If I were given the chance to time travel back to one year ago, when we were in the midst of converting our school bus, I would have more than a few words for my slightly younger self. There’s a good chance we would end up arguing, but I would try to make him listen to the following words of skoolie wisdom earned after a year of full-time living in our school bus. We’ve learned a lot from our mistakes, but….it would be so nice to have not made them at all.
-
Install better insulation with better coverage.
-
Installing the electrical panel near the center rather than the back of the bus.
-
Put sound insulation under the floor in the driver’s area.
-
Installing outside outlets for cable and internet.
-
Going with a full size fridge instead of a mini-fridge.
-
Different paint for exterior of bus
