Karen and Chris worked hard and raised six children together, but for their retirement, they’ve hit the road in a self-converted skoolie to see more of the country! While they miss their kids, it’s been so fun to travel around together.
Their conversion is beautiful, and it’s fun to see a skoolie with no roof raise, just to give you an idea of what you can still do in a space with lower ceilings. They included everything to make themselves comfortable — even a soaking tub! You’ll love the tour below.

This couple ran into a coffee shop in skoolie while traveling in Iceland, and that sparked something inside of them. Before they knew it, they converted their own short bus, so they could hit the road.
Their bold blue bus has a cozy interior, with dark wood and paint, that makes it feel like a comfortable den. They have a nifty collage table, a comfortable bed at the back of the bus, and a slide-out chest fridge. Read their story in their own words below.

Jessie and Ashley — the “howling wanderers” — had always wanted to travel, but when they saw friends decide to go tiny, they knew they were ready to make the change for themselves.
But it wasn’t immediate! A project they thought would only take a year ended up taking nearly two years as they worked full time while completing the build. The result, however, is a gorgeous skoolie with a cozy and moody interior that makes a perfect home for them and their four dogs! Read our interview with them after the photo tour below.

Samuel hiked both the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail, and felt like after all that exploration, there was no way he could go back to stationary life in an apartment. So he got a 1977 Ford B500 short bus and converted it into a home on wheels.
He has limo-tinted windows to afford him some privacy, a flip-up desk to allow him to work on his artwork or edit videos, and a compact kitchen setup. He travels with his adorable cat and makes stunning copperwork art on the road. Enjoy the video tour!

Nate and Daysh are another example of folks who enjoyed tiny living for a season. The couple wanted to travel the U.S., so they started with a van build, decided they needed more space, and then upgraded to this beautiful shuttle bus. That said, they never planned on tiny living forever — so they are selling the bus now and building their first home.
Their bus featured a spacious queen-sized bed, huge pantry/closet, and a galley kitchen with an oven and top-loading fridge. The interior is light and bright with a really cool ceiling. Check it out below!

Heidi did all the “right” things — got a college degree, got a job, worked hard. But she realized she hadn’t seen much of her city, let alone the country. So she took an entire year off work to work every day on converting her bus into an awesome skoolie!
Her tiny home meets all her needs and is decorated with her own awesome, eclectic style. She has a full bathroom with a DIY composting toilet, a comfy couch that converts to her office space, and a hammock swing that hangs out the handicap door. What do you think?
