10 Unique Bus Build Ideas | SKOOLIEPALOOZA 2020

- We have been living full-time in the our skoolie for about a month now. When we left Colorado and started this new chapter in our lives, we headed south for the full intention of going to #Skooliepalooza.
Once we arrived we didn't know what to expect, but it has been nothing short of amazing. This community is incredible, and the ingenuity that people have put into their builds to make them unique and functional is epic.
We had the opportunity to tour several different skoolies. Although each build has it's own personality and charm, we found a few to have a certain uniqueness that not all have. In this video, Dustin and I share with you 10 unique bus build ideas to inspire you for your #skooliebuild.
A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in this video! We appreciate you all!

I feel like the guy at 8 minutes with the medieval door had a lot of awakening moments making that door.
It was definitely a project lol
@@RoadtripNVenture a really cool one at that! I would definitely use the slide.
H p
Looks drafty
That’s a great idea then as soon as that slide is put in place there goes those kids out into the great outdoors ha ha by kiddies!!have fun🤣🤣🌺🌺🌺🌺🌸🌸
The Farmhouse table is absolutely incredible!!!
For sure! It was definitely one of our faves 😍
@@RoadtripNVenture where did they get that part ?
The farm table was awesome! Totally didn't see that coming LOL Love the vinyl "sticker" idea too. I'm like hmm maybe I won't have to figure out how to paint the bus lol. 💯 What Wes said. People back home told me I couldn't do it. I couldn't pay all my normal bills and pay someone to build my bus (mistake lol) and live like this. For the first time in my life I didn't listen to anyone and here I am. I'm the Arizona desert surrounded by amazing genuinely kind caring people! 💙❤️
Yeah for sure and like we said we are here if you need anything. Thank you for watching
@@RoadtripNVenture it's easy to watch when it's interesting stuff! Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you! We appreciate that❤️
Love it
Beautiful people. Beautiful schoolies. This is our dream. Soon many will realize the freedom and wisdom in living in a schoolie is. Thanks for Share , beautiful people to be free thinkers and this is living . Freedom
I absolutely love the castle doors guy!
He sounds just like me with my first couple of projects lol
Ppl just don’t understand how rare straight wood & flat surfaces are to find
🤔
If the guy at 12:20 's kids ever join the Navy they'll feel right at home with those beds!
LOVE the vinyl stickers on the outside of the bus - very beautiful!!
For sure. It adds so much color!
Oh my gosh I love that table in the first schoolie
I really like “Stu’s” door solution.
That table is the bees bollocks!
For sure. I was absolutely amazed. We did a whole interview with that family, they are awesome. Check it out!
Love the goats in the bus. I like their attitude, draw the line and then step over it! Clever curtains were really nice. I'm definitely borrowing that idea.
Absolutely. The goats are awesome. Yeah you definitely just have to jump! Thank you for watching
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing! As Wes suggested, I am soon drawing the line to move forward with my goal of getting out on the road with my son in our own skoolie. A step at a time, a day at a time. I hope to build a skoolie family of friends to help encourage me as we make our way on this unique journey. Wishing all of you peace, love and safe travels.
That’s so awesome. Thank you for sharing. Their is an awesome amount of people to do this with as well as learn from but you just have to start
Great video... seeing everyone's invention, creativity and pride!
Wow there are so many!!!!
Many great ideas. #1 farm bench is doable in my Class A I may give it a go. #2 door latch could be done with regular door knobs. #7 Bunk bed storage took me back 40 years to when I was in the Navy. We had those type of beds. They were stacked 3 high. I will have to watch this video several times to absorb it all.
First, we want to say thank you for your service! We're glad you enjoyed the video and were able to get some great ideas! Thanks for watching 😊
The number of people who came! Impressive. I was very surprised.
Great idea for a table! Love the build
Blessings to you all❣️😇🙏
Goats in a skoolie is the WINNER!!!!
Unique indeed! 😎
I have been looking for that table for 2 yrs! I'm guessing he's the only one that has come up with it! I'm in the midst of a 5 window build. Looking for unique ideas in the kitchen space. Thanks so much!
