Retirement in Their Hakuna Matata Adventure Bus

on May 20, 2023

Steve & Barbara were reaching retirement and figuring out their next step. Eventually, they settled on bus life and spent a year looking at buses. When they came across this 2007 Thomas C2 Skoolie that had only 30K miles on it, they decided to spend the $9K on it and get to work on the conversion.

The conversion is quite spectacular — with reclaimed granite countertops, a comfortable bathroom, and a cozy back bedroom. They have an excellent hand-designed front couch that turns into a second bed. What’s your favorite part of the bus?
