SCHOOL BUS CONVERSION SERVICE
With our 10 years experience in converting school buses into homes on wheels, we have come to know what floor plans and designs best make a Skoolie Home. We offer over 20 floor plans for a variety of bus sizes. Skoolie Home specializes in and only converts school buses. We know that the biggest question you may have is “How much does bus conversion services cost to fulfill my dream of a Skoolie Home?” The answer is always, “That depends on the way you want to travel and stay in your Skoolie Home.” However, we have put together an skoolie conversion estimate tool that will allow you to get a good idea of the projected cost of our bus conversion services.
The next big step is one of the most exciting days, you will deliver your bus to our bus conversion shop in Kingsport, TN. Soon, your build will begin on the agreed upon date and you will collaborate with your project manager over the course of the next 5-6 months to complete your conversion. Building a skoolie is similar to building a stick home in that there may be hiccups along the way. We do our best to mitigate any issues but sometimes your build may take a little longer due to a supply shortage, weather conditions (it gets really cold in Kingsport!) or some gremlin in the system that we just could not foresee. We always try to deliver on time, but encourage our clients not to make life decisions based on the delivery of the bus. (i.e. don’t give up your house until you are for sure you love the bus life!).
When you work with us for your school bus conversion, we want to make sure you stay informed every step of the way. You will receive regular updates, images and video to review as we work on your bus through our client portal (coming soon!).
While you wait for the completion of your Skoolie Home, we invite you to prepare for traveling and staying in your bus successfully by taking advantage of one of our live workshops. With hands-on experience, including how to drive and maintain your Skoolie Home, you will be “road ready” come delivery day.
The final stop of this journey comes when you arrive to take delivery of your fully-converted Skoolie Home, Finally, you realize your Skoolie dream and get on the path to freedom and fun, enjoying a new adventure in your Skoolie Home. As you drive off into the sunset, we hope you will stay connected and take advantage of the support from fellow Skoolie travelers in our Skoolie Homes Community on Facebook.
