Rolling update of all my skoolie travel photos in one place I will start this thread with my most current adventure, Northern Michigan. I drove up to the Traverse City area to see the changing of the colors and the views did not disappoint. Below is a photo of a dirt road I found near...

Hi everyone, I'm originally from Michigan, but have been in Florida for 31 years now. My son & I just bought a 2007 IC Bus RE 300 and have started on the demo. We are excited to explore all the experience you've already shared.

Technically I'm a SUNBIRD. I had to google it. I live in FL but leave to my summer place in MI during hurricane season. It's just me and my 15 year old doggie (Cassie) and a Kitty (Kitty). I grew tired of the trip to/from because: Finding a hotel, hoping they had a ground floor room. Then...

Hi everyone! My fiance and I are going to be traveling from Winter Haven, Florida back to Detroit, Michigan this Sunday (1/17/21). We are seriously considering purchasing an Escape 19. We're dying to see one in person and would love to check one out, of any model! If you're an Escape owner in...

First time RV-er here! I sold my 2014 Camaro ZL1 and 2020 Silverado Trail Boss for a 2020 Chevy 1-Ton diesel sra and the 377FL. My wife is Heather who is a NICU nurse here in Grand Rapids, MI and we have three left handed boys: Alex(10), Gabe(8) and Henry(4). I’ve been around RVs for 15...

Greetigs fellow sunline owners, names Troy. I have a 1992 saturn that I've had for 4 years and love the lady to death. Unfortunately the previous owner didnt quite understand things needed to be caulked over time and I have, just earlier today ripped the front wall out, bench seats and table...

Hey Everyone!!!! My husband and I purchased a 2002 Thomas build school bus that has 131,000 with a Cummings engine. we are super excited to build out our bus for a camper and who knows maybe end up living in it and traveling once we retire..... we have a long way to go before we can even camp...

I'm so happy to be here, and I hope I'm doing this right with a 'thread' (I'm also new to forums!) My name is Shannon Elhart, and I live in West Michigan. I've been dreaming of this for years - going on the road when my youngest heads to college (fall 2020). I have two reasons for this... 1 -...

Hello Everyone, I am new to RV'ing I love the Skoolie's it will be perfect for me & my husband to retire to this lifestyle.

I got it winterized and the wheels off ground on 2X8s and covered, then ended up going to hospital for back surgery. My question is should I hire someone to put cover on or just leave it till next spring?

Hello all! I’m Brian Hagler and live in mid- Michigan. I won an auction on a wheelchair bus with the intention of making it a camper to take my son camping. It’s a 1998 Amtran International 3800 with 444e engine and 545 Allison tranny. I have seen the debate on this engine/ trans combo and I...

Hi, I’ve been pondering an RV platfiorm for a while, and early on focused on the DIY option, mostly because of money and specific needs. I realized a few months back that I could get a more solid mid-sized bus than an extended cargo van for way less money, and get more room, and from there...

Hi, We have a 3950BR bought last fall. We pull it with a Ford F-350. This is our first RV, so I am still learning to maneuver it into spaces... We are keeping the RV at Waldenwoods Campground in Hartland, Michigan, and camp there a lot. We look forward to chatting with you all and getting...

Hi! Does anyone have any experience with registering in Michigan? The insurance wasn't a problem at all. Now just looking to register and registering as a bus or with weight was cost prohibitive. Who has some Michigan tips?

Just purchased a new to us 2013 Cruiser 27rkx 5th wheel. This is our 2nd Cruiser Rv and 6th Rv overall. Our current tow vehicle is a 2001 Chevy 1500HD with the 6.0L gas engine. We have run the gammet of styles from tents thru bumper pull and now our 4th fiver. Someday maybe a motorhome! We are...

We finished our conversion of a 2002 Bluebird in April 2016. We have already had some epic adventures! Check them out on our Facebook page by searching for The Bodega Bus. Hoping to find out more about future Skoolie rallies. Thanks for looking!!

We just picked up our new 28SE. It is the redesigned unit with the lighter cabinets and the tablet to run some things. Anyone else have one?

I must sell my baby-downsizing to a little egg type camper. This Camper has the power screw, Air, LP and electric fridge and has never had a leak. 2500.00 or trade for a little tiny skamper or other hardshell camper. Located in S.E.Michigan

A friend of mine just suggested this forum to me, so I'm happy to join and take part. Unfortunately I don't know how long as I just lost my job, will most likely move, and just made the decision the RV will have to go. Sad about that. I'm on my second Keystone. The first was a bunkhouse model...

We ordered a new F-150, but it isn't made yet. We can't pick up our new Sprinter 311 until we get the truck. Frustrating! We are camping in a few days, but have to use the old trailer. Anyway, we decided two years ago to get back into camping. I'll be retiring soon, so we expect to get out a...

Hello from Metro Detroit - new metro airport. Hubby and I just picked up our Surveyor 233T (2006) last week and have been moving our belongings in from our Amerilite (anyone want a 21 foot TT for a good price??) over the week. This TT looks brand freaking new! We upgraded to the hybrid with a...

Now the proud owner of a 2005 T-1950.:smile: Picked it up in Midland, drove it 2 hours back home. Never pulled before and even though I have plenty of truck for it (Diesel) it pulled very well. Stopped to get some cider on the way back and had to back it up too, in a tight spot! YEAH me! HERE...
