Skoolie Life
Right in the Bus
A disabled Army combat veteran, his family, and a 40-foot school bus. We gutted it, built it out, and hit the road. This is that story.
Our Story
From School Bus to Home on Wheels
It started when I started looking for an RV and Shannon said — why not a bus? I thought she was joking. She wasn't.
Two years, a lot of YouTube rabbit holes, and one very patient family later, we had a home. Not a perfect home. But ours.
The Build
How We Turned a Beast Into a Home
Phase 01
Shannon at work
I think it's no legal to have it flagged as a school bus so we're are changing it to cool bus for this next trip
Phase 02
Gotta have some creature comforts
Installing a roof air so we don't cook in this great big oven
Phase 03
Wiring It All Up
Actually tapping into the lights so that i can a have legal lights on the jeep while towing it. I flat tow the jeep and use wireless lights on it.
Adventures

Central Iowa, we put about 800 miles on it this trip
Great Smoky Mountains
Fall colors, mountain fog, and a campsite we didn't want to leave. The Smokies delivered.

Salt air, white sand, and the kids running into waves at sunset. Simple and perfect.
