From School Bus to Dream Home: A Family's Epic Journey Across America in Their Custom Skoolie
A family has transformed a traditional school bus into an innovative mobile home, embarking on an adventurous journey across the United States. The custom-built 'skoolie' features a fully functional kitchen, complete with a maritime-sourced sink and a cleverly organized spice drawer. For energy independence, the bus is equipped with 1280 watts of solar panels on its roof, supported by a 400 amp-hour Victron system. Heating is provided by both propane and diesel heaters, ensuring comfort in various climates. The owner, a former military member, explained that he and his wife met on the East Coast before beginning their travels. Their route has taken them through diverse landscapes, including Colorado, Wyoming, and the Pacific Northwest. The bus also boasts unique exterior features, such as a rooftop deck for gear and relaxation, and a pull-up bar at the front, demonstrating a commitment to an active lifestyle on the road. This mobile dwelling offers a unique perspective on family travel and sustainable living.
