I’m making headway on my short-bus conversion, a 1999 GMC Savana cutaway 5 window wheelchair school-bus. I Purchased it from a Hudson Valley school district at auction with 145 K miles on it. Corbi has a 6.5 GM/DT diesel engine that so far, runs well. The main challenges to date were removing...

Hi, my name is Keaton Emmons. Currently living in SC with my wife. I work full time in Fire Alarm installs. We are looking to convert a 1998 International 3800 school bus into a “Skoolie” over the next year to move into at the end of our lease. I would love to meet more skoolies in the area...

Just bought my bus and I am so excited to start my build! :biggrin: I was really lucky with my find, a super long '95 Bluebird that is in fantastic condition. I will be converting her for full-time, off-grid living, so it will be a harrowing and educational build I am sure! As far as I the...

Hi everyone. So I know there's much debate with insulation and usually the best bet is spray foam. We've opted for foam board insulation, as it's much more cost effective for us. It seems to be doing well for the side panels. My biggest concern is that I've read about issues with condensation...

Hey all! So we have gotten most of the demo done and are looking to replace the emergency exits with sky lights. We are also debating on extending them for more head room (not sure on this yet)... I'd like at least one to open if possibly for safety and access to the roof. What have you guys...

Lebanon MAINE - Hello! We have a driving and running 2001 GMC school bus with a powerful Caterpillar 3126 turbo diesel engine that we converted to a home. It's Solar powered. Has a rustic style. Also it features an on board fresh water sink, bathtub, composting toilet, LP stove, refrigerator...

For those of you that used foam board insulation in your side walls, did you use 1.5 inch? If so, where in the world did you find it. No one carries that size anymore and I really don't want to have to double up because it's already gonna be pricey. Any tips help. I keep going back and forth on...

Which is best and why? Obviously there is a huge price difference. Is one safer than the other? Does one work better?

Hello, There are two buses I've found. There is a $3,000 difference between the two. I was considering the less expensive so I'd have more $$ upfront to start the project, but I'm not an engine expert. Is there a reason for the huge difference in price? Which would be the better bus to buy? I...

After 10,000 miles of road tripping around North America for the past 18 months, I am selling Mr. Dunlap the Bus. I am selling because I no longer need this amount of space because my ex and I split. We had 3 large dogs as well so we needed the space. Road Tripping is not over for me, I will...

Hi everyone, So I have done an extreme amount of research on here and I know there are countless threads regarding somewhat of my issue, but I needed a bit more clarity. My boyfriend is ridiculously tall, I think 6'3", or something along those lines. With shoes on, his head brushes the roof...

Hey everyone! We are Justine & Noah and we are excited to have finally started our conversion. We have learned so much from this community and we hope to eventually give back. We hope you all will follow us on our journey! https://youtu.be/BiEl3nZyvCA

Hello helpful Skoolie friends. A month or so ago my wife and I came down with the well-known to this forum "school bus affliction." First we were thinking lets convert a school bus on the cheap and turn it into an Airbnb (we've run 1-2 Airbnb's for coming up on 3 years). Then we thought let's...

Okay Gang, My wife is at it again! :banghead: She wants me to remove the front turns signal lights and wire the turn signals into the amber lights just at the end of the front bumper. :hide: Has anyone attempted this before? She said the present turn signal lights remind her of eyeballs...
