On August 9th, we left the comfort and safety of our front yard in South New Jersey and began our journey North to Rockport, Maine. We were hired on as camp hosts for the rest of the summer at a gorgeous campground by the sea! The drive took us through scenic valleys, around giant mountains, over historic bridges and through tiny New England towns. The journey took twice as long as what we originally estimated due to Buddy’s lack of…
Whenever we tell new people about the bus, we always end up answering the same questions and getting the same confused looks. If you are building a skoolie or live in a skoolie already, then these questions may be all too familiar to you! Why did you choose to convert a school bus and not just buy an RV? This one is not obvious to most people because most people don’t browse RV and School Bus prices on their down…
We are often asked about our plans for making money while we travel. Thanks to Jake, I was able to start working on my dream career last year. Now I make a living by creating branded social media content for start-up businesses and selling my work online, giving me the freedom to work at home and on my own schedule. Social media platforms function together to reach a larger and more defined audience than ever before. For example,…
In this video, we spend late August evenings removing the metal ceiling and unscrewing countless amounts of screws from the ribs and structure. After getting as many out as we could we had to remove any stripped or confrontational screws with the angle grinder. We did this for all the remaining sheets of metal until we had cleared the entire space. Music: Deftones – You’ve Seen The Butcher

In this video, we pull up the old bus floors and finally reveal how much rust was hidden beneath. We removed (most of) the rust and gave the floors a nice coat of primer for rusty metal. We ‘pennied’ the holes and finished it off with a coat of silicone enamel. Now we have our materials for the subfloor install! Music: Rush – One Little Victory
In this video, we ground thousands of bolts and removed the wall panels. We also removed the coverings from all the wiring inside of the bus and detached the stop sign from the exterior. With help from Jake’s uncle, Jim, we removed some of the decals and adhesive from the outside of the bus as well. We decided to showcase some the music that inspires us to do what we’re doing! The song in this video is ‘Frantic’ by Metallica!…
In this video, we removed the heater and metal floor trim from the bus. We decided to showcase some of our favorite music instead of talking to you the whole time! The song in this video is ‘Proxy’ by TesseracT! We will be posting a full walkthrough description to go along with this video about how to remove the bus heater on our Patreon page!
In this video, we removed over 140 bolts and removed the seats from the bus. We decided to showcase some of our favorite music instead of talking to you the whole time! The song in this video is ‘Five Magics’ by Megadeth! We have posted a full walkthrough description to go along with this video about how to remove the bus seats on our Patreon page!
