After an R.V. vacation, Debbie said she *never* wanted to go camping again. But when she and her husband, Jim, lost their jobs and were watching Bus Life on YouTube, she started thinking she could live in an awesome skoolie conversion.
And Jim made it happen! They created a bus with a raised roof, radiant floor heating, and a spacious bathroom with a stock tank tub. They have a little wood stove for extra heat, tons of storage underneath the bus, and have no intentions of stopping bus life anytime soon. What do you think of their rig?