The slide though man speaking to my inner child. 😂😂
Trey Choice for sure
#10 The Catalina , love that couch idea. I refurbished an Ikea toddler fold out couch bed as my cushions across our custom built storage couch frame.
Angela McKamey that’s awesome
Cool bed lift.
Number 12 ...Amen to him loved it thank you
Amen 🙏
Thanks.... we're building our bus and we are always looking for ideas that WORK! Ideas that have a real function. Thanks again.
Tim Amyett absolutely, glad you enjoyed it. Good luck on your bus, it’s so fun
First!. Hope you guys had fun at Skoolie Palooza . Thanks for the video . We can’t wait to do our first one . ! Stay up ! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thanks guys! We had an absolute blast. Hope to see you at Skooliepalooza 2021 🤗
Thank you for great ideas🎉🎉
Thank you for sharing. I hope to have my bus done in the near future, see you at Skooliepalooza 2021
You're so welcome! Yes, hope to see you there ✌️
loved the table idea, the curtains and the bed.... hmmmm..... on we go.. :)
Thanks for putting this together. The best Skooliepaloosa video I've ever seen. Also some very creative buses that offer me ideas as I build my Skoolie. 🤔
"My favorite thing about these curtains" *Lowers curtains*
Wes getting deep at the end. Great video. Loved that first couch/table, hadn't seen something like that
Thanks! We're glad you enjoyed it! We loved the farmhouse table idea too!
That's about all that interested me tbh
Wow !
Such a very interesting bunch of ideas and a neat way to live on the go and with less stress.
Such creative people
Yes, for sure!
Thanks for the video & very smarts idea the only thing I'm missing a Bus, soon I hope to find one without braking the bank!!
Great video. Loved the farm table.
Thanks! That was one of our favorite features too!
#11 : reaching for that line in the sand , “ PRAYS “ for all SkoolieS .amen
Thank you for the prayers. I couldn't agree more you just have to jump!
Omg I used to see Marissas bus at a park by my house all the time!!! I always wanted to see who lived in that beautiful home😍 beautiful inspiration beautiful video
She’s so cool too. Very free and creative
Great video you two! Thank you for showing us some awesome stuff that we didn’t get to see while there! I’m sure tons of others feel the same way! Keep up the great work.
Awww. Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
awesome!
wow!! muy buenos tips!! buenas ideas 💡
I'm wheelchair A lot of time can't do steps but I have soo enjoyed walking up unto your homes how inspiring. I found a bus with a wheelchair lift, we will see. Thank you!
Thanks. Great video !!!
I am do impressed with the creativity.
Oh yeah, tons of great ideas out there. Which did you like best?
I wanted to see the Skoolie that built a skylight roof-extension by fitting a 2nd gen VW bus on the roof ;)
I absolutely enjoyed this video!!! Great job, thanks so much! My fav was the folding deck! I can't wait to have the ability to have this lifestyle. Happy trails and I am subscribing to see more great videos. Keep safe.
Thank you so much. Glad you liked it and thank you for subscribing. Much appreciated
Thanks for the awesome vid! Hope to see you back again at a future event.
We most definitely plan to be. Thank you
Loved the couch bed. Went to website but everything they offered was sold out. Must be a tiny home/bus conversion craze! Plan to keep them in mind though! Back deck/ rooftop deck were great! Lots of good ideas!
Supplies are hard to find in any industry right now. Keep an eye out maybe they’ll restock
Love this video
great video,love the all little clips on different things.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Wow, so many great ideas!!! I've watched hundreds of bus/van videos and I've never seen that couch bed, the bed lift, or the decks!
Glad you liked it. Thank you for watching
Oh wouaouw so good video! Thank you very much!
Thank you for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed it! Is there anything more you'd like to see in our videos?
1 and 2!
thanks- Wonderfully creative ideas and EXCELLENT curation- subscribed
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it
Nice job - good focus on original ideas which I think most viewers appreciate (well, I do anyway). Agree with other commentators - the farm table is by far the coolest of them all - what a super slick design and efficient use of space!
