Hello from some Michiganders living in Alabama!

[skoobie]

Hi all!

My husband has been on this forum for some time, but he wanted me to start a new profile as our skoolie begins it's transformation.

We are originally from Michigan and we have a 1991 Thomas Saf-T-Liner with a CAT 3116 engine that we've named Skoobie (I am semi-obsessed with dogs, so it seemed a fitting name). We first used him as a moving vehicle to move from northern New York to Southern Alabama as buying a bus was just as expensive as renting a moving truck. We are staying in one place for a while now, so we have decided to take the plunge and convert Skoobie into the skoolie he was meant to be

I look forward to posting updates and seeing all your cool conversion stories and pictures!

I like the tinted windows, my windows look like that with my homemade screens installed. I like the air horns to I'm installing a train horn next week.

Thank you! We are actually tinting them even darker to about 5% to help with the crazy heat down here in Alabama.
A train horn would be awesome - hope the installation goes smoothly for you

where do you get a train horn? are they hard to hook up? does it have the chain by the window to make the kids smile?

I'm getting money from Amazon, I don't have air on my bus so I'm buying a 4 trumpet compressor/ tank combo. That's all I need as a 12 volt hook up run the line to the button it looks pretty simple.... And that's right up my alley.

The kids will smile after they climb back into their skin.... They are 150 decibels.
