Barefoot Bandits: Family of 5 Travelling in Their Skoolie Conversion

on August 14, 2020

This post may contain affiliate links & sponsored content.

The Barefoot Bandits wanted to get away from the rat-race and spend more time together as a family, so they sold everything and bought and converted a bus into their full-time home.

Now mom, Jacq, “wild-schools” her kids as they travel Oregon (COVID-permitting). They created the most beautiful home, with a giant counter for food prep, school, and arts & crafts, as well as a giant shower! Jacq’s husband was too tall for the curvature of the bus, so they cut out a hole and extended it an extra two feet in the air.

The two older girls have their own special bunk spaces, and the youngest sleeps with mom and dad. The cactus mural on the outside of the bathroom makes the place special. Enjoy the photos below and the full video tour with Tiny Home Tours!

They actually have bunk beds in their school bus cottage…

Look at that giant counter top!

And here’s the Master bedroom and the adjacent bathroom.

The bus even has a skylit shower! How cool is that?

      My parents always talked about doing a summer road trip like this and we never did. I think it’s so cool!
