Rou Bus For Sale!
Friends,
After much deliberation and consideration, Wendy and I have decided to put the Rou Bus up for sale. We still absolutely adore the bus and love camping in it, but there are some limitations that we think could be easily overcome with a different rig. The main reason for this change is that we always have to bring a second vehicle when going camping in case we need to leave the campground. It’s also safer and easier for the animals to travel in the truck rather than the bus.
We had been thinking of buying a regular toy hauler camper, but recently saw a converted enclosed trailer and that set my imagination on fire. So, when the bus sells, we will be converting an enclosed trailer into a toy hauler, already named the Rou Hauler!
Below are all of the specs for the bus. Serious inquiries can be submitted over at Tiny House Listings. We are located in Thibodaux, Louisiana. Head over to our Rou Bus Instagram for more pictures from the build.
