hi.. i went inside a 10 window high roof bus at my sons school yesterday.. the driver was nice to let me look inside... i found it to be small not like the videos i seen on YouTube which looks more spacious .. by that said i think best thing for me to do is actually see a converted skoolie to get a better feel.. im in Miami and want to know where and when i can see a skoolie festival schedule if there is such a thing... thank you
 
i dont mind to fly to another state... i have alot of vacation from work.. i gatta use them or loose them anyway...
 
There's a guy here in Bozeman that just started hosting a bus/tiny home meetup. I'm not sure how frequently these events will occur but I'll keep this thread in my sub list and post the next time I see one. Blunderbuss is his alias. Tate Chamberlin, actual name. He might even be a member here but I'm not sure.

Here's his Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/iamblunderbuss/

And here's the last events news coverage: https://www.ktvh.com/news/local-news/roam-home-expo-showcases-buses-and-vans-converted-into-homes

Is that a tiny house sales event or a skoolie gathering?

It does not sound like you are going to attend, CB!


Not your cup of tea?

Nah, feels wrong to me to pay to go to that. I love the spirit of the event Trav and Michelle put together. The swarm. That's what I envisioned when we threw a skoolie gathering a few years ago. Nothing for sale, no charge for entry, just a place to meet different folks.
The guy who builds and sells those gypsy wagons lives near me and I know him. I've been to one of his sales events before and would hate to get stuck at another.

From what I read, it's free to attend for skoolies!

Here is their registration page, info is on there!

My guess would be that they consider skoolies to be tiny homes too???
