Once again, here’s a family with small kids taking advantage of the skoolie lifestyle! The Stone family is homeschooling in their DIY rig, called the “Green Bean,” which they spent about $15,000 making into their home on wheels.
The couple did all the work themselves, saving a lot of money in the process. They’ve been on the road for a couple months now, chasing the coastline and searching for warmer weather. Because the home is off-grid, their month-to-month expenses really only include the cost of fuel and the occasional campsite (they boondock most of the time).
Their girls, Pepper and Violet, have awesome bunks near the back of the bus with climbing stones, and plenty of room for toys under their dinette. Watch the full tour from Tiny Home Tours below!

Having Pepper learn how to “rock climb” and knowing the rules (only one appendage at a time should move is rule one) is such a useful life skill…My daughter learned it in a Montessori pre-k school many years ago, and still remembers.
Yes we have a rock-climbing wall outside and it’s great for the kids!
This is a nice home. If I had kids I would home school them. They would learn about the truth of our history. This is very comfortable looking. Those kids are lucky. Wish nothing but the best to this family.
Homeschooling is definitely becoming more popular in the midst of this pandemic!
