Worst Trip Experience
What was the worst Experience you have had on a Skoolie trip?
Bus wouldn't start in awkward place? Roof leaked during huge storm? Pick up any weird people?
Would love to get a collection of these!

Pulling over when it started to warm up
Only to realize there would be NO A/C because the Generator start switch did nothing... And I had my son riding along.
(Lucky for us a few miles down the road I guess something made contact and it fired up and has every since) [emoji4]

My worst experience is actually when my friends and I Drove the bus home from PA to IL. We decided to do it in February and during a pretty bad storm. It was negative 20 out and we learned that our windsheild wiper sprayers didnt work so at night we were driving blind. We ended up pulling over and staying in the night to wake up to a bus that didn't start. made an 8 hour trip into a 2 day trip.... great way to kick off the Skoolie experience!!

Worst would be taking ferry from Hatteras to Ocrake at low tide, the sound front and back bumpers made on diamond plate was loud,also drug the steps and lost 1/4in h off bottom corner
I just knew a big azzed tow truck would be needed and knew none on the island...very tense 5 minutes

Bansil, Ocrake is one of the places I would like to go. Are they skoolie friendly, how long did you stay and what did it cost to take the ferry?
