They Went From Ranching in Montana to Family Bus Life

on July 11, 2023

The Chandler family were living their “dream life” as Montana ranchers when they realized how much they were missing. After discovering school bus conversions, often called skoolies online, they decided to take the plunge and do a DIY conversion for their two young kids and their dogs for an unforgettable and perhaps legendary family lifestyle.

Inside the bus, there’s a fun loft bed for their 4-year-old son and a giant king bed in the back for cosleeping with their youngest. A bathroom houses a fancy mist shower head, a Nature’s Head toilet, and a spacious kitchen with a giant farmhouse sink for bathing babies. Enjoy!
