Short Bus Skoolie

NOTE:

If you sent me a message prior to 1pm (Pacific) on 5/9 please resend. Email address was a typo. Very sorry.

Meticulously converted and ready for the van life. Life plans changed and we now must sell. It has never been used as a camper and you would be getting a brand-new conversion. It was a fun project I shared with my daughter as it was supposed to be her tiny home. We hope somebody enjoys the love and thought we put into it.
