Full Skoolie Tour - The Bus is Finished!

The long awaited Skoolie tour. During the pandemic we quickly saw that we might have to move into our Skoolie full-time, and sure enough, we did. We have been living in our bus full-time for almost two years now and we are loving it. The push to get it done unfortunately meant that filming and editing had to be put off. So we are deeply sorry for leaving you hanging on the progress for so long. We hope you enjoy the finished product.
We have set out on a new adventure building an off grid homestead in North Idaho. You can follow our journey on our new channel A Thousand Generations Homestead.

    Completely Awesome! Yours is the first bus I've seen with an attic ladder and it's something I designed for my bus because I didn't like the other options. Seeing how you did it just verifies my choice once I actually start the build. You Rock!. My build design also moves the front door to further along the side. Somewhat like what Gordo From Earth has but with the kind of steps you use. The rest of my layout is very different since I also have to contend with a wheelchair for my wife, but your bathroom design is very much like I'll be building but will be using Centrex composting toilet which have a separate holding tank equipped with an evaporator/dehydrator that will live under our rig. They are expensive but they handle everything so there is a lot less crap to mess with, so to speak. Thank's again for posting this.

    amazing build! usually I don't care for interior roof deck ladders/stairs, and I was very impressed with your entry point. i did have a couple questions about your build. Do you have locks on your engine cover? I don't hear a lot of people who do bus conversion talk about parking, Have you encountered any difficulties finding parking in urban or city areas? I'm sure bed size played a role in your discission on the bathroom placement, but did you ever consider having the bathroom behind the bedroom in the far back?

    Thank you so much, We haven't had any need to lock our engine compartment. Parking and even driving takes a lot of planning. we do stay out of the city whenever we can but Harvest host has been great for planning trips. this was never going to be the rig to take on small logging roads in the mountians. Because the engine is in the back it would have made putting the bathroom in the back very difficult. we also didn't want the kids to have to come through the master to get to the bathroom.

    Where did you find the attic ladder & was it tricky to install? Those things always look sort of heavy to me which makes me wonder if it has required any extra reinforcement in the ceiling?

    Thank you, we found the attic ladder at Home Depot. it wasn't too hard to install, however designing and building a weatherproof roof hatch was the most challenging part. Bus roofs are so overbuild to begin with that no extra support was needed, just blocking in the hole we cut. Follow our bus life on our new channel A thousand generations homestead
