Welcome, Jenny!
I too am starting my journey with a skoolie. I'm one step ahead, though - I just bought my school bus.
Facebook marketplace was where I got mine, and it was a pretty good resource for me. Craigslist would also be a good place to look, as well as government auction sites like
https://www.publicsurplus.com/ and
https://www.govdeals.com/.
Otherwise, this website is a fantastic resource! I have learned so much in the two months I've been around. Welcome to the forums!
