    Funny story... I was going up to Kansas about 1½ yrs ago to pick up some Appliances we had purchased though an auction. As I got off the Highway, there was a campground right off the exit, and they were parked there! Well, I too, live in a Skoolie, and so it's kinda a family thing to always notice other Skoolies "in the wild" we call it. Naturally, I had to stop and check it out!
    Well we ended up meeting, and had a pleasant conversation. If you remember me, Thanks for doing that!
    Anyway, it's nice to see what was on the inside of the bus, as I didn't want to intrude, and I totally understand that it's a home, and even with ours, we don't bring people in ours as it is our "safe space".
    Thanks for the video!

    The rig is innovative and sturdy looking. The bedroom seems spacious like many of the areas. I jsut hope that there's some understanding of the kids wanting to stay stationary or needing more space or more privacy. Some 2. Gen kids in skoolies don't want to worry their parent or siblings and don't let thwm.knoq how they really feel. You look like beight people and I'm 100% sure that you have all that in mind. Especially with 5 kids in the rig.

      @rossallen738 Рік тому +2

      I would definitely only expect them to be getting 6-7 mpg. Our full size Skoolie gets 10-11 mpg though. How much people spend on fuel totally depends on how fast they are traveling... If they're spending a week in each location and only driving for 3 ish hours each week, they are probably saving a lot of money because of removing rent and other expenses... Though engine failure is incredibly expensive.
