Is this even possible?? A 30 day school bus conversion...

Ойын-сауық

Our 30 day school bus conversion is well underway, now being 2 weeks into our 4 week build challenge.
Whilst we hit a couple of bumps in the road, we've made plenty of progress on our skoolie conversion this week, as it starts to look less like a bus and more like a tiny home on wheels. We can't believe in just 2 weeks we'll be exploring California and taking our school bus up the West Coast of the USA.
Stay tuned for next weeks Vlog to see more progress, and if you enjoyed the video please like and subscribe.
Please also leave a comment with some 'Must See' places on the West Coast!

    @Tony, On skoolie and other home-built forums, we suggest: * acquire a likely candidate * toss in some car-camping gear * go have fun. Allow the conversion to evolve organically. . With nearly two decades full-time live-aboard in our ExpeditionVehicle, our rig is constantly evolving.

    @DJ, 2003, we converted a 1996 Ford CF8000 commercial truck to our concept of an ExpeditionVehicle. . Our insulation: * adhesive-back acoustic against the wall, a gap, then * one-inch pink-board, another air-gap, then * two-inch foil-side poly. . Our windows are 3010 (three feet wide by a foot tall) dual-pane sliders designed for a stand-still house. We mounted these at our eye-level standing inside, about eight feet above pavement.

    @carl, For our ExpeditionVehicle, we use stainless-steel five-gallon retired Pepsi kegs. . Our standard load is seven (thirty-five gallons). A big advantage to small tanks is modularity -- we can add a couple-three dozen more in the toy-hauler I fabricated on a similar commercial chassis... giving us around four months without re-fill. . Another advantage: * a couple-three go to town for re-fill while the others stay in camp.. Here is an identical system by the Everlanders, filmed on a Baja beach:
