    This is the size id go with for a skoolie, looks much easier to drive thru town ✌

    I love this build. But the idea of going to the restroom right next to someone doing the dishes is cracking me up 😂

      Lady Alex, check out Independent Living Resource Centers. I know of one in SE Kansas that had a handicap bus but someone else beat me to it, buying a handicap bus I would like to have purchases. When I worked for SE KS Independent Resource Center, I did drive that bus taking consumers to a lot of places and it handled well and in good-operating condition. I am more likely to have someone do the conversion for me, someone who can truly build the electrical and plumbing up to safety standards better than I could, and people who know where to get products that work in these small buses and install them to stay and tolerate the vibrations that go with the bus moving. Also, check out state community assistance agencies. We have here in Girard, KS, SEACAP. Southeast Kansas Community Assistance. And yes, the one in Topeka is KNEACAP. Some churches might swing a deal for their handicap bus too if they are wanting to replace the one they have with a new one. Public auctions might have them but always-buyer beware. Have mechanical/rust issues examined before signing on the dotted line.

    Great bus, and maybe more importantly, great tour. We really don't need to know where you keep every spoon or sweatshirt. I like seeing all sorts of van/bus life, but some of them get a little TOO in depth. If it was a build vid, sure, details. Anyway... George looks super comfy and easy to live in. Thanks!

      Go to auctions on line. Like in Texas there is Lemons Auctioneer, and they handle the auctions for the schools, which is how I purchased a 2003 Thomas school bus with a wheelchair lift. Bought it Aug 2019, and I am feverishly working on it. 28' long bumper to bumper

  • @TheRealLadyAlex

    *ONE OF THE BEST SKOOLIES I'VE EVER SEEN!!!*
    Looking for a small skoolie myself. Need wheelchair ramp or lift.
    If anyone sees something, please hit me up!!!

      $4450 + an auctioneer fee, it's a Cummins diesel with 156K miles. Runs great, with an Allison automatic transmission, on a freightliner frame.

    We are about halfway done with our bus conversion. Maybe not..seems there is always more to do, things we didn't know or think about. We are not so knowledgeable about the electrical wiring, we are also going to be using solar as much as possible and know nothing about buying yet or install, and last we are trying to figure out the plumbing for 2 sinks and the shower. We will be on the road by next April. We are 2 adults, 2 kids, and 2 dogs.

      No skoolie for me but def tiny homes maybe in wheels maybe not. 🤷
      But I'm blind and have planned it out great and my family supports me in this.

    Thank you for this midsize skoolie tour. This is a more practical size for me and harder to find this content on university youtube.
    For future videos I have a couple requests:
    What is the low and high MPG?
    After acquiring your new rig, how much $ is invested to make mechanically sound.
    I realize some folks may be sensitive to the latter so I get it if you don't wish to divulge such info.
    Thank you for your video.

    • @TheRealLadyAlex
      @TheRealLadyAlex Před 4 lety +1

      This is pretty close to what I'm looking for as well. Only difference is I need one with a wheelchair ramp/lift. Good luck to you in your search!

    Thanks for sharing your conversion! It's always inspiring to see how different people design their buses.
    I just have a question - What/where is that community of skoolies you showed an aerial view of towards the end? Or at least, where are most people going around parking skoolies in communities like this? I'm so invested in the idea of doing a conversion but I'm kind of concerned about not having "neighbors"at least some of the time - I feel the community for skoolies is mostly based on social media/online with occasional meet ups, but are there actual skoolie "neighborhoods" like this?

    How do u find a good bus at decent price. Im disabled and looking for a schoolie. Every one i see is way too much. Was doing the van dwelling but van went down which was ok for now because my ex wife and her autistic son needed me to help take care of them. She is a stroke victim and he is highly autistic. Full time job. But there will be a time soon that they won't need me to help out. And i will be wanting to hit the road again. Really don't want to do the van thing. I need more room for me and my dog. As i said im disabled and need a bit more space. How much is a good price to pay for one like yours. I can do most of build maybe not the solar but the inside build i can probably do. Love you bus. ✌

    I just don't see what the allure is to living in a bus. I guess now it it's being passed off as "trendy" and "cool" instead of what it's been known as for years as simply, the hobo life.

    • @buslifeadventure
      @buslifeadventure  Před 4 lety +7

      Is 79 the year you were born? If so, that may explain your inability to differentiate bus life from hobo life... Also, "trendy" and "cool" these days is shown by love and compassion for other people's passions and goals in life. What are your goals? What are your passions?
