Skoolie Spottings
Spotted this down the street from my house. I think it's been parked there about a week now, Vermont tags. Anyone on here?

It's definitely had some extensive reconstruction- a bit rough around the edges.

I like the back porch idea, but I'd imagine that bus leaks like a sieve.
This is what camp grounds don't like, not to mention insurance companies.

I agree 100 % with you, I wish people wouldn't do this, its hard enough to get taken seriously when you show up at a camp ground, or the dreaded insurance inspection. but I guess we all beat our drum to a different beat

That ones been in some news clips IIRC. I think they use it as a mobile meth lab/glass blowing studio. Shoddy conversion. I wonder who insures it.

Two more sightings in Bozeman, MT
Super short, lifted, 4WD. Parked a couple of spaces down from a neighbor's bus that they just started pulling the seats out of (the yellow Ford).
And a pretty under-the-radar wheelchair coach conversion

Spotted this one on the beltline in Raleigh, NC today.
Then again, later today, 150 miles down 64 in Plymouth, NC.
Odd coincidence.
