This category encompasses everything to do with converting your school bus into a skoolie.
It’s no secret! We are building another DIY skoolie project! This time though our skoolie build will be much different than our first skoolie build. We’d like to think that we have learned a thing or two. Not only about the design and construction itself, but about living skoolie life and traveling. We never imagined…
“I immediately started thinking of ways of how to make a skoolie not look like a skoolie.” When we first started talking about living in a tiny house on wheels and traveling full-time, my first bus envy was a full-size MCI or Van Hool type of bus. I wanted the whole rock-band tour bus…
A skoolie roof deck and insurance don’t have to be like oil and water. Rumor, and for good reason, has it around the skoolie community that if you have a skoolie roof deck, your insurance is going to reject your coverage. We will discuss some of the reasons your insurance company does not want to…
