First Time Bus Build - Demo complete

Helping my Aunt with her short bus build. Mostly finished with the Demo and are now just waiting for construction supplies.

She wants a simple but well insulated layout. The goal is a camping and ski bus, not full time living. She wanted a bus that fit in any normal parking spot, and this one certainly fits the bill. The interior space is only 6'6" wide.

Anyway i have totally caught the Skoolie bug and am saving up for my own ~30' bus while i work on hers. Great practice for when I start my own. My wife is excited for us to get our own, but i suspect she gets a little tired with it being all I seem to talk about these days

Updates to follow once we start construction.

Welcome to skoolie.net! I was going to say nice skylight but then I realized that's probably just a tarp over where the hatch used to be.

Yeah it's just a tarp. Its very rainy and windy on the Oregon coast. Wind storm ripped the hatch right off the bus. The skylight should be here by next week.

That's a nice little bus. I've seen some pretty creative builds with limited space. Welcome and good luck!
