"Snowshoe" build on YouTube

Hi guys, I'm making a video series on the build of "Snowshoe" and thought I'd share. I haven't posted much on Skoolie, mostly because I've been building and travelling. I'm open to feedback and questions.

Cheers,
Mick

Thanks for subscribing everyone. I will try to prioritize the solar and wood stove episodes. The exterior tour is coming up soon, as soon as I get a chance to edit the video.

Cheers,
Mick

Outside tour episode is out

Hi guys, the quick outside tour episode is out. This is meant to just be a very quick tour. I'll be going into a lot more detail soon. We just finished cruising through Shenendoah skyline drive on our way to Florida. I'll be shooting some more video soon.

I was expecting a 4x4 with massive tires due to the name.

I like the roof rack. Did you use seat bases to make it?

You should post a proper build thread here.

I love the size of your bus and the color is great. Just the color I've been considering for my Roll Your Own bus.

Keep the vids and updates a flowin, mate!

Inside tour is published

Thanks for the comments all! It took a while to get this one out - been adventuring in the Appalachian mountains and now down to Florida. Had a chance to edit the inside video. If I ever get a chance to put up a legitimate/proper build thread you guys will be the first to know - tough to do while travelling though.

I hope y'all enjoy - let me know if you have questions.

Sweet! I was wondering where the next video was at, I've really enjoyed seeing your bus conversion!
