TRADED THE BUS FOR A HOME IN TEXAS | Skoolie Travel Vlog
Hola Amigees!
We pick up today at the beginning of our short stay in San Antonio Texas at an Air BnB with our amigees Eamon & Bec. We were hosted by new friends Aaron & Eryn, the owners of SA Urban Farmhouse, to stay for a few days to refresh and explore what the city has to offer.
We trekked around Mission San José and took the dogs for an energy burning day to The Pearl before stopping by THE BEST RESTAURANT WE HAVE EVER EATEN AT. Caps completely necessary. Sobin at "Thai Vegan" in San Antonio was such an amazing host, brought us the most fabulous food, and was such an amazing soul to spend time with. We cannot recommend this place highly enough, please do us a favor and try it for yourself.
We'll see you all on Thursday, please have a happy and safe week!
Hola Amigees!
We moved in to the van last week, made our way up to Madison, Wisconsin to spend time with family and since we've been parked we noticed there are some things we already need to repair.
With the 3.0l V6 sprinter, it's important to maintain the systems a little more than the 4cyl, and after inspecting a few parts on the van and running some diagnostics we discovered the DPF filter was a little too full of soot (ash buildup from the engine running). Rather than paying nearly $300 for a Liquimoly DPF cleaning wand, we spent $12 on some copper tube and a 1 gal hand pump pressure tank.
We've also had a suspension upgrade in the works for a few weeks and we both decided there was no better time than now to get it finished.
After getting everything sorted with the van, we street camped for a night, hit up costco for essentials like red bull and pomegranate juice and we set off north again. Any idea where we're heading?
Life is good.

Hola Amiguis!
This week we're leaving south Florida and heading a bit further north. The weather where we're heading is all sun and warmth based on our research.
We get to see our friend and explore his new boat with him before hopefully making it back to the midstate for a masked holiday around family.

As per usual, there's a lot we're unpacking in this video. We're taking you through the process of converting a school bus into a tiny home, but this week we're installing plywood on our ceiling, making holes for our 12v lighting, and we're using a CNC router to program and complete cuts for our windows, walls, and outlets.
And because we were asked several videos ago to show how we go about wiring our lights, I made sure to set aside some time to walk you through exactly what we're doing to wire our lights in the bus.
We recorded plenty that I can put together in a more in depth how to if needed. I've also recorded a video on how to use a standard 110V wall sconce for 12v lighting, which we'll put together and have ready in a few days or so.

Hola Amigees!
It's here! Can you believe it?
The light at the end of the tunnel for this crazy year and crazy build is here and we are so relieved, so in love, and looking forward to the adventures this van is going to guide us on.
With that said, we've put together a massive build guide with fully customizable 3D layout and it's available at the link below or on our website!
Thanks as always for being the best part of our week and we can't wait to see you next Sunday.
Life is good.

What's new on the bus?
It actually hit me as I was editing this video that we are actually as far along in our build as we are. I looked back to our first video and it's crazy how in such a short period of time we've gone from wide eyed and unsure how this would work to being so close to our first trip.
Here's a closer look at a few things on our bus. We finished our corner shelf for the bus entry way, show how we store and use the the dining room table, have a bit of a closer look at our wardrobes (they still aren't finished) and show off our interior hammock system.

Hola Amigees!
We've got a loaded episode this week. We've finished up our plumbing, which means we can finally move on to our last major project... the shower. We knock out the additional part of the sofa as well as the upper shelf above our front seats.
We're getting extremely close to finishing the build, but we've still got a heckuva lot of work left to complete.
Life is good.
