In 2005, I started the journey of purchasing a 40' tour bus with the idea in mind of converting it into an eco tour bus. Three years later, countless hours of planning, designing, funding and building, it is complete. I have used as many recycled products (tile), eco friendly (bamboo flooring), etc. in the process to reduce my overall footprint.
