Welcome to our school bus conversion tour! We put a ton of effort into our SKOOLIE and we hope it shows as we take you through our tiny home on wheels!
We focused on keeping things as simple as possible and creating an open floor plan while ensuring we could stay off-grid. We love living in our skoolie and enjoying the lifestyle that comes with it.
If you have any questions please feel free to comment below. We hope you enjoy and appreciate your support! Looking forward to seeing you again next Wednesday. Thanks in advance for any likes/subscriptions :)

This is the most incredibly well thought out and beautifully designed bus I’ve ever seen, and I’m right there with you as far as watching every bus tour, van tour, and tiny home on KZfaq. It’s the only reason I watch it nowadays! I want to build a bus for when my kids go off the college soon to travel. Wow, your build is incredible! I’m just honestly blown away, you guys have every luxury, tons of room but a small enough bus still. Great job, and great video. Your quality of editing is great too!

@bonafideoutside 3 жыл бұрын

Corinne, you just made our day! Thank you! Just like you we watched every tutorial and skoolie tour before starting our build and took pieces of what we liked from others. That’s something I love about the skoolie community is that everyone is happy to share and give advice. When you build yours, please reach out and we’re happy to help out in any way possible!!

I love that u both r so young yet made such a smart decision so early in life. I think its great that your ambition wasn't to fit the cookie cutter dream of the gated home with 2.5 kids and a job that pays u just enough to afford the monthly mortgage car repayments utilities bills. I'm very proud of your determination to be fully self reliant and off the grid at such a young age. I just wish I had thought of this at your age. But I didn't even have a utube at your age where we can learn how to do all thid stuff.

Love the tour, my favorite part was seeing how the cubic mini takes up so little space. I have not yet installed any heat yet. I like the fact that no power is needed to run the cubic mini. The curtain support rods in the cab and above the bus door are great ideas I can add to mine. During my June 2020 vacation I discovered just how much massive heat was being generated by the cab.

Thank you! Sure, we have roughly 23,000 into our build including insurance and a lot of hard labor. We have gotten this question a lot so we are thinking we will do a future budget breakdown video and share how others could do theirs cheaper. We could have done things much cheaper if we didn't put ourselves under such a time constraint. Would that be something you'd be interested in seeing?
