New Skoolie from Nova Scotia, Canada!

Hello Fellow Skoolies!

Have wanted to do one of these up for years, and have now pulled the trigger on it. The tipping point came after tenting it with our four kids multiple times this summer, and after evaluating the time spent packing and unpacking the SUV for the trip alongside the time spent setting up and tearing down the campsite full of multiple tents, and when we moved from site to site... was nothing short of time wasted. I hate wasted time. I'm all for get-in-and-go!

I have picked up a 2011 IC CE200 12-window model that had a seating capacity of 57, and am gearing up for the conversion with first planning out a suitable layout for comfortable travel for a family of six.

Would love to connect with fellow members on here that own an IC bus of similiar vintage and families who enjoy time adventuring in their skoolie! You can check out my ride on Instagram @cdnskoolie

When completed, we intend on doing some extended trips throughout North America and into Mexico. Thankful for this community and the resources we all share.

If you have the maxforce 7 sell the bus. Last engine replacement came in at $45,000 Canadian. Thank goodness it blew up 1 month before the warranty expired.
