All original windows were removed and replaced with galvanized sheeting and RV windows. The black paint is in good condition, the roof was painted with white TropiCool.
The previous owner totally gutted thes bus and there was no rusty holes just normal surface rust after pulling plywood up. The skoolie was rust treated, primed and painted.
All materials purchased in 2017-18 and been in use for approximately 12 months. Smoke and pet free home.
I am the second owner who drove it back from Washington State to Indiana with no issues whatsoever. The original conversion was done by a very skilled artisan out of Seattle area. I need to travel overseas for a family emergency family and cannot hold onto the bus.

Good luck with the sale.

Nice, well thought out description.


Please keep us updated on the sale. When you do sell the bus, please let us know and let us also know if you got your asking price. Many of us are curious as to the value of our own rigs and sales threads like this are helpful to that end.

hi BumblingAlong - the guy I bought the bus from in Washington State initially said I could use the Matilda FB page but decided to take it down. Apologies for that. Let me know if there is anything specific you would like me to record and post. Thanks Andy

Curious if you sold the bus? (I assume yes) It looks nice in the pictures. I was also curious about the “shop” space on it? Do you have more pictures of the back and that space? Wondering how that was setup
Thanks

My uncle just bought a used camper trailer for $28,000. I was trying to talk him into buying a completed skoolie instead but he wasn't having any of that. His trailer is crap, too.

You can change your UserCP profile to have the site send you an e-mail when someone replies in a thread you have posed. I get them all day long.

Hey how's it going? Is this bus still for sale? Would love to see some interior shots/videos and maybe a picture of the garage space? This is a pretty awesome turn key build and the price is right for me. I can be reached at ejwargo3@gmail.com or my cell: 970-214-5636

Thanks

Jay