Oh - I liked the rubber band and cleat one too - they get the gold sticker for low cost and efficiency! :-)
Yeah and the family with the table is so special, so it makes it even better! Thank you for sharing
Awesome video. I'm honored to have met you and learn your story. Then to see this creative video was inspiring. Keep up the great work your doing.
Thank you so much! It was a pleasure meeting you as well 😊 Hope to see you down the road ✌️🤙
Awesome Guys... I wonder if our Blue Bird Wanderlodge would be welcomed there....Looks like Great People and an awesome fun time .......
Of course you would be, all great people are welcome 🙏
I love #9.. curtain's ❤️❤️❤️👍👍🥰🥰🥰
Yes! Those curtains are awesome!! 🙌🏻
The Partridge family lives !
They do and they are awesome. We interviewed them and vlogged it too if you are interested. Check them out
Hey, that was some creative ideas ❤ We are in the starting process of changing out lives for the best adventures ever. This was fun. Thanks 👍
I plan on retiring in two years and plan on buying a school bus and traveling.
That sounds fun good luck
That’s awesome congratulations
Roan Gallagher
Thank you!!
Dustin & Tonya + Journey
Thank you!!
We are going to be eight people two cats and a snake... We need to get in touch with that first guy!
Very inspiring, thanks. My little bus has been in storage near Tucson for so long, I almost forgot I had one. Time to do a road trip.
Get that thing on the road...your killing me, lol. I want one so bad and there yours is. Be safe
@@barbibutton9619 If you're in the Tucson area, come have a look. I might yet sell it.
The initial idea was to use it on a new piece of property as an 'instant cabin'. But then I learned about Califormica and its damn codes.
So now I have a cabin in New Mexico, one in Alaska and a cabin/bus in storage. Too much shit. See you somewhere on the road ; -)
Awesome video thank you so very much so many helpful hints🥳😳🥳🎈
Absolutely thank you for watching
Great video
My husband and I bought a bus a few days ago to convert! We wanna go to skoolie palooza!! Where is this!? I feel like we found our peoples!
Oh yay!! That’s so exciting, congrats!! Skooliepalooza is located in Arizona every year near Quartzite. This year it was outside of Ehrenberg, which is only about 30 minutes from Quartzsite. They usually host it in January. If you follow Skooliepalooza on Instagram or Facebook, they should put out the info as to dates, times and location for next year as it gets closer. Hope to see you there✌🏻
@@RoadtripNVenture Awesome, thanks so much!! We hope to get there next year thanks so much!
That would be awesome
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌 Loved everything!!
Skoolie gurl Travels thank you for watching
Awesome video well done 👍 keep it going some great ideas 💡🛠🇨🇦🛠🇨🇦👍
Thank you badge. We need to properly meet.
That's amazing. I want a skoolie so bad but due to practicality and the fact that I already have the SUV, I am going to pull a camper. I so wanted to come to skooliepalooza. Love the video,. highlighting unique ideas - brilliant idea for a video tour
Heck yeah their is no rules other than make whatever you have work for you. We plan to be there again this year maybe we will see you there
@@RoadtripNVenture I pray it is do!! 😊

she said oh yes i can Lucky bus is a winner
So Im just sitting around watching schoolie vids. Suddenly I think that girl looks familiar. Then I see the name of the channel and realize thats Karbo's sister. Awesome Tonya . We used to go to the same school.
Awesome video with killer ideas... thanks
Bonnie Cavanaugh & SV Content absolutely, glad you liked it
@@RoadtripNVenture I'm planning on buying a bus, I'm currently living in a sailboat... not really liking it like I thought I would... so planning on a school bus, but I got to give the boat a lil longer and see how it goes... but km sure I'll be going for a bus eventually...
Bonnie Cavanaugh & SV Content that’s awesome we’d love to travel some water too.
That was an awesome video great ideas
Thank you, which was your favorite
Thanks for the video,got some good ideas.
So awesome. Glad it helped you out. Which one is your favorite?
