1992 e350 Skoolie 4sale!
It's with a heavy heart that we are returning back to normal adult life and having to put our '92 Ford E350 Canadian Narrow Skoolie up for sale. We drove 24k miles and hit over 30 states this last year and this bus just wont quit, it easily has another 300k miles of life left. Whether you wanna be miles away from society on a deserted forest road or sleeping in a Walmart parking lot in the Midwest, this is the rig for you. We've replaced basically half the engine at this point and its ready to make another lap around the US. Or use it for those weekend trips and bring your cat, cause this bus has a built in litter box area ready to go for your young/old Garfield/Nermal.
One of the highlights of this bus is that it is narrow, it was meant to weave around those Canadian mountain roads with ease (which it did). It fits into a normal sized parking spot and it's also only 20 feet long and the width of a normal sized car. We drove it on Going to the Sun road which is notoriously sketchy for RVs, and actually prohibited, just fine. Its right about 10.5 feet tall if you include the chimney for the fireplace. We never had any clearance issues the entire trip, minus one time in a Taco Bell drive-thru, but just don't be lazy and get your T-Bell to go and its all good. Speaking of clearance, the front end is beamed, so you can take this thing anywhere. It has ground clearance for days. You can spend $100k on a lifted sprinter like a fool, or you can get this beast and go further than any sprinter has gone before. We've never had an issue reaching secluded mountain spots, the engine has a lot torque and will get you up any hill.
All the woodwork and electrical have been professionally done. The woodwork is all eco-friendly courtesy of the previous owner who worked at an eco wood facility. It just so happened that he was also an electrician so the bus is wired up very safe, and professional. The counter top could use some love, aka some sanding and staining, after our year of use, but other than that the wood is in beautiful shape. The entire bus is insulated with 1.5 inch insulation and stays quite warm during winter with the Cubic Mini stove (90 degrees inside the bus during a snowstorm that dropped to -8 Fahrenheit outside) or nice and cool in the summer (trust us, we were in the deep south part of the summer) with the 4 fans circulating air around. There's 300 watts of solar on top and (3) 100 amp hour Battle Borne Batteries below, with a 2000 watt AIMS Pure Sine inverter converting that power for charging all your fancy Apple products and what not. Solar power is managed by an Outback FlexMax 60, which if you know solar, is one of the best charge controllers money can buy.
Did I mention storage?! There's two shelves, one above the countertop and one in the back, above the bed. There's two "hidden" cubbies under the bed, one open cubby below the bed. Nine, yes 9, drawers, for clothes, utensils, etc under countertop. Another slide out drawer under the fireplace, as well as under bench storage divided into two sections which we currently use for a litterbox and holding our cooking stove, pots, pans, etc. Oh wait, there's more!
From the outside you have access to the "tunnel" which is more storage under the bed where we keep the cooler, chairs, extra boxes of crap we never used over the last year and more. Plus the back door swings open and there's room for extra cables (shore power cables, extra extension cords, snow chains, snow shovel, etc).
Scope the details below and don't hesitate to ask me anymore questions regarding the bus, I know this thing inside and out and want to make sure it gets passed on to an owner who will use it to its full potential just like we did. It is made to adventure and we wanna make sure it continues to adventure!
