Bini Bazer says he’ll never work for someone else again.
In August 2021, the 21-year-old Israeli man and his girlfriend, Tyanna Robertson, 23, of Idaho Falls, opened The Rolling Donkey, a business that converts old school buses, vans and other vehicles into custom motorhomes. It started in Boise, but it’s now transitioning into a shop at 3887 American Way, Ste. F, in Idaho Falls.
For the Idaho Falls couple, it’s been more profitable than they could have imagined. They’ve filled orders for customers across the U.S., and next year, Bazer tells EastIdahoNews.com, the company is on track to make more than $1 million in revenue.
“We’ve probably put about $45 into advertising since we started. We’ve been profitable our first year, and we should be hitting close to a million dollars in revenue in 2023,” Bazer says.
Each custom RV is made-to-order, meaning they buy vehicles and materials based on the client’s request. Many of the vehicles are found in public auctions for a low price. Over the course of several months, Bazer and Robertson gut the inside and turn it into the customer’s ideal motorhome at a fraction of what it would have cost to buy a brand-new RV.
