Our Skoolie has SOLD
But you can still learn about the items we found important. Read below to find out what made our second skoolie so EPIC!
Main Highlights of this Converted School Bus
15" Roof Raise
The Roof Raise on this Skoolie makes the interior ceiling height 7'4", and the very tallest point of the exterior is 12'6" which is the WeeBoost Cellular Booster antenna. The skoolie is a safe height for traveling anywhere without any issues.
Beautiful & Functional Interior
This was built to be a full time home. This skoolie has all the comforts of a normal home compacted into a 350sqft that can travel the country.
While designing the bus, we made it a space of calming colors, tons of natural elements, and stunning live edge Florida Cedar pieces throughout. With the integration of copper accents it has a modern feel, while still holding its roots of being in touch with nature.
Powerful Solar System
With 2600 watts of solar on the roof, this skoolie conversion has the power to run large load appliances like AC, espresso machine, hot water heater, and everything else as person might want completely off-grid.
We used Victron solar components which are top of the line, and offer many features that most systems do not.
