Cabin-Like Skoolie Built with Milled 4x4s

Nick began his nomadic life after he got a remote job and sold his dog daycare. He already owned a truck, so he purchased a cheap 50-year-old truck camper, put it on his vehicle, and hit the road! After seven months of living with that set-up, he had a good idea of what he wanted in a more permanent rig—and that’s what led to the epic shuttle bus you’ll see below!

His skoolie feels like a cozy cabin inside, mainly due to the milled 4x4s he used to panel the interior. There’s a lovely variation in the wood tons, which adds tons of character. He has an outdoor shower, indoor toilet, chest fridge/freezer (for ice cream), and many unique accommodations for his blind dog, Narlie. Enjoy the tour below!

Highlights:

  • Nick first fell in love with traveling when he took a road trip on his honeymoon with his ex-wife.
  • He owned a doggy daycare, which he ended up selling around the same time as he got a divorce.
  • His dog, Narlie, is blind, and he made all kinds of accommodations in the rig to support her!
  • He hit the road in his truck at first, but eventually decided he wanted something more!
  • The shuttle bus gave him more space, and he knew from his truck camper life what he really wanted in a rig.
  • One amazing feature is his cozy bed in the back that feels like a separate room.
  • You’ll love the milled wood that covers the ceilings and walls! It all came from “ratty” 4x4s that had gorgeous coloring on the inside one they were cut apart.
