Join the Skoolie Community by taking this one-of-a-kind fully converted short bus for an adventure! If you're looking for simplicity in your getaway and to stand out from the crowd, this is your rig! Fully equipped with a queen size bed and loads of storage underneath, a dinette/single bed conversion with 2 bench storage seats and Nature's Head *Composting Toilet (Best thing ever! More on this later!) The kitchen sink has a 30 gallon water tank (lasts about 1 week before refilling) and solar-powered pump/faucet, propane 2-burner portable cooktop, Dometic travel cooler, mini fridge/freezer, 2 D.O.T. passenger seats with seat belts in addition to driver's seat. The 12V solar system is sufficient to power the hard-wired water pump and outlets for phone charging, etc., but upgrades are needed before the Skoolie will have enough solar power for all of your electricity needs. Instead, simply plug our ready-to-go extension cord into your RV park's standard 120V electrical outlet, and let our power strip system do the rest. You will have the electricity you need for our bright & festive string lights, cooler + mini fridge, electric coffee maker, and any other standard electronics you may bring along. The Skoolie has a diesel engine with a lock & key for the gas cap. A convenient rearview back-up camera helps you and your co-pilot with backing up the rig into your campsite.
A 5-foot enclosed shelf above the dinette boasts ample pantry storage, and the bathroom closet has space-saving shelves and baskets built into the walls for maximizing storage.
The Nature's Head *Composting Toilet* is eco-friendly and so easy to use! It separates liquids and solids for an odor-free bathroom, and while you will need to empty the liquids every couple of days into your RV park's sewer line or dump site, the solids compartment can last for 2-3 weeks, so you won't have to deal with black water or emptying the solids compartment on trips under 2 weeks!

We took our Skoolie, along with the cat, to the Gulf of Mexico for 4 months during winter of 2021 when we had the opportunity to work remotely during the pandemic. Full-time tiny living/nomad life had some unique and rewarding challenges, as we fully embraced the simplicity and flexibility of life on the road. I can't wait to get out there again!

Haben Sie eine Frage?Get answers directly from the host

Q.What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?
A.
You may pick up the Skoolie at a time that works best for both of us [between 7AM-7PM]. Then it is simply due back by that same time on your return date.

Q.How does a Composting Toilet work?
A.
Easy! It separates liquids & solids: odor-, chemical- & water-free! The liquids diverter works naturally when you sit down to use it. For solids, there is a trap door to open the compartment when you need it, and close when you don't. Then just give the crank on the side of the toilet a turn to mix up the coconut fiber compost (resembles garden soil). Toilet paper also composts. Empty liquids every 1-2 days (easy! I promise). The solids compartment will last for 2-3 weeks with no maintenance.
