New Members and New to Skoolie

Hi, we bought our first Skoolie (2000 Thomas) and are starting to demo we have the seats out, floor almost completely removed and are now ready for more design planning. Our names are Mark and Mary and we live in Southern Arizona. Look forward to transitioning to the nomad life.

Welcome! Plenty of good ideas on this site. I tend to lean toward encouraging folks to utilize heavy truck (tractor-trailer) salvage yards, lots of space saving dinettes and such in those that could be put to good use. Most of their storage cabinets have a similar curvature to a skoolie's roof, as they are usually positioned to face the centerline of the cab and have to fit into a condo sleeper's roof curvature. Happy hunting!

Also, you might update your account with more specific info on your bus -- will help others with getting advice and info without getting asked what you have all the time, or having to mention it. Be sure to mention what chassis it is on / engine, etc. (ex. Navistar 3800, Ford B700, Chevy C60, etc., or 5.9 Cummins / Navistar T444E, etc.)
