my skoolie(s)

i know! i was so stoked to find it, its a goldmine of great information and helpful folks. check out the jacuzzi busses haha

shitty that youre sick, cant wait for more pics

 

wow
yea i hadta bookmark that
great site
hell im gonna call chevy snd wake her ass up to look st that...she'll fresak
i saqw a couple on there ive seen around

tghe 4x4 monstortruck type bus is something i always wanted to do (if i had the bucks) there was a canyon tour company that had a huge 4x4 coach bus for exploring the canyon that i was fascinated with
but the home built oners are so much cooler (some lil bit rediculousely over exagerated though..i just want 1 that will handle heavy terain)

 

omg omg omg i could kiss u scattered
thank u sthank u thank u i think i just found the perfect bus
waiitting for chevy to call back and look at ity but called the guy..
the entire backs been chopped open to haul race cars, but that can be closed up with a hinged drop down door that doubles as a ramp to gert in
the size is perrfect, its in amazing shape..
i think/hope it will be ours real soon
yay im excitred

 

so is your aunts bus road worthy? itd be pretty neat to just park up in a valley and camp, but with all the comforts of a home-bus-thing =D

 

nah, it hasnt run for years unfortunately. it just gets towed around by a tow truck when she wants to move it lol.

 

i really want onnnee (one that works =D)

 

When our daughter graduates and leaves home, we plan to get a bus, transform it and travel across Canada, then down to South America. We would do it now, but our kiddo wants a "normal life" for awhile. Don't really blame her....she was a real trooper while we lived in a cabin without running water for over 2 years and when we lived out of our motorhome and tents for a year.

 

busmomma on here hase a bus she raised her kids in that is a schoolbus school
literaly the entire outsides painted with schalckboard paint so the whole bus is both a home and a school.

check out azealea at the bottom thats the 1 i was hoping to get
then check out the rest
many are as old as 1941

somewhere on there yas may also see a link to the bikebus page...worth a peek

edit damn the azealea page is no more

 

oh how fun! Ive toyed with the idea of raising Amara on the road in a bus before. But then reality kicked in and I realized that the whole idea is kinda silly with kids. But...to each their own I suppose. Do you guys and gals have veggie powered buses or fuel?
Scattered....looove your bus! I saw a pic of Frida by your bed. Any fan of Frida is pretty cool in my book! if my daughter was up and out already I would love to travel with you. Ill hit you up in 15 years eh?! lol. we can be travelin Granny's.

 

mandy..id ideally love to go veggie
if i had the resources id go electric, solar with veggie deisel backup generator
1 bus ive seen has a huge windmill that folds up on the roof.

as for kids on the road..homeschooling..its ewasy
just buses vcan be cramped watch a documentary called surfwise
kids in a bus need privacy as well as the parebnts and other adults need theyre private spaces or it vcan be traumatizing.

we plan on haveing a couple tipis wed set up for oprivate times, and to get outta the bus now and then
addirtionaly we thought about adding 2 vw buses ontop for the kids bedrooms
buses can be cramped with families but smart space usage can msake em just fine

 

i would give you mine but my mom wants to keep it until there is no fixing it but its a little beast its the loudest car in the neighborhood and has a lot of "get up and go", all my friends love it.

 

Man I need to find myself a cheap VW bus, but no one seems to have one that a poor guy like me can get ahold of, they all cost soo much

 

haha you bet mandy
my shorty is gas powered. im not planning on doing a propane conversion at this time. if it were diesel, i would be very tempted by veggie, but would not undertake that unless i had someone knowledgeable helping me.
its my first skoolie after all. i will probably have more. either that or stepvans or cubevans or those hardcore old diesel toyota truck things or a multi-fuel military vehicle (not that i could ever afford one)... i just like my customizable, live-in, versatile vehicles.

sunflower: sounds badass lol. i know all about driving loud, obnoxious vehicles that have little business on the road the fanbelts in my shorty squeal so loud when it starts, idles, switches gears, turns.... thats next on the list of things to fix, but it involves drilling out a broken bolt.

 

What the hell... That school bus is amazing! My dream home

 

I used to own a vw bus, and in my experience if you don't have a lot of spare money, and a lot of car fixing knowledge then there are much better investments than a vw bus. The 60's buses, and 70's westies are nice looking, but that’s about it. Trying to start, after stopping on a hill, in the middle of traffic, is probably one of the most stressful things I’ve ever experienced.... and my vw bus was in near perfect condition.

 

I am now obsessed with skoolies....thanks alot guys.

 

the first pic of the big blue bus has made me incredibly homesick.

 

I second this:cheers2:

 

ive always wanted a sschool bus lol. and i think i may be getting one wen i get back from my travels. SL u got any advice for person wanting to do this?
