Newbie schoolie family of five

Hello, we've been researching motor homes for four months and then we found this resource about schoolies.
So we just bought a bus. A 1999 Thomas Saf-t-liner with a tow car.
Thank you for all for the great info.

I don't know if I like 4 other people well enough to live in 7'x35' metal tunnel with them!

Now, if we're talking Victoria Secret's models......... I'll take 6


I know I know.... The milk's gone bad

Welcome, glad you all are here!


Ahhh the good life huh?!

There are other Skoolie families here who say they are even happier in the skoolie.
Since Mom and dad's not stressed out of thier minds trying to make a giant mortgage, the entire family unit works smoother... i'm betting

Good luck!
