  • The #skoolieconversion continues as we install a new floor. After installing new insulation in the bus our next project was to install a new floor as a base to build everything else. How did it turn out?

    Welcome to our Big Family Expedition! We are a family of 8 that sold everything we owned in 2019 to travel full time with our kids. After being stationary for a while we have decided to live the RV lifestyle again. We are converting a skoolie for full time travel 2024. Be sure to subscribe to follow along on our upcoming travels.
    Not I built a house, But a tiny home, But I am building a skoolie, But I am building a skoolie for full time travel, But I am building a skoolie for full time rv life, But I am converting a school bus into an RV, But I am building a tiny house, But I am building a DIY RV, But I am trying to get insurance, But I had to remove the stickers to get insurance, But this is a Sticky Situation, But Not I Built MrBeast a Real Life Fortnite Battle Bus, But I don't know if this will work, or any other video like Chuck Cassidy, Isaac Turner, A Bus Life Story, Navigation Nowhere, Us Plus A Bus, Mobile Dwellings, or Jess & Jake would make. This is a real life journey of us building a custom RV to travel full time in 2024.

    A few things ---- Floor looks great! The Kreg jigs are amazing, used them quite a but during my furniture building phase ... now that that is out of the way... let's talk about the goggles!! Seriously though, when y'all get on the road we will have to do a meetup with @jandareview1 also - Just imagine the trouble we could all get into!

    Hi Chrissy and Kenny! The floor turned out great! Smart idea to make the trap door in the floor to have access to the fuel tank. We are looking forward to your next update on the skoolie!

    • @bigfamilyexpedition

    woo floor! I know Chuck likes the foam and plywood floor but I'll be interested to see how it holds up in your bus long term. I'm now seriously considering doing a van instead of a trailer.

    • @bigfamilyexpedition
      @bigfamilyexpedition  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you. We're looking forward to seeing how it does as well. Van builds are so neat! Would be perfect for a single person or even a couple. I say go for it! ❤️

    The rain is good IMO. It checks for leaks BEFORE you guys hit the road!
    I was thinking, man it has got to be hot in that bus after the rain, then you said 80. It's probably 110 inside. eeeek!
    It won't be long until you guys are going to be able to hit the road! The floor looks great!

    Kenny, that floor loooks amazing!! Hey are you planning on putting AC units in the roof hatches? Thats what we did in our bus. When you guys start traveling you’ll have to come our way for a night or two. Progress is looking great!