@@RoadtripNVenture I liked that power platform on the back. And the cabinet locks out of boat clevises with the bungy rope. I have those items laying around to use. Later.
Awesome that will be cool if it works for you. Thank you
✌ hey, great video guys!!
Hey, thanks so much! It was great meeting you guys there! See you down the road ✌️
What a great video gives me loads of ideas for my future build do you plan to do any more of these unique build ideas ?
Heavy Fuel, if plans go without any unforeseen interruptions, will be at SkooliePalooza for 2021. We are now living in her, and trying to find the camera to make some videos of our build to post. Wes, thinks for the help a few years back with the radiator! We haven't forgotten you at all. Hope to see you there as well as the rest of the gang!
Brent & Kaye - Heavy Fuel
HeavyFuel@bus2020
Awesome we look forward to seeing you. We are with him currently and will let him know that you appreciate him. Thank you for watching
I love the gothic inspired door guy! Find flat ground! LMAO
wow, thanks the lifting bed idea and roof deck idea I think I want to do with my bus. my bus is freebird, a 1998 international 3800 bluebird. bird was a 71 passenger but more seats leaving as I get time. I bought bird from my high school. any 3800 owners have any idea why some of its gauges dont work when running. and it shows it's not charging with new alternator. and 8 way flashers not working, I pulled master with door open.
Great Video. Love all the ideas. Thanks for the cookies :)
Thanks 😊 And you're welcome!! It's been such a joy hanging with y'all!
from south africa.... the doorman.... he's good... he got me to smile... kudus to you fella, you will outstrip 10 000 u tubers, if you had a channel
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I'd like to hear more about the goats and chickens. Would like to add those to mine on either built.
Where the heck does he keep the goats? hahaha Love it!
He had a cool kennel for them that was on his rear bumper. He no longer has them but it was cool when he had them
lets see.... 1,2 and 10. especially 10... lol. thx
Those are some great choices
Thank you for watching
I dig it. We are starting our journey into building our skoolie. I think we will definitely utilize some of these ideas in our designs. You can follow us on our journey too. Thanks for sharing. You got another subscriber today..
Aww how cool!! We've loved watching the transition of our build. Thanks for subscribing! Hope to see you down the road ✌️🤙
Are you kidding me? The guy @ 5:08 is fantastic!
For sure, Tony is great you can find him at the great Gilly on social media
👍👍
very great ideas here. Enjoyed! Thought I was subbed to you a long time ago..but..Anyway Re-done and rang your bell!
Thank you! We appreciate the love ❤️
the girl'sdoors is beautiful (at 09 mn) !! I am in love ... report very pleasant to watch, thank you and sorry for my English.
Nothing to be sorry about. Thank you for watching. Please subscribe as we put out new videos daily now
cool video
Thanks! We're glad you enjoyed it 😊
I love the rooftop deck.
Sorry, I'm lied. I love the all of the door. I mean the girl who explained the all of the door.
Awesome
this deck can hold about a thousand people, that gaff made me loose it I don't know why.
12:09 reminds me of the navy.
👍 💚
🤗
Screw buses man and running into problems later on, For me, I'm gonna get a tiny home on a 2acre property one day where I can atv ride etc!! :) Every time I look at them I think of work and a lot of it...
That’s awesome that will be so dope, you’ll be able to build it exactly the way you want.
Remember too though that in a house, an apartment or a bus the heater goes out, the a/c takes a crap or the roof needs replaced. Everything needs maintenance and things break whether it’s a bus or a tiny home on 2 acres
So new gf says”But I can’t go. I have a kid, cats, and a goat”. “Uhhh no prob babe. I’ll just make a few adjustments”. I can dig it man . She’s happy U happy. Rock on brother!
'10 ideas'
The vid: 11 ideas +bonus
Me: wait a minute...
What do they do with the goats when they travel??
I want to know where he keeps his goats on the bus?? Like do the have an area in the back that is seperate, do they have an area in the bus that is designated for them, or do they just wander freely throughout the bus?? I WANT TO KNOW.. Goats are so cool man.
