Family of 6 from Oregon

Hello! We just bought our 2006 International CE200. DT466 engine and Allison 3000 transmission. 126,000 miles. After years of watching and reading about other peoples skoolie experiences we are excited to start on our journey. My husband is a carpenter and I am an interior designer so here's hoping we can create a nice looking bus. We have 3 (sometimes 4) kids, homeschool, and own a few acres to house our bus when we aren't traveling. Lots of fantasies but no big plans yet, just letting it all unfold. Happy to finally make a post after years of observation.

Congrats on the new bus and welcome.
Sounds like you’ve got a great background for getting it done and some of the biggest hurdles out of the way(finding a bus and a place to build it)
Cheers

Welcome. Lots of helpful people here. Also, a bunch of good threads on how to get started.
