Yeah, much better without vendors.
Make anything about money and it gets lame real quick, IMO.

Looking for my second bus right now. ( lived in one when I was a kid, and built and lived in one for a while before I was married.) anyone local to the space coast area?

How the full time thing working for you, I am about to do the same thing, full time.
What do you do to generate income over the road?

WanderWoman · 05-27-2019, 08:01 AM

I love it! We’re getting ready to hit the road again on Saturday.
I own an insurance billing company and I’m on faculty at an online college (instructor and guidance counselor) so as long as I have Internet I’m good to go! Usually use the hotspot on my phone.

Make sure and have the front end jacked up and get those kingpins greased if you haven't yet!

Cool!

Im about to jump in with both feet. Will be living full time, I think. Are there any suggestions for generating income from this lifestyle?
Thanks is advance, Jay.

C-ptsd · 07-08-2019, 09:35 PM

Hey i have complex ptsd from torture, abuse, survivors guilt. Im buying a school bus and wondering if anyone know of any rv sites in citrus county florida, marion county florida, or central florida that would allow a 91 international (26 passenger already converted tagged and insured) to stay long term? Im trying to get away from my family who are my abusers. Id like to make a new friend or 2 and live within bike riding or walking distance of a store. Im 31 yrs old. Im not a trouble maker. I smoke medical marijuana and have an esa dog for my agoraphobia. I can afford 500-550/mo max. I collect disability. But my insurance is paying for my relocation because its a medical emrgency through a w-9 form. They pay for deposit+1st month rent. I dont have a license so i had to have the bus put in someone elses name. Im medically not allowed to get a license. I would def be interested in meeting someone to travel with me long term. Maybe ill meet someone off pof with a license :P ... Im down to travel. The farther the better. Id like to convert the bus to run off veggie oil for highway trips id also like to put in a battery bank and roof deck and solar system aswell before moving away. Please list any locations where skoolies are welcomed. Appreciate it

Question for the Florida skoolies:
Looking to purchase a towed vehicle. I’m in Idaho currently and not coming back to Florida anytime soon. Anyone know how to transfer title and register without coming back?

You can do nearly everything online with the FL DMV.

Looking to buy a skoolie. We need to stay in Indian River County for now. Anybody have any inexpensive ideas/land?

WanderWoman · 09-23-2019, 11:08 AM

I'm down in Martin Co... I've been on my bus for almost 3 years, and the place I've parked is no longer available, so I've been looking at leasing land out west and one of the places I've searched is Craigs List.
Did you come to the Vero Tiny Home show?

Shell · 09-23-2019, 11:12 AM

Wander Woman,
I wasn't able to go to Vero show.
The RV parks are soooo expensive!
Not sure what to do.

WanderWoman · 09-23-2019, 11:18 AM

Yes, they can be quite expensive! Check mobile home parks, as well. I'm looking at some property to lease in western Martin Co in two weeks when I'm back from my summer trip. I found it on Craigs List... they are willing to lease it for $400/month, so I'm excited. There's lots of stuff out there (even folks selling land are sometimes willing to lease it to you for the time being).

I cannot make the link work

I looked up lots for sale in Indian River County on Zillow and found numerous lots offered for $9,000 - $12,000. On at least one of them said "possible owner terms".

Good luck.

Edit: If my rental in KS opens up I will post it here. I tried to get a skoolie in there first but did not find any takers here and had locals bugging me to rent it to them. I gave in. BTW, the rent is $350 and there is room to park at least two buses without trouble from the city.

thebus · 09-24-2019, 04:08 PM

Hello from Stuart!

I'm new to the skoolie world but am almost finished with my conversion. (October is my goal). I will be living in it full time and can't wait! Looking forward to camping and traveling.

Welcome back to Florida!

Miranda

thebus · 09-24-2019, 04:11 PM

I replied back to you but I think I replied somewhere else. (I'm new to this site lol) Anyway, welcome back to Florida! Enjoy the ride

Hi Miranda! I’m in Stuart! Right now I’m parked at the pumpkin patch a mile north of the bridge on US1 until Halloween. You should stop by and say hi and see my bus [emoji4]
