are.
• Exterior paint: Overall, it is in decent shape but we spent a lot of time on the Florida coast. The sun and moisture there caused some cosmetic issues.
• Upholstery: The seat cushions are showing wear from 2 years of use.
• Door Glass: Both lower glass panes in the door are cracked.


I am willing to deliver anywhere in the US with agreeable terms.
Also please feel free to ask any questions you might have or make an offer. We are willing to negotiate.

Thank you. Lots and lots of planning. I always look at the full length buses and think how easy it would have been. :D Guess its all a matter of perspective.

I just wanted to update photos I took today now that we fully moved out of the bus and a video link. Here is a short walk through https://youtu.be/rNPQmKN3pbw and a long walkthrough with me talking about some of the systems and features. https://youtu.be/ttZaEa1ykvc. Thank for looking and please feel free to ask any questions or comments.

I'm impressed with the light bar in the roof raise area up front. Never seen that done before.
