The Chandler family were living their “dream life” as Montana ranchers when they realized how much they were missing. After seeing discovering school bus conversions, often referred to as 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 huge king bed in the back for cosleeping with their youngest. A bathroom houses a fancy mist shower head and a Nature’s Head toilet, and there’s a spacious kitchen with a giant farmhouse sink for bathing babies. Enjoy!
