Oney's Palace

1950 Dodge

This bus was featured in Rolling Homes, pages 81 through 83
Oney has lived in his bus for 27 years.
The original curb door has been converted into a storage area, including a battery box.


Table with fold up end will seat eight in a pinch. Permanent benches with storage areas underneath surround table. Oney puts extra pads on the bench and table to make a driver's seat.

Sleeping loft with curtains above.

Super cozy, super functional, super homey!


(Imagine this as one photo)
Windows and skylights in loft bedroom total seven. Both stove pipes are also visible.
Rear doors are two very narrow 'french' doors. The upper loft windows on either side are beds. A one-person wood fired hot tub also occupies the rear floor area.


Above, Kitchen includes matching recycled quart and pint jars. French tempered glass service for eight. A food processor is the only 110 volt appliance. The 5 gallon jug is the only water supply for the kitchen. Another pressurized water system serves the toilet and shower only.

Right, Ship's stove, a type no longer made. He can't say enough good about it. Under cabinet area to the left is wood storage. A one-burner propane hot plate is installed for fast jobs.


Here Oney's bus is on it's third total rebuild. Before this, his bus looked just like Jonathan's, in fact, Jonathan copied Oney's bus measurement for measurement. Midships in the roof is a functional deck, constructed of marine plywood.
