    This is Bus: Skoolie Feature Friday

    Today’s Feature Friday is This is Bus! We’ve followed Dustin and Amanda for quite some time, along with their adorable entourage of two pups and a kiddo named Ezra who all live in their skoolie. In fact, we had a hard time narrowing down the features we love most on their bus! We decided that mostly, we just love their vibe – which is utterly genuine.

So much of the original bus shines through in this build. It’s not a conversion where you can kind of tell it was once a school bus – from the original color to the stickers still in place, this conversion pays a ton of homage to its roots. As much as we love to travel, we also kind of love that this bus is stationary on a farm, complete with an outdoor patio. Its owners, Paul and Ailsa, have traveled extensively in their van, Hank,…
