    The Coolest Skoolie Bathroom

    This article was written for and originally posted by Bus Life Adventure, along with a video explanation on their YouTube with the banner “Coolest Skoolie Bathroom” – a compliment that went straight to our hearts. While I don’t know if ours is the absolute coolest skoolie bathroom ever, I am pretty fond of it. Our bathroom was actually the first part of our build that was set in stone.
