Details:
- Anna’s brother and a friend converted a skoolie back in 2009 that ran off of alternative fuel, which was the first thing that inspired Anna to believe in skoolie life.
- It took Anna and Josh about four years to convert their skoolie because they took some time off here and there. All in all, they think they could have completed it in a year of continuous work.
- Incredibly, they spent under $20K on the build! Much of the furniture and cabinetry is custom-made by Josh, who has carpentry experience.
- The skoolie includes a studio area so Josh can work on making music.
- There’s oodles of storage beneath the bus, which is one reason why they loved this model.
