hello from PNW

Hi all we are a family of 5 with 2 fur big babies. We don't own a bus yet but are wanting to do as much research and planning before we get going. We look forward to getting to know the skoolie community. -K

Welcome Mamathree,

This is a great place to share ideas and how-to's on your journey. Plenty of bright and generous folks that share knowledge and experience freely.

Keep an eye on the Non Affiliated Bus sales thread: http://www.skoolie.net/forums/f14/no...tml#post179240


And take a look here: http://www.skoolie.net/forums/f46/wa...tml#post179227

A couple of good auction sites:

Public Surplus: Government Surplus Auctions

www.govdeals.com

Have Fun!!!

Brilliant to establish storage BEFORE buying! Also get insurance lined up - go for a cheap commercial policy as you're converting it then possibly an RV policy if you retitle it as an RV/Motorhome.
