Hello good people,
Although my partner and I have poured our heart and soul into this bus conversion over the last year and a half, it's time for us to let it go... We would completely finish the build (paint bottom half, and register as RV) but we planned on leaving earlier this year and then a lot of chaos broke loose. We are young, I'm 22 and my girlfriend is 21. We now plan on finishing college, which was the plan after traveling in the bus for a year. We are extremely proud of what we were able to do. I am posting this here before I post it on Facebook marketplace and skoolielivin, which I will do in early spring of next year. So, if anyone on here is interested, you'll have a head start. I would like to make sure whoever gets the bus next, will take care and appreciate it!
Bus details:
- 2006 International CE Diesel VT365 141,000 miles

What we did to it:

Was going to use this bus as a tour bus with an artist named Raury, but then
the pandemic ruined that. I'm going to have Raury post this for his fan base as well, but not going to do that until spring. I want to give someone a chance in this skoolie community because I know one of ya'll will take care of it and treat it right. That's pretty much it. I have a youtube channel that includes the beginning stages of our build. The videos are set to private right now, but if you want to see them I will share them with you via email. This is not an easy thing for us to do, but we know someone will appreciate it as much as we do...
If you are interested, pm me. I'm living in southcentral wisconsin.
